I am reworking the silverlake bridge. I am working on a realistic way for the bridge to connect on the land at each end. I will post a pic soon. Seeing the original version is not doing so well in the contest.

I would honestly suggest a slop mod and then completely rework the bridge.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Love the stone bridge replaced the old one with a new bridge that looks to be stronger and the connection at this end is a bit better than my last attempt. 

this end while connecting with the land is better still a bit of a steep grade .. The train tracks bridge looks better for the connection at the land...

Full Bridge View...

@Mary Maurine Mayo I think I like your first choice of bridge better , the second one looks much more challenging to navigate a sea vessel through . Unless you have an alternate route for water traffic . They both are interesting visually . And as DavidDHetzel said , a slope mod could be of great value visually as well .

i installed NAM finally I think I have two good bridges.

 

The sea port will go on the other side of the rail bridge as this side leads to a dead end. the other side emptys out into the next city block.

I have always had mixed thoughts about using these old Maxis rewards -- and here is yet another attempt to make the Minor League soccer field look a bit more realistic.

@Mary Maurine Mayo, Adding the rocks really did wonders too, love it!

 

@Dreadnought, nice use of the PEG boardwalk fillers!

Almost....
Finished the cyclone blowers and the washer system (used to separate non-metals such as plastics, upholstery, rubber etc. that gets caught in the mix) , also the control room and power conduits. Still have to do the rest of the conveyor belts to magnetic separators, trusses, supports, stairs and gangways etc. etc.

EDIT - 03.05.2019: Since the original image links are gone, I repurpose all the Heretic Seaport Project and its Expansion related WIP develomental posts, because they lost their purpose by now and I can not restore the original images. Therefore this first post will show all the different pieces what the Heretic SeaPort Project v1.5 contains and the later WIP posts will refer to this post back with a link.
 

Also the Heretic SeaPort Project v1.5 and the Expansion will get some technical update, which came to my attention in the past couple of years while I got involved more and more modding and LOT making. The earlier proposed second expansion with the modified (less light cones) base lots and new items however got cancelled (mostly the new items part). The reason behind this is, that I found a new approach and I'm gonna repurpose the new items into a brand new Heretic Seaport Set. It's like an evolution. However with the update the previously shared "beta" items (less light cones, or NO light cones) will be merged into the base sets with some additional filler pieces which came up as a request during the past couple of years. With this the previously called Heretic SeaPort Project will be re-branded to Heretic PEG-CDK3 Costal Remake Project (or something like this). The planned new set (let's call it for now Heretic SeaPort Project II.) and the updated set will be fully compatible, but the new set will be able to stand alone without the need of the old set - of course mix and match options will work perfectly.
*******************

Well I just realized the last couple of days that I have a lot of things to learn about playing with PIM-X. Thanks to Nick (Simmer2) who explained the mirroring trick for the base and overlays, which led me to mining out the PIM-X user guide and realized the possibilites of the multiple overlays on each tile and other useful things. Well after this I have to remake some of the original Lots, where I deleted every other overlays which were on the way of the new train tracks (because the PEG CDK3 SP lots use everywhere base textures for the rail track configurations).
Anyway I made some progress with my PEG Seaport Retexturing Project. 
I gave names of the lots, but most of them just conception/working title. The original lots (which were chosen to remake) apart from minor overlay fixing (as I mentioned above) are ready (the pictures above show the current status).
I started to make some 6 tile deep "filler" pieces, some of them have a DTR and an STR line too, and these got ENDING Lots both the DTR and STR on both side. There will be more filler, I make some only STR version. 

Well let see the picture catalogue of the current and probably in the future re-branded Heretic PEG-CDK3 Costal Remake Project:


1. PEG-CDK3-SP Docks and Heretic Additions/Fillers 
a; bulk-cargo and container docks

b; warehouse docks

c; RCI Fillers 

d; various corner pieces


e; END sections


f; Heretic DTR-STR and STR ONLY filler sets


g; Transportation Docks (parking and Bus)


2. PEG-CDK3-SP SeaPort overrides (these three only the functional seaports)
a-b; Pier One Seaport and Break-Bulk Seaport

c; Container Seaport


3. PEG-CDK3-SP Larger cargo and processing ports
a; Break-bulk Port and Container Processing Dock

b; Pier One Freight Port

c; Vandy Shipping by PEG and Bob's CSK Transfer Dock by Tamorr

d; PEG-CDK3-SP NBVC Outer Corner


4. NBVC Container Port sets and Heretic Additions
a; NBVC Container Port set


b; NBVC Container Port Transition 01 10x20 Lot. It can be connected to some of my new 6 tile deep "filler" or the RRW STR line, because that will be TE.

c; NBVC Container Port Transition 02 16x8 Lot. This is the other half, or other ending. It's a different sized and shaped lot, I deliberately made like this and not a mirror version (for me that would be so boring). I made this these two lots to supplement each other, but the user also can put any of the NBVC Modular Container Port pieces. It would be some kind of transition between the CDK3 seaport and NBVC's Container Port. At this moment I'm not sure how to make some parts of these two lots, because NBVC used the same base textures as Pegasus, but I made to myself a new version about a years ago. Probably the best will be if I make contact with NBVC and ask his/her opinion about this.


5. Heretic CDK3-SP DTR-STR Transitions and Large Yards
a; CDK3-SP Transitions

b; DTR-STR - STR ONLY Transition Industrial Yard 01

c; STR ONLY - DTR-STR Transition Industrial Yard 02

d; STR Only Freight Yard 03

e; Industrial Rail Yard 04 – DTR-STR Warehouses 01

f; Industrial Rail Yard 04 – DTR-STR Warehouses 02

g; Industrial Rail Yard 06 – Container Rail Port


6. Tamorr Freight and Warehouse Rail Port additions
a; Tamorr Freight Rail Port

b;



7. CDK3-SP and various canal transition pieces:
a; SG-CAL Canal Lock

b; SG-CAL Canal Wharf and Lock

c; PPond Canal Lock Transition


8. Heretic Land Fillers


The catalogue of the Expansion will be available in the first post where I introduced the Expansion at the first time.

I've been looking for a place to use this lot (like a bunch of other stuff I downloaded).  I probably should have put it on top of a much higher hill -- but it's up about 60 meters above sea level.  The theory is that it was built many years ago and the city has continued to grow around it.  It still has a nice view out over the modern commercial district and the marina district along the boardwalk.  It's also a little enclave of wilderness in the big city.  Again -- the filler lots have gone a long way to "polish" what was already a nice lot.

Where do you found that building?? It's perfect for a key hill on the back story of my CV!

[raynev1 1,886]

@Dreadnought That looks really nice .

@Tyberius06 Quite a project you are doing , looking good so far . Brought to light some things I didn't know existed . Thanks .

@Simmer2 Looking good

Yo --

I don't have a link to the site -- but the name suggests it's the Polish site.  "SimPolska" -- ???  (I thinks that's it.  It's been a long time since I downloaded it.)

If anyone has the link, it would be a great help to Matias.

Though, it looks done; you can; if you zoom in closer see I still got to touch up dependencies, fill in empty spaces, and finish areas around downtown and get new buildings, so that the downtown area isn't all housing and the businesses focused purely on main street. It when finished, will be a small city of about 15,000~ people to be featured in a future CJ when it's completed,  inspired heavily by Southern U.S. cities like; Mobile, Houma, Biloxi-Gulfport, and other smaller cities; it's maybe about 75% done as you see now.

After not playing the game for almost three months, I decided to make a couple bridges. It took me 3 hours to get the heights and approaches of these bridges right. I guess I'm a little rusty with the game now.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

so after days of just playing the game I am now bored so I got to playing around in B.A.T today and cooked up this..

older style building and for the moment I am calling it a warehouse I have a special lot for this buidling. I even worked out the night lighting as well. Your input is welcome as this is a work in progress... 

[raynev1 1,886]

@Mary Maurine Mayo That looks pretty good , I'd like to see how you lot it . 

@9gruntsand1hammer It's been a while , glad to see you're back .

@Doctoryzer looks nice , and a future CJ in the works . Cool , looking forward to it .

close but not quite. I'll let ya'll know what it is soon as I get the particulars figured out and the bat itself done.. working on the lot for it at the same time....but for now it's a surprise..

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

todays project. This is an update to the original XRax houses I lost the original model so I had to make a new one. This Model since I am fond of chineys and fireplaces I added one the deck is larger and I also gave this one a front steps. I have 4 windows left to do and some light fixtures then I can start adding textures.. I found that the originals that were posted a while back on the stex were not seated right preventing me from adding flora close to the house. and making it compleately unuseable. so I rebuildt it from the ground up. I will be adding  a garage to this model like the prev ones. Another work in progress so any comment are welcome.. 

[Simmer2 23,831]

Hello all.

Here is a new project for everyone to enjoy. Coming soon to a screen near you 
The whole project is designed to be MMP friendly. You can use anything as base (as you can see from the pics)
No base texture for maximum flexibility and of course you are not going to have the infamous water bug with these lots.

I call it SM2 Aqueduct (Big water pipe). However you can use it to simulate the transportation of any fluid if you wish. It is a 2 meter wide pipeline.

I have 18 pieces already made. Here is a list.

1) Straight
2) Straight variation2
3) Diagonal
4) Diagonal variation2
5) 90 degree bend
6) T
7) Cross

8 ) Straight overhang
9) Diagonal overhang
10) Diagonal to straight right
11) Diagonal to straight left
12) Diagonal to straight Y right
13) Diagonal to straight Y left
14) 2 pipe pump house (pressure booster)
15) 3 pipe pump house (pressure booster)
16) Underground
17) 1 tile bridge (overhang)
18) 2 tile bridge (overhang)

here is an update on the house allmost an exact duplicate of the old XRax houses from my old days 

an small update on this bat as well. added two dumpsters and took out the concrete it was preventing me from lining the trucks up with the bay doors. it may even be the ramp. still a work in progress.

A preview of my first Lot for the re-lot contest. Just need a better photo!

 

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

this is an update on the project I have been working on for the last few days. finally finished.. soon to be rendered....

this is an update to the old XRAX houses that we did way back when I found that they were not rendered properly so I rebuilt the model from the ground up.

WORK IN PROGRESS --

THE JADE BIGHT --

WILHELMSHAVEN:

(Click to make bigger.)

 

This started out as a simple re-lot of Paeng's old Newman Inc. Chemical Plant.  The idea was to change it from a dirty industry (of which I have too many in the city) -- to a manufacturing industry.  Some serious changes to the lot files did the trick since I can't seem to locate the model files anywhere.  (They must be there somewhere, just can't single them out.)  The actual lot was just fine -- very nice work (though the zoom flags appear to be wrong since it disappears at max zoom out).

But then I decided it needed fleshing out with some custom filler lots.  I added a parking lot in front.  Also --  a custom lot for a metering facility and stuck it in there -- as well as re-lotting a couple of T-Wrecks' IRM filler lots.  And when I saw the final "footprint" for the industry, I bumped up the number of jobs to compensate for the loss of space.  You have two views, and another one of the general neighborhood.
