thoughts help ideas and guidance for my lots

[adambailey39 86]

hello, ive been working with google sketchup for a very good time now. i use it for everything in my models. ive recently uploaded a couple lots ive made and ive got some helpful reviews saying i should post here for thoughts or info on making the lots more realistic. I think one problem i have in using sketchup is when i used textures, they render much brighter in the BAT then they should be. I try to adjust knowing this and its getting better. But other then that, what are your thought on my 2 lots ive uploaded? Please give me some advise or ideas. im new to uploading lots and they do not have nightlights cause i havent figured out how to add them successfully. ive search the omnibus but i have about 0 know how in the bat and gmax besides rendering the models for the game. Thats about all i do in gmax BAT. So any links to nightlighting tutorials for unknowledged gmaxers would be helpful.

The links to download or view my lots :

Also i must say that i have alot of other models made in sketchup that i havent uploaded to here because i want them to be alot more detailed and realistic.
