Simmer2's Lots and BATs Lab

[Simmer2 23,807]

I think it is time to have my own place to dabble in....

Anyone who is following me  can bookmark this page for future projects show and tell. If you have been following my pipe project here are the latest pics showing what you can do with them.

For anyone asking about an MML for the set, I made one, therefore if you wish to use it, you now have that option. Release date has been tentatively set for Oct 1.

Hey these look great, gonna have fun with these indeed.

Thanks for all of your diligence and creativity.

[Simmer2 23,807]

In the process of moving at the moment but I found time to start a new project.

I'm batting and lotting a series of abandoned trains stops. Trying to convey a sense of decay and abandonment.

Trains will still cross the lots, some are still barely functional and some are just completely left to the inclement of time.

Here is a DTR one, placed in the sleazy part of the map....still functional.

Diggin the lot, there is more than enough glitz on the exchanges.

 

Great job!

[Simmer2 23,807]

W.I.P.

Uhm no. I made everything you see. That is a Gmax screenshot from my comp.

Great look for an economically depressed locality (seedy neighborhood, abandoned industrial park, etc.). I like the graffiti - for some reason you always find it near railroads and it would add a splash of color to a grungy area.

Oh cool, I was thinking I'd seen some barriers with graffiti there.

I totally agree with rathefalcon's assessment.

I'd would be great if you were to make little hobo tents and or shacks. (please, please, please), hahaha.........ahem, but seriously.

As added realism you could add graffiti in hobo code, I have limited knowledge of this.

Just ideas for you consideration.

Fine work Sir, fine work indeed.

[Simmer2 23,807]

Thank you everyone. I'm already working on a 3rd generation version which will have nite lights. Pics will be shown soon.

On another note, final preparations are underway to ensure a smooth release of my pipes project.
We should have lift off in 48 hours or so

I'm pretty sure there is a typo for your legend there. It's actually supposed to say "SM2 - THE Aqueduct Pipe Legend".

Can't wait to finally play around with these bad boys.

 

[Simmer2 23,807]

@kingofsimcity lol thank you!

Here is an update for the abandoned train station project....with night lights.

[Simmer2 23,807]

You will now find my pipe set here

Enjoy.

[Simmer2 23,807]

New project! (among all the others )

These are the base to build something that is missing in SC4.
Can you guess what it is?

Rail in road? Like the Chicago and SouthShore?

[Simmer2 23,807]

@DavidDHetzel Nope. It is the beginning for a sorely missing subway car depot

On another note, I have a small update on the HD stone project I started a while ago.

Here are a few.

[6StringShaman 112]

YES!!!!

[raynev1 1,886]

Heck yeah , who don't want more rocks ? They look great . 

[Simmer2 23,807]

Thank you!

This is still WIP but its getting there.

New depot buildings for my upcoming SM2 Subway Train Depot. Low res at the moment but they will be HD on final renders.

Next piece of the subway depot is done! Full HD 

SM2 Main Transformer used to feed the power hungry 3rd rail. 27,000 Kva to 625 Kva.
Here it is just shown on a small lot but it will be part of the main subway depot.

[Simmer2 23,807]

@BugeyedDragon Thank you!

Things are now progressing pretty fast. Here is the transformer again but with a custom made barbed wire metal fence I completed last night and signage.
Also....rocks! Lots of rocks!!

You are on quite a roll Sir,..........................thanks for taking us along!

Kudos!

[Simmer2 23,807]

@6StringShaman Thank you.

WORK IN PROGRESS.....Teaser!

[Tyberius06 12,209]

Oh, it's very nice. I like it. ☺

[Simmer2 23,807]

Thank you Tibi!

Big update, only thing left is search and destroy bugs and a careful polish of the 100's of props used.
I created dozens of new props for this project and they will be released before hand as SM2 Prop Pack Vol2. The timed family pack will be released with this lot. There are over 150 on the pack Timed props are on a 8 hours schedule in order to make the lot more lively.

Of course, the lot texture is completely custom made!

Regarding the triple track layout. I decided that there will be only one that actually will allow trains to pass across the lot the, middle one. The outer tracks have train props on them therefore it will look awful to see trains go through them. However, they will still connect to the rail network visually. Also, the road entrances are TE'd across both connections.

Connection between the outer tracks to the inner one, outside the lot, must be implemented when connecting with the rail network.

Here are a few pics.
