[jacqulina 162]

[io_bg 249]

Those are jeronij's rural walls.

[De Ja Vu 117]

Wow these are some awesome farms! Truly realistic! Kinda makes me wanna upgrade my farms to more realistic ones

[io_bg 249]

Yeah, PEG's SPAM really help you make more realistic farms

Here a couple of new pics

[jacqulina 162]

wow looks so real

[Eʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ 273]

This is some new stuff I'm working on. What do you think of it so far?

[io_bg 249]

Looks very nice, I like the irregular shapes of the farm fields and the trees between them. Though I think there's some room for improvement First of all, I'd suggest you to replace the old Maxis highway with a RHW. Also you could use smooth curve pieces for the roads and streets.

Thank You! I love constructive criticism!

The only problem I have to admit is my trouble with RHW. I originally planned to use it but I'm not a road junkie at all, I find its so complicated and I haven't really been able to find a thorough guide on using it. The only way I thought I could semi-solve this problem was to use maxis highways with different textures. I know it makes everything look so blocky and the real secret to making amazing rural areas is to avoid "blockyness" as much as possible. I'll see what I can do.

How do you deal with desirability loss due to traffic (mostly freight trucks)?

[jacqulina 162]

very nice work

[logintime 93]

One of my first attempts at a farming region- this is a shot of a small hamlet. I'm still learning how to design rural areas, so any constructive criticism/advice is more than welcome.

[ee99 150]

@Logintime. there is nothing wrong with that as far as i can see so

Heres a Wheat/Rye feild hidden in a forest

[Gath22 15]

@ee99, looks cool, but the emptiness of the area around it makes it look a bit odd.

Some pics from my CJ Demoria

Jmarshall: Nice work, but they would look a lot better if you used the SAM to change them to dirt or gravel streets.

[antsel 841]

Great looking farms Jmarshall! I really like work with MMPs to get the terrain look rural and rugged, though I agree using SAM dirt roads would make it look better. Besides that, it looks amazing

Ahh the smell of the countryside... cant beat it.. as a country boy now living in the big smoke, recreating the charm of rural life in simcity is about as close as i can get...

Here is an area i call Stone, its a new town i started about 5 hours ago as part of my first ever journal.. coming later.. much later ( soon as i can ween myself of my mod addiction and actually play

Anyways.. here is tha major part of Stone.

Two small villages to the east.

Stone's largest of the private farms, The "Bread n Bitty" grain and dairy farm.

And ermm... whats this.. One bull.. Many cows.. Hello ladies

Well thats all folks... Oh and.. git of my land!

[Ion_Cannon 677]

Nice farmland pics and good use of SPAM. I think the windmills look a little odd in the middle of the fields though. My suggestion would be to plop them in their own smaller fields with surrounding fences, much like the cattle field.

[kanedo 5]

Yeah.. im a SPAMaholic

never did get why Maxis made the windmills a 2x1 tile... i agree they do look a little odd, i think i'll look for an alternative energy source.. hmm maybe that could be my first lot idea.. thanks

[Eʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ 273]

Wow I like what you have done with this area. Its quite unique. The dairy farm is also pretty impressive. May I ask what you used for the silos?

[kanedo 5]

Well i found an alt power source.. a Nexis diesel genny.. looks perfect

Silo's and barns etc are all part of the SPAM and rural sets and add-ons they are a must for farmers

[Eʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ 273]

I'll have to go check it out. Thanks Kanedo!

[Yarahi 1,823]

I don't want to be SPAMming this thread So, here's a picture of farms from the BTE-chain mainly

This was just a test to see how it works, so therefor no detailing

The town that I recently have been working on, Millsboro, started as a farming town that has now grown to over 8k inhabitants.

I am really proud of the two following pictures because this is seriously the first time I have ever been able to create a working train system in a town.

[Terring 6,476]

Farms on Mars. More in my C.J.

[ee99 150]

[citiesxlfan42 27]

Wow ee99, that is simply amazing! I love all of the smooth curves in the farms! Great job everyone, making my farm look amateur.
