[Silur 3,308]

It's a very attractive building. It is very relevant in developing cities.

[pclark06 12,073]

Working on the base of this next building, I don't expect it to be complete for a while as I want to make a detailed front facade/front office.This place sells every brand you can think of: Can-Am, Honda, Kawasaki, Polaris, Sea-Doo, Yamaha. Sims need their adrenaline rush.

[pclark06 12,073]

been making props all day for this dealer. four new ATVs, a couple new motorbikes as well. Thinking about releasing them separately with other props that I have made in a prop pack but not sure.

[CT14 2,486]

Nice props! Colors might be a little bright on a few like red and green, scale looks pretty good though. The quad on the top left stands out as being quite large.

The big dirt lot in the second picture is looking good too!

The dirt lot isn't mine, but it's mostly being used to demonstrate the sign prop. I might do some sign props for modders as a project that goes thru into next year. I'll plan on darkening the textures on the ATVs/changing the size for sure. Shouldn't be too hard. Also, as for the building itself, there's a lot of work to do on that and I may go beige instead of white and change the color scheme.

Take a trip to the south with me...

It might be more of a saturation issue, actually. I wouldn't say that the red ATVs are too bright per se, but they sure stand out because the red is so saturated. Lookig at it more closely, the roof of the building is pretty saturated as well, while the rest looks spot on to me.

Good idea to make a quad/ATV dealership, by the way! I don't think we have any of those yet.

I actually scrapped them. They didn’t look like anything dealers were actually selling. Here’s what the lot looks like now:

Still have not finalized the sports bike texture so that is likely to change. The building itself is getting closer but still has a lot of work. I can do some roof texture work tonight.

Looks like these little fellas need a home. There might just be something we can do about that.

Man you make me happier and happier everytime! 

[pclark06 12,073]

finally getting this one done. it even has a faded NASCAR sign from 1999 that still hangs up next to the truck garages.

 

[pclark06 12,073]

My next big project will be a set of five different franchised True Value locations (they are all fictional), using the same building but different textures. A lot of True Values are franchised in small towns and are usually mom and pop stores that acquire the branding. I am doing things this way because I like the variation between small towns in a region of different franchises and I thought it would be cool to try this concept with True Value. I may do this in the future with IGA as well.

 

Some other buildings to look out for in the future:

A bunch of boxes! A fictional gym called "Stretch Fitness"


Sears Hometown - needs lot done. I plan on adding an area where there are lawnmowers for realism purposes.

Interstate Batteries - really the DESC file needs to be changed and needs more added to the lot along with a sign.

Truck set 4 is also a WIP.

Digging the True Value project and the Sears Lawnmowers...

Is it safe to say we are getting a Winco Foods?  There was one one here before and I had it downloaded and but lost it when my old laptop got destroyed

I mean not from me in the near future. I wonder if someone else has it? I've been looking for it myself.

[RRetail 7,912]

Sears Hometown is something I've been putting off myself but have been wanting to do in an older standalone style. Glad to see you'll be taking a modern approach and even better if you are making lawnmower props!

I do plan to get back into doing supermarkets, its just something that I got to find time for.

I probably will use some of the stuff that's out there. If I can't find mower props I want to use specifically, I may look at Turbosquid and ask for permission from authors there if there aren't any.

I know Simgoober has made some, but I'm not really sure if there are others in bulk.

Yeah. True. I'll scout around. Turbosquid is how I got my ATV props... with heavy modifications of course. I changed the textures and exported from 3DSMax into gmax (and that was all after asking for permission from the original author). It was definitely a process.

[pclark06 12,073]

Since my stuff is not showing up in the front page for some reason, check my latest uploads out.

Next up: ???

[pclark06 12,073]

All this Potbelly needs is roof junk and it's ready to export.

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

Your texture work is getting better and better! Really like the roof on this one.

[thecitiescenter 3,059]

The interior looks great!

[pclark06 12,073]

@kingofsimcity @portlandexpos04 thank you! this is how it looks in-game using the First Watch lot.

[pclark06 12,073]

Unsure why my stuff is not showing up on the front page, but Potbelly has been released.

[pclark06 12,073]

time for a Cook Out?

[pclark06 12,073]

Next up will be a set of Drive-Thru liquor stores (whoever came up with that idea definitely didn't think that one through), and another possible building in the queue will be a boat dealer.

[Billk2007 307]

Awesome! I always said we needed a bot dealership and there really isn’t any liquor stores or I haven’t found any. Have you thought about a vape shop or tanning salon? They are in every strip mall out here.  Or soda shops. We have Fizz out here
