Where is that Burger King from? Also there's a McDonald's you could used on the Chinese website. 

Which Burger King? Got two listed in this update. I also think that we have plenty of McDonald's lots to choose from already.

Yet even more BATs I've never seen before . Looks pretty good!

One suggestion for your larger shopping center - if you haven't done so already - is to use denser car cluster props to fill up the parking lots. From what I can tell, you've been largely using single vehicles. The scattered single prop approach works perfectly fine on your smaller lots but may end up a tad too sparse on larger ones. Larger clusters are a quick way to fill up those spaces and make your larger centers look more lively and busy, and you can spend more time (and props) beautifying the rest of the lot.

 

There's even more to come in the form gas stations and even a truckstop or two.

I'm aware of larger clusters, but have been uncertain as to which ones I should use. Is there a good one to use for this style of parking lots?

The red and tan one, some what new one.

The SHK clusters are your best bet since the spaces were tailored to fit those cars.

So happy to see a truck stop much needed. Can't wait till see it all down thanks so much. 

[RRetail 7,906]

1.0.1 adds a BP Gas Station, three new gas stations from the 'Forsaken Files' and also a car wash.

[Evanjs 602]

Same as the Dollar Tree and TJ Maxx files. Not enough work done to the actual BAT to make a nice looking lot.

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

@Evanjs where can I find the chinese McDonalds?

@RRetail Good, now I can have gas Stations that match @paeng's modular truckstops!

 

[RRetail 7,906]

Always glad to help!

[Evanjs 602]

@DavidDHetzel if I fine it I'll let you know.

Mall updates and two more plazas:

[Evanjs 602]

I like it..... looks good. 

[RRetail 7,906]

So I know I haven't posted any updates in a couple days. I'm taking things a little slower, especially since I was almost hit by a tornado today. I will be heading out for a week long vacation on Saturday. I will try to get at least something added to the STEX if I can before I go. Thanks for your patience.

That's very scary...I saw the pictures, that was a bad one...it's that time of year. Good to hear you didn't get hit. I feel bad for those people who did...but that's just when the neighbors rally to help.

Thanks. Yeah it was a scary experience, but at least no major damage came about here.

[RRetail 7,906]

I figured I'd get something up, just probably not what you expected. Enjoy the surprise!

[tigerbuilder 131]

I love what you're doing here. These lots are great. So many models brought up to date. Thanks for doing all the work and sharing with us. Add me in on the download list although I haven't started yet getting them. I will be "binge loading" your lots when you are done. 

Thanks, tiger

Thank you and I appreciate this feedback. It is hard to say when I will officially be 'done'. Perhaps I'll find plenty more projects to do. I'm always open to suggestions.

[RRetail 7,906]

Very close to being released. Any suggestions?

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

How about a Valero w/ the Stripes convenience store?

Yes I argee, And maybe a shell pumps with the 7-11

 

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

^ Cool idea

 

I wish Heblem made 7-11 and Pilot pumps.

[Evanjs 602]

Or even maybe a couple different 7-11s. Like one shell, 76 and maybe Exxon. I've seen them like that befor...

[RRetail 7,906]

The Valero with the Stripes is an excellent idea that I will for sure be doing. Makes use of two other props that I wouldn't of used otherwise.

I also wish Pilot pumps were made. The Pilot prop is too small for me to work with sadly. 

As for 7-11, I'll experiment a little with it a little more, but I'm not making any promises. I'm happy with it as it is and the reason being that I have also relotted the BSC 7-11 that comes with gas pumps. I forgot to put a picture up of it so I apologize about that.

[Evanjs 602]

Is it maybe  possible to make a second truck stop, like a shell with a McDonald's maybe or Burger King.
