    I got good news and bad news.

    The bad news is that the Maxis solar plant cannot be relotted to include road access. Basically the building is the entire circle so it becomes impossible to make it look better.

    The good news is this:

    Have you given @Manuel-ito's relots a try? I filled in the three he didn't do and don't really want to further pursue Maxis relots since he already did them.

    He hasn't relotted much of the Maxis reward buildings. That Maxis convention center needs to be relotted.

    The relotted Maxis civic buildings look pretty good by the way.

    Ah. Is there any other Maxis rewards I should be aware of?

    There's also the Maxis city zoo that needs to be relotted. Also the army base and the missile silo that needs to be relotted.

    Well I'm definitely not going to touch all reward lots, but all at least look into doing a few more. That is if @Manuel-ito isn't pursuing the Reward lots himself.... Got any plans to do these @Manuel-ito?

    I had (well, still have) plans to relot the rewards mentioned, but real life issues, university and interest in other things are keeping me from realizing them. That said, I have no qualms about someone else relotting those rewards in the meantime; in fact, I'm interested to see how it turns out *;)

    Speaking of rewards, @FrankU made a series of dutch-temed relots of various Maxis rewards, including the Zoo. Might be worth to check it out.

    In addition to helping @Ceafus 88 with lots in the future, I will continue to do relots as well.

    My normal routine will be back on track starting Monday. But for now, here's a few more civic relots to wet your appetite.  I don't plan on relotting the Maxis Army bases or missile launch site simply as I don't have the knowledge of what they realistically should look like.

    It's coming and will be relotted. I didn't picture everything as usual.

    Quite happy with the progress I made on these civic relots. I managed to relot 15 lots in just two days! 

    In addition to 7 Maxis relots, I've also got power plants from DK1, vet from Ceafus88, and a few Simville lots from s_olah. Aiming at a release of Civic Pack Two tomorrow afternoon/evening.

    And then there were more.... Enjoy!

    One thing to note on the Convention Center relot is that no above ground parking is included. I intentionally did this as the convention center is something that would typically be found in downtown settings. If the underground parking isn't enough, then I suggest adding a parking garage nearby.

    I think some more restaurants are in order next.... :D

    Sneak peek of a few restaurants. I tried to include DK1's diners but between a game crash and graphical issues, I will pass on those. Any other restaurant suggestions would be appreciated.

    These pretty little things are now available. :D

    There is a chance that I may add a few more in down the road as the pack only has 12 instead of the usual 16.
