Yesssssir, that's the one! Should've come earlier and ask instead of searching like an idiot in all the wrong places. Thank You , gwada971, much appreciated.

This mod allows for permanent over-sea-level water bodies. Is not that easy to use, but the results are astounding...

@gwada971 Ah nice set ! I am using another one that is definitely less modular.  (Motokloss)

 And I suddenly have a question : that set completely blocks access to buildings (and they don't like it !). I'm gonna try this SLC set (also, the parkings are lighter in colour, I like that) ; but is there no way to change the access blocking aspect of such sets ?

And a second question : I'm afraid the cars are a wee bit dated.  I assume this can be fixed in the L.E. ?

(There are of course, more recent, smaller sets with more up-to-date cars -- read SHK ! *:) . Paeng's diagonal parkings, if I am not mistaken.)

  @matias93 Ah yes, JENX Poseidon stuff. Some of the waters seemed a bit buggy last time I tried them, but all in all, those Poseidon effects are amazing, indeed. (The water falls, wow ! Although the coloured ones are definitely buggy -- the colour stays after you bulldoze them)

The cars are, in fact, just the Maxis default cars, but on the STEX screenshots they are overridden with Mikeseith's Euro Car Replacement mod. You could either override them with any other mod out there that does the same, or replace the Maxis cars with custom props such as the SHK ones.

@tariely Nice Simcitler set. I agree with you on the cars, but most of the car packs used by SHK or Motokloss were uploaded 5 or 6 months after the Simcitler lots. This one suggests in his read me the optional installation of the mike seith mod (2005) to replace cars (as in the pictures attached to the upload). As for access, I think the goal of these lots was just to be along the roads as shown in the description to visually enhance the road system. Precursor of other lots such as Paeng, Kergelen, Motokloss or Moonraker0.

@tails2489 It's the Shenzen library a lot made by Dmscopio in 2008 or 2009 only downloadable on it's site at the time (davidluart.com). Unfortunately to my knowledge not added on Simtropolis or SC4D. Maybe one day with the authorization of Dmscopio, a nice contributor will be able to upload all these buildings that we see only in pictures!

Deept did a good job:-) 

Well, then, like other such lots, they will be placed in my "Last Dressing" folder, i.e. the stuff I plop last, when a tile is complete and I don't care anymore about buildings being functional or not ! :bunny:

Now it's my turn... Can anyone show me the right direction to this stadium... Thanks in advance
donkfo.jpg.41bde3a7d805c931968f0a8c7d5e11ec.jpg

Also I'm wondering if anybody has DMScopio's University Pack vol. 1 and vol. 2: http://dmscopio.blogspot.com/2007/06/update-university-pack.html
It was released one point at least on his blog, but those links are dead for almost a decade. So it would be good to bring them to the STEX I guess as legacy contents.

That is, in fact, a part of the Maxis air force base. It's a prop, and I don't know if anyone has made it available as a standalone lot.

@kschmidt DMScopio's Simlypic series (football, swimming arena etc... 4 lots altogether) is available on SimCity china. But if the Admins ( @Cyclone Boom, @CorinaMarie etc...) are on the same oppinion and give permission to me (or anybody) to bring those files here, I can upload that set onto STEX I downloaded them before I lost my account on SimCity china. There are a lot of stuffs which is available on SimCity china, but recently they changed their policy and you can NOT register to there without an invitation code. I had an account, but lost my password and even if I was trying to recover it, the email with the reset information never came through to my email account, so it seems that I can't go back to SimCity china anymore.

Since they were active here and always wanted to share said files (but could not due to file size limits at the time), permission is granted as per the PM with CB and me. For the ones you upload on their behalf you can change the author's name with your secret STEX powers. For anyone else who uploads on their behalf, please contact @Tyberius06 to let him know and he can then change over the author (as well as give any tips on writing the description if needed).

SimCity China, yes that was mentioned some time ago. ! Your problems, retrieving access I encountered are the same I experienced with some first register allready security warnings about certifates etc. Some may have the opinion like this sites host the files and is accesible for anyone one even western world gamers, I fully have to admit this is certainly no wayclose to one of those, with some help non registrable east european -rustian and japanes sites are as far as usability reaches. Any efforts beyond this boundery are just about useless, SimCity China int this case is a bridge to far !

Sincerely yours,

kschmidt

I left it in the Rewards menu, but toned down some of the properties, removed the radiation, made it non-conditional, and non-unique so you can plop as many as you want. I left the business deal income in place. (The file name is as generated by PIM-X.)

Well, I made a lot with it, many years ago, maybe 2003, and I uploaded it somewhere (can't remember where) I uploaded more than 1500 Nexis Lots onto 7 sites at the time. Maybe it was ST, but probably got lost with the Big Crash many years ago (like so many of my Nexis files). Lucky I have a copy of all my files on CD's......So, here is the picture through LE and the file to download link.

Unzip it and put the Nexis folder into Pluginsfolder. It will show up in the Parks section. It is a simple 2x2 park, with Maxis props and descs. At the time (since I was the first LOTter for SC4, I didn't know how to tweak the desc file separately) But it is a Nexis Lot, one of the first ever, Quality, simple and NO dependencies as all Nexis Creations. It is not a simple empty lot with one prop, it looks good. (didn't have the time to show an ingame pic though).

If you have any problems, let me know, I haven't tested it lately.

 

Have Fun with Nexis...

Thanks so much! I was actually making a city using DMscopio Shenzhen landmarks when I stumbled upon this image and thought it would be a good fit in my city. So not a total shock that it ended up being one of his creations. So glad it got uploaded so quick, was not expecting that! Keep 'em coming if you can, thanks again!

You're welcome. I was going to follow up with how we could improve it, but @mrbisonm has provided one already much better so grab that one. *;)
