I'm glad you asked as I have an interest too.

 

While I'm waiting too, I followed the WMP Boardwalk entry so I'll get beeped when it's updated.

The process has been started. The Boardwalk props have been merged into the WMP MegaProps vol. 1. I think in the next 2 days I can reach those to update them. Currently I updated 3 of previous WMP uploads, since they still provide single prop packs, which were intentionally NOT included any of the mega packs. The ped bridges, the tunnels and just now the rowing club already got their updates (also these are the first 3 rehosted WMP contents on LEX). 
Probably the Monorail will be the next one, then the Causeway set (which mainly contains prop from Murimk made for Doc), then the RFY Viaducts. With these all the prop sets for the  WMP and RFY collection will be covered. 
After these 3, I update the boardwalks. 

Then probably I take a little break and fix my own stuffs, I need to update most of my readmes due to the WMP prop set changes, also take a deeper look into the Heretic Seaport set and fix some previously mentioned issues. If I manage to get through on the Seaport set relatively quickly, then I update the Polska megapack and bring some of the already organized polska files during July. Then I continue the WMP Restoration project. I would say, this will happen maybe at the begining of August...

Of course if RL s...t into my face, this whole timing will go into the bin...

I have two lots (and some more) that have missing props, but I can't seem to find them in my 15 GB Plugins folder to find out their name and to make a search for the props. Besides no name when you click on them. Does anyone recognize these lots? Know the creator. the sets or the lots or even the missing props?

Thanks

Hi Fred!

I don't know about the cemetary, but I know the second one!

I checked it with Reader, these are those houses.

Thanks Tyberius, these are the houses indeed, but all I needed is not the Spam Vol03, but one of its dependencies, the :

Murimk Farm Addons for SPAM Vol02: Farmhouses

 

Thanks for leading me there.

Yap, that seems to be the one....only one problem, there are no links for the depends on that page, just names, and those, I cannot come up with searching for them on ST or SD4 (which have the worst search ability of all the sites I know and always come up with nothing/or no results). But anyways, I used Google to get to the right site. Now that I have ALL the depends I hope it will be ok. Geeeez, almost 2 hrs just for the cemetary.....Badly done system.

Thank you gwada, your help is greatly appreciated!

@mrbisonm  don't forget to click on the LEX Dependency Tracker as all the links are noted there. You would save time searching.

Have a nice day

@mrbisonm, You spelling CEMETARY was wrong! The correct was CEMETERY.    I also find it with invalid spelling.... LOL

Yo, guys --

My tired old memory seems to remember Paeng making some "ORTHO" grunge concrete 1x1 filler lots.  I remember them being a slightly lighter color and texture with somewhat worn and rounded edges, and weeds growing around the edges.

I already have the industrial ones that were made to fill in on diagonal spaces around tracks and roads.

If my memory is not playing tricks on me, could someone point me to them ?

Hm... I don't recall the diagonal one, but the ortho seems to be in this:

@Tyberius06

BINGO !! That's the one !!  Thank you much, Sir. 

BTW -- I found out you can't simply copy a seaport and retain the functionality.  As you pointed out, the exemplars would have to be altered.  BUT -- !!  I found an easy work-around to get the project done. (Still a WIP.)  Thanks, again, for your assistance on that.

 

@hugues aroux

YES.  "Nightowl" is the set I already had -- but thanx for the effort.  ALL assistance is gratefully accepted.

Hi Fred!

That one is part of the Japanese River Project (JRP) and can be downloaded from LEX.

JRP-Core Lot Pack
JRP-Addon Lot Pack 01
JRP-Addon Lot Pack 02 - This pack contains those dam lots on the image.

Don't forget to check the dependency tracker, but in general you need the JRP-PROP Packs (vol.1-5) and the MAS71 Prop Pack vol. 3 from LEX.

- Tyberius

[Dreadnought 8,231]

@mrbisonm

I should caution you that the JRP River Project is difficult to work with by comparison to other seawalls / dams.  I seem to remember rejecting it for use in my naval base tile because it is totally incompatible with Maxis water.  And the pieces must be plopped at a certain height (15 meters ??), otherwise they look ridiculous.

The good news -- if your going to use "plop water" behind it, you might be able to blend the "spillway" into Maxis water on the other side.

Other than that -- these lots are beautiful -- and it pained me that I could not use them on the inside of my naval base project (Maxis water).

[Belfastsocrates 1,753]

Anyone aware of anything like the below images? 

I'm looking for light-industrial style office units. I can't recall if anything exists. It's a style of building that exists in most business parks and suited to niche or startup companies. I'm planning to put together a business park lot incorporating 'converted' brick mill buildings.

That's part of the JB Simio's University of Clayhurst over at SC4Devotion. It comes with various campus quadrangle lots, and the texture of the footpaths can be adjusted with one of the dependencies.

I know, I plan to reuse these props in some of my projects. I wish to have the time to go through on the downloaded files what I have and at least take a look onto them, what I have.

Probably a long shot, but does anyone know of any BATs that would serve well as 19th century American exposition halls/indoor arenas? I'm specifically looking for buildings that have more of a "Chicago" feel to them, so I'm trying to avoid anything that looks overly prestigious or European (none of Porkissimo's BATs, for example).

 

Some close-but-no-cigar BATs...

Chicago Grand Central Terminal (Mattb325)  - The L-shaped section is a perfect facade, and if it wrapped around to create a rectangular shape, this would be ideal.)

 

Coopers Hall (Mattb325) - The facade's a little more European than I'd like, and the building's on the smaller size, but it's close to perfect in terms of overall shaping. Might do in a pinch, but I've got this model pegged for other uses, unfortunately.

 

University of Clayhurst Field House (JBSimio) - Close to perfect. Unfortunately, this model has never been released.

 

On a related note, if anyone knows where I can find a prop for an ol' timey grandstand or set of bleachers (i.e., ones made out of wood), I would be very grateful. And if anyone ever makes a high-quality BAT of a turn-of-the-century baseball stadium... well, name your price.

 

(In case it helps, I'm specifically looking for buildings that would serve as a suitable late 19th century replacement for the Minor League Stadium. A ballpark would be ideal, but failing that, some kind of Civic Arena would be great. I've got Mattb325's Cooper's Hall marked down as a replacement for the Convention Center.)

The University of Clayhurst Starter Pack only requires Volume 3.

Volume 4 is only required for the expansion pack, and it will be installed with all of the other required files if you use the expansion pack installer, which can be downloaded here: https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=3303

If you need the other volumes, they can be downloaded at the following links.

Can anyone provide a list of any lots that use the Food4Less grocery store by joerg? Like where it's used in a custom shopping center lot.

I've got an interesting issue where I get a long list of lots in my landmark menu that are all titled "Food4Less", and I think it has something to do with that file.

[mrbisonm 1,622]

Looking for some sort of "slopemod", I found some that I tried, no good for my region. Enni mod does all this on the pics below which I don't like at all, not realistic to build a road uphill and then it digs out first and don't come up anymore for dozens of tiles, or when it come to the top, it even goes higher to bump up......what? Who builds like this? Well, not my Sims for sure.

So before trying all that I found I am asking the experts here which is the slopemod that only does half the job or less of what we see on the pics below, something realistic and not exagerated. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to load my citytile, that's why I don't really feel like trying them all. Thanks for relieving my stressy pain with this.

Fred

[hugues aroux 3,867]

Hello Fred, personally I use JRJ slopeMod. There is not that bump-up effect that you describe. Drawing a road or a railway track does not produce the same slope effect. I use the rails a lot to generate the gentle slope I want and then replace it with the street or the road. Otherwise, you should make a plugins folder with the bare minimum and a test region (is what I do because I hate waiting for the game to launch .. I sympathize) to be able to do these tests, and then implant in your "game" directory the tested plugin. you save time and less stress.  Regards
