Thank you very much for your help. This is what I was looking for.

I was wondering if anyone yet has created a shiplock for gamewater? Or anything similar like a gate for a channel etc?

Thanks

Hi Fred!

Specifically just for the game water, I don't think so, but it's a great idea. There are some canal locks which can be used between game water and a dedicated/supported canal type: like oppie, PEG, Simgoober canals, CAL SG remastered canals etc

BSC Brick Canal Set Add-on - Locks

CAL Goobers Canals 2007 Extras 1 BSC

But I think you already know about these ones anyway.

THAT's definitely something we need !!

It would surprise a lot of people if they became aware of just how many harbors and waterways are connected to the sea by a system of locks (not to mention the Panama and Suez Canals).

They would, of course, have to be approximately 3X14 (or wider) to accommodate big ship traffic.

Using Maxis Water -- it could be accomplished by a land lot on each side of the ship channel -- including the walls of the lock, concrete working space alongside, and some control and office structures.  At each end of the channel lock, you would have to have gates -- perhaps one set closed and one set open -- and the closed gates could be rendered as an overhanging prop.

Since there is no "bottom" to the channel lock, this should be fairly easy for a competent "batter" -- no fancy optical tricks required.

By making the set "modular", you could make the channel locks as long as you like -- and with a bit of "fudging" you could plop a gate lot on each side and thereby double the width.

If I could "bat" -- I'd have a picnic on this one!

Thanks Tyberius, I already know of these and some I found during my search for locks, but I really want to have the real water/ ingame locks or gates.

Yes we do need those ingame water accessoriues, absolutely.

Thanks Dreadnought

Below is a picture of my channel addition in a Gigantic region that I have been playing on for 7 years with 4 Large cities, many towns and almost a hundred villages. I want to have everything that exists on this map, nothing less than everything, from a simple trail through a park to a Highway system that blows the mind, and every custom thing that simcity4 fans have ever made. 14.5 Gbs of Plugins and 4 additional ones with 2 to 4 Gb's each, on top a Plugin of more than a thousand Nexis Lots and Bats, hundreds never seen before. Details that contains thousands of gameplay, modding and BATting hours.....and I now need a Lock or Gate, as shown on the bottom right map, or at least even something that could look like it.......I'm surprised that no one has thought if this before. All we see now is buidlings and more buildings being uploaded (most of them are  very nice and I appreciate them a lot,) but we need new and original things.........If I don't find anything that I will make one, but it will take a lot of time, being only an amateur in BAting.

Everything I create on this map is the closest to reality that I could find, and most of it is grown and NOT plopped.

I will keep on searching and asking.

If you want to help me find this or other things for my project, come and visit me at my Channelthread.

Thanks all

Fred

@mrbisonm

Yo, guy --

Love your map -- I can tell just by looking that you have lavished much time and energy on this project.  And I can honestly say that it is, indeed, IMPRESSIVE !!

My concept of the locks / ship channel is based on the fact that I couldn't "Bat" my way out of a paper bag -- no skills there, whatsoever!! 

But it has made me more creative in using "re-lotting" tricks and techniques.  I also rigidly adhere to Maxis water -- which precludes me using most of the locks that have been made.  If someone had ever made a lock system using "props" rather than a solid "baked" building -- I could disassemble the thing and make a magnificent channel system out of it !!  And I live in the hope that someone will construct a beautifully detailed lock / channel system based on my simple, flexible, modular concept.

There are so many wondrous things that we could create -- if someone would just give us the puzzle pieces to work with !

Good Luck in your quest --

[Linus van Pelt 293]

Yeah, there are many water related structures missing: dams, flood barriers, sluice (stuff most people doesn't know exist  ). It's difficult to bat them, because you need a good looking connection to the ground and water, the LOD has to fit the BAT very tight. That usually means the Lock, Dam or whatever fits only in a specific set up. 

A while ago a started a dam and I never finished it because it got to frustrating. It isn't even a complex one that looks somewhat realistic for its size. 

Sure a dam is particularly hard considering the curvature most dams have (but this one is missing) and their size (this one is maybe a mid-sized dam).

And you can easily build a town without a lock but not without buildings and to get variety you need a lot of them. 

Regarding locks, I will definitely bat one soon (or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). But I will do it for my need which probably means it doesn't fit to your specific situation (like a mentioned above the other problem).

I am a BaTter myself, Nexis are my BATs and LOTs. I just finished my MFP1 (Modern Farm Poject) Props, which took me 6 or 7 years and are over 1000  models. I will not start again BATting, now I've seen and done enough and I know myself, if I start, I will do more and more again.....so....If you make one, I'm pretty sure I will find a use for it (*selbst wenn's fuer dich gebaut ist). As long as it is for gamewater.   Nice dam btw, you should finish it!

Uebrigens, ich bin von Aachen, schon 50 Jahre hier in Canada. Gruess mir Deutschland. Elbflorenz ist doch bei Dresden, oder?

Looking for some good looking smaller and interesting railway stations that I could use in villages, small towns and countrysides, both modern or old-style types.

Thanks

Dear mrbisonm, I'm sure that our Holmes will be able to give excellent answers for this, But I just want to tell you that it's quite a coincidence that i just was making a series of rural depot, here below is one of them, I planed to make 10 and was busy with the third now. and it's my pleasure if could make one which you'd prefer.

This one is already just fine andf if you could make one like this in a greenolive color, same style or model, that would be even better. I will wait patiently for your set of 10.

There's a station called Tenjinbashi Station at this homepage that might be of interest to you: http://tsushinikai.com/simcity4/

@mrbisonm The German SimCityKurier has a few stations that might be of interest to you. Especially the Ahrweiler Station is something I really use often. The page is in German, but it is organized pretty well, there are screenshots, you don't need to be registered, and the Download button should be pretty easy to find as well; you should sooner or later find something useful. http://www.simcityplaza.de/index.php/verkehr/eisenbahn

There are also a few rural passenger stations available on the PLEX section of the STEX. https://community.simtropolis.com/files/category/32-plex-main-files/

Yes, thank you, a lot of useful things in these links. Peg made a lot of great stuff, unfortunately I don't use them because of the many interferences with my other stuff. I have had a lot of crashes, jams and citylosses because of this, so many that I once I found out that his lots and mods caused these problems, I entirely stopped using all of his mods and never had a crash since. But the SimCity Kurier download site will be surely useful. Btw I have no problem with the german language since I am German,

Thnka again, much appreciated.

Hi!

I have an unreleased relot set with El-Rail terminuses based on APTX's work, also I have some other stuffs in mind, but currently there isn't too many terminuses for that network. Mainly that's why I started to create the GLR terminus set too. 

You can find those original buildings on this site: http://hide-inoki.com/bbs/archives/sc4_0886.html
- TKKSakuragicho
- ShibuyaEast and ShibuyaWest, but it also can be found on STEX
- type02-ver1.2
- terminalstation (toyoko) - on the second page

My versions will be more customized with more props etc, but this is how I like.

Also ML/MoonLignt has some El-Rail station, I don't know if there is terminal among them. 

Or Tadasu's terminal:

http://tsushinikai.com/simcity4/

I probably will relot these eventually.

Hi All!

I'm after some rural style power lines but I can't seem to locate any other than:

 

These are not far off what I'm looking for. In the UK these type of power lines are used throughout the country side as well as in towns and city suburbs and they are made from wood. Only issue I have with the above is that they can only be put on flat ground. Does anyone else have any ideas or know where I can find what I'm looking for?

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times! Sorry.

Another thought......

Are there any lots specific for logging? I'm thinking more like the ones found in Scotland where areas will be fenced off and planted with pine, fir or whatever. They are grown in rows and often large enough to accommodate walks, bike tracks, horse hacking, etc. There will also be logging tracks which the heavy equipment will use in order to cut down and remove the logs.

Do such lots exist or is it a case of combining a number of things to create my own?

Any help most appreciated! 

Thanks!

The most famous logging set that I know is this one: 

Of course you can edit them to look like what you have in mind, but I think that they already are useful, it's a very good content.

I don't know if I understood correctly what is supplement, but if you're asking for diagonal buildings, you can search the work of Glenni, Krio, Mattb325 (more modern-look than the others) and others BATters here in the STEX. If you search for "diagonal" you will already find some buildings.

@MattSB77  HI, I think that if you type LOGGIN in the search bar at the top, you'll find what you're looking for !
