Paeng's Journey from SC4 to Banished

[catty-cb 4,412]

We are rapidly approaching Paeng's last post on a community forum .... which was over on the "World of Banished" on the 5th of December 2018, he had left the SC4 community back in June 2017 leaving a legacy of 289 SC4 LOTs on the STEX

What most people don't realize he was also very well know over in the Banished world not for creating mods but for being the person the modders could rely on for testing their mods and he went one step further than that .... Paeng when he tested didn't just check something worked he build communities with those mods and in a lot of cases had people looking at the screenshots he posted and going OH WOW THAT'S STUNNING, I have uploaded my collection of Paeng's Banished Pictures to Simtropolis, hopefully that will give people some idea of what Paeng the Banished player was like

So how best to remember him not only for his deep love of SimCity 4 but also his love of Banished, having given this some thought I would like people to come up with their best SC4 picture using as many of Paeng's LOTs on the STEX as possible, post that picture here and in a couple of weeks I'll organize a vote and whoever wins that vote will get a steam version of Banished as a gift.

If you don't want to take part, but do want to post a memory of Paeng that would be great and very welcome as well

I think someone will post a better illustration of Paengs lots (I tend to use them in other parts of my cities), but his sandstone mod and pedmall parks are pretty essential in creating this central mall. Sandstone is a key base for most of my cities and I'd be designing and building in a very different way without it. So I'd be remiss if I didn't post here, his work really makes my cities what they are. While I can't thank him personally, this will be my little tribute to his work.

Apart from the extraordinary level of details, what I mostly enjoyed with @paeng's work is how he could pick simple elements and put them into the most creative ways possible, leading us to a galaxy of unique lots. You would never get bored with his creations

Yes that's what he bought to his banished villages as well, you would look at one of his screenshots and on the face of it just a normal banished village, till you noticed the washing line behind someone's house, or the stuff propped up again a wall or that rose bush planted next to someone front door or the ..... and sometimes he would do one-off's, this one is called "weavers at sunset"

Hopefully we will get a few more entries in before .... looks at calendar and marks off the 17th December as decision time re banished game giveaway, also given Paeng's birthday was on the 25th of December am thinking that if people would prefer to upload a xmas themed .... and given we are heading into Christmas .... any game being played on Simtropolis picture that would be very welcome as well.

Its now Sunday here in New Zealand, and at this stage will be sending a PM to @EastChapel with the gift card details ... and due to work commitments that will be Monday night my time, I do have another gift card available so if anyone still wants to post a picture that would be great
