Hello everyone,

I've been thinking for a while now about creating a thread where I could present ideas, projects, etc. Well, here it is.

Any suggestions, comments, questions, criticism, etc. from you are welcome.

Let's begin.

I am currently working on a farm pack. I will present its progress when there is something to show.

Today, I would like to present a project to you, if you think it is worth pursuing, for fillers for the SAM3 and SAM 4 curves.

Here is a sketch. (Unfortunately, Timed Prop only allows me two seasons.)

for fillers

Excellent idea! And with great staging! More, more...

Some news regarding the SAM3 & SAM4 rural curve fillers-

Initial idea

A single lot 1x1 with a Prop Family (3 variations of decor) for each type of curve.

Advantages:  Easy to plop in the game, takes up minimal space in the menu and if the player wishes, it works with all street or road textures.

Disadvantages: Very poor prop graphics quality due to the reduction in the size of the FSH (Flora AGC, Giraffe, VIP, etc.), loss of colors when saving the final image.

Options: Use collections that have FSHs that do not require scaling (CP, Gascooker, LBT, etc.).

 

Alternative 1

lot TE 3x2

Advantages: Original graphic quality of the prop, therefore the best that exists.

Disadvantages: A little more complicated to plop in the game, takes up more space in the menu (one lot for each variation of decor and street texture).

My lack of knowledge about TE means I can't judge whether it's a good idea to use it in this case.

However, I believe that the transit values for the lot should be set to the highest transit values in the NAM for that lot to be accessible to all types of players.

 

Alternative 2

Abandon the idea of this project.

 

Any advice on how to proceed is welcome.

After talking with @hugues aroux, a solution to my dilemma was found... Make a T21.

The five final T21 designs for the 45-degree curves. The first design for the 90-degree curve. And the drafts for the S-curves. I may have gotten a little carried away with the latter.
