A Special Christmas Present
Replies:
_Michael: Thanks for that! I did what you said for my mosaics and it worked!
SC4L0ver: There's A LOT more rural scenes coming!
Prophet42: I am on a roll and I still find new ways to make these rural scenes and still find little improvements to better the quality. Anyway, ErnestMaxis created this MMP set which has all sorts- the gazebo is actually an MMP. The set can be found here, but DEPENDENCIES galore! https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=3493
Bluthlucidity: To answer your question I plop in some RCI buildings and grow others. Though nearly all commercial and industrial buildings are plopped, while some of the residential buildings are plopped. Though I'm not sure how to answer your second question- do you want me to make my plugins available to download??? Anyway, thanks for your comment!
buckbeach47: Thank you very much for your comments and for showing me the 3RR Exchange- this entry came about thanks to those circular fields. So thanks!
gunkz32: Cheers! There's a lot more where that came from.
aegian: To answer your question- no. But there are several SC4 Gods who produce scenes like this but with a very different style- Korver, Huston, SimCoug, Paeng, Fasan, Vortext, etc. A few times you will see people make the Google Maps comment for the bunch I mentioned!
Entry 12: A Special Christmas Present!!!
Note: this entry is dedicated to buckbeach47 for showing me the 3RR Exchange and these amazing circular irrigation fields.
It's Christmas Day and since I now have a two-week Christmas Holiday (one of the perks of being a teacher) I have some time to finish off Pololomia and the surrounding rural areas.
In this entry I show you the latest areas I have been working on and there are some goodies- including two MEGA-Mosaics.
1.
To immediately answer your question about the circular fields, they can be found on the 3RR Exchange on SC4D. (Link here- https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=5603.0)
2.
This circular field comes on a 24x24 lot, the outsides have this dirt texture which can be MMPed over.
3.
4.
There is also a smaller 12x12 version.
5.
6.
Here I go full-on 100% MMP saturation.
7.
8.
9.
I have redone the area around the petrol station; small buildings by the intersection.
10.
As a new feature I now add a small dirt perimeter around my MMP fields. It makes them a little messier but in a good way I think.
11.
Beyond Pololomia are a series of small villages close to the outskirts.
12.
In the last two years I have become more and more interested in creating smaller scenes, rural scenes, village scenes...
13.
Big skyscrapers and all that jazz now bores me.
14.
I am much more interested in rural/urban transitions, villages and of course mid-rise scenes (such as the city centre in Pololomia).
15.
The idea behind this field is that it has been heavily used by farm animals- the grass has been completely devoured in places but the farmer keeps on using it for convenience.
16.
The same field but nearly all of the grass is intact.
17.
And here is my attempt at minimal MMP saturation- which is surprising hard to get right! Moderate MMP saturation is even harder because there can never be enough MMPs...
18.
This picture shows part of two dedicated animal herding routes- the ones that are all dirty, dusty and brown. I would say this is moderate MMP saturation.
19.
MEGA-Mosaic 1. All of my time and effort goes towards creating realistic rural/urban transitions.
20.
MEGA-Mosaic 2. If you ever wonder why I take so long to finish my cities it's only because I want to show you scenes like this!
21.
Anyway, next week I will show you some more updates. But right now I am loving the rural areas I'm creating; I would say I love creating rural areas more than creating industrial areas.
Enjoy this entry and enjoy the Christmas Holidays!
