Lagos (Preview)

For our next destination, we're taking a trip to Lagos - one of the world's largest cities. We'll be taking a look at some of the city's most crowded markets, iconic landmarks, and even a glimpse into the future to see new developments on the city's Atlantic shoreline. It's one of my most ambitious custom lotting projects yet, and the full update is just about done - but in the meantime, here's a little preview of what's to come *:)

 

Lagos is home to some of the world's most crowded streets - and it gets especially busy near its famous Idumota Market, where you could be stuck in traffic for hours behind countless yellow Danfos buses.

Striking, as usual. *:thumb: (I experience some cognitive dissonance here as our school buses look exactly like your Danfos buses ! [Maybe that's where they go to die when they're finished here...] So it looks like a driving demonstration by disgruntled school bus drivers ! *:ohyes: )

That's one hell of a traffic jam!! In fact, Lagos looks like an utter traffic gridlock surrounded by buildings according to this pictures *:D

Can't wait for your next updates :ohyes:

@Simmer2 Thanks for the comment! *:)

@AsimPika3172 Thank you very much *:thumb:

@mike_oxlong Thank you very much for the nice words! *:thumb:

@tonyr Thank you very much! *:)

@Angry Mozart Thank you!

@tariely Thank you for the comment! I'm not sure what specific model those Molue buses are (the slightly larger ones in that scene you're refering to) - but it could be a possibility *:lol:

@_Michael Just a little bit *;) And there will be even more traffic to come *:D

@Androgeos Thanks for the comment *:thumb: I've been doing a mix of functional city scenes and lot editor (static prop) city scenes recently - but for this update it's all made up of individual props, primarily from Lot Editor work but also some MMPs thrown in as well.

@SC4L0ver Thanks for the the comment! When I first saw some pics of Lagos I couldn't believe how crowded it was, but I just knew had to recreate that chaos in SC4! Glad you enjoyed it.
