Entry 60 -- Plants and Rocks

Vigilante1987: Thanks for that! Recreating fractionally angled areas is a nightmare! But Madison Square Garden was done justice- I found the BATs and I drew out the layout to get it right!
nycsc4: That large building is one of Seraf's NYC buildings- NYBT Hotel Pennsylvania. One of his best!
Prophet42: Thank you- Manhattan looks predominantly art deco with modern architecture (post 1940s) creeping in. I know how to capture that in cities so it was fun sprinkling the newer buildings with all that art deco available on the STEX!
PaPa-J: Thanks! The whole point was to create a smaller scale New York, kind of like GTA IV!
metarvo: Often it's about combining filler sets together: in this case JENX's paris river walls with SFBT's highway fillers.
mrsmartman: Cheers! I even drew a rough map sketching out the position of the Manhattan landmarks and their distance to each other, I also went over several different pictures showing the transition between Lower Manhattan and Midtown Manhattan- all to help me out.

Entry 60 -- Plants and Rocks
It's a small entry but another update on Cindersville. I've found some useful MMP combinations for scree slopes, boulder fields and undergrowth for coniferous forests. Enjoy!

1.
It's been about three months since I last truly played SimCity 4. I came back to after having worked out some MMP combinations to spruce up the undergrowth of the coniferous forest, add ferns and create scree slopes, boulder fields and rocky debris.
2.
All of this to liven up the landscape and provide some sorely added details to the blank terrain.
3.
Expect to see more of these rocky mountain paths!
4.
Sometimes its best to let the terrain textures do all the talking- while sprucing up the forest's undergrowth.
5.
Another look at that rocky path.
6.
A village close to the areas we have been looking at.
7.
And the whole thing in perspective.
