A tour of two of the 6 small towns i am currently working with on my Island region. First up, "New Provincetown"! A town i am trying (poorly) to model on one of my favorite small towns, the original 'Provincetown' in Massachusetts. Here we can see the over view of it, the train connecting it to the rest of the island, and it's historic pier, all thanks to PEG :3 Next we have a shot of the historic Indoor Market place, built in the early 1910's. The park area next to it converts into a bustling farmers market on the weekend for locals to sale produce and other items :3 Just outside of town along the train track, There is the Old Radio Hall, home to the "Coastal Home Companion" Radio show! The old 'Jack Kirby''s General store' next to it dates back to the early days when the town was just a logging camp. Just down the beach, the second small town "Port Arcadia" also dates back to the 1910 and started as a fishing town canning and processing the seafood around the island. Much of the old wharf is geared for tourists these days, and the town hosts yearly sailboat races.

He downloaded a Bat of GIZMONIC INSTITUTE An awesome school with a red jump suite It did a great job as a learning place... But then one day his game crashed and it got lost and erased!

Crossroads Inc. replied to Tropod's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion
Heeeyyyy browski... so.... Been experimenter with this the last few days and.. specifically on a new city i am planning out.. I wanted to do a test run, I filled in huge parts of my test city with medium residential, and some smatterings of High density res and commercial... and last night i tried out the command: Growify <Residential> <medium> [make historical] And.... Well, it didn't seem to do anything... at first... but... I watched the residential slowly fill in, and, it DID seem it wasn't making any "merged" lots. they were all 1x2 or 1x3 lots... but... what i realized is.. it wasn't actually making Medium housing.. it was ONLY making 'houses' nothing more dense than single houses... The while city was just, houses... there was, 'occasionally' one or two apartment blocks... but.. no big long rows of row houses or similar... so...... have you encountered this? and... if you have... do you know how to turn it off? -

AHOY! Thank you for the response! I have used "checkerbor3ed" pattrens for making houses line up in smaller towns, where i want blocks of individual houses. "Row houses" i notice only seem to 'grow' in numbers if the zones are next to each other... if i try and make the checker bored patterns... often i end up with a dozen different row house types, instead of a uniform row of buildings... in terms of 'Plopping' As far as i know, residential plops don't...work...unless there is a different plop addon? I hve an old one that makes EVERY maxis building in the game plopabable. Commercial and Industrial both work in terms of having jobs people goto... but any house i plop down doesn't add population to the city... -

I'd been looking at that for a while trying to deiced about putting it in. It is quite an, elaborate mod in terms of what it covers. WIsh there was a simple plugin that disabled that. It's funny, it feels like one of those things that Tons of people would have encountered and wanted to deal with.. I'll read more about yours and look into installing it later today. -

AHOY ALL! A humble request... and I am like, 90% certain i remember seeing this years ago...but... a Mod that Disables residential lots from "joining" together. IE... If I zone a big long strip of 1x2 lots... each one makes a single house, instead of merging together into a bunch of 2x4 mansion lots. Or medium zones merging into HUGE apartments, when all I want is a long strip of 1x2 row houses... Anyone remember a plugin like that>? -
Showing off some of the different 'districts' for my new planned city :3 First, what ever good mid sized city needs, a respectable Fair Grounds! Complete with Concert Grounds, Farmers market, and of course extra road side stands for hawking knock knacks :3 Next is Crossroads University! With a collection of my favorite Big Education lots, Library's, Museums, Dorm rooms, and excellent old world buildings! And then we have the Crossroads Convention center district! With plenty of hotels for con goers and plenty of transportation to and from!

Requesting to Hire a Model Maker? [BIG PICTURES]
Crossroads Inc. posted a topic in SC4 - Custom Content
AHOY EVERYONE! so.. I am not fully sure this is the right area? Or, if this is a thing still done? I know there are a few model makers kicking around these days and.. Well.. I am hoping I am getting back into the game at a point where there's a few who might be willing to make a custom Office tower for me? Honestly, this was something i wanted to make, and kind of HAVE made in different versions over the years since the early 2000's... Now, I know my Art-Deco.. and. I'll just say, I designed this thing when.. I was like 16 or so? (I mean original sketches, it has evolved a lot over time) You'll notice it is 'Somewhat' similar to the Chrysler building, but, fully symmetrical in terms of the base and how the steps go around the central tower. I actually made a version of this in the SimCity 3000 model maker... but... I don't know that there was a way of importing it into SC4. In any case... I know people are busy these days, msot of us are grown up with kids and such... But.. If someone out there wants to give it a go, I am ok with compensating for time and such. In any case, here is a little something I call.. "The Crossroads Central Control Tower!" -

Re-making a new bitmap Help (Region Help 2.0)
Crossroads Inc. posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
AHOY EVERYONE! Yup, its me again... SO, after getting my region back, (thanks again guys!) have spent the last few weeks going through it and, well, considering it was from 2007... Realizing I have come a LONG way as far as how i plan out and design cities... As such, I am feeling a need to start fresh and to remake the region.. Which... is something i did a lot back in the day... Back when I had photoshop to make custom versions of the bitmap needed... I, did read some guides and.. Yeah I think i need some help... I Pulled the link to my region when it was last uploaded So i could get the original greyscale jpg... but to make new City Sizes, i need to make a new bitmap, which... I do not seem able to do :/ So here i am asking for help for, something that is I am sure painfully easy to do -_- A, wanting a bitmap that is able to give me a city make up like below... I wanted to carry over the main city i'd built originally... and then redo the other cities, but in larger spaces vs what i had originally. -

Crossroads Inc. replied to Crossroads Inc.'s topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
IT WORKED! thank you so much! sorry i did not get back to you earlier.. I HAD Picked the correct file earlier.. i realized the part i was missing.... Simply renaming it 'BMP' doesnt actually change the file lol. I had to open up MSPAINT and do a SAVE-AS to actually convert it to a BMP. once there BAM@ jujst what i needed!
