At some point yes. Im learning fast on the bat. What kind are you looking for. Thanks ill look at. Im trying to understand the iid thing. I was guessing at it... Lol...

Looking back from where I came from I would like to give some recondition to some BSC Team members who were a great help to me in the past and I feel that I never really gave them the earned recondition they deserve. @BarbyW who helped me in so many ways from creating templets to advice ect & @Grandpa Al who was also a great help to me. and many more of the BSC Team. And as a side note even though I set out to prove someone wrong who told me not one person by themselves could do it all well you were right. In the end I feel I lost on that. @rsc204 who has been a tremendous help to me in regards to not only advice and instruction but has gone as far as fixing my mess ups. I am very thankful. as well as putting together a list of IIDs for me to use, and @Vortex who has also given lots of advice.(for some reason i cant tag you) @CorinaMarie who has in herself been a great help to me with her advice and searches and much more. With out all of you guys I would not have gotton this far, I honestly did not see just how much help the BSC Team was to me back in the day and I also feel that it is vitally important to give credit where credit is due and though this is a little late for some of the prev BSC Team members I am glad to be here now and give you guys credit for all your hard work, patience, and help... Thank you so much,,,, for new peeps I can't stress enough take your time with your creations read read read so vitally important, and I also can't stress enough how vitally important to give credit where credit is due Whether it be just getting help or using someone else's custom content its so important. Don't rush because your liable to make mistakes...

the tutorial on making a farm lot

I have gotten a hold of 2 tutorials thanks to @catty-cb for the link to the Custom UI tutorial. (also thank you for the IID's for the field lots.. yes I believe it good for 20 Field lots. plenty for the time being)... and I found one on how to make a farm Field lot,...(Blank one ) I looked because I noticed that in LE you while you can select any of the Farm Fields to edit you can not do a save as... Only save. I did not want a conflict with the Maxis Farm Fields. I did re downloaded the original JBM_Little House Farm I did years ago and now that I know what was wrong with the original farm I may be able to fix it now. The model file is there it was missing the SC4disc file. The one I apparently put in the folder was for the residential lot I had done instead of the farm one. ... I also need to repair two custom UI files for two lots one being the rabbit farm while it does display the custom UI information ie story line and other info it however does not display the correct .Png picture instead it shows a purple box displaying the information and looks like something else missing as well. .I am hoping that I can get it fixed soon on lots effected. I went through some of the work I have done presently and in the past and trying to understand the info there. I just want all aspects of my lots to work like they were intended to work. For those who are wondering yes my Lots should work with the CAM Mod. They are also or were all BTE enhanced I found this out taking a closer look at a couple of farms. I will be working from the top down again fixing the lots and getting a proper Description as well. I think I can or at least I hope I can use the SC4tools application to grab the information. I am not sure if this is what is being used now. I also found that some of pegs stuff is still here on the STEX found that link last night. I may be able to find the Trees for the Tree farm for all the Farm Fields I had for the original Farm. I am pretty sure they are his. @CorinaMarie , @T Wrecks ran into a small snag with your soybean lot(s)... The grain silo will have to be redone as I can not find a work around to fix the original model even merging it into a new scene is not working. The shadow issue is a real puzzle to me. Also I have some kind of conflict with the two field lots and or the disc file(s)... will prob be another week till I get that one done. So in the meantime peeps... I will finish getting the smaller props done for the lots I am working on... also The Gmax Tutorial of mine is on hold for a couple of weeks while I try to sort everything out. I have def learned there is a lot more that goes into Lot creation than just placing props. I have taken a look over on the LEX for the standards of Lots and I am following along with that as since my return here I am more interested in not only cleaner looking lots and less cluttered one but I am also looking for quality not quantity which in the past I butted heads with many due to the reason was back then I was more geared at quantity rather than quality, I guess I grew up some. NOTE: The Mars Mod. I found my Models for the updated Residential props I did I will be adding them to the prop pack for Mars props as well as the water tanks. The lots done here will be redone using the newer model files. My initial plan for the model files was that they were stand alone models meaning nothing else was needed I may be changing that up. I found the model files in the Mars Mod. I must have not uploaded the newer models. The newer models removes the extra block that was not needed on the upper levels. The ones on the STEX still has them.

Thank you.

I am looking for a tutorial on how to make custom Querry UI's. Years ago BSC made me a set to use however the name used on them I no longer need. The .png files I would like to update to reflect the pen name I use now. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have also noticed a second exemplar file with in both field lot and the farms I am assuming that these are the BTE enhanced files so I am wondering for new lots do I just copy these files to the new field and farms. Mikes tree farm I am fixing the custom UI file. It seems the .png file is missing in the new version. Also I found out what was wrong with the original farm (JBM_Little House ) Farm it seems years ago in my haste to upload new farms I copied the wrong .dsc file. So that farm never worked after it was uploaded. My apologies. Ive been taking a closer look at my old files holding myself to a higher standard of uploads.

Querry: A very long time ago BSC Team made me some custom UI files. I have found them on my HD... Looking at the UI PNG files I find that the info and pictures are not what I will be using this time around. So If anyone can direct me to a tutorial on how to create custom UI's for LOTs please show me....

Ok @CorinaMarie I am re-rendering the soybean prop as close to the edge as I dare. Compensating for the LOD boxes. @T Wrecks It would seem something else went wrong with the large grain silos. When I tried to render them I had to do so by lowering it way below the Z line now it seems something is wrong with the lighting and or camera settings and I cant seem to fix it. It does not bring up a box for it. And I cant remember how.

Cattyb gave me a set of IID's for the field lots. I hope i get these right,,,lol... and thanks for the help again on the texture IID's...

Ill see if I can get a pic forcya later.

Ok I have one more question. For the field lots do I need to get an iid set for those as well. Just want to make sure I do things right. I thought I saw somewhere that we needed one.

well the texture i was using is to bright but the model is in gmax and im not sure how to make it right... trying to get the stems to attatch right and the little leaves.. ill try to get you a pic later.. @CorinaMarie here is the rendered soy plants.... maybe im just being a perfectionist.... i decided to use the lot field for your version of the field. but here is the prop. not sure if it looks right but you prop would know more... Im kinda stuck with the model file.. let me know your thoughts... this is just the rough draft of both the field and the soy prop... finished chicken coop main prop... now you can actually see inside the chicken coop and it actually has a door as well... so now the little chick chick chicks can get in and out... only wish i knew how to make animals i would make a chicken... lol so I have put together two different lots for the chicken farm ill post them tomorrow....

Got a first draft of The soybean crop done today. Not sure if I am happy with it. Turning out to be a bit harder than I thought it was going to be.

We are all missing you. We hope that your recovery is going well. I hope at some time you are able to return. A toast to your good health...i'll help Raynev1 clean up. The auto system is working great but doesn't clean.

Prop pack KCP prop pack 1 has been uploaded. Water storage tanks have also been uploaded. The soybean farm is the next one to be uploaded ETA next week.

lol duke

Love Creating stuff for SC4

An update to the mars prop pack will be uploaded soon as I have found one or two more props that were not released. One of the props however is not the best but illI'll add it in case anyone wants to use it. The water storage tank lot is working and does have night lighting. That lot will be uploaded tonight as well. KCP is dedicated in providing quality props and lots Therefore the re-release of my prev lots will be a bit slower. Old building are being remade to reflect a higher quality of work. All of the Xrax homes will be remade as I have found flaws that were prev overlooked. The new prop pack will be updated as time goes on to reflect the new props at a higher quality of work.

Today I have been working on the chicken coop. I finally have the main part of the building done and textured. Ill be rendering it soon. Since my pc is being a pain I am rendering the yard and fences pieces separately. The whole set will fit in one tile or at least that's my intention. Later today I will be releasing my first KC productions prop pack will include Grain silo Grain silo 2 Chicken coop Field lot Hay bail Hay bail stack The grain silo name may be different. Ill be re rendering the second one to include the KCP on the front. Look for it later tonight.
