  1. No Ambient Sound??

    plasticsim replied to jabezscratch's topic in Cities XXL Technical Issues

    So, basically, we all have payed full price for a half finished product... This is a disturbing new trend that most game publishers appear to be using these days. Would you go see a movie at the theatres that was missing most of its plot or its sound effects at release, and then having to wait 3 months to see it again, this time in its complete form?

  2. Comparing Simcity and Cities XL

    plasticsim replied to Gregory_C's topic in Cities XXL

    If you turn on the time-machine and travel back to when SC4 was released, people complained just as much. It was originally hailed as the "Worst SimCity game ever made!" But after a few major bug fixes, an expansion and some game enhancements, SC4 became what it is now. EA wanted to turn SCS into the next Sims, but failed miserably. MC appears to be taking a page out of EA's book with CXL but with a slightly different approach (PO). I think they're accepting a huge risk by pushing people to pay for PO to experience a game that should have also been included inside of the box (Um, Hello! Mass Transit!). Sure, make me pay for adding the Ski Resort management GEM, but do not force me to pay for basic game items and features. So far I have found that I really enjoy playing Cities XL. Some areas seem to be just right, some are missing, and others need a ton of work. However, in the CB genre, this game is a breath of fresh air and I'd like to see where MC takes this title. But I have little patience for companies who would rather dime and nickel me for every little tiny thing to "Add to the game experience." **By the way, if you look closely at the advertisements in-game, MC is clearly getting a nice cut from companies such as Ford. Sure, sell billboard ads for in-game use. In fact, please do so! I think it adds to the realism. But do not force me to pay for PO to get content updates if you are also getting a big, fat pay cheque from advertisers.

    I've merged all the files into a DAT file (Including the lot files...)

    I wish Maxis made SC4 build the buildings like this... In SC2000 they kind of did that (no animated that is). One way to fake this would be to create this as a stage 1 commercial growable.

    Currently I haven't added any lights to it but is something I am in the process of doing, nor does it have any jobs (not sure how to do that yet). As far as animation goes I have no idea how to animate.

    This set contains two lots for you to plop down into your city. I plan a future release that will contain a variety of lot styles. This release includes two 5x5 lots. These are great for reserving spots in your city for later development, plus they also give added realism to the game. Location in game: Landmarks Updates: - Added both lot files (forgot last time) - Converted the bat into a DAT Still to do: - Add night lights to the models - Add more detail to the models Cheers

  9. v10 PreRelease

    plasticsim commented on plasticsim's file in Parks & Plazas

    Thanks guys! I'm planning on releasing the PSD file for the field so that others can modify it to their likings. But before i do that I want to make a few variations of the field.

    !!FIXED!! Didn't add the right files for the lot to work, sorry guys. Every H.S. needs a football field and now you finally can add one to yours! BETA-Release: To-Do List: 1. Turn field into Base texture (or overly texture) 2. Fix field grass color. 3. Fix level 4 & 5 zooms, there is a problem with them.

  11. City of EDMONTON

    plasticsim replied to TheJerseyDevil73's topic in SC4 City Journals

    Here something I thought might make a nice addition to your city... Edmonton's CN Tower It's still in it's infancy, but I hope to complete it soon. I haven't added any textures to it and a lot of detail is still missing, also I haven't completed the lobby and the first 4 floors.
