The End of the Line.
I think this is it for me.
Been playing the game since 2006ish and doing Japanese cities since 2011ish. Last year I took a break of a few months, but the itch to create a city came back hard (specially when I look outside and see the urban developments around me and think "yep that's not how I would have done it")
But frankly every time I played the game i get bored fast to the point where, even completing a city feels like a chore now.
I would launch the game when I have nothing to do/when I'm bored (*), just to fill the void I guess, but the end result is always the same. Bored after 5 minutes.
*and to be fair it's not like I have nothing to do. I have other hobbies I'd like to get back to, even though I'd have to spend some money on them. And I also got a full backlog of other games to play. And IRL, i guess that too.
Been fun. Had some good times creating some cities that I feel i liked.
Even though I had many projects or ideas in my mind that I'd have liked to make in SC4, but sadly it would have required too much custom content, bats, lots, textures etc.. that I simply don't have the motivation and will to do.
I feel like it's been fulfilling at least. Well I say that but there's a few things I would have liked to get for personal satisfaction that I unfortunately never got. (more than 1 trixies, MD hall of fame etc) It is what it is.
Anyway, now that all my last 3D projects are done, including the requests, I think it's about time to finally retire altogether.
I may give cities Skyline a go one day, but probably not. I don't feel like learning how to use a new game system anymore.
Alright, cya.

@Krisman Lovely as usual. I like the terrace on the last pic. it's something I'm definitely missing from the Japanese rice paddies lots. I dislike doing rural areas too. Any reason you are not using wide radius curves?

Which give a nice anecdote: Because Honda had the rights of the Clio name in Japan, when Renault wanted to commercialize the Clio there they had the change the name. So the Renault Clio in Japan are named Lutecia. After the Roman name for the city of Paris (Lutetia) which is really cool.

I mean, you could just read the user's comment right above the picture.

Finished working on the rural area of my "City". The region consist of two large tiles. I don't feel like I'd have the patience to do anymore than that frankly. Quick pictures with no shadows on.

I mean as long you don't have any hardware error, I see no point in changing hardware. Your PC is still modern. Don't believe what the manufacturers or vendors tell you, there are no real reason to upgrade. Windows crashing doesn't surprise me at all, we've had several windows partition just stop working at work. What you can do is backup your data (well, everyone should backup their data anyway) and do a fresh windows install. It's not uncommon for Windows to crap itself after a few years of use.

Does anyone know where to find this shop set? It's from a Japanese website, they consist of several Japanese shops in various lot configuration (examples are 2x2 and 4x2) I don't have them anymore and I can't find them online. All I remember is the 4x2 is called "Tonden"

@Honolulu hey now that looks fine. Now you just need to do the same for the road bridge.

I completely agree with @Jasoncw on this topic. I'll add that In my opinion AI generation could be useful as a support tool, like for instance creating textures. Where an elaborate prompt could for example create a texture of an apartment window with furniture seen from the SC4 angle.

The yachts looks really good. Would it be hard to isolate the brownish building as a standalone release?
