I have signed the Petition. I hope Maxis fixes some of these errors. I really hope Maxis gives us a program to make animations for SC4. I and dudy constructor have tried to make animations, but they dont work.

Amazing city!!! I love how organized your region is. That airport has to be one of the largest airports I ever seen. I never seen anyone use a whole city square just for an airport. I love the way the BAT buildings look in your city. You have put a lot of hard work into your city. I want to know, do the sims in your city speak some kind of language? What is their national flag? Do they have a national anthem. I think it would be cool if you made all these things. Excellent Job.

Not many people interested in desert regions for sc4. I wonder why?

Why not just create Pittsburgh with the terraform tools. I know its hard, because Pittsburgh has many hills and 3 rivers. I think it can be done. It involves a lot of hard work. I am gonna try to create the 3 most famous buildings in Pittsburgh in BAT. I have already started on the USX tower. I might be able to make Mellon 1 and PPG place. I wish I had more time to make BAT projects. I live in Pittsburgh and I love this city. Its worth recreating the city, no matter how hard it might be.

Yes I have tried putting textures on the cacti, and they dont show up on an object that small. All that shows up is the color of the texture. Do you really like the cacti as they are? I hope so, because I tried everything I can think of to get the ridges to show up. I think the current desert mod beta is ok for now. I have no idea where Teirusu is. No one has heard from Teirusu in a long time. Would you use my cacti with the current beta desert mod?

the quality of the cacti, heh. i tried everything that I can think of to get the cacti to render good. I even got 3ds max, but that didnt help neither. Here is what the cacti looks like in 3ds max before render. link to photo

Hey, I have found an old desert terrain mod by Teirusu. He never finished the mod per say, but he did release a beta version a long time ago. This mod gives us the possibility to make realistic desert regions. The redness of the desert can be increased or decreased to your liking. You just have to play around with the terraform tools. Here is a picture of what the region looks like with the mod. link to photo of mod I have put my cacti in this desert region. I think they look pretty good. Once I'm done with turning them into flora, it will be possible to place the cacti like trees all over the region, without making a lot. Here is a photo of my cacti in the desert region, so far its still on a lot. link to photo This mod is not perfect, but Teirusu never finished it. Until he finishes it, this mod will do fine for our desert regions in my opinion. I need to know if you like my cacti though? I did make ridges on the cacti, but they never showed up after render. Here is the link to Teirusu's unfinished desert terrain mod. I hope Teirusu dont mind me giving this link out. link to mod Just put the dat files in your plugins folder.

I have made a final version of the cactus. I have made 3 different kinds of cacti. I have tried everything I can think to make the cactus render more clearely, but nothing works. I will be making these cacti into flora in god mode, so that realistic desert regions will be possible. Here is a photo of the cactus in gmax. link to photo Here is a photo of the 2 different kinds of cacti after render. link to photo Here is a photo of the 3rd kind of cactus after render. link to photo Please tell me what you think of these. I did all I could to get them to render clearely.

Do you guys like the cacti? Please tell me.
