Thank you!!!

Hey so I started playing again after getting a long deserved break from school. I basically started fresh - no previous mods or anything. I started a new region and before you know it, mansions started taking over my city. I swear I had something that dealt with it (eliminated them) but I can't remember what it was or what the mod was called. So if someone has an idea of what the mod is, it'll be appreciated. Thank you!!!

Unless you had mentioned that GIMP was used, I would've never guessed that it was shopped. That 4th one looks so real! Great work, (as usual)

One thing I've noticed about many American signs posted here is that many are more vertical and narrow than what I'm used to seeing. When I first used Kurumi's Signmaker, my primary use was to assist I'm creating California-themed cities. I think if you are doing regular American signs, then the program would be fine (although I haven't travelled outside California long enough to see what regular American signage looks like), but I often had problems making California signage that are often short in height and wider than average American signs (and sometimes very wide at many major interchanges). So the proportions may be right for regular American signage but not for California signage (either that or I somehow didn't know how to use it). Plus the maximum number of lanes per sign in the signmaker (for making down arrows) bugs me when I want more than 4 arrows pointing downwards on the same sign. It also limits customization of your sign which would have to get done in Paint afterwards. I'd give examples and links but my computer is broken atm and I'm doing this from my phone. But that's my two cents on Kurumi's Signmaker.

Rainbow Dash Rocks, I highly suggest you use either Inkscape (free download) or Illustrator (which I use) instead of MS Paint. Believe me. Here's an example comparing the two. MS Paint Illustrator As you can see, the images created using a program like Illustrator or Inkscape looks clearer and less pixelated than the first two done with MS Paint. And don't stretch your shields in weird proportion/size. Your signs will look nicely done! Good luck!

Add taller buildings and pedestrians and you've got San Francisco's Financial District

Those are really nice. Great work!

My SC4 life would be complete as soon as RHW introduces Multi-Level Stacks No

You obviously never been to Atlanta, Georgia. I've only been to Atlanta once, and I'd say the freeways there are pretty "green" and RHW-looking. While that may be the case there, it doesn't eliminate the fact that most freeways are built with steel and concrete, especially those here in California. And they are not green at all and don't look like what RHW is trying to recreate. I agree with Moskva, RHW is great for creating eyecandy in rural areas but Maxis is more useful in larger cities, and blend in much more nicely than RHW. The only thing I like RHW better than Maxis is the amount of lanes possible. It's hard to find 3 lane freeways in large cities unless you're in the country. Btw, here's an example of how I see freeways (too lazy to take a picture myself. Here's some steel and concrete awesomeness from Oakland). Interstate 80 Westbound Eastshore Freeway San Francisco three right lanes ONLY approaches at Exit 8B - Interstate 880 Nimitz Freeway SOUTH Alameda, Oakland Airport, San Jose and Interstate 580 MacArthur Freeway EAST Downtown Oakland, Hayward, Stockton by RaymondYu, on Flickr A bit of the MacArthur maze by thamiter, on Flickr

Thanks for the criticism! I dragged the ramp onto the RHW6 in hopes of saving space. But I'll look into all of your suggestions! Impressive! Very smooth and space consuming, and realistic too, but I like it!

Ok, I'm alive again (college) and I've got a couple to show off

Looks too new to be replacing shields But I see what you mean

Aside from the green square in the interstate sign, lookin' good!

Second pic. Isn't that the West Dublin BART station? That's correct. I used it because it was in the middle of the highway(Which I thought would work best). I go by it every time my take the 580 when coming home from vacationing in the Bay Area. Cool, I take it all the time cuz driving in San Francisco is a pain Nice job with the editing.
