Totally agree. Too much has been lost. Sometimes memories are all we're left with.

Is PEG PPond Lock on STEX/PLEX?
cjm3fl replied to Tyberius06's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
I'm amazed that some much was saved and moved here. There were several files over on SimPeg that were very old and not supported anymore, but very complete. I remember seeing somewhere that a big chunk of Pegasus' transferred works, not already on STEM, actually came from the computer files of various individuals! If an "older", unsupported, file isn't available on someone's computer it's probably lost for good. It's great that so much of Pegasus' new content had already been uploaded here. But to have so much of the older stuff found and also added, just amazes me. -
While it would awesome to be able to visit a SimPeg site again, unless there were enough developers to add new content the site would only become a "storage" place. It's wonderful that so much of the old site's content was found and moved over here. On SimPeg it was all the new content and themes, plus the help (beta testing) from several members, that maintained a thriving community over there. Being able to bring all that back would be great. But nearly $1000, plus monthly/yearly costs, for just storing old (yet wonderful) content....I don't see it. Anyone know if any of the old guys would be interesting in making new Pegasus-related content? A strong community "could" partially help (financially) maintain the site, again. But it would have to be more then just a "U-Store" garage. Just saying...

I wouldn't expect any more stuff from him directly, but there are several people that have added MANY additions to the SimPeg site and related to Pegasus's work that have also been, gratefully, moved here. From time to time additional 'related' stuff might become available...adding to the dozens of Peg and Peg related stuff already available. The content from the Mountain Theme Pack (MTP), the SimPeg Agriculture Mod (SPAM), Coast Development Kit CDK), and the PLEX are really amazing stuff!

They are the pine trees from "Pegasus" and his MTP-Mountain Theme Pack. All the files have been moved over here from his closed site, thankfully! In the "ST Exchange", open the "PLEX" to find a HUGE amount of content from Pegasus. There are a few "pine" files available, old pines, pine clusters, God Mod, etc. All the MTP downloads work great with his SPAM stuff too! I encourage you to spend some time checking out all the wonderful content available in "PLEX". Here is the Mayor Mod Pine Tree Mod that will help you get started.

I was born and raised in Philadelphia. My parents worked in Center City so I saw this building sooo many times. Your rendition is awesome!! I feel like I'm standing at Broad and Market as I look at it. 5 to-the-square out of 5 **accidently gave a 3-star in my vote...I'd like that removed if possible. I added a well deserved 5-star

A Fight on New York's Skyline
cjm3fl replied to diamonddog_74's topic in Architecture & Urban Planning
Originally posted by: Duke87 All that said... it's good to bring up as a comparison, but there's more to 15 Penn Plaza than there is to the Comcast Center. Skylines recieve additions all the time, and it isn't really a big deal, yes. But, see, here we have not only a new skyscraper, but one that is going to be competing for visibility with one of the most iconic buildings in the world. So it's a different ball game. quote> The same thing was said in Philadelphia about the view from the foot of William Penn's statue. There's a viewing platform that is (or atleast was) open for people to view the city from. I read somewhere in this thread that the in-place "pictures" of the new building were provided by those in opposition to the new building's location. I like the idea of preserving notable buildings and the view(s) from these buildings provide. Unfortunately, it is an issue that will always come up when anyone wants to building a tall building in any city. I dont' think the building looks all that bad. I feel it would be a great addition to what's available here, someday. But I don't think I like the close proximity to the ESB. -
A Fight on New York's Skyline
cjm3fl replied to diamonddog_74's topic in Architecture & Urban Planning
Changing a city's skyline is an old argument. I grew up in Philadelphia. Until the 1980's, there was a "gentlemen's agreement" that no building would be allowed in the city that was taller then the statue of William Penn...on top of City Hall. So "Willy" could look out on his city. Since the end of the "gentlemen's agreement", Philadelphia's skyline has changed alot. Many believe for the better. Here is Philadelphia's present skyline, with the newly built Comcast Center (tallest on the right) and City Hall, with William Penn in the foreground. This shows what Philadelphia's skyline will look like with the building of the approved American Commerce Center, which will be 1510 feet in height (it's outline is shown behind the Comcast Center). I used to one of those that didn't want anything taller then William Penn's statue. I've since changed my mind. I think Philadelphia's skyline looks great now, and will be better in the future. This new tower in New York should be built. The ESB will not stand forever. Age will force it to be taken down sometime in the future. -
@ beyurslf -- your city's layout looks great. I have found myself in the same situation, with a quickly growing city and insufficient public transportation. @ soltangris -- your answer to the problem sounds 'right-on'. Thank you. I'll put your ideas into use shortly in one of my growing cities. Transportation systems are costly, but I feel that a well designed, thought out one is worth every single penny.

OMG! If that is the case do we have the strawberries, and icecream and chocolate and nuts (lots and lots of nuts) and it is all topped off with whipped cream.... It is all in the STEX BTW...quote> yeah...sad but true.... total vanilla playing....for all these long sad years. To be honest, I didn't know this site existed until a few weeks ago. Glad to finally be here. Can't get enough of it. speaking of ice cream and all the great toppings....is it "car-mall" or is it "cair-a-mel"??? I think this is the ultimate question when talking about the "sweet cream"...at least that sweet cream from the freezer CJ

Originally posted by: Chptrk Another 6 footer?! quote> Oh...6 footer, in height Well, I've been looking around to find a place for my very first post...and guess what I found ...this thread So here's my first post on ST.... On the Kensey scale I'm a 6 here...just ask my EX's. Straight looking and acting...just ask my EX's. Open and out...just ask my EX's. Joined the site several weeks ago and have been lurking....ALOT !!! I came to this site looking for new ideas and help with my SC4 gaming. Looks like I might have found a place for some socializing too. Intro: Older (on my ID, not in my mind or heart) gay guy living down on Florida's central west coast....Tampa Bay area, St. Petersburg to be more exact. I work in a factory...looking particularly 'straight' in my work uniform I'm openly gay, but have to convince some people that I am. Actually had a minor argument with a woman at work once about it. She was like "No, your not!"...I was like, "Yes I am." This went back and forth some until I said, "Introduce me to your husband...I'll prove it". Found this thread just before I had to get ready for work (2nd shift here) and only got through page #2. I'll pick it up from there when I get home later. Let's see....met my "longest term" EX when his son was 3 months old. He still considers me his step-father and remains a big part of my lifel (long after my relationship with his father ended). Hard to believe Tony is now 23 years old. Same EX's nephew was 6 months old when we met...he's also still a big part of my life and lives a few buildings away with his long-term girlfriend. So if I mention "The Kids", it's about all three of them. If I say "The Boys", I'm referring to Tony and Steve. Presently single, live with 3 cats (Rugby, Chico, and Gimli) Have lived down here for 21 years and love it. Been playing Sim City for years and spent 30 hours (yes, thirty hours) non-stop playing when I first got SC4 right after it's release. Anyway, enough for now. Just introducing myself to the closet group and saying HI Catch you guys later...... Chuck
