  1. After looking through the Jobs Provided by Non-RCI Structures chart in the official Simcity 4 strategy guide...I was still a bit taken back... because a lot of the custom lots released have a much larger number of jobs provided then the default game amounts. Im guessing this would probably throw off the normal expected flow of the game and cause problems with those who intend to play and build cities normally. For example, the default amount of jobs for the default medical clinic is 1-6-1 (res. low wealth, med wealth, high wealth) jobs but in custom lot releases for medical clinics and similar lots, the jobs range from 100 to even 215 jobs... So my question is, has anyone figured out sort of a default or base number of jobs for standard retail lots such as a mcdonalds, taco bell style lots and walmart, target, kohls type of lots. There has to be some sort of way to figure out a base number or a good estimate of jobs provided to use with such lots. If you have come up with them please post and explain how you arrived at those numbers......
  2. Do you think a underwater city game modification would be neat? Would you download and support it? Do you think its even possible to put together? Post thoughts, opinions, suggestions on the concept of creating a underwater city game modification for the game.

  4. benno's bats

    Sim Rapture replied to benno2005's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Must be tough getting criticism and advice from some of the best like simfox, but I guess theres no better way to learn, then to learn from the best, a few in this forum are somewhere in that list. The scale was definitely corrected, and you seem to pick up on suggestions and advice very quick, Im shocked its very good for a first time bat. You must have had some sort of relevant previous experience? Where did you learn from which tutorial or which user? And what programs did you use?

  5. Red beaches! Can someone help me?

    Sim Rapture replied to JP Schriefer's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Simmars? maybe, idk but it would be super easy for someone to put together in a few hours.

  6. I think I officially took the most time on my about me page. Blah shoulda woulda coulda. Hope it helps!

  7. Need Volunteers for the BAT MEGA FAQ!

    Sim Rapture replied to Jasoncw's topic in SC4 BAT & Lot Workshop

    Perhaps I could point some things out...I agree the FAQ seems to be outdated a bit...definitely do'able with the right people and right know how.

  8. plopable water

    Sim Rapture replied to 123rebel's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    Neither did I, but if he's a serious city builder, I think nothing beats Paengs terrain detailing and his terrain work.

  9. hey you havent seemed to release things in awhile I enjoyed featuring your sunken highway eye candy, diving owl bungie bridge, and waterfront pack work at pegasus's website in my cities...you should amp up the level of content you create cause its good stuff...hope to see more of you Norwegian

  10. I was wondering if there has been a Las Vegas style game modification similar to SPAM, MPT but with a Las Vegas style theme? Has this been proposed? Has anyone attempted it? Is anyone currently working on it? If no one is I might take up the challenge with the help of 2 of my buddies. I would definitely look into using the SimFox DayNite mod to enhance the color lighting effects Las Vegas is known for. Answer the poll, it will help me out. Your thoughts on the idea?

  11. Glitz Glamour Las Vegas Style Game Modification!

    Sim Rapture replied to Sim Rapture's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

  12. Yeah I dont mind it, I just worry it would throw off the flow of the game, I mean some of us have learned the game with pretty much unmodded maxis style, and they have a certain way about doing things and such...so altering this would be tough to relearn the balance of things. Also, I like your retail lots the sonic/jack in the box, your jack in the box is one of only 2 on the STEX. Have you seen kevdan's stuff? Amazing. If not type jack in the box in the STEX search. and then click see his other files. Where did this dude go? I wish he would keep releasing new retail bats.

  13. Hey I dont know if you are active on ST anymore but great job on the retail bats. I would like to extend an offer to you, I would like to include your retail bats in my retail renovation and renewal project. Please PM me if you are interested.

  14. Shooting Range

    Sim Rapture commented on Popper's file in Parks & Plazas

    Interesting lot, I cant believe no one else has ever released a shooting range lot, unique and cool, Id love to see someone who's experienced in lot editing to make a really detailed version. Simfox? Pegasus? SG?

  15. Its balrog! The boxing brute from Street Fighter II...I remember those days on SNES bwah! ha!

  16. Questions about STEX Buildings

    Sim Rapture replied to violentforce666's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    Yeah because its an alternative to the official Maxis patch which does the effect you're looking for. Put simply, the file you need and want is by Maxis and is rarely available for download outside of their official website but Im sure it is out there try googling it. The SimFox mod is mainly used for Darknite lots and is again an alternative. But if you'd like I can help you install some neat lots and mods. PM me if you're interested.

  17. Questions about STEX Buildings

    Sim Rapture replied to violentforce666's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    Ahhh HA! Found it.... Here is SimFox's https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/23089-simfox-day-n-nite-modd/

  18. Questions about STEX Buildings

    Sim Rapture replied to violentforce666's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    I need the same file for the night lighting. Simfox made a mod for it as well, I found it before but cant find it for some reason. Maybe ST deleted it IDK? But here is a relevant file... https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/25925-uniform-street-lighting-mod/

  19. The Possibility Of An Underwater City Mod

    Sim Rapture replied to Sim Rapture's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion

    Perhaps you have me confused, i dont mean a complete re-haul but rather a few single lots such as maybe a oil rig partially submerged in water off the coast, or under water research lab....not an entire city. Possibly using a 'clear water' texture and using the lot digger lots to lower the land and, place the special water, build a few buildings and then use the god tool to raise the new land by +1 +2. Similar to the creating a beach line tutorial.

  20. Excited about the possibility of working with the great Paeng.

  21. P.S. You're photoshop images could be a little better, if you did that, you'd be flawless.

  22. You are the uncrowned king of the entire concept of custom lots. Your work far surpasses anyone in the communities by a long shot. You're SPAM, CDK, and MTP are simply off the charts, and dude Im sure if Maxis knew about your talents you would have been designing content for the game :-D

    I joined the Simpeg site and sat in a 5 hour binge and downloaded the entire contents of the Simpe...

  23. Well said, you are the king in retail lots thats for certain no one has more of them or the quality but dude what the heck happen with the custom query windows they are so dreadfully ugly in the game, but besides that, excellent work, I have all your stuff in my plugin folder in its own simgoober labelled folder, which says alot considering its the only of its kind beside pegasus and paeng. ;-D

  24. I like your commercial retail buildings better then simgoobers. I just dont get why you guys add these absolutely ugly hideous query windows, if you need help with making custom query windows for your lots, Im excellent in photoshop and know how to add them to lots from start to finish.

    PM me if youd like, I can show you a neat sample, I downloaded all your lots and added my own wind...
