Nice region and a nice start. I like you transportation layout, just a bit... complicated (I am not against this as most of our real city's transport system is haywire) I look forward at the building stage and how you florish your city.

wait a minute, you are worry about the mayor rating goes to red or your city budget? if it is your mayor rating, they just act as a referece for you and it will have no harm done. if it is you budget that goes to red, then you need to spent some time to read through articles thorough out the entire Simtropolis. you could find a couples of them in the OMNIBUS, or you could do a search in forum on how to build a profitable city. hope it give directions to you.

grid... it remembers me the first time I saw SC2K's detroit city map. check this out - a grided city layout. the OMNIBUS offers a comprehensive guide on newbie cities with gridded layout, but after I master the simolean earning techniques I found that the grid layout is not always the way I want, especially with the invention of NAM and puzzle pieces... personally I don't really like grid layout in SC4 but some of the time I just have to make use of it. For city downtown CBD, I usually grid them as this would looks nicer and most modern cities are grided. but for suburbs, I prefer to have a mixtures of them as what JaxCoJazz mentioned, diagonal path makes your city looks good. sometimes it also depends on my mood, as I might just grid down the whole 30X30 residential area with a single drag (crazy!) and just let the game do the auto-road. anyway just play what you think it is. grid or no grid is not a matter...

seems like you are connecting your farm to the town. there was a time when I used up all inches of my land as a cow ranch, and I accidently letting the townies' car to enter and... my moo moo became moo moo carpet!

Whoe, great memory... I remember the last time I have acres of apple fields... and almond is quite profitable. erm... you forgot to put door access to your moo moo barn. next time I guess you'll be building the small airfield with the sprayer I love flying aroung the farm with the plane.

Date: 8/5/2005 2:34:32 PM Author: vester_DK yuhhaur Check this thread out. I posted some links to posts by Trolca about skinning of automata. Hope thats help.quote> thanks. I'll play around with it when I have time.

before I gives you any comments... Welcome to Simtropolis! and here is my advise: Patient, my friend. I'm afraid nobody can able to gives you a confirm answer of YES I can do it and its done! in 15 minutes time. Try to keep an eye on this thread within one or two days time to reallt see what they can help you. BTW, I also don't know how to mod the train (I am still looking around for a solution)

WHOA! thats a mess... questions: 1. what is your version of Simcity4? issit the normal SC4, SC4 with rush hour, or SC4 Deluxe. because from what I know NAM can only run smoothly (less conflicts ) on SC4 ruch hour or Deluxe. 2. what is your version of NAM? so far right now NAM is identify by its release date. the latest NAM had solve various bugs, so you might need to consider getting the latest version. be sure to remove the older version before applying the latest.

AWESOME terraforming. I can't wait for your city of Lavender stands high on this superb region. 1 question: is all your lakes and ponds at sea level? if not, where can I get the beautiful above-sea level water pieces?

This thread will be the place for me to show what is in my world of BATting. Being a first time BATter, I hope anyone that browse through my thread will give me suggestion and comments to make my BATting better. currently there are two project taken place, one will be a residential apartment/condominium, and another will be a highrise commercial tower. Here's a short peek of my progress... 1a. apartment 1b. condominium using the similiar design layout 2a. commercial tower I have a full preview of this building, but it is too big for the STEX, so please proceed to here for the picture. please stay tuned, I will try my best to produce a STEX quality BAT. end of log.

Thank you all for the comments. T Wrecks: the commercial tower are far from finish. I just have a rough idea on how the shape of the final building will look like, but without any details . I think I will come back to it after I finish the apartment project. There is one thing I did not mentioned before, that is all the current models are not yet painted with texture. It is only filled with similiar color that I am going to filled with texture during the final model. Maybe I should state the current stages on each project... The following will be my routine of BATting: 1. brainstorming 2. drafting (on a piece of paper) 3. modelling in BAT 4. adding texture 5. nitelight 6. export to Plugin Manager, LE 7. filling with stats 8. in-game preview 9. changing thumbnail (if any) 10. release anyway here's a small update i did after my office work. I fix the [not showing] window/door frames (I forgot to turn them into editable mesh from editable spline ), and I did a small fixes on the roof (notice the problem?) 1a-2. apartment with fixed windows frame I just discover some flaws on the roof and the upper-penthouse wall not showing naturally, shortly after I render the model. If tonight I have time to sit down, I'll fix it. I guess I should remove the basement units' balcony divider. What you guys think? Gimme some suggestion on what roof junks should I put on top of the penthouse units? I currently have two ideas: water tank, satelite dish. any others? current project: 1. apartment - stage 3 2. commercial tower - stage 2.5 (looping) end of log.

the mod files is under the Modding files section. just look at the menubar on your left, it is located at the bottom under the omnibus. i tried this mod before and it actually suprise me [:0] in my cities as the traffics suddenly goes from green to red!

I wants a wider waterfall! a waterfall LH piece, RH piece, and center piece would be good...

It looks good but personally I think you could do better. try to look around the other peoples' CJ. p.s. I like how you separate out the highways a few tiles apart. mine is just zig-zag going through the cities, which I think It is not good. by the way, how is your traffics? from what I experience this kind of layout usually will lead into traffic problem (a rush hour!) keep on your good work!
