    Cogeo - your comment is interesting, I guess I subconciously arrange my bitmaps with that thought in mind !!! lol. Regarding the bridges, its always difficult in a region with large land masses to arrange cities so that ALL forms of transport are possible - but I do always try to achieve that :-)
  2. So I downloaded some maps but....

    Presumably you did put the map in the REGIONS folder and not in the plugins folder ? Firstly create a region, then exit the game, using windows explorer find the sim city regions folder and open the region you just created, place the map that you downloaded into that folder. Then take the custom bmp you downloaded and OVERWRITE the existing bmp config file. Start SC4 and open the region, press ctrl shift alt R find the regions folder, select the map file from the crated region folder, and the region will render as per the map and the config bmp :-)

    In this map I have tried to create a region with all possible features - there are flat plains, rolling hills, sandy beaches, and harbours. All the waterways are navigable, and there are no hidden sandbanks offshore (which cause your ships to sink) and it should be easy to build bridges without having those ugly steep ramps leading on and off :-) Hope ya like it :-)

    mr food - heres a link that will help you https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=57421 But the one thing that the writer of this link didnt make clear is that you have to OVERWRITE the existing bmp config file in the region you create
  5. Waterfalls - are they possible ???

    LOL Joey - tell me what you would like and I'll create it for you - or I'll stay up all night trying anyways !!!! Anyways - back to topic .......... The pegasus streams and ponds, is a lovely addition to any city, but it still doesnt answer my original question. Is it at all possible to modify the water table in such a way that we can build a mountain and then take a river from say 500m elevation down to a flat plain ? Within the confines of the game programming, the only choice we have is to dig down to the existing water table which is consistent throughout the region, which results in huge canyons, and the river effectively is NOT flowing downhill - in fact, in theory it should not flow at all, as it is at a constant level all the way - there is no fall on the river bed. Come on all you modders I think this needs some thought - your feedback as to the feasibility would be much appreciated :-)
  6. Waterfalls - are they possible ???

    Thanks for your reply fred_ginger, I originaly tried the water mod (mayor mode) see above for my opinion on THAT one !! I have now installed the Pegasus ponds streams etc files and they are excellent - as are ALL pegasus BATS Lots textures etc :-)
  7. Waterfalls - are they possible ???

    Thanks for your reply Vester - I found a ploppable water mod and tried it - looks absolutely grotesque. The water colours do not match the ingame river colours .............It made my city look as though a 5 year old had scrawled across them with a giant paintbrush.

    Gemini Lakes - a beautiful region of Sim World, with sandy beaches and secluded bays, where naughty sims have been known to go skinny dipping !!!
  12. Land of the Scorpions

    A comment like that from you Mallow is a great honour - thanks my friend - and buckbeach outta just go play the game and stop trying to be a purist..........
  13. Land of the Scorpions

    If these maps have no place here, please explain why the 3 astrological series maps have had over 50 downloads so far. You are entitled to your opinion buckbeach - but thats all it is, an opinion - you do not speak for everyone on ST :-)

    OK here it is, as requested by Goldielocks, the next in my series of astrological maps. As scorpions live in the dry regions, there is no water on this map !!! Ive arranged the bitmap to provide a good mix of small medium and large cities, but please feel free to change it to suit your own preferences :-)
  15. Leo the Lion

    Thut - I am pleased you like it mate :-) Goldilocks - lol Scorpio was gonna be my next creation anyways - and it will be a desert map so thut will be even MORE happy:-) and BIWDC your BATs textures and Lots are excellent so I consider your comment a great honour - thankyou :-)

    This is my second map in the astrological star signs theme (as requested by ST member "thut"). Comprises 16 large cities 4 x 4 with relatively flat land. Further maps in this series will be produced on request - but ask nicely !! :-)
  18. Gone Fishin

    I was expecting that kind of request Thut - I will be happy to make a map for you - in fact this may well turn into a series of 12 maps :-)
  19. Gone Fishin

    I think you just answered your own question micah - its all well and good making a map with a nice design, and spending hours testing and improving it - but if sims dont like it ............. cant please all the people all the time :-)

    This is a map of the astrological star sign PISCES - or its just a map for people who like fish !! The land is flat, and the "river banks" gently slope down to the water - easy to build on and VERY playable :-)
  21. Stars and Stripes 2

    Thx guys - your comments are encouraging :-) Im surprised nobody has tried making a map like this before - as I was the first to come up with the idea I was a little disappointed myself with the first one
  22. Stars and Stripes 2

    Thx for testing the map blah :-) I worked on around 5 versions trying to keep the appearance of the stars and stripes but make the map playable - I hope this map is a good compromise between the two :-)

    Ive tested many versions of this map - its difficult to make the map easily playable without losing the appearance of the stars and stripes, but I hope this one will be more pleasing. Its great fun putting in a marina and watching the little boats sail around the star islands :-)
  24. Sim River 2

    Your work on the STEX is very good - so I am honoured that you have downloaded one of MY maps - thankyou :-)

    I apologise to Ms Miller for assuming she was male !!!!
