There are currently plans to restore the lost content from the Kurier, but this will take some time, so, in the meantime, I, 11241036, am uploading this file on his behalf and in consultation with Tyberius06, in case it is needed as a dependency. Please note: I only have the original Readme in German, but I added an extra English Readme text file. Short description Windmills have been used in Asia for over 1,000 years. Windmills were brought to Europe by the Crusaders in the 12th century via Asia Minor. Until the development of gasoline and electric motors in the 19th century, people had access to a power machine that could be used in a variety of ways, in addition to the existing water mills. Windmills were used for drainage, especially in the coastal areas of the Netherlands. The water was raised over the dams in several stages and the diked areas, the so-called “polders”, were drained. The mostly octagonal wooden tower stands on a solid foundation, the upper part with the windmill blades is rotatable. The wings and the “steert” (a beam at the end of the hood for turning the windmill cap) can be operated from the surrounding gallery. For further information, please refer to the Readme in the download. Dependencies: This plugins requires no external dependencies. Installation: Copy/extract the content into your Plugins folder. Keep the Readme and it's best to store it outside of the Plugins folder. To un-install the files, simply bulldoze every lot from this download in your cities and delete the files from the plugins folder afterwards.

Loosely based on the appearance of the Old Patent Office Building in Washington DC, the Museum is a brand-new building with (for the first time) some brand-new behaviors. Basically, it's a landmark-meets-library - apart from attracting tourists that shovel out cash in the gift shop, it also lures in your local populace who might learn something from the experience. Given enough tourists, your sims' education will literally pay for itself. It can be found under the education menu. Special thanks to MaxisGuillaume for the idea and some guidance.

Finally I'm able to release a new version of my first building mod - an offline version of the Central Train Station. Besides being able to function besides the default station, this one has a few perks; New better looking lot more suited to the station size Buildable on road as opposed to on rail Contains built-in tracks Has a much higher capacity than the default station (at a slightly higher cost)

I've been working on this one for weeks, but it's finally here; the elevated railway based on MaxisGuillaume's 'Maglev as Subway' mod (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/29428-maglev-as-subway/). This mod uses the maglev network to create a Chicago/New York style "EL-Train" with tracks and stations that can be placed above roads. Can I still use the maglev? Yes, this mod exists as a completely new network - however, due to how the game is implemented, the EL-train vehicles replace the default maglev ones. So, you can still build the vanilla maglev tracks and stations, but the vehicles that will travel on them are EL-Trains. Can I use this in combination with MaxisGuillaume's Subway? Yes - while this mod is inspired by his, it exists as a completely separate entity, although just like with the maglev, the new EL-Train vehicles will travel on the paths - of course, in case of the subway this might actually be preferable if you want a more realistic subway. For the time being you can't connect the two networks together yet, but I'm planning on making this possible. (Many thanks to MaxisGuillaume for helping me to get this to work)

This train is a replacement for the default one, but is different in a few ways - first of all, it is longer and has a higher capacity than the default one, and secondly is pulled by a single engine instead of existing in a 'multiple-unit' configuration. The engine is based on the NS Class 1600 The carriage is based on the ICR carriage

This mod is an offline-only version of my Public Transport Stops which allows them to exist as standalone objects besides the official in-game transportation stops; so unlike all 'online' mods, it needs not to replace an existing item but adds three completely new ones: Tram Stop: A longer platform with two shelters, plenty of seating and lighting. Bus Stop: A glass bus shelter with a small bus stop marker School Bus Stop: A small wooden shelter

This mod changes all the smaller public transport stops into the following more realistic and less out of place alternatives: Tram Stop: A longer platform with two shelters, plenty of seating and lighting. Bus Stop: A glass bus shelter with a small bus stop marker School Bus Stop: A small wooden shelter

If you're having problems with having one of my train mods show up after the Cities of Tomorrow expansion pack, placing this package into the SimCityData folder will fix that for you. Also, when you're not using a train skin mod, you get the old Maxis train back.
