un1's Lots and Mods - Smalltown USA Relots

[un1]

Welcome to my other creations thread. Out of the LAM I do have time to do other stuff like lot and mod. I'll post about those here.

Current Project

Look here.

Great! (will release that semi-diagonal road???)

A Taco Bell! Yay! I love Taco Bell.

That KFC looks pretty good too, ignoring the lot, but the sign has one glaring problem... you can see the texture on the top and sides of it. I'm not actually sure if there's anything you can do about that in gmax, so I usually stick a very thin (like only extruded .3 m) box along each side of the sign you don't want to be textured, and give it it's own texture. I just reread the thread and noticed it says "Relotting." Oops, nevermind!

Fatsuhono: Thanks! I didn't make those, dedgren did.
deathtopumpkins: Thanks!

A little update on the Taco Bell...

Ah, the new lots looks very nice! Of course, the red brick looks amazing. Maybe to TE the parking lots?

[deathtopumpkins]

Oh much much better! That lot's looking great.

And I agree with Fatushono, TE'ing the parking lot would be a cool idea.

Can I have a couple of Volcano Taco's please!    Nice job

Fatsuhono: Thanks! You'll see...
deathtopumpkins: Thanks! You'll see...
papab2000: Thanks!

Well, I finnaly got my SC4Tool to work on Vista so that means I don't have to transfer my lots to my XP just to TE them and that means...

A new teaser!



(As you can see, the parking lots are TE'd)

I still have to work on the Canadian Tire though... Really fixing the lights.

If you are making growables, don't make them TE as they will never upgrade.

[Pat]

not that bad there un1 but one suggestion is to make the back portion of the canadian tire more assecable to the parking lot... you allready said you was going to work the parking lot lights, good cause I think SG or even XD's parking lot lights would work alot better here honestly...  Cant wait to see further devolpment...

[Fatsuhono]

Lovely new idea. But, off topic, I think it would be cool if you just the post images, not have to click on them, because that is an un-necessary hassle.

[wishfulanthony]

I really love the structures you made over there, William! Well done! Can't wait to see more developments for your projects... maybe I'll download them for SC4 too!

[wouanagaine]

Why you don't have any shadows in your pics ? that made them pretty flat

[Dark_horse_spirit]

Excellent detail work on the Canadian Tire, The Costco truck unloading in the back is a nice touch. I for one love to see this Canuck stuff, If non Canadians only knew the power of the DarkSide....I mean Tim Hortons they would be shocked.

[wes.janson]

Canadian Tire! Now my sims can buy cheap tools that don't work... just like real Canadians.

Why you don't have any shadows in your pics ? that made them pretty flat

That's because he has shadows set to low in the graphics options, just like I do since shadows make my game more unplayable than it already is!

BTW, the lots look good. I don't know of many auto stores with sandstone front walkways, but it's a good contrast with the rest of the building. I think the colors aren't that great on the buildings your lotting, but there's no way to fix that now.

BarbyW: I wondered why when I went to TE them it had a red x.
Pat: Thanks for the suggestions, I'll put them to use.
Fatsuhono: Thanks, I know that the rules allow 1024x768 picture sizes but I don't know what they think of it.
wishfulanthony: Thanks!
wouanagaine: There is no shadows because I have the shadows off.
Dark_horse_spirit: Thanks! Oh, don't worrie... More Canadian stuff is coming.
wes.janson: Gah, they do work.
sim-al2: Thanks! Also, there are a few stores where I live that have Sandstone for there walkways (one of them happens to be a Taco Time (Taco Time = A store that sells tacos in Thunder Bay) ), that would include the mall here. Also, these aren't my BATs as I mentioned.



New project (A simple one), Clean Air Ordinance Mod!

What it does is it mods the ordinance "Clean Air". I know tonnes of people have done this but this includes 7 .dats that mod it to a level.

(Low for example is "Low difference from the old one")

Extremely Low
Very Low
Low
Medium
High
Very High
Extremely High


This here is the examplar for the "Medium edit".


The only thing I need to do is wait for Andreas to write the installer tutorial so I can make the installer for it....

Enjoy!,

[wishfulanthony]

I really wish I can get that Super Clean Ordinance Mod... I would like to have that soon! :d

[deathtopumpkins]

Ooh, a new mod!

I don't exactly get what it does though... besides change the Clean Air Ordinance.

And that Canadian Tire re-lot's looking great! And good job TE'ing!

[un1]

wishfulanthony: Coming to you soon!
deathtopumpkins: It heavily/mods the ordinance, more will come later...
