Hi all,

I am starting this thread in hopes that all of you that are using a NHP mapped region will post a picture here. The NHP team has many maps out on the LEX and STEX and many more to come. It would give us great pleasure to see the maps in use.  ;)  Please feel free to show off your NHP regions.  :)

Hi,

I'm building on "Kinbasket Lake" by Beskhu3epnm and HabLeUrG for over a year now (with breaks) but I'm nowhere near finished. I tend to bulldoze whole cities when I'm not happy with the development. And then all this exciting new custom content like the RHW and soon the FARR that I absolutely need to have in my region.  ::) Well, it seems like I will never get this finished.

Thanks to all members of the NHP team for all those great maps.  &apls

just a small question, what terrain mod do you use? I like the look of it

It is a mix of different terrain mods. I switched several times because some mods give better results in certain areas. I am still trying to find the perfect one though  &mmm. If you look closely you can see the borders of the city tiles where the colors change. It is partly Italia, Meadowshire and good old Columbus.

RickD,

Great job  :thumbsup: Amazing you can keep track of three terrain mods for you region.  ;) I am glad to that you got this thread moving.  ;) I think this is going to be a great place to see what others are doing with the NHP maps.  :)

RickD, great to see how you have been working on my map (that I modified, i was HabLeUrG)

papab2000, nice idea about this thread  :thumbsup:

RickD => nice work on that region  &apls one question, where do you get this region ? I can't find it .....

there's a time of my MD used The Est Of Reno  :thumbsup: but my computer had some problem, and the region has gone from my computer....
As you can see, I lower the floor to the left and add a small part of a lac-sea  :D

Art,

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your region. I hope you will start it again. You can get the map RickD is using on the STEX. Just do a search for Kinbasket Lake and it will pop up.  ;)

RickD - Very, very nice my friend.  I love what you've done with that map.  I was hinking of working on it myself, but with so many maps in my vualts to choos from.....well, you can imagine the indecision :D  Thanks for sharing your pic :thumbsup:

art128 - That looks really good Arthur.  Thanks for sharing that with us and I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your region....I know all to well about PC's burping and suddenly some very important stuff just magically disappears.  Downright irritating.

I just thought I'd show off my rendition of Troy and Rich's latest masterpiece! One of my absolute favourite maps EVER - the greater Washington DC Metropolitan Area.  ;D

In rendering this I also discovered my new favourite terrain mod - CP's Italia Terrain Mod (which I used here with the Meadowshire River Tree Controller).

I like the overall effect and I think this map of DC and surrounding areas in MD and VA is just PERFECT!

Very, very nice!  Even though you only sprinkled some tress about, it gives the region a whole new look.  Excellent work my friend :thumbsup:

Thanks! Yeah, I didn't want entire forests on it because I'm so much of a tree hugger that when I build, I try to build as much as possible AROUND the trees!  $%Grinno$%

I usually add more trees in parks and 'nature reserve' areas as soon as I start developing the region. As a South African I love nature and it is usually reflected in very tree-ified cities in SC4!  ;D

Nice start  :thumbsup: Looking forward to seeing it grow.  ;)

I don't remember the name of it, but I know I scaled it down

Wow great job wouanagaine  :thumbsup:

I know exactly what map that is Wou :thumbsup: because I made it and it's where I was born and raised ;D  It's my first real-world map converted from DEM and it's Santa Barbara-Goleta-Isla Vista California.

And I have to say you've done a wonderful job with it.  Where you added more land is where Goleta Beach is with the pier :D pretty much near the airport.

That Washington DC map looks delicious. I plan on working with it once my main box is working again (still down after months due to funding issues).

M4346: You've done a great job in tree-ifying that region (looks like I'm not the only one that uses that word, lol, though I usually omit the hyphen).

I recently began working on one of our NHP maps, the Okayama-Takamatsu Japan map found in Japan Map Pak #1.....here's the regional image.....

And here is where I've begun this region, which I call the Cutlass Straits, in which I try my hand at creating ponds with plopable water, rocks, bushes, grass, trees, lily pads........you get the idea :D  On my first try, I created three sunken ponds and laid out some zoning and spent roughly 6 hours working on this city I named Tambow.  Enjoy :thumbsup:

Amazing Troy !

The pond closeup is really nice to see

And your zoning layout follow the relief  :thumbsup:

but if you spend 6 hours for that, you'll finish that region in 2050 :)

:D  get it done by 2050 eh?  Ah geez, I'll be long gone by then :D 

I like zoning by following the contours of the landscape, makes for interesting layouts.

Troy I told you before I am proud of you what you done!!! That is looking good there and I cant wait to get going before 2050 ehehehehe

The DC Metro area map is perfect and amazing, I would recommend it to anyone!  ;D

And yeah, I use the hyphen because of the influence of UK English in SA, as well as the rules for hyphenation in my native language. :P

@ Troy

I love that map, and like what you've done with it! Great work on the tree-ification of the region and the ponds!  ;D

Are you perhaps planning a LGBT neighbourhood there? I couldn't help but spot the Pride / Rainbow flag!  $%Grinno$%

Great work guys!  ()stsfd()
