Simmer's Lotting Lab.

[fantozzi]

Halt! Stop! Wait! Those I won't put into the game. I need them for my own. To pimp my car.

[Simmer2]

LOL fantozzi I had no idea you liked rice rockets 

Anyways here is what I got so far for the BASF project. The big buildings are already available on SM2 Mega Prop Pack Vol2 , I just added the little BASF sign you see, placed it at the right spot with X-Pim.

This is a test bed lot, just a place holder for show & tell.

Wow.  I'm proud I made a pedestrian bridge while you made half of the company in the same time. The green night lights of the butane exhausts will make perfect company with Tag_one's refinery props. 

[fantozzi]

Nick, we have a problem.

The fart stack at least should be little bit higher than 100 Washington Square. This means ~110 meters, I guess. That's because... you know, BASF does them with a really really evil smell. And if the stack isn't high enough ... it might be ... the whole upper floors faint if wind direction is bad. What do you think?

[Simmer2]

Fantozzi, my stack is 81 meters tall and that building must be closer to 200m tall and there are no such thing as 200m plus flare stacks. Also flare stacks are away from any buildings therefore you must drop them at the edge of the complex.

Another concept: 1 lot. 5 bus stations.. Preliminary pics. Im still tweaking the prop fams. They feature illuminated signs for night view.

Thanks belfastsocrates

The mayor got tired of seeing the old abandoned house down the road and after confirming that it was owed by the city he ordered it to be demolished

Things are shaping up nicely, I really like the old building being torn down - if only using the bulldozer tool would look like that!

[AsimPika3172]

FINALLY!  The pipes is coming!    I will waiting!

[Simmer2]

Thank you Andreas and AsimPika3172.

Progressing well...7 more lots made.

Still thinking up lotting ideas though.

Simmer2

[fantozzi]

I bet many citizens think those roadman and municipal workers with all their machines to clean up the parks and repair the sidewalks, checking the manholes and fixing the asphalt ...

... they just plop out from the ground like the mushrooms in a mountain forrests.

But instead it isn't so. There are plenty of facilities or areas were not only those machines are locked up but also all the material is stored the roadman need.

Look around, sometimes they look like some scrapyard with wild flowers and trees growing there. Instead those are the supply centers of those workers keeping the city's public places good looking.



If I'm not wrong, even in SC4 they are still missed now for 15 years. Mushrooms. Whey there's a highway to build they pop up from the ground. Those Sims building up the parks and networks in your city and collect the garbage and keep the city running - they have still no base, no lot, from which they start their operations and where they take the building materials they need, when to fix sewers and the public playgrounds.

If you're looking for lotting ideas - I don't know the right word, but all those roadman and municipal workers have their starting point and all their materials and machines have their deposites all across the city. Lots always looking a little bit like scrapeyards, where they keep all the tools and materials and machines.

So I suggest those to create. Even if I don't know how they are named.

[Simmer2]

Fantozzi They are called maintenance yards here.

I did think about making a couple of them which I saw around here. Thanks bro!

I do have another ready to render.

SM2 Garthamlock Water Tower It actually exists and it is located in Glasgow UK.

Simmer2

[Andreas]

Oh yeah, we definitely need one of those for all the construction crews, garbage trucks, snow plows and whatnot, complete with some storage sheds, maintenance buildings, road salt depot, you name it.

[mattb325]

The tent looks good. What modifiers in gmax did you use to get the folds and creases in the fabric?

[Simmer2]

Thanks!!

@Matt, I sent you a PM with the method I used.

[Tyberius06]

Hi!

Really nice water tower! Thanks for sharing it!
Also I quite like the "random" stuffs That shed/barn (I'm not sure) looks nice and the tent looks like a good addition too. 
And I like the idea of a maintenence yard too.

Thank you for your work!
