Thought I'd start letting everyone see the latest projects I'm working on. I have one long-term and one short-term project going on at the moment. Right now I'll tell you about the short-term project while I'm taking a break from the big one.

Here are links to my major automata sets

Here is the automata for the next dealership. Toyota.
I'll be posting updates on my progress on this thread.
Hi Mike-
Glad to see you "setting up shop" here, so to speak. I'm a huge fan of your dealerships and automata--they fill a really nice niche that no one else has done, and I'm particularly glad to hear you're doing a Toyota dealership, as they're one of my favorite automakers along with Volkswagen. :D
Looking forward to seeing more on this and the aforementioned "large" project!
-Alex
I have a few of your modifications, and I must say that I quite enjoy them. Especially the Hyundai one (it being one of my favourites, because both my boyfriend and mother drive Hyundais :P).
But I'm glad to see you're doing Toyota, because doing an African MD and all that, it is a must to have, what we in South Africa call "bakkies" (I think you refer to them as pick-up trucks or something like that in the US). You get them in double-cab too, but to illustrate what a bakkie is, I will, appropriately, use your image! :P

The bakkie is the one in the lower right corner. I think it is a Hilux? And upon closer inspection, it is actually a double-cab, so, "you get them in single-cabs too" would actually be more appropriate! :D
Anyway, welcome to the forums! Great to see you here! (That should have gone at the beginning of the post, I know. Sorry. :P)
wow mike! you never cease to amaze me, your cars and automata is one of the best to add detail to simcity, looking forward to see these puppies in the Lex ;) &apls
edit: aha! i just noticed you're making my mother's van :D
Welcome mikeseith! I have all your dealerships and look forward to more. Love the European cars too. Would like to see the Japanese ones as new instances as well... ;)
I'd also like to see a Toyota RAV4 created as well.
If it's already there, it's probably because I can't really see which one is which (which is more a limitation of automata)...
Your dealerships are outstanding, great work and very nice addition to the game.
Thanks
Robin :thumbsup: &apls
Welcome Mike &apls I love your dealerships and automata as well. Glad to see something new in the works. The cars look great as usual.
An update already.
Here is work on the showroom part of the small 1x3 Toyota dealership. As you can see it is part of the Kuskin auto group in SimCity.
These images are rendered in Carrara 3.0, not in BAT.
Just a little more of the Toyota dealership. Here is the parking garage for the large dealership. I hope you like it...More soon.
Hello Mike,
first I want to welcome to our site :thumbsup: . Your car dealers are a classic for this game ;)
I really love these new "sc4 dev" models ;D . They are excellent as usual.
I also like these garages a lot. In fact, they could be released by their own, as well as a part of a delaership.
Great development so far :thumbsup:
Wow! Those dealerships look just like South African ones! :P
Great work there! &apls &apls
Here is the latest on the Toyota Dealerships. Most of the lotting and BATing is done. I have made custom prop families for the dealership cars so the same dealership won't always have the same cars in the same place. Most of the automata are done except night lights and UDI menu stuff.

Awesome work, Mike! Could you tell me, is there anywhere you've posted a tutorial on how to create custom automata? Sorry if you've been asked before...
I used to have a tutorial and its a long story on how it was lost. I have been working on one on and off for the last 2 years with no luck. I think I was trying to put too much info in it. Planning on giving it another shot soon.
So the short answer is: Not at this time.
Awesome work Mike - I'm a Toyota man - my past 2 cars were Toyotas - but now I'm driving a Subaru Baja, and Honda CR-V - hey, any plans in doing Subarus? ;)
Simply awesome :thumbsup: &apls could you make a Chevrolet-Pontiac dealership, also a Harley Davidson ;D please :)
ouuu also a mini cooper and a mitsubishi dealership oh yeah a acura and an infinity one too! :P
Excellent news mike :thumbsup:
great to see the project going forward ;)
glad to hear the project is still moving forward. The lots look great and can't wait for their release &hlp
Hmmm. Release date. It might take some time because I'm taking the family on vacation and I have a little personal issue that may take lots of my time this summer. So, it might not hit the LEX / STEX for a few months, but it won't be forgotten.
@Filasimo: There's already a Mini Cooper dealership on the LEX: http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=25. I made the Mini automata for this one. There are two sets of Mini automata, one with the UK flag and one without it (8 cars in each set).

Mike, your stuff is top notch. I have downloaded all of your automata that you posted on the STEX. I will wait for the new content, and hope you you have luck with your personnal issues.
&apls on your site I noticed the 60's car mod. will the models be available seperatly without replacing standard maxis automata ()what()
carkid1998 . The plan is to have both versions. A replacement mod and one that just adds to the Maxis automata. Work has been slow but there may be time for me to do more work again.
On the issue of a release date. I think I'll do what the NAM team does and refuse to even guess at one. That seems to be the safest route.
Wow, nice to see you again Mike :)
i downloaded all of the dealerships but BMW and Mercedes dont show up? I have all the dependancies
JDOG4545.
The BMW and Mercedes dealerships are a little hard to make grow. Those are two dealerships that need patience.
On a related note, I have been working on the automata for a new Audi dealership and a new Chrysler dealership.
These are the Audis. A6, R8, and S8
the automata for a new Audi and a new Chrysler are excellent. &apls
I am waiting for your new release. Good luck :thumbsup:
Whoa I know its been a few months, but I love the new automata. The Audi's especially ;)

Have you done any mercedes G class suvs? I can't seem to find them.
You know this thread hasn't been updated in 13 years, right?
I guess the best answer I can offer is if you can't find them, then no they probably were not amongst the released content. I'm not intimately familiar with all MikeSeith's uploads, but can't ever recall coming across one using them.
