BLS Barby's Lot Studio

[MsD]

First visit here Barb.

I wouldn't say you pillage, just improve. or help out would be a better choice of words.

Whatever the words should be, keep it up.  You do outstanding work.

[Sim Shady]

MsD is very right.  You are like the glue and frosting to the best BAT team in all of SC4; You keep the team together, and make perfect lots.  Thank you, i cant tell you how many people appreciate what you do here   

[BarbyW]

I am having another attempt to upload some of my lots that are currently locked on the STEX. I intend to upload in groupings rather than individual lots and am currently looking at the mega housing lots. I have 20 individual installers to deal with and for speed I am looking at providing a single new list of dependencies. The stats and information shown in each individual Readme have not changed but the dependency list has. I need to provide the links to all the dependency files and shall then post the list to the LEX for collection prior to downloading the packs. I shall also put a copy of this list in the zip with the individual packs. I hope this will be sufficient but will be here to answer queries if necessary.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all you do to help make SC4 the best game ever! Your expertise is GREATLY appreciated!

YOU ROCK!!! 

[existenz]

I am new to SC$ and SC4D and I want to say thank you for all the great pillaging you do. Great stuff! I was wondering why all the BLS Farm files were locked so great to hear they'll be around soon. Thanks again

[BarbyW]

All the BLS Farms and fields are on the LEX here. If you search for BarbyW you will find all that I have uploaded. Please note that you need to register separately for the LEX.

This is wanderful news.  I have been waiting for this.  I wanted the new updated stuff and to be able to DL it from the LEX just for trackablity.   

Thanks alot,
Robin

I was thinking maybe you could figure this out. I was going to make 2ch.netsimplayer's ricepaddies grow - if you zoned the proper LOT size and used the agriculture. It started to turn out to be an easy task except for one thing. I do not know how to create seasonal cycles with the rice paddies.

2ch.netsimplayer provided the models and also did the proper seasonal cycling it seems - for they have day and starting periods. However you need to translate japanese to make any sense of them. Here's what I figured out so far:

Touki = Winter
Kaki = Summer
Shuuki = Autumn (Fall)

but Kara =
And Shunki =

There is little to no LOT editing with these, since his models take up the entire LOT. Only on some of the larger ones - but you can just use the XPIM to copy the props over from his LOTs, which I did easily. (iLive doesnt read the files). Yet, I have no clue as to how I should get them seasonally rotating. Thankfully he's done most of the work with the desc. files - unfortunately his naming scheme doesn't tell us which is which very easily.

Nippon Den'en Tambo 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (Japanese Countysides, Rice Paddy 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
1 and 2 are 4x6 paddies with built-in footpaths and trees, 3 is a 8x12 LOT with footpaths, an island and a shrine at the center. 4,5 are plain flat paddies (but different reflection, bush and such), 6 is a 4x8 plain paddy, 7 is a 4x4 plain paddy, 8 is a 4x4 triangular paddy, but the LOT size is 2x2.
Yousuiro (canal, straight) 
Yousuiro Kousa (canal, crossing)
Yousuiro Teiji (canal, T-junction)
Yousuiro Magari (canal, corner)
Yousuiro Ikidomari (canal, dead-end)
Yousuiro Azemichi (canal-footpath crossing)
All these 1x1 canal LOTs have the same statistics as Maxis default Playground.

I will copy this post over in the Japanese Forum and see what I can come up with for you.

Okay I started a new topic in the Japanese section.   I'm sure someone can help out.

Spring = haru
Summer = natsu
Fall = aki
Winter = fuyu

Timeframe:

haru: February, 4th - Mai, 5th
natsu: Mai, 6th - August, 7th
aki: August, 8th - November, 6th
fuyu: November, 7th - February, 3rd

Naming of the months:

February= kisaragi or nigatsu
March = yayoi or sangatsu

(Now more confusion)
In the traditional japanese calendar, the third month in the year (sangatsu) is very close to "our" April.
sangatsujin = (end of March) = haru no hate ( end of Spring ).

April = uzuki or shigatsu
Mai = satsuki or gogatsu
June = minazuki or rokugatsu
July = fumitsuki or hazuki
August = hazuki or hachigazu
September = nagatsuki or kugatsu
October = j?gatsu or kannazuki
November = shimotsuki or juichigatsu
Dezember = shiwasu or junigatsu
January = mutsuki or ichitagsu

Surumi @ simtropolis helped me out.

I am in the process of updating my files on the LEX. I have uploaded:
BLS GrampaAl's Country Antique Sales
Barby's Bumper Bundle which is a set of 10 plop and 2 growable lots made 4 years ago and  suitable for rural locations.
and
BLS R$$$ Dalene Housing BSC

I am gradually working through my lots but if there are any specific ones you want let me know and I'll get them to the top of the queue.

[Pat]

[BarbyW]

I have now uploaded 3 sets of growable residentials in a variety of formats and wealth levels. They are:
BLS Housing Tudor Style
BLS Housing 6x6
BLS Housing 8x8

I shall post the 10x10 set next week and then start on a variety of other older lots.

[xxdita]

Great to see you getting the chance to update some of your own works, and of course bring them to the LEX, right where they belong. 

[Alfred.Jones]

No wonder they call you the Goddess!

Thanks for these Barby. They will definitely get use in my cities!

[jacqulina]

wonderfull work barby thankyou

[Hogmeister]

It's always good to see updates, especially as knowledge and abilities are growing 

[soulstealer]

I know this is not the correct thread for this, but I can't find any and the one on ST isn't active since 2006.
I need texture IID range just for a few textures I have made for my container port lots.

Someone said ask barbyw, so here I am. Thanks.

[xxdita]

The proper place for a texture IID range would be here. Geoffhaw takes care of that list.
