the monorail lots r TE lots and i used the sc4tool for it but it seems i used the wrong railing props cos they have no shadows

over the road i draw an ordinary monorail to connect the TE lots than u will c no pavement under the rail for this i open the lot again and resize them
with the road texture how i learnd it from badsim for under bridg textures
with this i used the space under the monorail for things like a library a museum ar plazas so its usefull and looks nice

20 minutes after downloading prepo's new BAT's and LEing them, I came up with this - It showcases all of his bats and some extras I found by swi21. I consider it the local business center

All the pictures in this thread look awesome! I especially love ussagus and Alkaola's pictures; those are what I hope my main CBD might resemble whenever I get to it! Rushman5, that's also a really interesting area you've created. The haphazard planning with streets and roads going every which way I think really gives it a lot of voice...and those diagonal parking lots are awesome!

Ahh...I have some to share (note that this is not the main CBD of the region):

Chiefly Tower (the tall brownish one) really adds character to this area, I think:

I don't really know what to make of this picture...I just really like the lighting on that white buildings (the name of which I can't remember at the moment):

Random shot of a couple buildings:

I took wanted a picture like this one after seeing Alkaola's awesome sunset picture up there

:

Same shot at night:

...that is all...

Shadow Assassin · October 20, 2007, 07:35:12 AM

If you can call it a downtown...

Haljackey · October 20, 2007, 10:04:28 AM

I would call it a downtown, SA. Its just a smaller sized city's downtown. It looks great with that parking lot!

I will upload some of my downtowns sometime... Its just a matter of having the free time to do it

Awesome downtowns everyone! Simply amazing!

squidi · October 20, 2007, 06:53:33 PM

RickD · October 22, 2007, 03:29:01 AM

Quotein the last pic u c an ordinary one way road its not a te lot an not a mod how can i do this ?

Did you make a new lot for the buildings with overhanging textures?

That scaffold looks great, too.

squidi · October 22, 2007, 05:33:08 AM

thats right i rezised the lot for the textures but i have props too on the rezised space to make them visibl i changed my graphic options and than i changed them back and than i c props from a changed lot without the need of replace it
..but i tell u i never will do this again cos i used te lots 4 my avenus after changing grafic options i have to replace all lots cos the trees and greens and lights from the maxis ave appear on the te lot
