Title: Terring's Terrible Lots!!
Post by: Terring7 on February 13, 2010, 10:28:34 AM
Hello :)

I finally download the Lot Editor and start playing with it. Before i use it, let me make some questions...

If i want to modificate a Maxis building, like the airport, just adding some extra props and textures, how must i save it? What i need to do? Do i need to demolish all the buildings so the change will take place? Will the functions of the original lots stay the same? I have some SimMars grownable houses and shops and i want to give them a bit of SimEarth look, with grass and trees. How should i save them?

My ultimate goal is a spaceport that will be more much more than... just a launch pad! ;D

Hello again :)

Because of the lack of science fiction grownable buildings, i had the idea to download the SimMars project and modificate the buildings to make them more suitable for SimEarth cities. This is the result and i hope that you like it :)

As you can see, it's only the beginning of this project. Remember however that those lots are for my personal use only and I'm not going to upload them. Special thanks to the SimMars team for these cool buildings &apls &apls :thumbsup:

Terrible!  :D

Actually though, i think you should consider releasing them. Especially the ones in the first two pictures. Making SimMars buildings onto Earth-friendly lots is a great idea.  :)

I'm very happy to report that all residential SimMars buildings are finally green and ready for action. I was also made some modifications to some of the civil buildings. The next image shows a police station, a fire station, a clinic, a school (the building with the antenna next to the clinic) and a high school (the black building). Hope that you like them :)

A new, parallel project. While i transform the SimMars buildings to SimEarth, how about replacing all (almost) the Maxis buildings with SimMars buildings? ;)

The lots will released!! ;D
But not now! ::)
SimMars Beta 3 is coming soon, with 144 more buildings than SimMars Beta 2. The project will contain 3 folders. The first folder will change the lots of the SimMars project. The second will change the original lots, replacing all the Maxis buildings with the SimMars. The third folder will have extra lots, including (for example) 6X6 R$ lots with small houses and not only. Of course this is only the beginning... ;)

Back again! ;D

SimMars Beta 3 is a project that allow players to build not Terran cities, but Martians colonies! It will contain a large collection of futuristic buildings and automata and anything else to bring you the feeling of Mars.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg40.imageshack.us%2Fimg40%2F1076%2Fnewurbania.jpg&hash=c19a8729586c97c758b654143d34b2e019515a61)

Because there are very few futuristic grownable buildings out there, i download the SimMars Beta 2 and modificate the lots to fit more on Earth. The SimMars Beta 3 perhaps will be ready in late of August (at least i hope). Until then, I'm practicing in the Lot Editor and making some simple lots. When SMB3 released, it's time to work. This is a little taste of what my addon will have...

1) All the original SimMars lots will change. The buildings will be the same, only the lot will change. The red barren terrain will replaced by green grass and filled with trees, talking Sims e.t.c.. Here are some examples...

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg541.imageshack.us%2Fimg541%2F7293%2Fsimmars4.jpg&hash=7f89fa7a9de3b2b6b6f7b726c7eb259b0f4a1aad)

2) Even the Maxis buildings and lots will change. The original lots will still be available to the game, with only a little exception... The Maxis buildings will replaced by SimMars buildings. Here are some examples...

3) All the SimMars buildings will have a large variety of lots in different shapes and sizes. And because the largest lot for a grownable building is 6X6, be prepared for really exotic results!! Here are some examples...

Lots look great I, especially love no2 cause it looks like it can be used in this decade  :thumbsup:

I didn't like when you propped a simmars building near that maxis original, it looks strange with this texture
Title: Re: Terring's Terrible Lots!!
Post by: Terring7 on August 13, 2010, 12:25:36 AM
There are 3 reasons of why i will use the Maxis buildings as props to fill the lots, especially the bigger lots

1) Not all but some of them fits nicely in a future city, and some of them are too cute to remove them ;D
2) In every science fiction story we will see cities that not only has no past but actively rejects it, and that's because artists tend to forget that cities have pasts. Even in the 41st century you will always be surrounded by historical buildings, evidences of earlier times, which is a good thing. Even today, the 21st century, there are modern cities with plenty of historical buildings. So, believe id or not, the Maxis buildings makes the future cities more realistic ;)
3) Is there a law that everybody must be away from Maxis trees, plazas, buildings, automata, ... ... ...? Of course not. Also the use of Maxis buildings will be a tribute to Will Wright and the Maxis team, the creators of the most beautiful game ever &apls


And glad to see that you enjoy them :) :)

I do suggest using BSC textures for the trail parks because it would better.  Just you'll have to edit the tone of the textures to fit in SM.  Whenever I try making lots, I end up with a one-tile grass texture and the rest is what I placed.  What building did you use to make the textures stay as is and not changing into a grass texture?

I know what do you mean and it's very annoying. This is the trick to avoid it. After making the lot and before saving, check one by one all the tiles of the base texture of the lot. If all of them stays the same, save the lot. If one of them turn into grass or something else, remove the unwanted texture and replace it with the texture you want. Then save it :)

SimMars can installed separately from Simcity, so you'll have 2 Simcities with different plugin folders, different region folders e.t.c.. No need for manual plugin replacemend e.t.c., just double click to SimMars icon ;D

Do be honest, i prefer the original SimMars paths. They can be very useful for the creation of "mini roads" to connect the road with some parking lots. However i can use both of them (original and B.S.C. versions) ;)

Need help identifying a couple buildings, and a couple questions.

First of all:

http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8086/simmars2.jpg

The big blue building. I haven't found it in Sim Mars. Where did you get it?

http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/5131/simmars10.jpg

Same with the big blue building in this one. The design looks familiar, like it was made by the same person who did the coruscant that's in another one of your pictures.

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/622/simmars12.jpg

And the blue building in this one.

The reason I ask is because I'm working on PIM-Xing some new high stage high-tech industrials, and at least the last one would fit in well. Second question:

May I please use some of your re-lotted Sim Mars lot files as the basis for some PIM-X work I'm doing, to provide more buildings for CAM? This necessitates being able to redistribute the lot files once I'm done. Reason: You did a fantastic job of lotting these buildings; I couldn't do a satisfactory job in comparison. Furthermore, it seems to me an obscene waste of good lotting for me to throw it all away and attempt to repeat the feat.

I would give you full credit, of course.

"Sure it's a lot of work. According on my calculations, this mod will be ready somewhere in August."

I've dealt with Maxis lots, in a project I attempted. Good luck, man. It's really going to try your patience.

Those buildings are not from SimMars. You can find them from here (http://www.yuhisa.com/cgi/c-board/c-board.cgi?cmd=one;no=111;id=) and here (http://www.yuhisa.com/cgi/c-board/c-board.cgi?cmd=one;no=107;id=). You can also find props to make your own Coruscant buildings. Be careful however, those buildings are huge and have plenty of details!

Yes, you can. However, you'll need the textures and the props of SimMars. Check their forum (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/forum/19-simmars-project-room/) and ask for permission.

Thank you, Terring! Because of the number of buildings, which I don't think were made by one person, I doubt I can get out of requiring Sim Mars as a dependency. Oh well.

I wasn't aware those buildings were props from the coruscant mod...hmm.

Sorry for the double post... You need SimMars Beta 3, not 2. Due to the size (277MB) the file is hosted on a file hosting site. There is no need to register for downloading.

As about the seaports, I have 2 chooses. Some months ago I relot the Maxis seaport and turn it into a truly industrial spaceport. With this trick, it's possible to build "seaports" anywhere you want.

But what if you want to keep the "seaport" style of the Maxis seaport? Inspired by the proportions of the Venus Project...

Hi Terring,
let me say that you are making a really distinct project here ¡¡ , and this is always nice and enjoyable ;)

Regarding your last spaceport lot, I'd give you some suggestions that I would follow if I had to do something like that:

Try to find a real example of what you are willing to make. Obviously there is no spaceport currently here in earth, but there are thousands in comics and fims and pictures, so you can get some key ideas that you want to translate to your lot.

Before you begin lotting, make sure you have the full design developed, and concentrate in make your lot as close to your real design one as possible.

You will probably need to make some custom textures to get something espectacular. Specially the pavements and the runways or parking areas.

Dont use green grass or trees in it. It does not look realistc in such a modern installation imo :). Perhaps a circle of grass with a tree at the facility entrance would be the green touch, but as small as possible.

Use lots of greys, blacks, whites, yellows, reds colors and textures ... concrete, fences,  refuelling area, cargo area,...

Ok, enough.... :), i hope my suggestions may help you to give this lot an extra push and make it look like a Star Trek one ;) ¡¡¡

My project already use SimMars, a 200 megabyte dependency, and I have already some complains about that. Adding even more stuff will harm my mental health, if you know what I mean ::)
Unless if I decide to use a lot of dependencies to make my lots really beautiful and keep the project for myself, available to nobody.

Sure having trees in a spaceport looks a bit funky, but it's not so unrealistic. Check this picture...

A vertiport (airport for Vertical Take Over and Land aircrafts) with green space. My philosophy is to built cities and facilities that connects the humanity with the rest of the environment, not cyberpunk hells. This is why I always add a lot of trees and green zones in my cities and lots, to blend nature with technology.

Quote from: jeronij on August 06, 2011, 02:22:25 AMUse lots of greys, blacks, whites, yellows, reds colors and textures ... concrete, fences,  refuelling area, cargo area,...

The cargo area and the warehouses are underground. Why having a large on ground warehouse, when you can have a way larger underground? ;D
As about the other ideas, I used them to improve my spaceport. Now it has some fuel tanks, nice effects, some futuristic industrial vehicles and an iron fence. The fence will not surround the whole spaceport, so you can build 2 of them and make a larger one ;D

These lots are getting better and better Terring  &apls

The use of effects is great, and there are many more as well (the flashing lights comes to mind for your lots). 

  If you use reader There are a ton of effects in SimCity that haven't been turned into props in the EffectDir.  They can all be made into props, and it isn't too hard.  Look at the exemplar for the existing effects.  There is a property that is just the name of the effect.  Type in a different effect, and there is your new prop (you would have to make a new exemplar as not to override maxis).

Effects can also be tested in-game.  Type say, "Effect radio_tower", or "effect laser_crater_a" into the cheat prompt, and you will see the effect in the middle of the map.

There are a lot of cool trail paths, but they can't fit nicely all together. The result is a lot of stuff in the park menu and plenty of Megabytes in the Plugin folder. Because of this, I decide to collect the best stuff and unify them. By reloting trail paths made by WMP, Pegasus, Paeng, SFBT and BSC, and adding some SimMars additions, I made my own set of naturalistic - futuristic trail paths. It's still in the very beginning, but those pictures will give you some idea...

My aim is to make parks 80% naturalistic (trees, quiet paths, ponds) and 20% urbanistic (gardens, fountains, cultural buildings). It's not finished yet and there is no reason to hurry it, but I hope that you like it as far :)

The landmarks are ready! So you're going to build a cool futuristic city on planet Earth, right? Or maybe you're going to establish some colonies on an extrasolar Earth-like planet, like HD 85512 b. Did you finally terraformed planet Mars? For any case, those landmarks are a must to have :)

If you're going to do something like this, make a filler lot for this.  What if the user want's to make a spaceport, how will they without a filler lot?

Building a future city on Earth? Establishing a colony on an Earth-like extrasolar planet? Did you finally terraform Mars?

All grownable lots from SimMars are finally upgraded. Now your cities of the future will be more alive and with more variety and details. Most buildings will have solar power collectors for electric autonomy (eye candy, you still need to build a power plant), your industries will be really high-tech and your cities will be green and utopian. Having in my mind this...

At last it's time for the final part of the upgrading, the SimMars airports. The previous version was too complicated for a first stage airport, so I bring their original version back. This is the small landing strip, the large spaceport is coming soon...

There is a mod that blocks the Maxis buildings, so only SimMars buildings will construct in your cities. You can remove it however if you wish.

Yeah I have that mod installed.  I am wondering if this would prevent other user generated buildings from growing as well(only allowing mars buildings).  Or would mars buildings also grow with the other user generated buildings

The only way to have only SimMars buildings in your city is to remove any other grownable building. Not recommend, unless you like a lot of repetition. You guess right, you can have the SimMars buildings without preventing any other building to appear :)

Cool.  I will be installing this shortly, as soon as I get around to installing all the other lots I have downloaded recently  lol

EDIT: I installed it and have been playing it.  Great job on getting the buildings and stuff into a regular game, its nice seeing different buildings(I seriously love those martian graveyards  lol) popping up, some from Earth and some from Mars.

The new version of Memories of the Colonists will be released soon. Now I tried to relot the large spaceport again. This time the result is a bit better than the last one. No windmills, more props available, but still not complete. This is how it should look...

... and this is the result. I replaced the parking lots with underground entrances, reduced the number of props and add parked automata airplanes. However there are still missing props (not too much anymore) and textures.

Thanks to the help of the folks in SimPeg.com, the spaceport is finally ready for action :)

What happened? There is a limit in the props number. While in L.E. you can still add props even after you've hit the limit, save the lot and exit without getting any error, the L.E. will remove the last added props that were above the limit. So if after exiting L.E. you decide to restart it and reopen the lot, you would find the lot in L.E. with missing props. According to Paeng, 256 props is the maximum number that a lot can hold. Having this in my mind, I make some changes in the spaceport.

I get some inspiration from Seaports Revealed: Unofficial Guide to the BSC Functional Seaports (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=14336.0) and I decide to finish my Maxis seaport replacement. No more just an ugly pier, but an in-land functional spaceport.

The stage 3 is mostly underground and can home a huge spacecraft, special design for interplanetary flight. You can finally ship your products to Mars and other farther colonies ;D

Notice 2 small gaps with the roads in every stage? Those gaps means that you can place a single spaceport... or 2 of them! The fence will not surround the whole spaceport, so you can build 2 of them and make a larger one.

You can't create gravity lots, only taller buildings because of it. Craters can be made by the terraforming tools. The distance of the Sun can simulated by day-night mods. There are no little green men on Mars. There is a lot with the Spirit rover, but now Simtropolis is down.

On a more serious note though, a nice plop-able lava similar to the plop-able waters might not be a bad thing.  The MMP waters do get quite a bit of use in my game play.

There is no active lava flow found on Mars. All planets has an interior heat, that get reduced over time depending on their size. Large planets like Earth didn't cool down because they are large enough to keep their interior heat for a long time. Mars however is a geologically dead planet, so don't expect lava flows. Venus however has active lava flows, getting compressed by the huge atmospheric pressure.

There is however the possibility of water flows on the Martian surface. To recreate it on Mars, get SimMars, remove the SIMMARS_UI file (I think) and install any water MMP you wish.

This project is dead, so let's resurrect it! What? OK, let's be more clear...
I didn't like the result of it so I remove all my lots and restart the project. This time I'll use some extra dependencies for a more futuristic result. Something like this...

Looks great so far  &apls  I'm glad you've decided to use extra dependencies--people have done a lot of work making all those nice props and textures and it's a shame not to use them because some people on the STEX will inevitably complain about any dependencies (even though almost everyone is sure to have the two you're using). I say ignore them and make your lots the way you want.

As for the street lights, I suggest looking at the USL ones from kadlovag and mrtnlrn--there's a bunch of color options too, which could look nicely futuristic  ;)  You can find those files on the STEX.

Not sure what futuristic trees look like but I like the idea! Otherwise, I suggest replacing your Maxis trees with VIP or cycledog 2009 trees. Girafe's are awesome too but they're only available as flora, not props, and so are not much good for lotting.

QuoteMars however is a geologically dead planet, so don't expect lava flows

I'm not so sure about that one. Of course it's not as active as Earth and doesn't undergo the hypothesized periodic global resurfacing events of Venus, but there is significant evidence that Mars continues to undergo geologic changes. Specifically, in the Tharsis area (with all the big volcanoes and the massive plateau) I've read multiple sources saying tectonic or volcanic events have occurred on the time-scale of millions of years ago, quite recent on the time scale of the solar system. I actually wrote a paper a few years back on the topic if you're interested....

The City and the Stars (1956) is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke, which takes place a billion years in the future, in the city of Diaspar. In Diaspar, the entire city is run by the Central Computer. Not only is the city repaired by machines, but the people themselves are created by the machines as well. The computer creates bodies for the people of Diaspar to live in and stores their minds in its memory when they "die". At any time, only the 1% of these people are actually living in Diaspar, the rest 99% are retained, stored in the computer's memory banks. Because of this, all the currently existent people of Diaspar have had past "lives" within Diaspar. That's immortality... with some breaks.

Having this in my mind, I relot the first cemetery into a Memory Bank. No more burring the dead, because there are no dead people anymore. Only Sims that can live for a millennium and then take a rest, "sleeping" for some centuries.

Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's novel The City and the Stars (1956), all cemeteries replaced by Memory Banks and Halls of Creation. In the future, maybe in a not very far one, genetic engineering and nanotechnology will cancel the death and Sims will live for ever. This however will bring devastating psychological and overpopulation problems, but there is a solution.

A human being, like any other object, is defined by its structure, its pattern. The pattern of a human, and still more the pattern which specifies a human's mind, is incredibly complex. Yet Nature was able to pack that pattern into a tiny cell, too small for the eye to see. The D.N.A. from our hair contain enough informations to create a human. What Nature can do, humanity will also do it, in his own way. Genetics, quantum computers and nanotech will allow us to analyze and store all the informations that would define any specific human being, and to use that information to re-create the original one. Today we have C.D.s and U.S.B.s to store all song of Scorpions (just an example). Tomorrow we'll be able to store themselves, the disembodied patterns from which they could be called back into existence.

This is the way we'll have virtual immortality, yet avoided the problems raised by the abolition of death. 1,000 years in one body is long enough for any human. At the end of that time, his/her mind is clogged with memories and he/she asks only for rest... or a new beginning. The people in the future will not buried in cemeteries. They'll go back through their memories, editing them and canceling those they do not wish to keep. Then they'll walk into the Hall of Creation. There old bodies will cease to exist, and so will consciousness themselves. Nothing will be left of them, but a galaxy of electrons frozen in the heart of a crystal.

Then one day, perhaps 100,000 years from now, they'll find themselves in new bodies and lifestyles. They will have new and different friends and interests, but their old selves will still exist. In the cities of the future, only 1% of the citizens will live and walk in the streets. The rest 99% slumber in the Memory Banks, waiting for the signal that will call them forth onto the stage of existence once again. The result is continuity, yet change-immortality, but not stagnation.

In this future, the Maxis cemeteries will not fit at all. This is why I relot them into Memory Banks and Halls of Creation.This is the final version. Tell me what you think :)

I'm happy to see my terrible lots as O.S.I.T.M., and I'm happy to report that even more terrible lots are coming soon ;D

Let's keep on with the Barsoom Project. Building a city of the future on Earth? Established a colony on an extrasolar Earth-like planet, like Kepler 22-b? Did you finally terraform planet Mars? For any case, you need more futuristic buildings. Sadly however there are only a few of them, mostly plopable. Many folks made modern cities and then just add a spaceship and bang! A future city! No way... A chocolate chip in a vanilla cake is not enough to turn it into a chocolate cake. We need something more drastic and radical ;)

SimMars Beta 3 (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/25031-simmars-beta-3/) has tons of awesome buildings, but they are incompatible for green environments... until now. Memories of the Colonists (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27230-barsoom-project-part-1-memories-of-the-colonists/) is the first pack of the Barsoom Project. All buildings from SimMars will finally be compatible on green environments. No more red barren lots with dust, but green lots with grass, trees, Sims, birds etc. And this is only the first pack...

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.simtropolis.com%2Findex.php%3Fapp%3Ddownloads%26amp%3Bmodule%3Ddisplay%26amp%3Bsection%3Dscreenshot%26amp%3Brecord%3D98971%26amp%3Bid%3D27230%26amp%3Bfull%3D1&hash=694668b38084ddaa12eca8b93000b4f0189a2c45)

Now I'm working on the second pack, which will relot all hundreds Maxis lots. I began this project from last year, but now it's time for reworking. Until now the dependencies are Eagleland Project Lot Textures (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/22580-eagleland-project-lot-textures/), BLaM Overpath Props Volume 1 (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/18253-blam-overpath-props-volume-1/), BSC MEGA Props SG Vol 01 (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/15287-bsc-mega-props-sg-vol-01/), PEG-MTP SUPER PACK (http://www.simpeg.com/forum/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=409), PORKIE PROPS VOL1 EUROPEAN STREET ACCESSORIES (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/11421-porkie-props-vol1-european-street-accessories/), RadicalOne Studios Volvo VN770 Props (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/22531-radicalone-studios-volvo-vn770-props/), BSC MEGA Props CP Vol01 (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1180), Sim Mars Domes Props Only (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/14958-sim-mars-domes-props-only/) and Light Replacement Mod (LRM) v4.0 Mega Pack (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27200-light-replacement-mod-lrm-v40-mega-pack/).

With the use of the GridBuster series (http://www.simpeg.com/forum/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=687), we can break the grid and make the roads truly diagonal, like this:

Adopting those grid-buster fillers to SimMars is a great idea  &apls  The diagonals in the pictures with your new lots look much, much better. I've always enjoyed any kind of custom content that allows for better looking diagonal areas. Nice work on the Barsoom Project as well  :thumbsup:

... so here we go, an explanation-tutorial about reloting the Maxis lots. Just using a Maxis blocker to build future cities is easy, but how about changing all hundreds of lots?

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm8.staticflickr.com%2F7070%2F6874536089_532509b3ab.jpg&hash=27683c3724c2928d9ff372e0ba77ed0b12a5e41c)

My work as you can see is not just replacing the Maxis buildings with SimMars content, but bringing all the original lots to the word of tomorrow. Using the modern reality to predict the tomorrow reality is the reason of why the 1912 flocks didn't predict the United Nations and the Internet, so I need something different and awesome. This is why all lots will get the inspiration from the Venus Project (http://www.thevenusproject.com/en), the most complex and radical idea about the future. By declaring all natural resources as common legacy for everyone on Earth and by unlocking the powers of science, technology and human mind, problems like pollution and crime will be just bad jokes.

Making the resources common for all people, money will be useless. Poor and rich people will not exist anymore into the future, only people. This is why all my lots will be green, futuristic and without fences. Mansions and slums will still exist, because of the engine of Simcity 4, but ghettos and high society zones will not exist anymore. In fact, my project will turn the cities from this...

By having the ideas of V.P. in my mind, let's relot some lots. This is a stage 7 R$$ apartment building. In order to not mess too much with the development, the lot MUST be stage 7, no matter what.

So is there a SimMars apartment building, big enough for stage 7? Yes, there is. Let' replace the Maxis building with a SimMars one.

Cool, more futuristic diversity. You'll not have the same building taking over the city.

But what about lots with no suitable SimMars building? Here is an example, a stage 7 R$ apartment building. I test all R$ SimMars buildings, but the results were stage 8 or 6 or 5... you get it.

So the only solution is using a Maxis building, an as suitable as possible one, and remove the misery feeling from the lot. Here it is, trees and cleaner ground. To make it more realistic and less possible to be constructed, the building will appear only in corner.

"If technology does not liberate all people for the pursuit of higher aspirations in human achievement, then all its technical potential will be meaningless."
Jacque Fresco


The industries of the future will be much cleaner and mostly automatic, with robots doing all the dangerous and boring tasks. This is unacceptable in the modern monetary economy, but it's a vital part of the resource-based economy proposed by the Venus Project. The people of tomorrow will be free from slavery and deadly accidents.

Those "multi access industrial robots" will utilize vast information resources, which will enable them to receive commands via satellite up-link or on-site. They can also be designed to take appropriate actions in the absence of human directives, by combining an array of sensors and receivers with sophisticated decision making abilities. They will be capable of handling a wide range of industrial production tasks, and will be able to upgrade their level of service and replace defective or worn parts. These mega robots will communicate with one another to coordinate delivery of the required materials for each project.

At the same time, Nanotechnology will combines optics and lasers and eventually enable us to assemble matter, atom by atom, into whatever molecular structure is needed. Nanotechnology will lead to a sub-microscopic revolution in all fields, including the way in which we conduct human affairs.

Having those awesome ideas in my mind, I replace all Maxis dirty industries will SimMars buildings, while I also change their lots to make them suitable in future cities. Your "dirty" industries zones will contain mining operations, ore crushers and purification systems, laboratories, underground warehouses, mini spaceports, molecular modification and recycling systems, quantum computers, nanochemical elements and anything else. There are still some Maxis refineries, but they'll not appear often. All the industrial lots will have modular look, so they'll fit together and make more advance industrial complexes. Obviously all those lot are grownable. They're still dirty factories, so they'll still pollute the environment. Build some SimMars made air and water purificators to remove the pollution.

The monetary economic system is doomed to collapse. The Venus Project is proposing a resource based economy, a holistic socio-economic system in which all goods and services are available for all, without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is abundant with plentiful resource, but our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival.

Stock exchanges will obsoleted in the future, but we can replace them with Global Resource Management Quantum Computers who could tracking the resources of Earth (or the Solar System) and the needs of the people. Maybe I should work even more on this idea. Anyway, here is the stock exchange with a mini spaceport.

Time for an another useless update with new stupid stuff. I love the stairs like cities, because they can manage slopes with the best way. And they also look awesome. All you need is to flat the slopes and build some walls, something like this.

Those buildings can be as big and tall as you want. You can also give them any size you want. If you make them big enough, you can build facilities, neighbourhoods and even whole cities on them!! Use them to build full 3D cities, both raised and underground.

All I did was to take some of the Mas71 walls, remove the wall texture and add a water texture for the glass with a parking or park overlay texture for the wall. Obviously not the best ::) , so I found some cool Simcity 3000 textures (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27605-simcity-3000-texture-pack/) to play with them. This will bring a retro style to the buildings as well ;D . Then I'll make those textures available for the Lot Editor. Any tutorial for this? ()what()

I found this tutorial (http://www.simtropolis.com/omnibus/_/simcity-4/modding-information/how-to-create-and-mod-textures-r180) to make my textures. I'm in Step 5 and I don't know how to make my own .dat file. A little help please?
Furthermore, the link of SC4Tool about the textures IID is broken &mmm

First of all, if you start making your own textures it's wise indeed to apply for a personal ID range over here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=2101.msg433791#msg433791) to avoid conflicts.

Secondly I had a look at the tutorial over at Simtrop and the methods described are a bit outdated, in particular using the SC4Tool. Though it's still a usefull tool in some occasions, I would suggest start using <a href="http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2255">Null45's FSH2PNG tool</a>. Not only does it automatically create minmaps for each zoomlevel, it'll also save it conveniently into a .dat file.

Finally mrbisonm wrote a texture creation tutorial over here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=13944.msg401978#msg401978). It's easy to follow and should take care of all your texturing needs.  :)

Oh and I almost forgot to mention this idea of yours is pretty neat, it makes for very interesting cities.  :thumbsup:

Sorry for the double post ()lurker()

I just finished with the diagonal textures and make all of them available to the game. Have in mind that I used the SimCity 3000 Texture Pack (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27605-simcity-3000-texture-pack/) to make my textures, so I didn't made them from scratch. Also I made them with M.S. Paint. Bad idea, because the diagonal textures doesn't look as smooth and realistic as they should. Don't worry, I'll remake them soon. So let's go to the today update &dance

The only way I can think about night lighting is adding invisible props in front of the textured windows and make them glow in the dark, but probably they will not look very nice &Thk/(
Or maybe we can replace the textures themselves with props, but perhaps it will look funny in the slopes &Thk/(

Build rooftop aerodromes and watch the planes land above those buildings. The passengers will be transported to and from the airport by conveyors in those buildings, while many of the terminals themselves will also be inside those buildings.

The waterfall is a little weird, though no need for window cleaning I guess.  :D

Anyhow, I imagine with multi-level transit systems and perhaps slighty improved upon textures (or at least some variation, you might want to look into making multi-fsh textures) it's possible to build pretty futuristic cities. I must say the second pic already looks dazzling to me, though the sweeping tube-transit (maglev?) next to the Big Ben is kinda crazy as well - the good kinda crazy that is.  ;)

What? Let me explain.

The Maxis team made a small variety of parks, that can be placed alone or in compilation. Of course more variations are always welcomed. On the other hand, there was not any trail path for our parks. Until now, there are tons of sets with differed trail paths and parks, everyone with it's own strategy and ability. However you can't have all those parks because they can't fit each other. For instance, the trail paths and parks made by B.S.C. team and Pegasus have both cool stuff, but they can't fit together. So I took the best of them and relot them, to fit better in my cities.

How? What style I choose? Do be honest, I don't like the too much civilized parks, like this...

I hate them! >:( :bomb:
They are too much clean, too much symmetric, too much perfect, too much boring! A park should bring the nature itself to the city, not a parody of it. Nature and technology should be one thing, a mix of culture and environment. Something like this...

It wouldn't really need to be transit enabled, just have it appear to have a road or rail going into it, like many non transit enabled lots have.  But TE'd would be better, but if not, just appearing would be nice, as then it look better as there is entrance ways into the underground building

Nice park as well

mike3775 gave me a very nice idea about the Future Walls. How about entry way for roads? &idea I played with this idea, trying to make a transit enable cosmetic piece. Transit enable walls are possible. You can see cars entering the building and exit from it. However they deform the ground. The taller the building, the bigger the effect. Check those pictures to see what I mean.

An another idea is to play with NDEX Tunnelpack ROAD version (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/24195-ndex-tunnelpack-road-version/). They don't deform the ground and looks nice. The buildings will look a bit like bunkers, but who cares? :D I can make a special texture for those tunnels, if you approve this idea. Maybe I can use the same way for railroads as well. What next? Future Walls that act like passenger and freight train stations? &bis&

There are 2 reasons of using the word "terrible". 1) It's a kind of rhyme with "Terring". Terring's terrible. You got it ;D 2) It's a satire about an interesting trend, the quest of extreme realism. You know, the way of building that's declared war to creativity and discourage the out of the box thinking.

"What are you doing there? Don't do this, it's not realistic!" :P :P

With Future Walls, this concept is possible. Make some transportation systems, rise some hills, turn them into buildings and build a system of elevated walkways. If you want, you can connect them for very interesting results :)

 :o  That second waterscraper pic really hits on some awesome optical illusion potential - building one of these "islands" and covering the top with Lots made to look like glass roofing, giving a peak into the interior depths of the building. Throw in some high-transparency water mod and some offset-prop Lots to give these things satellite buildings and you can make a whole mini-city this way, little bursts of civilization strung across a whole archipelago of artificial islands!

Thank you very much for your birthday wishes and let me wish you a better year for everybody &dance

Before anything else, turn on this song to catch the feeling ;D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkxbbfIg8uQ

As you can see, the Barsoom Project is still going. I promised you more stuff and here we are, future farms! Before we see the pictures, let me explain the philosophy behind the lots. I'll be honest and feel free to hate me. I don't like the classic farms!

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffoodfreedom.files.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F11%2Ffarm.jpg&hash=ffe08abac18706882a1feec0a22b68a6defb4d5c)

Why? They waste too much land, too much water, too much time and too much natural resources, in order to produce low quantity and quality food, usually full of pesticides which are dangerous for the environment and the public health. The farms of the future however will be safer, cleaner and more efficient. How? With the wise use of superior technology.

So how the farms will be in the future? All farms will use robots for almost all activities. An artificial intelligence will monitor the farms and warn the "farmers" for any situation. Most plants will grown in indoor environments, which will be perfectly adjustable for the plants needs. The plants will be also protected by bad weather and pests, thanks to the enclosed environments. Here and there in the agricultural zones, laboratories will research new methods to upgrade the quantity and quality of food, speeding up the production, without requiring too much needs and without bringing problems to the environment and the public health.

The farms of the future will be scientific, not romantic. And I love it. So hate me ()lurker()

Let's go now to the ex Maxis lots. All lots now upgraded from romantic farms, to sophisticated factory "farms". I used all SimMars buildings (including some unused) and I also made some extra lots for more variety. From 24 lots, to 53 lots. No more boring repetition. Here we can see all stage 1 farms...

Ahh, the beautiful future. Nanotechnology, genetic engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, quantum computers, laboratories, smart use of topic conditions (including domes and skyfarms) and exotic technologies. But what about products made by animals and not by plants, like eggs and meat? Livestocks will still exist in the future. This time however will be fewer, cleaner and more efficient, without killing too much animals. With cloning technology, it will be possible for a cow to produce as meat as 10 cows. All you need is to take a small piece of meat and use the cloning technology to turn it into steaks, beef and anything else you want. It could be also possible with genetics, to turn plants into meat. Steak from corn! ;D

Having this in my mind, I made 3 livestocks for Simcity. They'll use llamas, horses, cows, chickens for...

llamas --> meat, wool, milk
horses --> meat, genetic mutated transportation
cows --> meat, milk
chickens --> meat, eggs

The mod is very far from finished. There are hundreds of lots I need to relot and this is a truly pain to my neck. For now I can only release the farms and the dirty industries, but I will not. I prefer to upload all lots at once in a mega pack, not just a set every time. I also have many things to do in my life, like learning driving and finding a job.

The thing is, that there's a trend towards organic products and that we have to keep the architectural past. SciFi only creates antisocial things like that strange and dangerous sect that was founded by Lafayette schwHubbert

Post by: Terring7 on February 11, 2013, 02:51:29 PM
I'm not against organic products or having some older buildings still stand up. Relics from the past will always give a character in the cities, even in the distant future, unless if we're talking about cities made by scratch with no touch of history. Athens will still have Parthenon, Paris will still have Eiffel Tower and New Υork will still have the Statue of Liberty, even after 10,000 years (unless if for any reason moved or destroyed). But to be honest, stuck in the past is very boring! We're living in a society with futuristic technologies and with prehistoric theories. The whole civilization is full of old believes that doesn't make any sense anymore, because the human race is evolving, the nature is evolving, everything are evolving. Sure it's vital to learn our history and to not repeat our mistakes. But if something is too old and inefficient, upgrade it or trash it. The past can be useful, but too much of it is boring and even dangerous. This is why I love science fiction, because is anarchic and liberate both mind and soul. So... let's be a little wild ;)

Those days I'm working on reloting the rest of Maxis rewards. Here are 3 of them, more are coming soon. The missile range is fully upgraded. This time it can manufacture missiles and use them to test new technologies, including better engines and aerodynamic shapes. Because those missiles are experimental, misfires can happen which can hit your city and destroy several buildings.

Great work on those lots. :thumbsup:
For the golf court I would've used other trees than the Maxis ones. There is something wrong with the shadows as you might see. For the seaport props, the first that came in my mind were Jestarr Megaprops Vol1 (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=342) and Jestarr Megaprops Vol2 (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=338), but I'm sure there are many others around on the exchanges. I think four stairs for the cruise ship is a bit too much. Perhaps two would be enough.

Time for a personal project and a vital lesson I learned during reloting. In capitalsim.net we can find the building of Tyrell Corporation from the movie Blade Runner. This huge building is perfect for SimMars colonies...

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1063.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ft513%2Fpatatas2%2FEvolution-7-7May951334053850.jpg&hash=7547a6417c911fb698327617ab223e926e54dde7)

... but it's empty red base doesn't fit on SimEarth cities. So I decide to relot is, by removing the large red props that cover the base and adding true textures. The plan was to add pavement for the base of the structures and grass to fill the empty areas. The original lot was 55x55 large, so I should add 3025 textures to fill the lot! And yes, I did it!! The result should be an arcology with parks. In Lot Editor everything was fine, but in Simcity...

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg163.imageshack.us%2Fimg163%2F5862%2Fnewcity22jan09136308577.jpg&hash=eccf6a52506cf4db3ccf8c1bd4bb28a322972c79)

Missing textures? I spend so much time for this? So I had a theory and an idea to test it. I break the lot into 3 smaller, 1 for the central building and 2 for the smaller that surrounds it. The result was a 38x40 and two 7x7 lots, making the Tyrell Corporation building modular and more flexible. And this time, no missing textures.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg713.imageshack.us%2Fimg713%2F1346%2Fnewcity10jan08136309629.jpg&hash=cd70d0af9b8d5c368a9f8431125095a81cf9ac9e)

But let's have a look ta the Lot Editor.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg849.imageshack.us%2Fimg849%2F4341%2F1250u.jpg&hash=e6d6327309c56f728bd2222800c80bc665fcf157)

Missing textures? AHA! I knew that something interesting is going on. I encountered a similar problem long ago and now I'm sure that the Lot Editor has limits. You can't make the lots as big and as heavy as you want. Well, you can... but they'll not work in the game.

Long ago I discovered that there is a limit in the props number you can add in a lot. While in L.E. you can still add props even after you've hit the limit, save the lot and exit without getting any error, the L.E. will remove the last added props that were above the limit. So if after exiting L.E. you decide to restart it and reopen the lot, you would find the lot in L.E. with missing props. According to Paeng in SimPeg.com, 256 props is the maximum number that a lot can hold.

Today I discovered a similar limit for the textures as well. According to my calculations, the limit is 1250 textures in a single lot. While in L.E. you can still add textures even after you've hit the limit, save the lot and exit without getting any error, the L.E. will remove the last added textures that were above the limit. So if after exiting L.E. you decide to restart it and reopen the lot, you would find the lot in L.E. with missing textures.

So a single lot can hold up to 256 props and 1250 textures. Can anybody else confirm it?

On your Tyrell Corporation relot...

Have you tried just using the textures/overlay textures to put the building on a large concrete slab?  That would make it work in both Mars and Earth colonies and not look out of place.  In fact, if you could do that and maybe a few street lamps it might look really good.

Such a large building would not doubt require a very large and sturdy foundation, and one could safely assume that the complex would also have a subterranean feature as well (think of a large underground labratory).  So a large concrete footing would not look out of place at all.

That particular lot is almost a must have for anyone that wants to do a futuristic or Sci-Fi type city.  ;)

Yeah, I've missed a few updates.  Was hard to justify visiting when I couldn't even get SC4 to work.  Finally fixed it though.  :)

Thanks for the comments folks. I didn't want a general lot for the Tyrell Corporation to fit on both Earth and Mars, just a specific one for Terran cities. Still however the Lot Editor has limits on how much textures you can add. I already tried it of course &mmm

I would like to update my workshop every time I relot a specific number of lots. Today I didn't had something better to do and I relot all stage 8 R$$ lots. The next update will uploaded when a new stage will be ready. Have in mind however that some stages have an enormous amount of lots, which may support an enormous amount of SimMars buildings as well. So don't expect a new update every week or every day.

Hi Elias,

About the max props: I once tried to make a large railyard full of railway wagons and other props. After having saved it in LE and plopped it in game I found out too the hard way: half of my hard work of that evening had disappeared.
I didn't count myself, but I always thought that 256 entries was the maximum. So I thought 1 building and then 255 props plus textures. I am glad the number is a bit higher, although this makes enormous lots, which is not always practical.
Anyway, I think you could make the Tyrell lot in such a way that you only put textures where they are visible. LotEditor wants you to put textures everywhere, but SC4-Pim does not. In that case it would be enough to put textures around the edges. The center is covered by the building, so you can make the lot a bit smaller in filesize.

I'm sorry for criticisms but those low density lots are a bit too open. You need to make them more compact and add a garden in the backyard. What a waste of space. I like lots with details. And the garden in the backyard is absolutely necessary because people grow their own food.

Mixing nature with technology is one of the things I always have in mind every time I relot the Maxis lots. This is why I always add a lot of natural elements in my lots, like ponds and forests, in order to make future cities like this...

Too much green? You know that they say. The more, the merrier (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMFFfsXLlbA) ;D

I need your ideas guys. The Maxis trash bins props are too dirty, boring and modern for Barsoom Project, so I need a replacement of them. Something more futuristic, or at least modern. I found in the Dutch Prop Pack (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/28522-dutch-prop-pack/) an underground glass container that can be very useful and more suitable. I prefer them, but I also want your opinions. What do you think? Is this better than the classic trash bins?

I think however that the Dutch underground containers fit very nicely for an Automated Vacuum Waste Collection (A.V.A.C.) system. This system transports waste at high speed through underground tunnels to a collection station where it is compacted and sealed in containers. When the container is full, it is transported away and emptied. The system helps facilitate separation and recycling of waste. Garbage trucks will be a thing of the past in the future ;D

I'm, back! Did you miss me? I'm sure not...

Now that everything is fixed, It's time to keep on with Barsoom Project and more Maxis-made reloted rewards. They're not in their final shape, so feel free to suggest.

This is the movie studio. As you can see, it's not ready yet. I'll replace the Maxis road with something better and fill the empty spaces with... I don't know. Feedbacks are welcomed.

Not many changes in the mayor stadium, just adding a few trees to make it a little more attractive.

This is the new zoo. Thanks to holograms and virtual reality, there's no reason to keep animals in cages. You can now watch the animals in real time and in their natural environments. Fox example, you can see free lions without visiting Africa. Something like planetarium, a live one.

So I guess I missed in somebodies :D

I upgraded the above buildings, so I hope you enjoy them. If not, feel free to propose. Probably I'll add more details, like trash bins and more benches.

The movie studio is ready and better. We already have digital 3D movies. In the future, we'll have holographic movies in virtual reality cinemas (if they'll still exist). So how about a large building, instead of a chaotic collection of studios and sceneries?

Good job on those lots! I really like the zoo in particular. Great choice of the Guggenheim(s) as the building. It works well even for non-futuristic cities, too. I always thought the Maxis zoo was just unrealistically tiny, and I know there's a modular zoo out there, but this idea of a VR zoo is great for denser cities, not to mention animal-friendly!  ;D

I made some decisions about the rewards. I'm not going to relot the maximum security prison, because there is no lot to play with it. The lot is as big as the building and I can't do anything for it. Increasing the size of the lot? This will make the replacement painful. And if I remember correctly, there are already a few relots of the jail. So no reason to relot the jail.

The city hall is too old and ugly to play with it. Every attempt to make the lot more futuristic will make it worse. Besides, the part 1 of Barsoom Project (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27230-barsoom-project-part-1-memories-of-the-colonists/) already has 2 awesome futuristic city halls. One of them overrides the Maxis one.

As about the state fair, that's a tricky question. An old fashion state fair surrounded by futuristic farms doesn't make any sense. After all, maybe in the future the usage of virtual reality and the Internet will obsolete the need of state fairs, so I could relot it into a high tech facility. But isn't a bit too much?

I'm sorry for my previous pictures who uploaded into Photobucket, but I can't afford upgrading my account yet. My bandwidth limit will reset in almost 20 days. After then, the pictures will be visible again. Again, I'm sorry for that.

All stage 5 R$ lots are ready!

Hold on a second! Does this means that I finally relot ALL low wealth lots?

Let me celebrate this milestone of Barsoom Project by building a low wealth city. Remember, all lots you're going to see are low wealth and reloted by me. Total 878 low wealth lots. And I'm not even in the halfway...

I just made a very interesting discovery and I want to share it with you ;D . Have a look at this lot. This lot is 3x3, made by the Maxis team and reloted by me. It's a medium wealth office. Try to figure out it's stage.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.majhost.com%2Fgallery%2FTerring%2FSimcity%2Fnew_city-2_jan.__001377941747.jpg&hash=68035cd9f3d2094b93cad3f5c75926d9ab4a62ab)

Even better, answer this question. Where this small SimMars skyscraper will be constructed? In a low, medium or high density zone? Here is a small hint. The rest SimMars medium wealth offices will be constructed in the same stage as well.

I have finished with all stage 4 CO$$$ lots. Sadly none of the SimMars buildings could fit. Some of them downgrade those lots to stage 2 or 1, while others upgrade them to stage 5 and above. Only a few Maxis buildings could keep those lots in stage 4. Every lot has it's own stage and I want to keep it as it is, no matter what. This means that a few Maxis buildings will still be constructed. This is something I can "fix" it with the third and final part of Barsoom Project, but it's too early to even speak about it.

Anyway, here are the lots.

But this update is not an ordinary one. Electronic Arts announced the first expansion pack for SimCity! Yeah, they solved the bugs and now they're ready to make expansions as well... who will still be incomplete and require Internet connection to build your tiny villages. Anyway, this expansion titled "Cities of Tomorrow" and will hit store selves on November 12. You guess right, we're talking about Anno 2070 in Simcity, with mult-zone MegaTowers that are three times the height of the tallest SimCity skyscraper.

As a futurism nerd I am, I really want to have a look at it. Bust since I don't even want to buy the new Simcity, I'll keep going with my project. In fact, I'll try to speed it up and release the part 2 of Barsoom Project on November 12. I can't guarantee anything, but at least I'll try.

Don't worry, you'll not have the same building over and over again. It's a family building, so you'll have different buildings in the same lots. Like this one.

I have an idea and I want your suggestions. I found a set of Japanese signs (http://hide-inoki.com/bbs/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=721) and I wonder if it's a good idea to use them. How? Check this out. I would like to add general informational signs in corner lots. Those signs will appear in medium and high density lots, like in large offices and apartment buildings. What do you think?

They're nice signs, however, I'd refrain using them. Signage is better added via T21s onto the actual transit networks. Besides, why would the Japanese be the only people to colonize space?! You could add some billboards though, there're plenty of those out there.

At any rate, you're making good progress lately. Keep it up!  &apls

Thank you Vortext. To be honest, I really want to use those signs, even if they're Japanese and a bit uncontrollable to build. But I like the idea of billboards. I have found a few of them (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23596-simmars-billboard-pack/) and I'll test them.

I have finished with all stage 3 CS$$$ lots.

By using various SimMars props, I made a set of plopable decorative buildings. They're part of Barsoom Project, so I'll release them too. This is not the final shape. Maybe I'll make more lots or change the exist ones. The set includes apartment buildings, small houses, warehouses, houses for desert sceneries, underground plazas, domed parks, floating spacecrafts, spaceports and not only.

I'm working on low density CO$$ lots. Here is something to tease you. This is a stage 3 CO$$ lot. The lot has a medium size parking lot and a boring Maxis building.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm4.staticflickr.com%2F3735%2F10384983244_63bc56f4b8_o.jpg&hash=7e3c780cab01ac8d21566663e42814e7d26a3269)

No matter what, I have to keep this lot in stage 3. Fortunately, there is a cool SimMars building that can be useful. Have a look at it. This one is on piles and it has a small parking space just under of it.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm4.staticflickr.com%2F3677%2F10385019315_733c518238_o.jpg&hash=b4eada7288f867c8db8112744ebac38b23aa5498)

If a lot (like this one) has a large enough parking space, I always replace it with a large underground garage. Let's do this and place this building over the garage entrance/exit.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm8.staticflickr.com%2F7436%2F10385008365_6ae76e5fb1_o.jpg&hash=a8bcd5ded4a6d9cb977161dafa4473fefcf544f5)

So now we have an underground garage with a building hanging over it's entrance/exit, instead of a larger surface parking lot. This means more open space for gardens and lakes!

Something like this!

I have finished with all stage 2 and 3 CO$$ lots. This means that I've finished with all low density CO$$ lots. The new lots will have gardens, parked electric cars, underground garages, lakes with swans and ducks, spaceports, trail paths, floating buildings, parked hydrogen-fueled trucks and skyscrapers. I'm dead serious. Skyscrapers in low density zones! And no, I didn't mod them.

Let me be focused on the medium density R$$$ lots. I have reasons.Even if I have reloted all mow density R$$$ lots, Sims are still constructing ugly mansions. Those mansions however are actually medium density, no low density! Just look at them. Ugly architecture, useless fences, everything is wrong.

But the best part is that all Maxis mansions, that originally constructed in the low density zones, are finally out of the game! No more huge boxy mansions in our low density neighborhoods. I have discovered that those buildings should been constructed in medium density zones, since they are in stage 4 lots. But you still have them to pop up and ruin your neighborhoods! Not anymore, as you can see. There are a few mods that just blocks those mansions, but mine kills them!

Thanks :) . No, I didn't made any of the props I'm using.

Time for something different. If you like it, I'll add it in my Barsoom Project. Here is the military base, made by Maxis and reloted by me. I didn't used all SimMars military equipment available because I didn't want to overload it. This military base is actually an urban outpost, with a heliport, a walker, a mobile laser platform and a few tanks. Just a few stuff.

But how about a powerful army base, with all SimMars equipment and a few extra for variety? How about an epic base? Well, here it is.

Yeah, that last one was a smack in the face. How many times I plopped that one! :D

Thanks for bringing back those memories Elias. Keep up your work.

Thanks Willy. Barsoom Project will have a tough of nostalgia. For instance, I have relot the toxic waste dump into a toxic waste factory, an idea based on Simcity 3000 ;D

I have finished with all stage 8 R$$$ lots. At last, all R$$$ lots has been reloted!

Yeah, ugly Maxis buildings! Trust me, those monsters are the biggest R$$$ buildings I could use for the 4x2 lots. But at least I rotate them, so their garages will now be connected to the road.

As about the rest of them, we have redwoods and buildings hanging over lakes, plazas and gardens. By the way, from now I'll use a new dependency pack, Murimk Props Vol02 (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/25888-murimk-props-vol02/). I like the corners with the benches and the underpasses. I think I'll use them more often.

This is the Hydro Launch Arcology (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/18663-hydro-launch-arcology/), made by Hydromancerx. As you can see, it's basically a miniature landmark version of the legendary Launch Arcology from Simcity 2000.

The building is decent. It looks like the Arcology is going to be launched to space. The lot however is empty and boring, so let's change it a bit with redwoods, lakes, underground parking e.t.c.

I have finished with all stage 3 I$$ lots. As you can see most of the manufacturing industries are shipyard and spacecrafts factories. For once again we have underground facilities, robotic carriers, spaceports, trees, tanks, flowers, modular designs and a few relics from the past.

Wow, what a weekend. I have finally finished my English exams for the Lower degree and my plans is to keep on for the Proficiency as well. I feel I was prepared enough for the exams, so let's hope for the best. Let me celebrate it... by making lots!

I'm keep on reloting all Maxis industrial lots those days, but I feel I miss something. Decorative fillers. Inspired by Paeng's Grunge Concrete Set (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/26425-paengs-grunge-concrete-set/), Industrial Revolution Mod - I-HT Filler Set 1 (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/28302-industrial-revolution-mod-i-ht-filler-set-1/) and Modular Containers Lots Set (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/28734-modular-containers-lots-set/), I've made a small set of fillers for the industrial zones. This includes driving alleys, nuclear factories, empty fillers and freight airships. Most probably I'll make more lots.

Last week I received this mail:

Hello, terring,

This email is to inform you that your files have been chosen to appear in the upcoming STEX Collector's Volume 5 disc which will be sent out as gifts to those who help support the site.
The files that we have selected of yours to appear in this collection are:

    Barsoom Project (Part 1 - Memories of the Colonists)

If for any reason you do not wish your files -- in whole or in part -- to be included in this collection, please reply to this email and let us know.
Otherwise, no further action is required, and we just want to say thanks for allowing us to include your files. We only release these discs once every couple of years as a way to give thanks to those folks who help contribute to paying the operating costs for the community.
Sincerely - Dirktator, Webmaster & the STEX Disc Team


I'm not kidding. The part 1 (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27230-barsoom-project-part-1-memories-of-the-colonists/) of Barsoom Project will be included in the STEX Collector's Volume 5 disc. Seriously, this is something I couldn't ever even imagined that! I'm so happy for this and I want to thank everybody who's responsible for this achievement, from the followers to the users of Barsoom Project. Thank you everybody.

And also I've finished with all stage 3 I$$$ lots. Now we have plenty of prefab factories, robotic forklifts, photosynthetic laboratories, huge warehouses and spaceports.

Thank you very much :)

It's my birthday today, so let me give you a small present. I have reloted all stage 1 and 2 I$$$ lots. Yeap, all high tech industries are ready for action. They have a generic feel, just like my dirty industries, so you can imagine in what they're working. Some of them maybe are laboratories for medical nanorobots or faster-than-light spacecraft engines, or they may produce synthetic skin, genetic mutated pets, quantum computers or positronic brains for the robots, or maybe they're experimenting on antimatter usages or virtual reality or... anything you want! Just let your imagination free. They also have the same SimMars futuristic texture, so it's very easy to combine them and build mega facilities. For once again, most of the activities take place underground, so what you see is a small fraction of what you'll get. Anyway, here are a few pictures.

Of course I'm always open for new ideas, for as long as they're awesome. And I'll need your ideas for the satellite dishes. The Maxis-made dishes are ugly, so I'm thinking about using the satellite dish from RT SNM Vol03 (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=274). I think it's more realistic. What do you think?

All stage 2 I$$ lots have been reloted. For once again, we have warehouses, spaceports, underground facilities, satellite dishes e.t.c.

Thank you very much vortext :)

By finishing all stage 1 I$$ lots, I'm happy to report that all industrial lots have been futurized! Almost all Maxis-made factories have been replaced my SimMars industries. All industrial lots will have the same style and texturing, in order to combine them and make mega facilities. Because of their generic look, it's easy to build anything you want. Nanotechnology laboratories? Genetic engineering facilities? Cavorite (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cavorite) manufactures? Prefab house industries? Mining operations? Positronic brains creators? 3D printers? Teleporting antennas? Cybernetics factories? Anything else? With only a little imagination, you can have anything you wish. And since most of the action takes place underground, free your wildest imaginations!

Anyway, here are all stage 1 I$$ lots. Satellite dishes, spaceports, spaceports, underground garages, antennas e.t.c.

If everything goes well, the second part of Barsoom Project will be released somewhere in 2014. It may also have a few surprises. Here is one of them, a basic set of trail paths. I'm sure you have better trail paths than those I've made. I also have better paths than those. But if you don't have any trail path set and you're a bit too lazy for downloading or making, here is a basic set for you to play. Those red paths are SimMars overlay textures. That's right, Martians paths on Earth ;D

The holiday season is over, so I guess I'll start my little project soon enough. But before that, let me wish you a better new year... oh wait, too cliche. Instead, let me encourage you to create a better year.

Let me show you some work I have made, just for my fun. Every time I download a growable building, I open the Lot Editor to change it's lot a bit. My goal is simple, to futurize them as much as possible in the way I like, a cyberpunk-Utopian mix. And no, I'm not going to upload them. Hope that you like them. Oh by the way, the next update of Barsoom Project will be very important for me, because I have a dilemma and I'll really want your opinions. Until then... enjoy ;D

I'm reading for English studies those days, so I didn't had time to work on Barsoom Project. However I found some time to make some relots. 2 of my favorite plugins are the Diagonal Intersection RoadTop SubwayBus Station (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/14010-diagonal-intersection-roadtop-subwaybus-station/) set and the Street and Road End functional Parkings (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=113) set. Here are my versions, with futuristic cars, no fences, trees and traffic signs in the middle of the road... on traffic islands of course.

I hope that you like them. If you have a good idea, suggest it. Have in mind though that the above lots are only for my personal use. In the next days I'll try to keep on working on Barsoom Project. Specifically I'll try to relot all malls and the airports. I'll need your ideas.

I'm working on the malls those days. I have some cool ideas so I'll need your help. This is a medium wealth Maxis-made mall. It's a classic boxy building, siting on a stage 1 6x6 lot with a huge parking lot.

And here are my versions of the same lot. Futuristic SimMars-made malls, with an underground garage and surrounded by gardens and a pond. Those lots will be included in Barsoom Project.

So here are my ideas. How about underground malls as well? Let your Sims build them and you'll get a huge underground mall!

And how about using The Living Mall as well? Hmm, too big isn't?

What do you think? If you want them, you'll have to download Plugin Landmark Props (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/21286-plugin-landmark-props/), Sunken Plazas - Mall Set (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=433), Sunken Plazas - Tree Plaza2 (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=435) and PEG Subterranean Mall (http://www.simpeg.com/forum/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=4). I can guess that while my idea will bring some extra variety in the commercial zones, it will also force you to get some more dependencies.

So what do you think?

Actually, yes. Now we're talking about homes! But before that, here are 2 thing I want to report. First of all, remember my suggestion about underground malls?

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm4.staticflickr.com%2F3740%2F12071035664_196ea7fb74_o.jpg&hash=5ab069c13523a8c915065c7bc31d6617f6f4a821)

Yeah, I have to scrap this idea. I don't want my mod to get too excessive. Furthermore, it's pointless. You need to download a few plopable malls as dependencies to get their props in those growable lots. But if you already have those malls as propable, so you can build them anywhere you wish, what's the point of having them as growable as well?

At the same time, I made a new set of parks to give some variety to the cities of tomorrow. Some of those parks are actually recreations of Simcity 3000 parks. Can you find them?

I'm not kidding. At last, all Maxis-made residential lots have been futurized. Say goodbye to the last of the Maxis-made realistic modern homes and say hello to the SimMars-made futuristic prefab homes. I have finished with the rest medium wealth lots. It took me so long because there are plenty of medium wealth lots and plenty of medium wealth SimMars houses. There are so many lots that I can show you only a few of them, as well as all the buildings you'll get depending on the size and the stage of the lots.

I think it's time to get back to the project and relot, this time, the 3 Maxis-made airports. I have 2 ideas and I want your opinions. How should I change the airports?

The first option is something simple. Keep the airport as it is, but replace a few things. Futuristic aircrafts and hangars, underground expansions, a bit larger runways e.t.c. An ordinary prefab near future airport. Something like this...

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1063.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ft513%2Fpatatas2%2FFutura-25Apr981331819524.jpg&hash=8cf5feb4ba3d12e946e2ba36bcb0e42f792b6d57)

The second option is more radical. Replace the airports with vertiports. Vertical Take Over and Land (VTOL) aircrafts and spacecrafts, no runways, underground hangars e.t.c. A prefab distant future spaceport. Something like this...

Post by: Terring7 on March 03, 2014, 06:12:14 AM
Thanks. It's as big as the original university. 10x12 I think.

Remember the old days, before the creation of the modular airports? Back then, the only way to build an airport is by using the Maxis-made airports. The first selection was usually the small landing strip. You build it in small towns in order to bring more customers and tourists.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wiki.sc4devotion.com%2Fimages%2Fthumb%2F4%2F41%2FSmall_Landing_Strip.png%2F800px-Small_Landing_Strip.png&hash=18d5ea86a5a6ae3596b28ffa41c70b208d5c8030)

Nowadays only a few people still use it. It's too small and it can't be compared with the new custom-made airports. This poor little airport has been abandoned by almost everybody and that's sad. So it's time to make a serious change and bring it back, this time as a futuristic vertiport!

A vertiport is an airport for Vertical Take Over and Land (V.T.O.L.) aircrafts. Vertiports doesn't use too much land and they can be constructed everywhere, even on tops of buildings.

And this is for what I'm talking about. The small Maxis-made airports has been replaced by a fully functional vertiport.

Because it doesn't have runways, you can build it even in the middle of a downtown. Your Sims will not get worried about landing aircrafts soaring above their heads.

Same strategy with the rest of the airports as well. No more runways! If you still want them, get some modular airports and make them.

FrankU's attempt to relot the marina inspired me to do the same. The Maxis-made marina is the most annoying reward in the game, because it's very difficult to find the perfect location to build it. Here is why. The size of the lot is 1x6. The first tile has a land "mark". This means that this tile must be placed on land. The second one is empty, so it can be either on land or in water. The rest of the tiles have a water "mark", so they must be placed in water. Because of this, the second tile must be in the coast, in the land-water transition. Now try to find the best place to build it!

My first idea was to remove some of the water "marks", in order to have one land tile and one water tile. This will make the construction of the marina much easier. And since we're talking about the future, let's use some of the airport terminals props I have already used in my vertiport and turn the marina into a futuristic indoor pier. The result?

... and take it to extreme. Let's make it futuristic (short of) and in land. Let's turn the marina into a cool navigation control center.

And believe it or not, it will still deploy boats and hang gliders! It's even possible to make a few UDI missions.

You can build the navigation control center anywhere you wish. My recommendation is to build it on flat land and close enough to water bodies, next to ferry ports. Something like this...

Hi Elias,

I try not to sound rude, but I think you should reconsider the concept of your maze.
Mazes usually have very narrow paths and high hedges.
The heigth of the hedges can be turned up by putting two hedge prop on top of each other, but the width of the paths is a very different matter. You should at least halve them, but may be even quarter (can we say that in English? Yes, because I just did, but is it considerd understandable speak?)

We know you can do better!

Narrow paths are a bit too claustrophobic for me and I also want the maze to be a truly park and not just a maze. This is the reason why I like the paths to be wide.

Now that my first attempt to make a maze have been released (even though remake), let me try again and make a new maze. This time it has less trees, flower beds instead of hedges, more bridges, benches in random places and various objects like a fountain and rocks. It's not exactly a maze, since you can find the exit very easily, but it's a nice way to play, walk and have picnics. And yes, it's going to be included in Barsoom Project. I hope that you like it.

Fortunately most of my work have been saved, but not some of my recent lots like my labyrinth. I think I have saved my vertiports, right? I hope, because it's very annoying to recreate them. But at least I know how, so recreating them will be much easier.

And I'm happy for that, because I have plenty of new ideas, such as thorium reactors, agricultural cloning plants, genetic smelters, trade depots with small vertiports for flying freight transporters, robotic industrial plants, cranes and spaceports that utilizes antigravity engines, central quantum computers, green roofs, mine operations that uses microbes instead of boreholes, and cybernetic enhancement devices, all using 100% futuristic dependency packs such as NH Props V1 1 (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/29958-nh-props-v1/) and METMW: Prop Pack Beta (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/30780-metmw-prop-pack-beta/).
And I can't wait to send this crappy laptop back to the fires of Hell! ()flamdev()

Some of you might have noticed that I'm finally back. I've got a new PC (A HP Slimline with Windows 10) back on May 2018, I got a new digital copy of Simcity 4 on June from GOG.com and after more than 4 years I can finally play my favorite game, build my cities and make my own lots. This means that Barsoom Project will be back on track. But hold your horses. I don't have the free time I used to have back in 2014 (the last time I played Simcity) because of my job. I'm translating from English to Greek and adding subtitles to various episodes of Discovery Network series, such as How The Universe Works and NASA's Unexplained Files. A lot of work, but still not a lot of income. Lack of time means that Barsoom Project is not going to be completed anytime soon. But that doesn't stop me from making some progress and some experiments. And today, after 2 years since my last post (the previous PC, although repaired, was still crappy), I'll be showing you a personal project that has been in my head since the very beginning of Barsoom Project back in 2010.

One thing I really wanna do is to make all SimMars buildings available in as many sizes and stages as possible. All the SimMars buildings will have a large variety of lots in different shapes and sizes, from 1X1 to 6X6 (depending on the size of the building itself). The result will be something like this...

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2019_01/5c4d652b059fa_NewCity-Jan.2001546100130.jpg.2e241699cca74a4d83f65d479dd5b2cf.jpg)

The above lots are just 4 of the 36 place holders I've made for this building, just to give you an idea. In the final form they'll not be empty and only green. There will be many things, such as trees, lakes, underground parking garages, benches, fountains, launch pads, trail paths etc.

Giving all SimMars buildings such a large variety of sizes and shapes will give you more flexibility while zoning and developing. You can have the buildings very close to each other, making unbearably dense areas, or give them plenty of personal space, making ridiculously spare areas. You can finally make your zones as large or as small as you want, without worrying that you'll get an empty space because some specific buildings will be constructed only on specifically sized and shapes zones. All SimMars buildings available in as many sizes and stages as possible, so no matter the size and the shape, you'll always get something.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2019_01/5c4d650ed4a49_FutureCity-Aug.15791546101698.jpg.6676fa4d05cd7d8f513beac9d2754b83.jpg)

You can also get some of the buildings sooner than ever. The larger the lot is, the smaller will be the stage in which the building will be constructed. By giving larger lots to larger buildings, it will be possible to have apartment buildings and skyscrapers even in low density zones. And because the largest lot for a grown-able building is 6X6, be prepared for really exotic results! For instance, the above slim black building will be built in all commercial zones, from light to heavy density, from stage 8 to stage 1 to stage 8. I'm not kidding!

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2019_01/lowdensity.jpg.edd61b67a4c4574c1210ee70fd1ad562.jpg)

All the above will make the game a bit more interesting and challenging. It might make you want to take some more control and decide where should be build what, instead of just zone and let the game do the rest. So, how the future will be like? Overly dense? Overly spare? Something between? That's up to you. Lay a large low density commercial zone and you'll get a couple of small skyscrapers. Lay a large heavy density commercial zone and you'll get a lot of small skyscrapers. Go crazy. It's your city.

It will also be a nice opportunity to experiment with city blocks. Here is something that I've always wanted to build. 18X18 city blocks, for 8 6X6 zones, with a large park in the middle. Something like this...

Now that's the commercial districts I've always wanna have. Skyscrapers with enough open space in between them to let them breath. Same with the industries and the residential buildings.

SimMars buildings would be nice to have. Modern Day gets boring after a while, so sci-fi and even fantasy would be nice. Heck, I'd like if the SimMars roads to become a SAM texture (Sam15?), though we also need sand roads and tar sealed streets that have lines...

Want something simple and still nice to fill some gaps? Want to build a park but you can't decide between a plaza and a green park with trail paths? Just want some extra variety?  If the answer if yes, I hope my personal project will be something you'll like. This is a small set of parks I named "Plaza Parks". The aim here is to make a plaza-park hybrid to fit in as many cases as possible, something simple that can fill some empty spaces with something nice, while using as less dependencies as possible in order to make my project easily accessible for as many people as possible. It's not ready yet. More pieces are coming soon, so ideas and suggestions are welcomed.

Those 12 pieces are what I've made so far.

Even with those 12 pieces I can make many kind of parks with plenty of combinations.

These are really nice indeed. That last image, it's a re-lot isn't it?
Title: Re: Terring's Terrible Lots!!
Post by: Terring7 on April 27, 2019, 01:49:08 PM
Thanks. The last image is not a relot. Just a landmark surrounded by my parks.

As you can see some posts above, you can change the stage a building will be growing by changing the size of it's lot. The bigger the building, the higher the stage. The larger the lot, the lower the stage. So it's possible to get apartment buildings by laying low density residential zones. At least in theory, right? WRONG! Having a low density neighborhood with apartment buildings instead of single houses is possible in both theory and practice.

For experimentation and just for the heck of it, I took some SimMars apartment buildings (and a cool building made by Somy) and gave them a 6x6 base in decrease their stage as much a possible. This is how a low density city can look like. Remember that the lots are just for experimentation, so no details for now. I olny put some textures and then plant some trees just to give you an idea. Expect more details, like street lights and underground parking spaces, in their final form.

What do you think? :)

Imo this is a very practical concept. There are different tree replacement mods which all will make those pieces look different and always fitting with the surroundings. I bet this small pieces would become very popular - a nice way to close the small gaps you'll always get next to metro and bus stations etc.

Capital SimCity has a great recreation of Tyrell Corporation separated in (http://descargas.capitalsim.net/?sitio=csc&descarga=685) 3 (http://descargas.capitalsim.net/?sitio=csc&descarga=686) parts (http://descargas.capitalsim.net/?sitio=csc&descarga=687), so make sure you have all of them. I decided to make my own version for my personal reasons.

Here they are. The original and my version. Can you find which is which?

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2019_07/5d1cc2050c556_NewCity-Feb.5001560096816.jpg.305aec067aa22d1570dafaf146f19283.jpg)

OK, here is the answer. The original version is the one with the red, empty base.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2019_07/5d1cc20933e42_NewCity-Feb.10001560096885.jpg.4a3e25e530bbea831d7f569b10183573.jpg)

And my version is the modular one, made by 2 smaller pieces.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2019_07/5d1cc20d72d07_NewCity-Jun.14001560097287.jpg.a47b0814c2e68b68d3b46da4ce98d989.jpg)

I did it for a couple of reasons. First of all, the red base looks awesome in my Martian cities but very irrelevant in my Terran cities. I also didn't like the small grass stripes that appears sometimes.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2019_07/5d1cc215a6fe4_NewCity-Mar.10001560097037.jpg.eea8df74d9a00484c992ef74a4acf0bc.jpg)

I also wanted something modular and flexible, so I can fill the base with whatever I want, like skyscrapers or factories, or maybe I want to build it in an hexagonal instead of a square.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2019_07/5d1cc21235929_NewCity-Jun.27001560097519.jpg.89be1be4f9d1b406ae1c016b04b0fcc0.jpg)

Of course I'm not very happy with the white base because it's too empty and clean for such a building. I'll need something more cyberpunk, high-tech and badass for this building. We'll see.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2019_07/5d1cc219acba5_NewCity-May.27001560097225.jpg.46fc95702fc66166c2a526cb6608c41b.jpg)

Want to fill some gaps with something simple and nice, but you can't decide between plazas or parks? Now you can have them both as plaza-parks. Plaza-parks is a collection of lots that allows you to build parks and fill gaps at any shape and design you wish. I had this idea when I was making my lots many years ago while I was playing with Maxis overlay textures, and finally is high time to put the idea into practice. The aim is to create a flexible set of pieces (something like puzzle pieces) in order to make bigger parks on any size and shape without the need of any dependency, allowing all kind of players to use them. In other words, only Maxis made props and textures so everybody can use them. If you don't like the trees, you can use a tree replacement mod or the Lot Editor to customize them by yourself.

Right now there are 22 pieces but I'm making some extra more to fill some gaps I found while I was testing them.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2020_02/5e4836c654bd9_NewCity-Mar.7001581783508.jpg.3724d0ecd29e99deb9b0b017b92d6611.jpg)

I divided the collection into 3 sets just for convenience. The first set includes the most simple pieces, the "base" if you prefer.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2020_02/5e4836bb6b40b_NewCity-Jun.5001581783711.jpg.24125f94d4bf6a5b78a4dd85469f7498.jpg)

The second set add some extra paths, reducing the number of the trees (especially the bigger ones) and giving you a more plaza feeling.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2020_02/5e4836b79289c_NewCity-Aug.27001581783928.jpg.0e8bbc3caeae6fbad29ee7b8121b6ef0.jpg)

The third set adds diagonal paths to use them as corners and for more artistic variations.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2020_02/5e4836caadc60_NewCity-Nov.26001581784172.jpg.9edd744e7a370f5881997a91fb4be65b.jpg)

Plenty of possibilities ;D

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2020_02/5e4836c1116c4_NewCity-Mar.2011581784399.jpg.fc3d719f5dabb19079baa599b4c827ff.jpg)

Plaza-parks can be used to close gaps, divide zones and surround buildings like museums and bus stops.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2020_02/5e48369eb7ee6_Centrurium-Mar.4931581785823.jpg.93b2f38a811b5d6ab8e1730cf74d3f16.jpg)

But you can also build entire parks, with those pieces alone or by mixing them with extra parts like playgrounds and whatever you have in your plugins folder.

One of my very first downloads was Quadrahedron Matrix, originally made by 2ch.net simplayer. A cool set of futuristic landmarks with jobs that can be connected to build a network of them, but sadly suffers from plop-without-a-building disease. Zelgadis made a landmark-only version of it, but he didn't included T and + intersections. So I made them and they'll be released very soon.

Floating Speed Way is a fun set made by Fukajun to build floating racing tracks of the future, with animated racing cars. It comes with two packs, Basic Pack (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/22023-floating-speed-way-basic-pack/) and Stunt Back (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/22024-floating-speed-way-stunt-pack/). However I like using the Basic Pack to build elevated roads and air bridges to connect buildings, something like the skybridges (http://simcity2013wiki.com/wiki/Skybridge) of SimCity: Cities of Tomorrow. So if we replace the racing cars with some of Huston's props, we'll get a personal project I call "Future Roads Project".

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2020_03/5e80cdf78c518_NewCity-Oct.28001585498181.jpg.dd70f45579d032b368324fcf72ceac71.jpg)

Future Roads is a set of eye-candy antigravitational roads for antigravitational vehicles, obviously for future cities where there is no more enough land for ground roads and Sims prefer personal cars instead of mass transit.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2020_03/5e80cddf97e92_NewCity-Nov.12001585498251.jpg.d91897313f18b0d355d85822bab85f4f.jpg)

Since some of the roads are over-hanged, it's possible to make them run above small buildings and ground roads.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2020_03/5e80cdf084635_NewCity-Nov.24001585498333.jpg.f9dd0dc0d9edeec39dbc1449cfaa4143.jpg)

The original roads are floating in the height of 45 meters. I reduced them to 13,5 meters in order to visually connect them with the ground road system through the NAM pieces. Obviously the ground automata will be disappeared when they try to get to the Future Roads.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2020_03/5e80cde54612e_NewCity-Nov.17001585498281.jpg.9b34b8e5b6fedc3a8024559a05f58094.jpg)

And of course it's possible to make visual connections to some of the buildings as well. It's a very trope in future cities to have buildings large enough to have avenues running though them. Please use your imagination and ignore the lack of tunnels on the building. And the trees in the middle of the roads :D

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2020_03/5e80cdeb96369_NewCity-Nov.22001585498306.jpg.0e8629b6fa4bcc16fa3c6084bc593751.jpg)

What do you think? Of course I'm going to expand it and even add a 45 meters height set as well, but I'm not sure If I'm going to release it. It's just for personal fun. Nobody else will want this, right?

Actually, if you have mods that removes the grass from the sidewalks and replaces the trees, it's not that terrible ;D

You know what? I think it's about time. Barsoom Project is coming back, and this time it's going to be better than before. Not only I'm going to finish the futurization of all Maxis lots that I haven't touch yet, but I'm going to upgrade and improve all of the lots I've already made, by replacing already used textures with better ones, fixing errors, and adding more details. It's a lot of work, but it has to be done. And as always, ideas are always welcomed  :)

Let's begin with the stage 1 CO$$$ lots. I have already futurized them, as you can see in those old pictures from 2013. Some of them even had small landing pads for flying vehicles and lakes with ducks and swans.

(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2893/9853516923_34e15eb62c_o.jpg)

This is how they used to be ⬆️

And this is now. They still have their landing pads and lakes, but now they come with better textures, more variety in cars (including Akira bikes and cars from Command and Conquer), futuristic benches with neon lights, easier and more realistic access to the underground parking garages, and even robots talking to humans and other robots, serving drinks, and even feeding the ducks ⬇️

To be honest, I feel that my new lots are way better than my older ones. And this is only the beginning. By the way, I noticed some small mistakes that I'm going to fix them. You can't see them easily, unless you have Tally-Hawk's eyes  :D

Progress so far. What is ready, what is under development, and what has been improved. Oh boy, after so many years, here we go again ;D

When we think about futuristic transportation, our mind immediately goes to good old flying cars. Don't get me wrong, flying cars are indeed awesome and an easy and reliable way to put your cities into the future, especially if they're self-driven and hydrogen-fueled too. However, it seems that nowadays more (https://www.bicycling.com/news/a30518994/deloitte-2020-study-bicycle-transportation/) and more (https://www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2020/10/09/bikes-and-buses-will-be-futures-dominant-modes-of-urban-mobility-predict-346-transport-experts/?sh=71ab35b51b03) people believe that the future of urban transportation might not be something as cool as a flying car, but something as humble as... a bicycle. This might sounds a bit lame, but with traffic jam, air pollution and car accidents (among other problems) still unsolved, it actually make sense to accept a future with more and more bicycles and other similarly small vehicles.

(https://d1wa5qhtul915h.cloudfront.net/app/uploads/2020/11/Bike-Europe-Bicycle-trends-of-the-future.jpg)

Hmm, highways for bicycles. Now that's something now, something that you don't see everyday even as a concept. Still better that the highways we have now for our cars.

For this reason, I'm going to include bicycles in my futuristic lots by using murimk's Props Vo01 - Bicycle Props (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/25681-murimk-props-vol01-bicycle-props-with-bikers-mmp/) pack. Less cars, more bikes, more options for our Sims. And they really look great in a green, solarpunk city of the future ;D

What do you think? I want to make my bicycle parking spaces as realistic as possible, but I'm not familiar with bicycles and anything around them. So, since this is something new for me, please let me know if I've done something wrong. Any ideas and suggestions will be welcomed and taken into consideration ()stsfd()
Wait, did I just asked for realism? What's wrong with me? ???

And don't worry, you're going to get some flying cars too. Stay tuned ;)

I've upgraded all stage 2 CO$$$ lots. Before we see how they're now, let's see how they used to be until now. In other words, let's see my original version of those lots from back in 2013 and compare them with the new version of 2022. In my first attempt, we'll find ponds with ducks, spaceports, gardens, trees, flowers, underground garages, solar powered rovers, and many Maxis buildings for reasons I'm going to explain later.

⬆️ That was back in 2013.
⬇️ Now in 2022, not only you have all the above stuff, but from now on you'll also get better parking lots, a larger variety of futuristic cars, robots, bicycles, Akira-styled badass bikes, benches with neon nightlights, entrances and exits for the underground garages, futuristic installations on the Maxis buildings like domes, flying cars (I promised them in my previous post above ;) ), and even green roofs!  ;D

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b94000abc_NewCity-Jan.12001649517734.jpg.aede7cabe6123b012ed60566035ef5ef.jpg)

I'm gonna explain later why you'll still get some old-school Maxis buildings in your cities of the future, but now I'd like to introduce a big game-changer in my project. From now on, and when possible, Maxis buildings will get futuristic improvements, such as domes, solar panels and green roofs. For instance, those lanky Maxis buildings will now have some beautiful beds with flowers instead of old-school roof junk.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b94f2e418_NewCity-Jan.12001649517776.jpg.c483ebf79b0994644656a4b881af1223.jpg)

This is the only SimMars building you'll get in this stage, but have a look at its lots. They now have better grass textures, better parking spaces, robots, and even parking sheds for bicycles. And yes, I know that there are lots of cars and bicycles for those buildings, but you can imagine that not all of those vehicles belong to employees and customers of those office buildings. Some of them may belong to residences who live nearby.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b956574a6_NewCity-Jan.12001649517795.jpg.14a1f34dbced042baaa0040c109c8c75.jpg)

And it looks like somebody has parked her/his car on the sidewalk, with somebody complaining about it. Now that's something that AndisArt and I can confirm that it's a very common thing in Greece  :D

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b95d4ad9d_NewCity-Jan.12001649517821.jpg.01f35a75d68a789c6c98ad2d526e1fc7.jpg)

That's a lot of bicycles, don't you think?  ;D

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b962be3c2_NewCity-Jan.12001649517844.jpg.01752ba89ea02a3687cd3c276db7a48e.jpg)

The "Cities of Tomorrow" expansion pack for SimCity 2013 not only introduces new buildings, but also upgrades the older ones by installing various futuristic elements and technologies on them, such as solar panels, biogas plants, neon lights, green roofs and holographic advertisements. Inspired by this, Maxis buildings in Barsoom Project (or "Cities of Tomorrow" project? I really need a cool name for this project, unless I decide to just stick with the "Barsoom Project") will be modificated when possible with the addition of futuristic modules and technologies, such as green roofs, solar panels, and extra rooms by modular installations. This is something that actually happens in real life, with older buildings getting updates and improvements such as antennae and Wi-Fi hubs. It's a nice and fun way to add a touch of history, I guess  :)

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b96b13509_NewCity-Jan.12001649517861.jpg.73fa78f491ab7206eaea7a487fd914cf.jpg)

Some of the props found in SM_Mars Props (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/31187-sm_mars-props/) pack made by Mary Maurine Mayo fit like glove on some of those Maxis buildings, like those domes. They look awesome ;D

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b9723b6b4_NewCity-Jan.12001649517883.jpg.20ffe0021a02572b2891540a9be063ff.jpg)

And look! Flying cars docked to aerial parking spots, like spaceships on space station! I told you that we'll get flying cars ;D

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b977afa0e_NewCity-Jan.12001649517904.jpg.415c5d00c27afde1c6d0ddc3cea6ab2b.jpg)

As you might have noticed at the 2013 pictures, some of those lots originally had Maxis-made multi-storey parking garages. Back then I was thinking to keep them and just add SimMars rovers on them, to give an extra historic touch and some variety on my lots. Nowadays, those parking garages look so outdated and so out-of-scale compared with the on-ground parking areas, that I decided to remove them. They just don't look nice anymore, and we already have lots of underground garages in my other lots. However, just replacing them with on-ground parking was not enough. I wanted something unique and futuristic. One of the ideas I was examining was a tower parking garage, which stores lots of cars in a tower by using an elevator.
Something like this one:

(https://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00AOJEmuCdQUbr/PCS-Tower-Parking-Garage-Automated-Smart-Vertical-Car-Parking-System.jpg)

Looks neat, but there is nothing like that in SC4 community as prop, so I decided to improvise and end up making something fun and silly, but still based on the idea above. So, I came up with big, heavy-duty, ion-engine drones that pick your car and hang it a couple of meters above the ground :D . Just pray to Princess Celestia that this drone will not break down and let your car go :P

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b97cd945c_NewCity-Jan.12001649517927.jpg.5f1c33b66d308167e0b8be3892fe81c0.jpg)

Another Maxis building. This one comes with modular rooms that can stack up like Lego bricks. And yes, modular construction already exist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItCToQSSdhQ). And look! Those modules also come with aerial parking areas for flying cars and vans made by Huston ;D

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b982efe04_NewCity-Jan.12001649517944.jpg.0f733d48b958499b0810a83d20b90e51.jpg)

Because of the way those props have been placed, different ways of view will give you different results. Depending on which angle you see them, those flying cars sometimes will look like they're parked and other times they'll look like they're just flying around. I think that this gives you a feeling of activity in your city. We don't have flying cars as automata, so this is the next best thing we can have for now.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b98859bda_NewCity-Jan.12001649517966.jpg.e48a47d323b013dfeed8e5cbb4d7c4ce.jpg)

This is what happens when you mix the technological badassery of cyberpunk with the naturalistic harmony of solarpunk ;)

Electric wheeled car? Bicycle? Flying hydrogen car? Cool bike? Make your choice and have fun ;D

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_04/6251b9991f36d_NewCity-Jan.12001649518034.jpg.26fb32472b723f7e02bb74ac227e8db8.jpg)

And last but not least, green roofs! Now this is something that the game really needs. Green roofs already exist, and they come with so many benefits, such as reducing greenhouse gases and improving the local biodiversity, that it would be a heresy to not include them in my futuristic relotting projects. Those Maxis buildings also come with solar panels and roof ponds.

Before I call it a day, let me explain once again why there are still Maxis buildings. I've had already explained it a few times in the past, but I'm gonna do it once again. Every grow-able lot has its own stage. All the above lots, for example, are stage 2 lots. When I futurize a Maxis-made lot, I always make sure to preserve its stage, no matter what. If I start replacing all Maxis buildings with SimMars buildings, eventually we'll end up with stages with plenty of lots and stages with next to non of them, breaking thus the game. This is something I really need to avoid, so I always preserve the stage of any lot I'm playing with. If I can replace a Maxis building with a SimMars building without changing the lot's stage, that's the way. If the same happens with more than one SimMars buildings, even better. But if using SimMars buildings will either upgrade or downgrade the lot stage, then I'll have no other choice than using a Maxis building, preferably something more modern that will fit better in my future cities, like most of the Maxis buildings above. But just because we might have to use an old Maxis building, doesn't mean we can't upgrade it by adding stuff like green roofs and solar panels  ;)

Besides, not all Maxis buildings are bad. Many of them are actually beautiful. After all, having some Maxis buildings will not hurt. They can even add a touch of history that can tell you how this city evolved. As some of you might have noticed, many artists, architects and visionaries tend to forget that cities have pasts. Unless a city is built from scratch in the wilderness at some insane pace (Rome wasn't build in a day, but future cities might do), you will always be surrounded by the evidence of earlier times, like Parthenon in Athens and the Empire State Building in New York, which is a good thing. It gives your city an identity, a charm, a personality that makes it unique and interesting. Otherwise, you might end up with something totally futuristic but also antiseptic  ::)

Progress so far. What's ready (2013), what's under development, and what has been improved (2022).

No, the project is not dead. I'm just very busy right now with my postgraduate studies and exams. I'm not saying that I'm going to put the project on hold, but that the updates will not be as often as I'd like to. Right now I'm updating the stage 3 CO$$$ lots, which will have only Maxis buildings but heavily futurized. Here is a small taste, with domes, arrays and green roofs. More hopefully soon.

Well... better late than never  ;D

Now that I have some free time, I upgraded all stage 3 CO$$$ lots. Before we see them, let's see first how they used to be back in 2013. In one of those buildings I even tried @tariely's idea from Simpeg.com about solar panels.

⬆️ This was back in 2013.
⬇️ Now in 2022, all buildings comes with new textures, better parking lots, bicycles, greater variety in cars, futuristic upgrades such as domes and modular expansions, parking places for flying cars both on ground and on air, hanged cars, robots, green roofs, even more solar panels, and even small greenhouses for the workers.

The ponds with ducks and the underground garages are still here, of course  :P

Some futuristic technologies and expansions for the offices.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_08/62f93d52f141c_CO3-Jan.3001660494527.jpg.42124a4bdb43dde17b88f8c234d0946d.jpg)

I know, those communication arrays on the roof of those buildings look silly, but it's the best thing I could do. I tried to give them some green roofs, but the model of those buildings was not flat enough and refused to work with me. But hey, at least they look more like the James Webb Space Telescope.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_08/62f93d588e783_CO3-Jan.3001660494549.jpg.40e896373b207f2a2f6c5d9c8cbb7980.jpg)

But when possible, add green roofs, preferably with trees and flowers.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_08/62f93d60664e8_CO3-Jan.3001660494579.jpg.cee547fab8e17d8074bdb05ae432d1ea.jpg)

Even more upgrades, with domes, antennae, communication arrays, bicycles, and flying cars parked a couple of meters above the ground. Aerial parking, anyone?

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_08/62f93d67a5ea9_CO3-Jan.3001660494612.jpg.221be0095009bdd86c60c4d6bbc1e936.jpg)

But how those flying cars can stay on air? Here is how. Those cars have their engines still on to stay floating. To prevent them from running out of energy and crashing to the ground, the skybridges that connects them to the building (which have ion engines under them to expand however they need without using pylons or something to support them) provide them with the energy they need to stay on air.

And yes, of course you can have both bicycles and flying cars at your city  ;D

Back in 2013, I made most of the Maxis buildings to be constructed only on in-corner lots. This is because, in most cases, their original lots were not in-corner and had their parking spaces isolated from the road network, thus getting parking lots surrounded by buildings and without access to the road. By making their lots in-corner, I tried to get a more realistic result with parking lots actually connected to the road, and at the same time as less Maxis buildings in the city as possible. Just have Maxis in corners and let SimMars get the rest. This however could limit the variety of the lots available and make many of them very difficult to be used. To fix this problem, and to have an even more awesome result, I've made some extra lots that can be constructed anywhere, while turning their parking lots for bicycles and wheeled cars... into landing lots for flying cars!  :satisfied:

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_08/62f93d758b6c0_CO3-Jan.3001660494685.jpg.f072b0f9dcd3749577e8d91a576e2e91.jpg)

Speaking of flying cars, here are some more Maxis buildings, now with extra and modular roofs that can be used for flying cars and other vehicles as well. Too bad we don't have flying cars as automata. That would be awesome.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_08/62f93d8a75b6b_CO3-Jan.3001660494786.jpg.b4e9ab670c33d41646ea55dce5a4a315.jpg)

And of course you can't have a city of the future without green roofs, solar panels, hanged cars, and even small greenhouses. That's right, greenhouses on the top of office buildings. Hey, workers are humans too, so why not cultivating some of the food they need? If you can grow your own cereals and corn for your cereal bars and popcorn on your working place, why not?

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_08/62f93d98beafe_CO3-Jan.3001660494909.jpg.96462792a438a3b52cef1411e39896d9.jpg)

Hmm, the green roofs of some of those buildings look funny and glitchy, as if the white roof of the building is fighting the green roof just above it. Don't worry, I'll fix it.

(https://www.simtropolis.com/objects/attachments/monthly_2022_08/62f93da7b8a68_CO3-Jan.3001660494969.jpg.a71ab747c86964c318f61f46d769a11d.jpg)

So yes, all low density and high wealth office lots have been futurized. I think I'll keep working on low density lots for now. After all, they're the very first lots you see when you build a city. So I think my next step will be the medium wealth offices. Or the low wealth shops and services. Or maybe the family houses. I don't know. We'll see.

Progress so far. What's ready (2013), what's still under development, and what has been improved (2022).

One of my favorite mods is the Diagonal Intersection RoadTop SubwayBus Station (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/14010-diagonal-intersection-roadtop-subwaybus-station/) (also known as MTRT) made by uroncha back in 2005. It's a set of bus stops and subway stations that can be placed on top of streets, roads, one-ways and avenues, just like Road-Top Mass-Transit (RTMT). What I enjoy the most in MTRT, however, is that it also includes bus stops and subway stations that can be build on top of T and X intersections as well, which is very convenient for me. Why building bus stops and subway stations next to crossroads, when you can build them on the crossroads themselves? ;D My only complain was that MTRT includes Subway-Bus stations for roads, one-ways and avenues, but not for streets. If RTMT comes with subway and sub/bus stations for streets, why not MTRT too? So, I decided to make 4 new lots as a little add-on for MTRT to include road-top sub/bus stations for both straight and diagonal streets, as well as for tee and cross intersections. You can now get them from here (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/35485-mtrt-subbus-street-addon/).

What's this? A new set of modular plaza-parks? And empty like a canvas this time so you can paint your plaza-parks and customize them as you wish? Bring them on!  ;D
