Long time since I showed a MD around here. About 2 years now. But my MDs comes back in time to 2005 when I first introduce New Haven Harbor (http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/866/newhavenharbour.jpg) , at Simtropolis, then they were called CJs (City Journals) and I remember competing against SCR from Jeronij, or AVR from Darmok or even Green Depra from chocolatemax285. In 2006 I started Els Pirineus (http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/459/elspirineus.jpg) , at the same time that other great CJs like 3RR from Dedgren or the multiple CJs Aleking have appeared. There were more I use to follow with great interest that I can't remember right now and would be too many to list them all. Unfortunately, and normally on that time, many CJs died mostly because of a bad or missing plug-in, and Els Pirineus went the same way. After that I tried several other MDs, by then, I had already moved here to SC4Dev, and I started Little Italy (http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/9963/littleitaly.jpg) . After that I made another try with Shosaloza I (http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/6040/shosalozai.jpg) , and played on between with Costa del Sol (http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4274/costadelsol.jpg) and Bordertown and my last attempt playing a region was Shosaloza II (http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/341/shosalozaii.jpg) which I never showed publicly.
One thing, except for Bordertown, all the maps were made by myself, like the one I am now presenting.
I don't have much to show right now, except for the region and a few images from the farming area. I'm using the Italia Terrain customized to my needs and my own Rock Mod. Usually my maps were quite mountainous and there were a lot of things I couldn't use properly like Canals, Highways and Airports. This time I'm going to build all of that. The map is 7x5 large tiles (35 large cities). I would like along the way to have your support and most likely will ask for some advise here and there, specially when I start building those Highways (RHW) and Airports or Seaports.
Also, whenever you see something you like and would like to know what and where to get it, don't hesitate to ask.
Here is the region

Hey Silvio. Nice to see you MDing again.
The map looks promising and and your farms look great.
I can't wait to see more.
Robin :thumbsup:
Great to see that you are starting a new MD adventure. Interesting region (do I already spot some future infrastructure in the making there?), and your farms look excellent.
Great looking region and some really nice farmland. I particularly like the the bridge over the irrigation chanel to the farm.
Very good start! &apls
Hehe good to see you back on a MD ;)
Welcome back to MD-ing! The farms and map look nice and I look forward to seeing the area develop!
This is a good start to your new MD, Silvio! I especially like the way that you carefully connected the driveways of the farm buildings to the streets there. Keep up the good work!
:thumbsup:
Very nice region and I like the farms. It looks like you are using Peg's new SPAM mod, is that correct? I've been watching to see how folks would use this and to see how it looks, and I think it looks pretty good!

Thx guys for the warm welcoming and nice comments :thumbsup:
@Gjermund - If you meant those lines on the region shot, yes, those are the RHW that I already layed down, still on 2 lanes version, that will be upgraded to wider lanes when necessary. There is also some rail lines already in place.
@Lora - Yes, I'm using SPAM, but not the mod itself as it is not CAMpatible, only the farms that I had to put them through PIMx and they grow along nicely with all other farms.
That's it for today, I'll get some more tomorrow. ;)
wow, looking really promising.
i absolutely like the map.

Hey there, lovely mosaics &apls. Your rural areas are truly stunning :thumbsup:. You could use a bus skin though, there are so many good ones out there ;). Looking forward to more!
These are very inspiring pictures, Rayden.
Great couple of updates!
I believe its not neccessarily the quantity of the pictures in the upgrade but the quality, and you get a 10/10 in that regard :)
Its a very good combination of rural towns with wilderness, you blend them so well!
Your introduction stirred many memories of "the good old times". ;) I used to follow those MDs.
Your new MD looks great.
Looks great :)
Em primeiro lugar os meus parabens pelo seu novo MD. Já hà muito que admiro o seu trabalho e o sigo aqui no SC4D. Eu sei que é chato responder às perguntas do costume sobre onde arranjou isto e aquilo mas não posso deixar de questionar qual o mod que utiliza para ter os poste de iluminação nas estradas. E que vedações das quintas são essas?
Um abraço

Firstly my congratulations on your new MD. Has long admired his work and follow him here in SC4D. I know it's annoying habit of answering questions about where you got this and that but I can not but wonder what the mod you use to have the lampposts on the roads. And that fencing of the farms are those?

In the mean time, all those farms have start to accumulate a lot of trash. Measures had to be taken, and a garbage disposal complex has been built.

After this I'm going to another tile, north of this one. It will be also farmland in one side of the river, and timberland on the other side. The first road connection will be done between this tile and the new one, as there is only freight train connections, one on the east and another one on the north.
That's it for tonight. As usual, suggestions are welcome, as is all your comments ;)

Oooo boy, I'm in your MD ()stsfd() Well, those busses look awesome, and your rural areas are awesome! This MD is well on it's way to the Best Sellers!

Your friend,
Alex
Great start and lovely rural area! :thumbsup:
In my opinion, there are only a dozen or so of people out there that can make a believable rural/farming scene and let me be the one to tell you that are definatley one of them. I'm not sure if you Gordan (Battlecat) and his MD. You may get some really good ideas from some of the things he is up to.
The only suggestion that I have would be to look at some of the great trees that have been made lately and see if you can incorporate any of them in your scenes.
Other than that, I love what I see. I just wish sometimes that I had the patience to make an area half as nice. &apls

Nice fields indeed :thumbsup:
Are those birches flora or props? You can use the seasonal flora on lots if you plop them in late August/early Sept.
These are really some great looking farms, lots of space around and in between.
I also see your small canals, which is something I could use for Andau. Have been thinking I should try to install one or the other, I must say the set you are using looks excellent.

rooker1 - Thanks Robin. You're too kind. ;) I'm already using some of Girafe's and SimFox trees. I don't use yet the seasonal ones by CP/Lowkee, as most of the forestation in done in god mod and the the seasonal ones have a very small spread and it takes ages to forest a big area. I also had a look at Jordan's MD and I like it, gave some ideas. :thumbsup:

Lowkee33 - Thanks Carl. They are flora, I know about he September issue on your trees, I've been following your thread with interest ;)
kwakelaar - Thx for the very nice comment. The canal in use on the images is the SPIC by Peg, but I also like and use regularly the Ditch Set by SimGoober. Those are for farming areas. For urban areas Simgoober also have the Urban Canal (ditch style) and for Industrial areas I like to use the ones by RebaLynnTS (LAR) LA River Project. They blend well on dirty industrial areas.

Very nice.
I have been teased!!
Robin ;)
Great update once again, Silvio, and lovely teaser too. I really love the second picture of the teaser with the lights and the rugby field. :thumbsup:
What a gorgeous set of updates :)
The teaser speaks for itself, but the update before that has a little bit of everything: a great ploppable lake, some rails, rural areas, and also suburban areas. Great stuff!
Great update and teaser! &apls I agree with Robin that the house by the lake looks very nice--perhaps it's reserved for the mayor? :D The rails look very nice as well, especially with Sanye/Fanta's freight mod and giraffe's new passenger train skin. Your rural areas with MMPs are very well done and that's a really unique image manipulation with the super-blue ploppable water. Industry and farms are also great.
If I can make one small suggestion, I think your RHW would look a bit nicer with merging lanes (type-C or -D ramps), though you've got a great system as-is. Speaking of suggestions, thanks for the view of the new wide-radius rail layout! :thumbsup:
Looking forward to more
-Noah

UPDATE 5
RepliesTerring7, Ol.S / Benoit, bat, art128, nedalezz, Tomas Neto - Thank you my friends, your support it's very important and welcome. :thumbsup:

rooker1, noahclem, bat, - Bull's Eye, that's exactly my house ;) About two years ago, when I was playing Shosaloza, I decided to lot a new Mayor's House that would fit the rural area. It started as being a normal house, but with the help and suggestions of the guys at BSC it turned out as it is now. It's a proper functional reward, that complements the Mayor's House set, and doesn't replace the Maxis one. The Maxis one appears at 500 inhabitants in the city, and this one when it reaches 1000 and you need also to be rated +40.
I kept changing and adding some little stuff like the peer, thanks to Cris Adams who bat it, and then I add the boat and two of my cars set. Both the boat and the cars are timed to give a little life to the lot. I did it first to my own use, but as there was some interest on it, I finally decided to release it - It's now on the LEX here (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2636)
I hope everyone enjoys it.
About the next update, it's going to take a while, perhaps during next weekend, as I am doing a couple of new lots to fit the current city, a huge rail-yard and surrounding residential neighborhood. I already start it twice and twice I trowed to the bin, it's very difficult to fit all the textures the way you like it :angrymore: I'm undecided between using the NCD textures or do custom ones. Let's see if I can get enough patient to build this lot. ;)
Thx guys
Silvio
Nice work on the city Silvio. You're very good at getting the correct lot to grow.

Patience is the main word in this game! :thumbsup:
Sorry for the lack of updates, but things are quite busy for me, high season over here. Also I have spent some time lotting a railyard and respective residence quarters. I'll have a proper update during the weekend. Here is a couple of images from what I have been doing.

The rail yard looks very well done! &apls The blocks look very nice as well. No worries about the update timing--I'm about to hit our high season here and won't be able to be around quite as much as I'd like to be.... Look forward to the full update, hopefully this weekend :thumbsup:
Silvio, this is one of the best railyard i've ever seen! I hope you'll release it to public! Also excellent work with this residential area my friend, I like it very much. Also, yeah the full season of Albufeira ? I know what it is! :P
That's a nice looking railyard!! Also great residence quarters!!!
The night shot is looking wonderful, too!!! :thumbsup:

Growing all these same blocks must've taken a lot. But the final result is excellent!
The railyard looks cool, too. It's just that yellow crane that looks a bit too large :P
That mosaic is awesome!
Fantastic mosaics, Silvio!!! The overview of the region is awesome too!!! :thumbsup:
