It's time I showcased some of my custom lots I have created for my cities. Most of these lots are not available for download, as the dependency list for most of them are just too great. The main purpose of this thread is to (hopefully) inspire some fellow players to use their imaginations and create awe-inspiring lots. Enough jaw-jacking, let's see the lots!
Lot #1

And the area the lot was intended for.
Only one lot for tonight; kinda getting late out here. I'll post up a couple more tomorrow. Let me know what ya'll think!

That's a cool idea. I might have to try it for myself. :)
Great work on these lots! Looking forward to more of it!

These lots are somewhat simple and mediocre; I should have some better ones up by the end of the week. Enjoy!

Dan this is just wonderful, your lots are perfect!!!! :thumbsup: &apls
Simple? Mediocre? Now now Dan, I think you shouldn't be so hard on your lots. Seriously, they are all awesome! They spruce up your cities (or just Aurora :P) very nicely. &apls
Among the showcased lots, I'd have to say that the tree-lined street is my favorite. The 2x5 plaza comes at a close second, though. You should really consider uploading these lots to the LEX or STEX. ;) Even if you don't, I'm glad that you're showcasing this greatness. Keep up the excellent LE work! :thumbsup:
- Kyle
That's just splendid! Great work, I hope you'll continue lotting! :thumbsup:
I love how integrated all your lots are. Look forward to seeing more. :D
Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial on how to transit enable lots? I found one on the Stex, but the link wasn't working. I'd really like to make my own tree lined streets, etc.
ETA: Don't worry - I found one! http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=539.0

Looking forward to working with you!!!

Congrats. Could you please send me the first lot you showcased, I don't think it would hurt to showcase some AU talent around the stadium that will be hosting Adriovision VIII: Elsbury ;)
^^^ I'll do just that as soon as I figure out how to do it! I'll also do it when I'm not bogged down by RL events going on.

Pat: Wonderful: yes. Perfect: nah... one of my faults is that I use too many prop packs which creates a lot of dependencies. I'll try and consolidate the use of packs in the future.
ky72x: Heh, yeah, I only have used those lots in Aurora. I am working on getting some lots released, but it'll take some time.
caspervg: Ever since I started playing SC4, I've used custom lots of my own. Just now they are a lot more detailed.
girlfromverona: Thanks; they were created for one specific area, so it was easy to integrate them. I'd like to see what you'll create!

Sorry for my inactivity here at BLaM. Due to the fact my hard drive decided to die on me, I lost all of the previously showcased lots. I am currently working on making some dependency-friendly lots (most of my lots feature five or more prop packs; too much for a sensible release).
Once that is solved, I will try and get some lots released, though I'll have to ask around as to how, since I have no clue on these matters. So, stay tuned...
~ Dan
very nice lots my friend &apls
Dan no problem there at all in how to get them released, will help you step by step...
Congratulation for all of your work on the LE my friend ;)
I love these lots you're making! Did you BAT some of the props for a lot?

I need YOU!
I thought I'd try this out; let's here suggestions for lots that you'd like to see me create! Please limit one request per person and also try to be patient; I don't have too much free time as of late to use the LE or play SC4. After I churn out a few to people's liking, I'll open a LEX Candidacy Thread to hopefully start uploading to the LEX. Let's hear (or see) your suggestions!
~ Dan
Dan, It's a really good idea :thumbsup:
Its amazing what you find when just looking through the forums , I'm sorry to have just now seen this! I like that train station lot! Keep em coming!

@ SpilltMilk: The diagonal street texture can be found in the SFBT Essentials (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=750) on the LEX. If you have this already, make sure you have the update version from July 2008. That took a while to find!

&apls &apls Yeap excellent lotting . Great design that you have done with the bridge
splendid job !
Nothing overly fancy? Ha, wish I could lot like you do! (I never knew you could make triangular shaped lots like that in LE)
Fantastic work here - you can see that you put a lot of work into it - can't wait to see more. btw i love the wooden deck texture you are using for the piers - are they your own?
Yea, reminds me like a LOT of my hometown. Looks very nice, and very detailed. No worries about not filling in every pixel with a prop, the open space looks very livable
Dan I have always loved your work and this is no exception!!! Simply wonderful man!! We really need to get you released ;)
This is definitely lotting at its finest, Dan. Judging by that first pic in your last post in this topic, I would say that you have spent a great amount of time and effort on this, and this kind of dedication clearly has its rewards.
