Title: Show us your rural/suburban transitions
Post by: metasmurf on August 12, 2008, 05:23:56 PM
I've grown quite found of rural/suburban transitions, both in SC4 and in real life. Here's a few examples of mine.

Heres mine. I thought these street lights, and that rural road textures made this realistic.

Just to bump this thread, which deserves much more attention. Like Metasmurf I do love the transition between urban and rural - not least in SC4 because it's so difficult to recreat in a realistic manner. Inspired by sumwonyuno and the latest - and very inspirational - chapter of his MD, I have created a marshy plain, with much more succes, than I'm used to:

If it wasn't for those maxis streets, I would have mistaken this for a real picture. Whatever ground mod your using does the trick, but the landscape detail all together are very realistic.

Actually the terrain mod isn't that exotic - it's the Meadowshire TM. Anyway, not much of the plain ground is visible. It's all coveret with different sorts of ploppable flora.

I have been searching over a year for the light that you are using in the middle of the RHW in the second picture. The double-headed cobra-neck posts. Where did you get them?

Now if there was only a variation that placed it on a concrete tall-wall running through the centre.

No credit for me, I'm quoting FleshaR34. I want to know where the lights in the picture were gotten from.
