As you may know I pillage BATs from other people to make lots. ;D I have no talent whatsoever with BAT so rely on my friends to provide me with goodies to play with.
First up is a re lot of Callagrafx's St David's Hotel. Somewhat more tropical and still being worked on:

lookin very good Barby girl - you are the master of pillage :D &apls
Sweet...you are the master at lot making &apls &apls
What do you want me to tell you girl, you're the Goddess, no doubts about it. Keep pillaging and raging other's bats, we all thank you for that $%Grinno$% :thumbsup:
Please pillage away...... :D
Very kool stuff Barby. I didn't know you could do some of that stuff.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet mother of pillage, that is some major overhaulin. %BUd% btw is that Jamison steel works?? if so that is a sweet redo love it :thumbsup:. - pat
you are so the goddess!!!!!!!!!!!
wonderful pictures and fantastic work, barbyw! :thumbsup:
Your mega-lot are always very much to my likings Barby :thumbsup:
The only thing that bothers me is the row of rounds (at the top end). They are OK at the parking bays at the entrance. But that row of dots gives it a bit of a dice idea ;)
hi barby so you are a pillager lol and you do it well girl lol

That was the unfinished lot when I was testing to find the optimum level of jobs. It is not quite so bare now. I am in the final testing process with this but would have liked some input from fukuda. However if nothing is forthcoming I shall release it once the testing is finished.
It looks great to me. Mega-industrials are definitely appreciated.
Frankly with pillaging skills like that, I wouldn't mess with the BAT either! &apls

After a serious pillage I made some new parks. All 2x2 with a variety of configurations. These are LEX exclusives.

Wow Barby,
When I downloaded these new parks this morning I didn't realize they were that new. LOL Very nice work, BTW.
---Gaston
@patfirefghtr : I cannot do anything with his other work as they have rail lines and props all built in to the model and as Transit Enabled lots do not upgrade they are not suitable for growables. It is a pity as the basic BATs are good but limited in use.
&apls Great job again Barby . It's always a pleasure to play with your lot. Just a question ( again ) . Can you tell me what is the building back to the park you done . Thanks .

These parks are looking very great! :thumbsup:
kimcar: I believe that is something yet unreleased, but it would say it on its way to LEX, soon.
It is indeed as vester said. It is currently in testing but I would hope it will not be long before it arrives at the LEX.
BTW that is not a pillage but a lot I have been making for a BSC member so it is up to them to show you not me ;D
Ok thanks for the answer . I knew that i never saw this building ;D
You will in the fullness of time :thumbsup:
"...in the fullness of time."
Great phrase! I've got to start using that one more often. (sorry... I'm a sucker for "forgotten" words and speach patterns)
Back on topic... very nice parks! I don't know anyone that can get more variety out of a park than you can. &apls
JB
Yea! Oh Great and Glorious Goddess, I love what you did with Lee's Hotel! &apls &apls &apls :thumbsup:
Back off topic, "fullnes of time" was a constant gag on the British comedy Yes Minister. When the Minister or his permanent secretary wanted to be non-commital about doing something it was always "in the fullness of time." Oh and the parks look good Barby :)
'Yes, Minister' (and later, Yes Prime Minister), now that brings back some memories of Humphrey's linguistic creative inertia!
As for the object in question: I dare say that the creator of the said, and as yet, un-named building shall, in the fullness of time, release a Final Communiqué to assuage the curiosity so rightly piqued in so many of the viewers of this topic. Anything less would be allowing inconclusive information to which we are not yet privvy to be disseminated without having gone through the appropriate channels; and as well you know, this is a highly discouraged practice.
Oh, and back on topic, the parks and St Davids are really fantastic work! I always find myslef using the 2x2 pieces in park design &apls

:P Actually, I don't mind if someone else lets the cat out of the bag! :D But I'll do it since so many have asked about it...The structure in question is the Millennium Dome of London. I built this awhile ago to compliment the London Eye (just took me awhile to get around to rendering it). Barby is doing the modding and has lotted two versions, one that fits with the park series and another that fits with SimGoober's canal system. This should make its way to LEX shortly...hopefully ;D so stay tuned!
Yoder these are for you ()flower()
My god Matt. Thats a serious phrase.
As Yoder has told you what the building is, I'll show you some pictures:
The park version and the London Eye.

If it rotated, it would look like Gaston's avatar. :D Gosh, one of these days I'll have to finish putting my plugins back together. I still haven't gotten to the BSC holiday stuff. :sunny: (dang, Jeronij has some fun smilies) Nice work, Barby and Yoder.
That is seriously cool. My sister sent my parents a gift from the dome. It was a china model of the dome, with pencils for the... ummm..... what ever they are. Had to be one of the weirdest souviners I've seen. But now I get it.
the yellow poles are to support the roof...using pencils is sortof cleaver. My first version of this actually had ALL of the accompanying support wires, but when I rendered it the first time I decided to get rid of them. They were very small (in terms of Gmax meshing) but they showed up huge on the rendered model...making a large white blur above the dome. Ahhh, SC4 never did like detail $%Grinno$%
Ironically I was searching the STEX for the Dome about a day or two ago, and, in good Yoder and Barby fashion...
BAM!!!
Here it is, ready to be unleashed upon the unsuspecting devotees here at SC4D!
It looks fabulous, and I am glad, no, over-joyed to see this having been done.
Although, from my understanding, the RL Dome is facing a bit of trouble... Oh well, no reason for it not to live on in grandeur in SC4, thanks to Yoder! &apls &apls &apls
Great work with the Lot too Goddess! :thumbsup:
What caught my eye were the large round grass areas that the trees are sitting in. Rather than using the Maxis Dirt Circle. The lot compliments the building. Thanks for the sneak peak.
:thumbsup: Thanks for the pics. This is an awesome bat you have done Yoder . Very great one. &apls &apls &apls

Support the roof? The look like they are a little longer than necessary. Probably someone scaled a dimension wrong on the drawing.

First visit here Barb.
I wouldn't say you pillage, just improve. &apls or help out would be a better choice of words.
Whatever the words should be, keep it up. You do outstanding work.
MsD is very right. You are like the glue and frosting to the best BAT team in all of SC4; You keep the team together, and make perfect lots. Thank you, i cant tell you how many people appreciate what you do here :thumbsup:
I am having another attempt to upload some of my lots that are currently locked on the STEX. I intend to upload in groupings rather than individual lots and am currently looking at the mega housing lots. I have 20 individual installers to deal with and for speed I am looking at providing a single new list of dependencies. The stats and information shown in each individual Readme have not changed but the dependency list has. I need to provide the links to all the dependency files and shall then post the list to the LEX for collection prior to downloading the packs. I shall also put a copy of this list in the zip with the individual packs. I hope this will be sufficient but will be here to answer queries if necessary.
Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all you do to help make SC4 the best game ever! Your expertise is GREATLY appreciated!
YOU ROCK!!! :thumbsup:
I am new to SC$ and SC4D and I want to say thank you for all the great pillaging you do. Great stuff! I was wondering why all the BLS Farm files were locked so great to hear they'll be around soon. Thanks again &apls &apls
All the BLS Farms and fields are on the LEX here. If you search for BarbyW you will find all that I have uploaded. Please note that you need to register separately for the LEX.
This is wanderful news. I have been waiting for this. I wanted the new updated stuff and to be able to DL it from the LEX just for trackablity. ;)
Thanks alot,
Robin :thumbsup:
I was thinking maybe you could figure this out. I was going to make 2ch.netsimplayer's ricepaddies grow - if you zoned the proper LOT size and used the agriculture. It started to turn out to be an easy task except for one thing. I do not know how to create seasonal cycles with the rice paddies.
2ch.netsimplayer provided the models and also did the proper seasonal cycling it seems - for they have day and starting periods. However you need to translate japanese to make any sense of them. Here's what I figured out so far:
Touki = Winter
Kaki = Summer
Shuuki = Autumn (Fall)
but Kara = ???
And Shunki = ???
There is little to no LOT editing with these, since his models take up the entire LOT. Only on some of the larger ones - but you can just use the XPIM to copy the props over from his LOTs, which I did easily. (iLive doesnt read the files). Yet, I have no clue as to how I should get them seasonally rotating. Thankfully he's done most of the work with the desc. files - unfortunately his naming scheme doesn't tell us which is which very easily.
Nippon Den'en Tambo 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (Japanese Countysides, Rice Paddy 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
1 and 2 are 4x6 paddies with built-in footpaths and trees, 3 is a 8x12 LOT with footpaths, an island and a shrine at the center. 4,5 are plain flat paddies (but different reflection, bush and such), 6 is a 4x8 plain paddy, 7 is a 4x4 plain paddy, 8 is a 4x4 triangular paddy, but the LOT size is 2x2.
Yousuiro (canal, straight)
Yousuiro Kousa (canal, crossing)
Yousuiro Teiji (canal, T-junction)
Yousuiro Magari (canal, corner)
Yousuiro Ikidomari (canal, dead-end)
Yousuiro Azemichi (canal-footpath crossing)
All these 1x1 canal LOTs have the same statistics as Maxis default Playground.
here are the files >>> http://www.yuhisa.com/cgi/c-board/file/NipponDenen.zip
I will copy this post over in the Japanese Forum and see what I can come up with for you. ;D
---Gaston
Okay I started a new topic in the Japanese section. I'm sure someone can help out.
()stsfd()
Spring = haru
Summer = natsu
Fall = aki
Winter = fuyu
Timeframe:
haru: February, 4th - Mai, 5th
natsu: Mai, 6th - August, 7th
aki: August, 8th - November, 6th
fuyu: November, 7th - February, 3rd
Naming of the months:
February= kisaragi or nigatsu
March = yayoi or sangatsu
(Now more confusion)
In the traditional japanese calendar, the third month in the year (sangatsu) is very close to "our" April.
sangatsujin = (end of March) = haru no hate ( end of Spring ).
April = uzuki or shigatsu
Mai = satsuki or gogatsu
June = minazuki or rokugatsu
July = fumitsuki or hazuki
August = hazuki or hachigazu
September = nagatsuki or kugatsu
October = j?gatsu or kannazuki
November = shimotsuki or juichigatsu
Dezember = shiwasu or junigatsu
January = mutsuki or ichitagsu
Surumi @ simtropolis helped me out.

I shall post the 10x10 set next week and then start on a variety of other older lots.
Great to see you getting the chance to update some of your own works, and of course bring them to the LEX, right where they belong. ;D
No wonder they call you the Goddess!

Some may have noticed that I have made a set of Mayor Mode ploppables using the SNM Vehicles. This was requested at Peg's site and the request passed on to me.
Having successfully made these I turned my eyes to the other props for the SNM that deadwood made and have a new set to upload eventually. These will be soldiers, shelters and ammunition. I had aplay with these while testing them and this is the result:

I downloaded the Beauborg BAT from the STEX and have relotted it as a museum - which is what it is in real life. I have made a small plaza at the rear of the building to reflect the real one that is there but as the lot is already 11x7 I decided not to make it too big. In real life this square is often used by musicians, acrobats and other street performers. I found some musicians but failed to find any acrobats to place.
This is the front view along the main street:

Very nice, BarbyW!
I didn't realise that the lot was that big already. I think it was a good decision to make the square not too large. Any one who is able to plop a tile will be able to increase the square, if desired....
I saw this on the STEX and was intrigued. Now I am more so... :D
Is the real version that garishly colored, or is the model just too bright?
It really is like that. ;D

Well, the last time I was in paris was before they erected the pyramid in front of the louvre At that time these plans seemed to be kind of really weird to me.
But this one ... ???
Let me kind of quote a real well known french comic hero:
"Ils sont fous, les francais!"
So that's really a long time ago!
I haven't been in Paris for more than 11 years. The pyramid was there already. I had planned to visit it , but exactly that weekend the personnell of the Louvre decided to strike.... :'(
But the pyramid is really beautiful and the Centre Beaubourg is really worth a visit.
