Seawalls, huh? What purpose do they serve? They ARE just eye-candy, right?
Well, I know that. But where would they look best? In a hi-tech jungle? In a giant skyscraper filled metropolis? In a tiny suburb? Could you post a few examples as pictures, maybe?
Yep, they're only eye-candy. In RL sea walls are used to protect the coast from erotioning and thay also serve as a park or a recreation area for the citizens since they're usually ornamented.
On big cities you won't see sea walls that are very elaborated, they do have some walking space, a couple of benches but usually nothing big, unless it's in a very wealthy sector, or in a turistic area or park of some sort.
On smaller towns you will see them a little more ornamented, maybe with more trees, a couple of stores maybe, stuff like that. In industrials secdtor they one do their job protecting the land, they are not intended to give the workers a place to relax.
If you want to give the looks I described I recomend to use Marrast seawalls on a big city, maybe Cal's in a small town or touristic area and Jeronij's in an indsutrial setting, but this is only my opinion
Ah, thanks man -- I will try that.
So should I use them for pretty much every city? (except for maybe out in the farmlands...)
Another option for a different type of seawall is to use mayor mode ploppable rock flora. It can look more varied, and can look nice in the right spots.
Okay Seawalls...
I went through a phase were I couldn't get enough seawalls. I have seawalls from all over the world. There are dozens of them. Check out the links to Japanese sites. MAS-71 has a couple of really good ones and there are lots more. Marrast's are great I use those alot. Jeronji had good ones. Too many to even list. The problem I run into is that none are perfect, every set seems to end up missing some vital piece I need to finish something off. LOL I have had creators of these walls make special requests because of this. MAS-san made a dryland version (did not need to be plopped in water) of one set, because I asked. It has been VERY useful. I think you will be amazed at how many versions of seawalls there are. It just takes a bit of looking. I wish i had made a list of links but RL keeps me from taking that kind of time. I'll try to post some as I find um again.
Good Luck

Thanks guys.
However they are a bit confusing, any links maybe?
Also I can't find Cal's seawalls. Linky please?
These (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=100) are the ones I told you about
Yeah, and I can't find them anywhere on the LEX.
