mjig_dudy :thumbsup:

Nice beginning. great pics too.

I like the way that you have covered up most of the plyon with trees. I found some other types at ST that are a better colour, shall try to find link if you are interested. They are a much nicer colour grey, more realistic imo. ;)

Still its a lovely start and i love the way the trail heads down towards the river and by the farmland. ;D

I'll get some of mine ready for here and show later.

Kettle's going on you dudy

Thank you Nik Nik much appreciated :thumbsup:

thanks to all for the comments.
Unforunately due to a very irate supreme presence, this town has been obliterated by a careless mayor who wanted to know what happened when he pushed the buttom.

Well, he never found out, because he was gone just like everything else and it doesn't matter to him now so this is the only place these pics will ever show that poor little town with its smelly graveyard.

ooops
Oh well.

More tea, Vicar (he,he,he)?

luker91:  Those farms are amazing!  I don't see any of odd shapes like that in Texas (of course, maybe I don't look hard enough...).  But yours look so good!  I love that little town squeezed between the freeway and the shoreline.  And how every house has a path leading to the road.  And the forest.  And the random run of power lines.  Awesome work you've done!

jaronamo70:  I like your little town!  It feels like home...except the little town I'm from didn't have a freeway running that close to it.  Or even a four-lane highway.  But it did have a lake!  Anyways, thanks for the fine example of Main Street, USA!

Post by: wouanagaine on January 17, 2007, 03:49:35 PM
thx everyone

Making the above animations was quite simple

I just lay down everything in pause, then run the game in full speed, taking some screen shot from time to time ( basically everytime a new farm grows ).
I paused the game when I have to rezone some new farms,



For the last pic (the one with traffic, I just click the central frieght station and take the pic )

Then I use SWFTools to make the flash animation, and thx to Jeroni this site allow Flash integration :)

What I'd like to showcase here is not the farms as much as Cycledogs tree mods. This one is the Missouri Breaks terrain with the Missouri tree controller. The controller can plant wooded areas in interesting shapes. I like to zone the farms around the trees. It is a slow way to play but can be rewarding at times.

jmyers: Wow!  That reminds me so much of home (South Texas), the way the road winds through the small towns and the farms are visible for miles around.  Also, building the farms around the trees makes them look really realistic.  All the time, when I'm going to the next small town over, there'll be a random clump of trees (because there's no more prairie...).  I also like how your farms are not total grids, makes for a more interesting view.  A very great job you've done!

Your farms look great! 

I like the way you have some of the residential groups surrounded by farms.  It looks like a family group where "gramps" owned the farm and his kids have build houses around the farm.  They plan to inherit the farm after gramps passes on to the big farm in the sky.  :wings:  

I've struggled with my farms.  The program plops down Pumpkin Acres on almost every farm I zone.  I don't know where it comes from.  It must be a Maxi farm.  I've cleaned out my plugin folder of all my downloaded farm files and it still gets plopped.  Go figure #?¿?¿?$

Hello!  I like what's going on in here!  I have a couple of questions and comments...

Frankie
: One rail line?  Did I miss something!?  The way it curves around that barn is fantastic!

Jackie: Okay, I gotta say it: you're insane!  And by insane, I mean insanely good.  I've only ever called two other people insane, and they were AK and El Burro.  I mean, look at those cliffs!  They're gorgeous!  Unbelievable work, yes!

threestooges: That second picture reminds me of a backroad in South Texas, the way the road runs through the small towns and between farms like that.  Are those clay streets or red brick?  Or something else?  I can't tell, but they look interesting.  Nice job!

Thanks for the comments. If you are interested, the first is just a zoomed in section of the second (just right of the center of the 2nd pic). Most trees you see dividing the farms are hiding canals.

--Masochist: I've never been to Texas so I wouldn't know their style, but what I did is partly inspired by some farms/vineyards in central California and by Digby and Anduin Valley Revisited (both of the Simtropolis website). I just draw out a few roads/streets and see where the farms want to fit in. Any space left over usually becomes filled with trees or something. The streets are just a red brick mod (or whatever they're called) by ardecila which can be located here (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=13021). It's a herringbone (fish bone) pattern and stays the same across wealth levels if you want. I find it useful to avoid nasty/abrupt wealth transitions that can happen.

Nice use of the irrigation canals intertwined with the farms. Two suggestions I have though that tend to spruce up any pic: get rid of the u-drive-it icons and use the 'g' key to turn off the grid. Overall, it looks like a good start.

I have one to share and it is a bit different. I created a representation of a 17th century plantation owned by Ens Thomas Savage, the first European to settle on Virginia's Eastern Shore in 1618. I used SC4 and lot editor to accomplish this. This image and several others were used in a video during the recent play "Piece of Eden" at the historic Palace Theatre in Cape Charles, Virginia. I suppose it shows that SC4 has other uses than just a game.

That is a lovely mosiac Nikopol!
Excellent farms and small town.
Very good use of controlling the dirt streets and paved streets.
It's diffucult to keep the areas dirt rather than paved, where you want them.
Well done!

Hello Nikopol – Just above the farmers market is a grassy area with some paths, trees, drums, and crates.  Is this a custom lot – what is its function?  A farmer's market extension or County Fair perhaps? The lot has given me an idea.  I placed a link to that picture into my "gmax ideas" folder. Thanks.

jmyers2043: should be a farming reward lot i think but i have to take look at it (ingame)
Perhaps some missing probs but definitely no custom lot.

Found it and did a replop:

BLS GA Industrial - Lime Beauty Products

What did you use to get the powerlines over lots?

It's not proper game power lines dragged over the buildings, they are eyecandy lots/props that you can find somewhere at the STEX/Simtropolis. I've used them in my Nuclear Power Plant Lot but I can't recall from where I got them. It should be in one of the packs on my dependencies list for that lot.
You can find my lot in here (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=65) or here (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=17553).

Those spots can usually make for a good picture. Also, browsing the forums here and other places halps to provide inspiration.

Exceptional rural pics everyone.
-Tea Cat, I wanted to comment on your in particular. I reall ylike the effect you haver achieved in the 4th pic (and others as well) with the winding streets. It looks as though that was done with tht ehelp of the diagonal streets mod, but they look so smooth. Was there a particualr trick you used or did it just turn out that way?

-Travis, you have done a very nice job in the composition of your pic (I think I saw it in the photo competition thread). Very natural.

-Vario80, You've done a nice job i maintaining a regional theme. It adds a plesant touch of realism to add a backstory to the work. It looks good. Are the trees along the streets seasonal? If not, I think there are a few out there, and a pic of that scene in fall (or winter) would look stunning.

Thank you kindly my good fellow.  ;)

Yes I use the NAM which is just an essential and it helps to get the curves. Its is literally laying the tiles to get the general layout and joining them up, bulldzoing and rebuilding till its right. I then add the side streets off the curves. throw in some flower gardens and playground, et voila 1 nice little estate that overtime and if conditions are right develops.

As an aside if the sims want a nice little gated community then they can pay for it :D

Hey everyone,

I think this is my favorite thread of all the SUY's, thanks for creating it mjig.  Everyone has a little something different, from PW to snow to animations, curvy roads, powerlines, green valleys, rivers, quaint farms, villages, trains, lovely trails, fertile fields, WOW, rural is way more interesting the city.

I have been working on a rural tile, and here are some shots of what I have come up with:

Robin, thank you for the kind words. If it were my normal playing style, I most likely would have. However, we were supposed to grow as many of JMyers new farms as possible and that layout was put together very rapidly. I just couldn't stand it all without at least CPs farm street mod as well as a few others (having them doesn't affect the game basics). And, I didn't put in the slope mod either, though, you are right and I am for the next round.

Hi, Bernhard, yep, it's the very same, there is a day shot in the Projects thread on this side, too, and a couple in the Artistic thread.  Those are some big beautiful pics, very much your own inimitable style.  I love the train overpass in the last pic, is it a buddybud? 

Bigberta, your pic is very colorful, excellent light and content, and what have you used to edge the plop water?  Is the wall Shandypest's?

shoreman905, it looks like farms fairly burst forth with the CAM Mod, nice variety, and it's nice to have the diagonal option.

Thanks for the nice comment, bat, you are a very faithful commenter.

Living in Sim Jmyers is the creator of all those great farms. I guess a perk of being a CAMster is getting to use such works of art. These really are the best farms I have seen, and the slope tolerant farm fields takes agriculture one huge step forward compared to Maxis field on a foundation mess. Thank Jmyers, I know I do.
Jmyers Sorry I haven't been in here in a day or two, been testing. I use farm_street_cp_seasonal_V1 along with diagonal dirty streets extended. I found that they give a real lively look to the roads and enhance your works. (oh, forgot, the timber lots are really great, it is a touch or realism I have looked for, for a long time, thank you)
Folks, you are going to love CAM if you like big cities, or rural. there are so many suprises waiting for you with this one. A massive amount of work has gone into CAM and is still going on. Keep checking the CAM Development thread.

Hi, all,

Hey, Bernhard, thanks for the links--those look great.  I will be using them.

shoreman905, yes, I have downloaded everything of Jmeyers' that I can get my peapickin' paws on.  The new ones with the "country cousin" aspect of the CAM are quite attractive.  Nice pic, and I see it is more than holding its own in the Contest.

l.h., you have really put a lot of work into that region, it looks Google Map-ish.

Travis, the little pond is just darling, very nice detailing and realism.  I love the different electrical wires.  Here in the States they do usually have a treeless belt under them to prevent fires and aid access, but that is a minor detail that doesn't detract a bit from the loveliness of the composition.  May I inquire where you found the little boats and dock?  They are just perfect!

Is anyone up for a Sunday drive through some more boonies?  If so, please hop in!

Travis - a nicely laid out campsite with good use of custom tracks. The earlier forest pictures also look good.

Here's one of mine - a wooded valley side with farmland on a plateau.

Hi, everyone, thanks for the nice comments.

Travis, since I have his mega pack, I found SG's little boats and dock in the Lot Editor, and I've made some little  lots out of them.  We'll see how they look, and thanks for letting me know the creator.  They go well with the campground, too.  It looks like you've done a lot of custom lotting on that pic, it worked out good.  I think I've seen those path textures in LE, and liked them, as they are smaller and look more like a footpath or less used trail.

Wheezy, thanks for taking the time to look.  I'm glad you like the color.  I was going for a simple, everyday, country look, but not quite to the bland point.   ;)  I'm a bit stumped about how to improve that.  Any suggestions--did you mean to include more interesting content, unusual BAT's, more effects, etc?  (Anyone else, please chime in if you have suggestions.   %confuso)  If you haven't found a rice paddy, the ploppable fields set, found here, (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=17233) has some smaller ones.  The dependencies are found here on SC4D in the BSC mega packs.  I've also seen bigger ones in others pics, maybe on some of the Japanese sites?  It seems like emilin used some in his MD, maybe shoot him a PM.

Copperalis, I like the valley, and the way you've used the rocks in the forested areas, it's very well blended.

Well, bye for now.

Liv

@Shoreman905: Usually I don't like the dirt street mod but in your pic it looks great!

@Liv: Nice (LE-)work with the irrigation kanals and the fences! But you should have a look at the railway slope at the RR crossing (which has my O.K. at that place ...  ;) )

@Travis: Nice campground but not much used ...  I know those with more tents resp. the tents closer to each other ...

@Copperalis: Nice work with those rocks!

I couldn't do an update (I have to finish Kenworth railway stations before I go on a short trip next weekend) so here are just some pics fresh out of the game ...

Enjoy:

Two quick questions: (1) Are those fences plopped separately or are they part of the whole lot (and either way, how long did it take you to put it all together)? (2) Are they available to the public? That is a superbly executed rural landscape. I agree about putting in the photo competition.
Title: Re: Show us your Rural areas
Post by: Chrisadams3997 on September 09, 2007, 09:50:50 PM
Right now I believe I'm up to (checking my notes) 17 lots for the fences, all 1x1 or 1x2, with several more planned and a couple small fixes needed(read wanted, I'm a bit of a perfectionist), and a similair number for the new dirt paths.  The whole thing is being planned with versatility and ease of use in mind, but it's a fairly intensive process none the less, no click and drag here.

A simple small pasture could take as little as two or three minutes, or you could spend 30 minutes on a very large or detailed one, just depends.  I've just been slowly putting this together as I got things lotted and modded over a number of days-just really started as a few test pastures, so I don't have a clue how long it took all told.

It's a fairly extensive project with more things planned, and soon I'll probably be starting a bat thread on it for feedback and to provide updates, so stay tuned.  Oh yea, and thanks for the comments :thumbsup:.

Figui: Other than my dislike for the flower fields and other silimairly 'vibrant' fields(which is purely personal preference, I'm a bit of a realist, can you tell?)  The layout is very cool and non-grid(which automatically earns some points from me) and fits in well with the outskirts of the nearby town.  Really good job.

Have a look at the outskirts of Vinkhuizen, the Huygens region. This once untouched location is now disturbed with the railway to Amsterdam. Now discovered, some small woodland cabins are being built at the shores by the rich and famous of Vinkhuizen, apparently going back to basics is the real big thing at the moment. Please have a look at the pictures where you can see the workers cutting down the trees and collecting natural stone for the next cabins to be built.... what a shame

Capo,
I like your rural area a lot. Beautiful terraforming.
But in your last picture I see, tot re right in the lower corner, a completely white windmill. I had this one also, but the colors are very unrelaistic. You should consider to replace it by Oppies windmill. It is almost forgotten, I think. But it looks nice. Just have to find the place where I downloaded it. Maybe you can find it on the Simcity.EA.com, but I remember there was another site with not so many downloads, but some very nice ones by Oppie.

Tkirch,
Many rural areas have so many different farms, they have too much diversity (I'm not going to show mine...Maybe I should just delete some plugins, but they look so nice!), and this is not very realistic. Yours has a very nice balance and is not too boring. Very good.
Am I right and do I see Nexis grain elevator railway station? I deleted it from my plugins, because once placed in a city I was not able to bulldoze it anymore. A bug of some sorts.

I like your rural area a lot. Beautiful terraforming.
But in your last picture I see, tot re right in the lower corner, a completely white windmill. I had this one also, but the colors are very unrelaistic. You should consider to replace it by Oppies windmill. It is almost forgotten, I think. But it looks nice. Just have to find the place where I downloaded it. Maybe you can find it on the Simcity.EA.com, but I remember there was another site with not so many downloads, but some very nice ones by Oppie.

Thanks for the tip, Im going to search for that one because I love oppie his stuff generally!

You can find his Dutch Windmill and his canals, plus some commercials at:
http://www.simcitycentral.net/
Look under "downloads", of course. Most of them are found onder "BAT files".

Tkirch: very nive layout, but I have an economical question.... Thinking of real life. Between your farms you have a lot of trees. They are beautiful, of course, but I'm afraid in real life the area would never look like this. Maybe there would be some blocks of trees and maybe you would have trees next to the roads, but the rest would be used as farmland as soon as the farmer could buy an axe....

Duvad: beautiful and simple, but how do you prevent your cows from running over the street and eat the corn, or whatever is growing there?

Chris; nice yes. Beautiful! Pity the track runs next to the gate....

FrankU:  Damn builders &sly!,  you pay good money and tell them to build a gate HERE, then come home only to find that they've built in over HERE.  I mean sheesh, it's not like they couldn't see where the dang tire tracks ran through there.  You just can't get good help these days.

lol, I think I was going to fix that and just forgot about before taking the picture.  Afterall, I can't be too perfect, I'll have people expecting too much of me ;).

Post by: FrankU on October 30, 2007, 08:05:57 AM
I totally agree with you on the builders. They just glance once at the drawings, don't take a second look, throw them away and do what they always have done: just put things where they see it fit.... :'(

And, maybe I shouldn't say it out loud, but I think in fact you like it that we expect a lot from you. It's just another reason to perfect your projects. And we all agree here that you are succeeding in a glorious way.

I just put the start of my new region on hold until you finish these darn things....
And fill my time by fooling around with some stupid lots. :D

David your last pic to your post is incredible.  The illusion that the road is curved is breath taking. 
I think you should post that in the SC4 Picture Contest.  As a matter of fact I dare you too.  I think the pic would be perfect if it had a tractor driving on the side of the road and a car driving the opposite way.

Hello GirlfromVerona ... WOW! Two excellent pictures.

I haven't seen the cattle auction for such a long time. I tried to do a similar building back when I got started with the bat some three years ago. But I was too new to the bat and my efforts were never as good as Colyn's lot. I like the neighborhood in the first picture. It shows that you can have an attractive looking SimCity without all those high wealth homes and skyscrapers. You've done some good lotting. The neighborhood soccer pitch being one of them. I don't recognize the dirt shoulders? Who's are those? I need to do a search I think.

You can post more of your images here ... Please ...  and I'll be your number one fan.

Those are some lovely rural shots indeed, girlfromverona. :) If I'm not mistaken, those dirt sholders are part of PEG's gravel textures, that are available via the Street Addon Mod. The cattle auction looks great, and so is the rural soccer pitch and the drive-in cinema.

Hello GirlfromVerona ... WOW! Two excellent pictures.

i totally agree! very good job, and would love to see some more pics also.  :thumbsup:

Richard, nice job using jeronij's old walls. I've been a fan of your BATs for some time and its nice to see a pic from you.

Thanks for the comments, guys. (It means a lot coming from you, jmyers - you are one of my SC4 heroes!) :)

I'm afraid I can't take credit for most of the lots I've used (football field (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=19729), drive-in theatre (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=600), etc). I only make very basic "filler" type lots and occasionally make minor changes to lots I've downloaded.

Anyway, here are a couple more shots:

Does anyone have any suggestions for putting street bridges "over" transparent water? I've used a bridge from Peg's Stream Kit, but it doesn't fit in quite as well as I'd like. (As you can probably tell, I'm a bit of a perfectionist...)

I use the JRJ culverts from his water set for small streams (you need lots of rocks at the mouths so it looks ok), and the rain mod for legit bridges over big water. Your pics are really nice, tho! I like 'em alot
Title: Re: Show us your Rural areas
Post by: threestooges on May 06, 2008, 11:18:08 AM
That first pic is really nice. The water blends seamlessly and naturally with the land. The bridge part looks good too. As far as putting a bridge over the water, I've never made streams small enough to have to deal with that issue; I usually just widen the stream a bit and make an actual road or street bridge for the three tiles or so. I agree with Toichus about the culverts, but I have yet to find the right combination of effects. I'd like to see what you come up with though.

As far as I can see you fit them beautifully together.

But how did you fit the PTW and Simgoobers canal? In the pic you hid this point with a lot of trees, but that is what I call cheating!

And where did you get those nice fences?

I think the fences were made by Cycledogg - I just got Andreas' filler lots (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1197) and adapted them slightly.

Sorry about the double post, but I think it can be forgiven here ;).

I actually got some time to play the game, or more appropriately made some time for it.  This is the agricultural developement near a city I've been developing.  I've also been testing and developing some filler lots out of my RRP fences, but that plays a minor role in the pics.

Hey Girl!

As Robin said, "Faaaantastic". I like the way you play! I like the dirt lane between the Hog and Dairy farm. I like the dirt shoulders along your roads. I like that you cleared the crops away from the roads on that field to the left. Kind of simulates a farmer running around the periphery of his field with his harvester. The cottonwood trees that you placed along the highway are also my favorite. . . . Thank You.

Tolchius Maximus:  I remember seeing that image in your MD, but I'll say again, great job :thumbsup:.  Very good use of the fog, kinda get chills just looking at that pic.  Only thing I'm not sure about is the lines of rocks.  I'm guessing they are supposed to be dry stream beds, but I think it could be done better.

Warszawa: Really cool effect.  The layout is simple, yet effective, and I really like the transition to the forest.  The combination of trees you used also produces a very good contrast between them.

The second mosaic looks very interesting too, color editing is very creative on both pictures and give very realistic feeling.
Maybe there is a bit too much softening effect on the first mosaic, but only around separate trees, the forest look perfect. Maybe it would be a good idea to use various effects on separate layers and then merge them. If you use PhotoshopCS2 or CS3, you can make also a layer mask and this way you can apply the effect only in these part which need it. (Personally I use Photoshop Elements 6.0 and I can't use layer's masks, this is one of main reasons I'm going to buy CS3  ;D)

Congratulations to all of you for an excellent work!

Now if we could just talk someone into making a 'really' rural version of the rural SAM streets that replaced all low wealth textures with the nice pristine undeveloped street textures, we could avoid those nasty brutish texture lines near the fences.  Wouldn't be very hard, just have to go through the texture sets in question and delete the low wealth textures, copy the zero wealth textures and add the 1 to the copies IID's.  I'd do it myself if I had the time ::).

Oh yea, almost forgot, great picture David :thumbsup:

I know what you mean. I'd do it if I had the know-how. In the meantime, I just plop matching grass everywhere to avoid any texture changes. Bit of a pain, but I think it's worth it.

Unfortanetly its like this, rural areas first, before developement, no schools. After you develop residents, they demand schools, but more people who recieve education are less likely to work in the fields. So that puts farmers at a disadvantage.
Well, I seem to have more than cows jumping in front of cars on the road problem, more like cows protesting at McDonald's. You can't really see the old cattle ranch next door. I figured to take advantage of Chris Adams other trail creation, rather than the lone tire tracks. So, has anyone thought of putting these trails next to their road systems? It looks great in the open space. The gravel ro dirt trails right next to RHW especially.

Good use of having plants blend with the water touching landscape using ploppables. You wouldn't tell the water wasn't originally there, looks natural. The waters a little bit muddy though, I don't know if I'd drink out of that.

Great grass, Chris!

Almost makes me want to do a rural area again. But I can spend my time only once (in contrast to you, apparently, because it looks like you can spend your time at least twice), and now I am just busy with a large seaport area. Though also there are unused areas where your grass would be nice..... Going to try that next time.
Anyway: versatile stuff.

Would it be possible to make ploppable park elements, so that I can plop paths, flowerbeds, monuments, playing areas etc. onto different kinds of park base lots? It would empty my parkmenu tremendously!
The base lots would contain properties like wealth, pollution reduction, YIMBY effects etc, the rest would be eyecandy.

Sorry FrankU, just saw this.

While on the surface, not a bad idea, the problem is the shear number of possible props, lack of control of orientation, and innapropriateness of the 'clustering' system for these kinds of plops.  While I understand the desire to making everything ploppable ;), eventually you end up trying to turn the game into the LE, and if you've even looked at the number of props in LE in a well stocked plugins folder, well... you'd never find anything in your flora menu.  My position is to stick to actual 'flora' and rocks for the flora menu and leave props where they belong.
Title: Re: Show us your Rural areas
Post by: FrankU on June 27, 2008, 01:10:45 PM
I do know about the enormous amount of props. I actually lotted some in the past. While my dependencies folder is about 400 Mb and my entire plugins folder is about 1,3 Gb I know enough.
In fact with your ploppable paths and the already existing ploppable trees, we just need some ploppable flowerbeds, playgrounds, monuments,..... oh, I see what you mean.....  $%Grinno$% yes, the list would be as large as my parks menu is now.
Still it would be nice to see if it works with some basic park stuff.

Very nice job sciurus, I particularly like the pond in the second pic.  The white rocks you use(I always forget which ones those are) stick out a bit much against the terrain, and as such are maybe used a bit too much.  Other than that, I like it.

Heres a rural area of mine that was out of the ordinary. Its a Maxis barn on the left, by itself, but a giant fenced cow lot. The dirt trail there is part of that property, fenced in, so its okay for the cows to be on it, until a truck pulls up to the barn. And yes, that is a single lane avenue you are looking at. I make no explanation here. Believe it or not though, the farm on the right, I had to plop tile by tile, because after too much education after 150, farms don't want to grow in that city anymore. At least stuff can get randomized better than stuff growing.

Educated farmers? Noooo! Indeed they don't exist! *cough*

Yes I also tend to plop farms more and more, because I like to fill my citytiles with cities and towns, but I want them to be surrounded by farmland. And I don't like to see all these abandoned farms and fields.
Would it be an idea for some CAM edition to enable stage 3 and higher farms by higher education levels? Farmers these days are definitely quite educated.

Here are three screen grabs from a city that I am working on at the moment. The city is called StokeWorthy Park.

Aerial View

One of the small villages along the route 99. I grew up in a place similar to this scene. Couple of small industries, a singe engine fire house. I made the SFBT signal house (lower left) into a rural rail station. It is running at 30% capacity.  Many of the towns folk work at the Stage 4 CSX Pig farm (upper left).

There are many crossroads in my cities. The county folk work at nearby farms or at the local small shop.

I haven't decided on a history for my region yet, but should it become an MD the horse is likely to be a major symbol for any flag or coat of arms.  You can find out a history of the real thing (the Uffington white horse) here -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uffington_White_Horse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uffington_White_Horse)

Hello, all, nice use of trees, sim-al2. Your farmland with the small village is nicely laid out and the horse is very creative, zero7.  It looks like Chris' paths that you used for it.  Someone over at ST has used them to fill in between small flora to simulate curving crops--very innovative.  I think there will be many uses for them. 

This is either rural or scenic--rural was handier.

Hmmmm, I feel flattered!
Tag_One; yes, your greenhouse is fantastic! Especially including the ploppable flowerlots.

If you look closely you will see that on some spots two different SAM textures touch each other! It is possible to put two textures together, but:
1. you never know where exactly they will touch and
2. the textures have very sharp edges. Not so beautiful if you zoom in.

I do it by just dragging tow textures into each other and hoping they will do what I want.

Amerikaner, beautiful arcadic landscape.
Very impressive with the beautiful view on the flocks of sheep and the small white house on the open terrain in the forest. It could almost be a real aerial.

mjj55409: nice, very effective. Looks your pictureas are a bit out of focus...?

j-dub: colours are a bit too washed away. I'd turn off the grid also. And I'd turn off the menus. But nice details!

Eliteforce: simple, not much plugins, but very effective and nice. Many rural areas tend to get overloaded by all the nice plugins we find here. The result is not always what you expect.

Voltaic: welcome! Good work.

kj3400: looking nice, but indeed a bit too much of saturation.

Put it to the subfolder with name started from zz, it should work then. If you use PEG's stuff, maybe you have a folder "zzz_Peg Facelift Mods"? It is a good place for an Alternate Rail Mod.

Bonney Village
A small hamlet located steps from Bonney Lake. Founded in 1895, most of the village's first residents worked on continuing the rail lines northward to Canada. Unfortunately, once that new rails were completed, many became unemployed. To this day, the area is still has one of the highest poverty rates in the region.

@giullaume: I love watching it but the only problem is that it's broadcast live at 11pm and goes through till about 3-4am depending on the stage. so waking up on a school morning i'm usually a zombie lol. Cadell Evans came so close last year!

@frdrcklim: wow thanks, I'm flattered!

@RBC: i wish i had a zoomed out pic of that cuz i was really happy with the way the surrounding area turned out.

@Albus Of Garaway: what sort of network are you using in that pic? in my rural areas ive been using streets and roads and i absolutely hate the sidewalk (had to check myself, its pavement in australia) that comes when anything gets built adjacent to it

Here are a couple of screenshots from my current region (with only two cities at the moment). I was greatly inspired by Battlecat's mayor diary and have tried to capture the same feeling he is able to get in his cities. Plus, I feel that as a newbie I have a greater chance of succeeding with the region if I start small, hence the rural agricultural cities   :)

It is very interesting how you got those houses to build that way homefryes, houses on different lots, but still how they built next to each other, and then house that don't appear to have road connection. In this case non Maxis single tile residential would not have it had it come out this way.
Title: Re: Show us your Rural areas
Post by: Copperalis on April 23, 2009, 12:49:42 PM
I have been lurking over at the 3RR pages and have been inspired by a feature of David's Fine Terraforming Tutorials. In Part 1 http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=112.msg237782#msg237782 David has prepared a slightly raised road over the position of a [future] culvert. This is my experimental interpretation of how this could look, using some of Chrisadam3997's Rural Renewal Project lots and David's trees. The contrast of the trees is a bit too stark and some of the flora is overdone but it was prepared quickly as a bit of eyecandy for fun...

Having had a few issues with the fine tuning of the raised road as used by David I tried a different method. The stream was lowered using the 12m Hole Digger lot. The 14m Hole Raiser Lot was then plopped at right angles to the stream bed and raised for 5 tiles. The end tiles were lowered using roads. These were deleted and replaced using the NAM filler lots.

It looks like you know what your doing. This different method works. It looks pretty realistic how the trail has to raise up to get over that pipe.
Title: Re: Show us your Rural areas
Post by: homefryes on April 23, 2009, 08:30:22 PM
j-dub, I owe you a reply here. The houses that appear to have no road connection actually do. On a single FAR (road) puzzle piece, you can build on 2 out of 3 of the tiles (based on the "paths") on either side of the road. Where the remaining tile won't support zoning on one side, it will on the other. It's easier to see with the grid turned on. I haven't built on the other side of that road yet, because of my utility poles. Few residential lots have room for the poles (props on the lots get in the way). Eventually, once I add schools and services, I will be able to zone 3x4 residential lots which will grow R§§§, and they generally have room for the poles. Anyway, you didn't inquire about that, but I thought I'd share. ;)

Title: Re: Show us your Rural areas
Post by: j-dub on April 24, 2009, 06:57:43 PM
No worries. As a NAM associate I already knew the FARR pieces were only pathed 2 out of 3 tiles for growth way ahead of time. I wasn't even referring to that. But the part of the area which I was referring to is circled in yellow. Its the twin houses behind the red roof one. Its the being built in between other houses and having no drive way out I would not want to live in. But that's Maxis. In your case, the open alley ways, that is smart thinking to handling Maxis shacks. What you could do is add some plant some dirt, or gravel trails the flora plop type not lotted or piece type in between the alley ways by the poles. That would look nice.

Oh, duh! I totally didn't get what you were saying before, j-dub! The lots you're referring to are 100% genuine Maxis lots ... no modifications. Regarding the alleys you proposed, I have actually considered taking the rural farm connector TE lots (can't find the file to link it here) and making some alleys out of them, removing most or all of the props and fences, so I can plop my utility poles in the grassy areas! ;) (can't plop my poles where there are props).

Which waterfalls are you using to match the ploppable water? And how do you get the small grey non-maxis plop rocks to be so close together? I have a mod that does it with the white maxis rocks, but I can't do that with the grey ones.

Geoff - Beautiful work!  &apls
I especially like rolling hills, trees (excellent placement  :thumbsup:) and the way you harmonize transit networks with the terrain. The railway on the first pic is just perfect!

Yan077 - beautiful picture too! Riversides are fantastic, I love the left bottom corner with trees and the house roof on the water background; this small harbour is very charming too  :thumbsup:
I saw in the Picture Competition that some people didn't like the camping area, but I like it a lot!  :)
Beautiful work with pastures. At least a part of Chrisadams' pasture flora was intended to harmonize it with terrain textures, but very few people know it and use it that way. Your pastures are a masterspiece! (although I would suggest to use Green Rye Grass or White Flowers instead of the "basic" green grass here and there; it is a bit too luminous for some reason).

Bernhard - that's a beautiful rural picture my friend! I guess you remember your homeland landscapes very good  :), they are close to my heart too, there are many similar rual landscapes in Germany and Poland (maybe German ones are a bit better organized  :D)

Gringamuyloca - yes, you was a good student in our class  :D
Your river is really great, beautiful riversides and the forest  &apls
Also good work with FAR and FARR networks. The only imperfection is the crossing at the top of the second picture (partially covered by trees  ;) :thumbsup:). But transit network custom content is still developed and maybe there is no possibility to make it better at this time. I hope all texture issues will be removed from the FAR/SAM stuff soon  :)
I hope we will see more of your pictures in future! Maybe a Mayor's Diary?...  ;)

That's some pretty amazing work, Fabian! The image gives a really cool effect. I have a few minor suggestions that could make it even better though:

1. Next time when you use ploppable water for a pong, try not to use quite as many rocks. Use a few rocks near the edge and in the water itself, and then use a variety of bushes/logs to fill the rest of the area.

2. Using the NAM smooth road curves could boost this image from a 9/10 up to a 10/10. They really make a huge difference, and you should try them!

Great picture! I love it!

(img)

Most people wouldn't notice things like this, but I do. I love how your main road is a bypass to the town, but that the street through town still follows the same alignment that the main road probably did way back when...

It's for that reason that when I open a new city, I lay down concession streets and sidelines in a large (28x28) grid. From there I build up, only adding roads where traffic requires them. The bonus to this is the fact that the game seems to choose a random neighbour connection to be the one that each and every car takes (Cause the simulator is rubbish and will make 5000 cars take a street and then complain instead of taking the highway 2 squares over). If you wait until the game makes that choice before building your network, you can save a lot of hassle. Especially for large cities.

Not exactly. You can enter the competition with another picture before the 5 pages have passed. In the rules you find this phrase: "If your picture loses, it can't be posted up again until at least five entire pages has passed (not five pages worth of posts, but five whole pages devoid of that picture)."

The detail is in the word. The word "it" refers to "your picture", which implifies that the rule is only valid for the picture that lost and not for another picture made by you.  ;)

(...)

Well, this is one of my tips for you  :).
1. To make a path I used the PEG's Ballast texture designed to use along trails and roads. It is grainy and blends very well with other ploppable stuff (Most of Chrisadams' ploppable paths have a bit "flat" texture which is good in some cases but it sometimes don't fit in rural landscapes. Most often I use his Gravel Path).
But PEG's ploppable paths and pebbles are too large, so I use to place grass along them to cover the path partially according to my needs. This way I can achieve narrow and windy nice path. I use both PEG's grass and Chrisadams' RRP Green Rye Grass depending on terrain textures.
2. Another thing is a perspective, I suggest you to think about it.
- When I'm planning a path, I always try to imagine how would it look in the real landscape. Paths and roads can greatly increase a feeling of the depth. But to achieve it we should avoid placing paths which look vertical on the picture. You did it in the picture you sent to the Picture Competition lately and paths look a bit unnatural there. It is very difficult to make a path looking good from every side, usually we should choose one or two viewing directions (we will use it later to make a picture  :)) and do everything to achieve a nice look from these directions.
- You can make very nice pictures when you look down from the top of the hill (as it is showed on my picture). Terrain textures also look different in that case and they can increase the depth feeling.
The warm glow is an effect of a little postwork in Photoshop  ;)

(...) What are the structures in the top right and bottom left of the image?

These are ploppable items from the last SFBT Mayor Mode ploppable set, mate by Mathe Man and released at the LEX in December 2008 (they are also showed in SFBT Advent Calendar). I suggest you to look at them  :)

Thanks a million Adam  :thumbsup:

I just want to clarify the depth issue - what you are saying is that you should always have paths going on an unnatural angle? I only ever work from the one viewpoint, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I'm going to give it a try today, I'll post a (hopefully) result later in the day on my MD.

Well, I'm not a professional painter or photographer, so it is a bit hard for me to explain the use of perspective in our pictures  :). Basically, if you would lead straight parallel lines from various points of your picture, all of them will meet in the point on your eye altitude at the infinite distance. I suggest you to search the Web and look for perspective tutorials for painters and graphic artists. You will get to know much more than from any of my explanations  :D

1. That's great to break the game grid with ploppable stuff, FAR roads, FARR rails etc., but it must be done in a thoughtful way. If you are creating a ploppable path, it is even wise to have the grid turned on. This way you know where your path actually goes.

2. You should always try to follow the terrain shape when you are making a path. Try to imagine how would it look in the real world on a plain area, on slope or in the valley. Where curves are reasonable and where they aren't? If you will remember it, your path can even emphasize the terrain shape.

3. The viewing direction is important too, slopes play a great role here.
Maybe this isn't the most apropriate place to make a (mini) tutorial, but I'll show you three of my very old pictures. After all they are rural ones  :D

This is a Chrisadams' path - only orthogonal and diagonal pieces. We are looking at it from the valley uphill.

Ideally, when all horizontal lines, if extended, meet at one or two points, it creates the illusion of depth and 3-dimensionality.

Thanks Adam for the invaluable tips. I thinks I'm far way behind you guys in creating beautiful scenes but I guess I'm getting better. Having only had the SC4 last year, I took most of my inspirations from this wonderful website. Here is one of my rural scene picture of a waterfall viewing point, seems that the visitors are taking some snapshots with a waterfall background. It is a custom lot and the fences are from Chris Adam RRP. Appreciate your comments and suggestion.

Adrian, I have the same bridge not far away downstream  ;D nice picture.

Thanks SeanSC4, bat and Adam.
Here's another rural shot of mine which I call urr "keeping off the bluebell"  ;D its one of the best time of the year especially in Lincolnshire when the forest floor is covered with blue little flowers. Info for the bluebell:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyacinthoides_non-scripta#Locations

If anyone notice, there are 2 custom lots in there, the little wooden bridge and the pick-up truck. The fence, dirt track and the bluebell are from Chris Adam RRP. The river is Tahoe's. the trees...Maxis. At first I was using the RRP rural track leading to the cows but it was too perfect so I decided to use the same dirt track with some touch up with PS to give the middle grass effect, and it looks good..well at least for me, urr would be nice if Adam could come up with this type of track..by any chance. Another shot of my rural area can seen in the picture competition thread. Please, I really appreciate any comment and feedback for improvement. Cheers.

Here's a rural area I've been playing around with.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg291.imageshack.us%2Fimg291%2F2285%2Fruralarea0.jpg&hash=72994daa518c7f117d0e750713e13463627996c1)

The electric companies in my RL area don't allow tall trees under power lines, but wildflowers are OK.  This is what I'm trying to recreate in this picture.  The farmer and even the oil companies with wells in this area each brought in a fair amount of money from the electric company when the big line came through, so they were more than happy to put up with it.

Great powerline! Love it.
And I like the perspective of the picture. It makes the FAR road and power line look straight and the lots fractional angle.  :thumbsup:

Spectacular view you have there, Louis! I love the overall feel of the photo - it reminds me of the Taiwan mountain railway, especially the copper bridge. Awesome!

Here's a view of an agricultural town called Suraya, with a railway line cutting across the fields:

Thanks for the link to the terrain mod Badsim!! I was lookign for one today and this one seems like it will do.  I'm having a problem with it.  I crash to desktop when I open a city.  I removed mt last terrain mod and it's dependancies.  Is their a Cleanitol file for this terrain mod??  I can't seem to find the file thats causing this.

Nevermind, I found the thread on TSC site, and discovered I was missing the texture packs.

Welcome to SC4Devotion namspopof

I like the picture called "Agricultural Exposition". I like the way you did the trees to make fields with sheep grazing. The CSX egg farm across the street compliments the Expostition Park too.  I'm not sure what terrain mod you are using but the various shades of green grass is nice. It's a nice screen grab - thank you for sharing.

Hi folks,
it´s time to show my first pic. I´m a real beginner, but I´m so happy about this scene. I have to show you, as a little thankyou to all the batters out there, they made this game playable...

Welcome to SC4 Devotion Eufl :)

Nice railway.  It is not often to see loading/docking areas in SC4 and I like that.  It may be a little cramped though.

You may be interested in this mod (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1810).  It will get rid of those toilet paper trees.  You will have to register and log in here (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/) if you havent done so already.

@cubby,
thanks, but the main part of the village is on the other side of the little creek, left outside of the pic... ;)
@Lowkee,
I didn´t know a thing about this toiletpapertree, before it grew there. Now it has an end with this little mod, cool! Thanks a lot,

yeah, it was something between the sixties and the seventies in the middle of nowhere. Unluckily the region died yesterday cause of a little bug, I have to begin a new one. But before I show a second pic, another little station, Ronstington, in the same county named St George...

Thanks girafe,
it´s crazy, cause my interest was to build some more american neighborhood, but yes, I only can build what I see, and then it will be more german style. But my plugins are more american for now, cause I can´t use a lot of my cc if I´m playing on my netbook. It´s too slow for a big plugin folder  :angrymore:. I hope to show more in the next days, a new region is born, and I´m busy with developing. The god´s may help me to realize some nice rural county without any technical problems... ;D

Yes, the jagged edges is an eyesore, no doubt about that. However, I feel like fixing them is too tedious and time consuming, either through mm plopables or custom lots. 2-3 years ago, I was more detail obsessed than now where I strive for realism and at least somewhat good looks. At least it looks good in region view  :D

I'd say: lots. They look quite repetitious and you won't get that effect with god mode trees.
If you wish you could make lots like these with prop families of trees. Then you would'n have the repetition.
Title: Re: Show us your Rural areas
Post by: Nego on February 23, 2011, 12:22:59 PM
@dahemac: As FrankU said, they are lots, not god mode or mayor mode trees. I downloaded them off of Simtropolis a while back.

@Cali: Actually, the grid is off. What you're seeing is a texture glitch that is in the RushHour version of SimCity 4 for mac. It doesn't seem like there is any way to fix it. If you look over by the wide-radious train track curve, you can see that there are no grid lines on the ground texture.

Thanks for all the kind comments! :)

My Sims have gone mad for vines. The problem is that the vineyards are infested with ruminants.

This is Hill, a city of my SanFrancisco region (ab:1.400.000).
Hill had about 30.000 people and is a little country between sea and mountains.
Its economy is based on tourism and agriculture.
In this shot are visible to the freight station (original PEG modified by me) and the passenger station (JP site).

A big thank you to all modifiers, and to SC4Devotion.
