I was doing some calculations, and if I made Cross Lands a single plopable unit, it would be 48 tiles wide, by 76 tiles deep. So, I am thinking about doing in parts, and letting you put it together however you want.

[CasperVg]

Thanks, does this set have bad, good or no influences (neutral) on your cities?

[RebaLynnTS]

If you mean the MSS, most of it is pure eyecandy, however, the offices will have jobs, use power and water, and produce a very small amount of garbage.

Cross Lands on the other hand, should be all functional, as mostly CS$$ and CO$$, and maybe some R$$. As I under stand it, CS, CO, and R plopables work on a limited basis though.

[dragonshardz]

actually Commercial and Industrial plops work, but Residential plops do NOT. I can't explain but basically they always abandon.

[Krio]

Residents simply can't get out of the building, I'm sure that someone like wouanangine, Cal or RippleJet could explain this better. So drop residental ploppable.

[autoVino]

I've gotten them to work.  You just requier pre-zoning and existing development (plop it on the existing development), and then it seems to function correcly.  But I'm not sure how the gears turn behind this one.

[RebaLynnTS]

So, if we want to make plopable residential, then we need to let folks know to prezone (and let develop) the area you want to plop it in. That is good to know.

In order for plopable Res to work, you must have the demand for it in the first place. Often the easiest way to be sure is to plop it on a zone that's already grown. As far as I can tell, that is the only real restriction.
But could you also make at least a few growable lots already put together? There is always a need for custom growables in the early & mid stages of the game.

[RebaLynnTS]

All of my early Storage Centers, have both plopabable and growable versions, and if I ever start making residential buildings, I will no doubt do the same with those. There are some things I'd like to do, that I think might be cool, but are a bit too sci-fi for a lot of folks.

[RebaLynnTS]

I have a question, all of the corner parking lots face in one direction, do you think it would be a good idea to add reversed versions of them?

[RebaLynnTS]

I decided to do them anyway. I have not had any new pics to show off, as I am doing Modding work now. I'll have a whole new set of fence props posted soon, then a revamp of MSS 1.

[Pat]

Hey Becca Im home now woohoo!!! Loooking real good and Im glad to see you chugged along here...      I do agree that a reverse corner would be a great add...

[xxdita]

Modding is fun, but the pics of the process generally aren't that interesting 

Looking forward to the fences. And what kind of sci-fi stuff?

[RebaLynnTS]

Pat: Glad you made it home safe and sound.

Nate: Wait till you see the new fences I have planned   I've been working on designs for buildings in my Novel, to maybe use to ilustrate it. The first one is the house of my main character Tran Solas (Pronounced Tron So-laws).

I am going to be posting my newest Fence Prop pack shortly, and this is the fences it will include.

[Pat]

Becca I think it would be cool to see that house!!! My wife writes and we do have a writers group if you are intrested check my profile for the link  .... those fences are looking real good!!!

[RebaLynnTS]

I've already visited your writers club, and am thinking about joining

I am glad you like the fences. I am having some dificulty with the house, but I am sure I'll get it worked out soon enough.

[Jmouse]

Love the variety of fences. Guess they'll be in a prop pack -- sorry I'm still pretty low on the learning curve!

Joan

[RebaLynnTS]

Yes, they will be in a prop pack. And, you know, we all started at the begining.

[JBSimio]

The fences look great!  I especially like the wood and lattice combination piece... nice touch.   

JB

[xxdita]

Have to agree with JB, the lattice is outstanding. Looking forward to seeing these in-game.
