Monkey Island

[dedgren]

Bruce, I hope it doesn't seem like I've waited a year plus to comment here and only to be picky about something.  I couldn't help but notice, though, the shadows from the palms and towels/beach blankets in your beach pics.  What is with those?

I am actually working with several other folks in brainstorming a way to do ploppables like the towels that don't cast shadows.  I'd be interested, though, in knowing more about the palm trees- those blob shadows are just gross on such an otherwise great pic.

Okay- that out of the way, I'm going to read back over the past year or so and catch myself up.  I know in advance that it's always a good thing to spend time on Monkey Island.

Back over the weekend.

And now, our feature presentation

Sometimes I just want to putz around with Sim City. So, I have a region or two not part of Monkey Island that I use when I want to do something different. In one region, I build big. In one, I build random. In the random one, I had a medium size tile I decided to put something lower density on. As I was building, I noticed that there were tons of SimGoober's buildings popping up all over town. Now, for those of you not familiar with SimGoober, he is one of the most prolific and popular builders in the history of SimCity 4. His contributions on the LEX have combined downloads in the millions. And if you are making a realistic looking city, it just would not be complete without something from the SG stable. So, I decided to start counting just how many different SG works I had in the city. I combed through fairly carefully and took some pictures. And those pictures are now a tribute to one of the sim world's greatest builders.

Welcome to SimGooberfest!


There's no storyline here, just a compilation of some of SimGoober's works. His commercial buildings are essential to any town and he has plenty of residential and other buildings as well. Enjoy, and if you don't have these buildings, hit the LEX and stock up!
































































And now, the challenge:

Let's see your favorite SimGoober pictures. Post away and we will all admire them
