Rural Renewal Project

[FrankU]

Chris, I forgot to congratulate you with RRP's 1st anniversary.

There is only one thing I need to say: my rural areas look very different since your files have come out. Thanks a lot for that!

[bat]

I also congrats you for one year of RRP!!

And the newest work looks excellent! Nice pictures of it!

Looking forward to more...

I so badly want to download your flora mods but seems the download server doesn't want me to have them.  Are they posted anywhere else?

Thanks,
Rich

This is amazing stuff. I always thought the Maxis farms and stuf were so bland that I never used them. I will have to rethink that now. Looks like I got back playing just at the right time. So, is the dam functionable? Will the gates go up and down and release water at random times? Also, someone mentioned growable ranches, or at least ranches with jobs. Are those possible? If I do a rural area, I would like it to contribute to the overall RCI indicators...

Papab2000: sent you a PM

Grneyes:  While the dam's really mostly eyecandy for creating a reservoir lake, it'll be functional in that cars can drive over it.  The gates will open and close, though not randomly.  There's just no way to do that for this case.  Finishing up that part of it is actually what's holding up finishing the dams .  It'll have to wait till I get some more time again.

I'd looked into growable ranches early on, but it can't be done the way I wanted to be able to with transparent base textures (well, there is a way, but you'd have to remove the zoning 'color', so you couldn't see where you'd placed zones  ).  Then putting in fencing would still need to be done by hand.

What can be done (and it's what I usually do) is zone some ag to get the actually main lot, then unzone all the fields around it and use that as the actual ranch 'jobs', where the rest (fences, etc.) is just for visual effect.  The main problem with this is that most of the jobs that come from ag zoning actually comes from the fields themselves, which means you actually end up with fairly few jobs.  However, ranches require (and hire) far fewer workers per acre than most crops, so it's actually kind of accurate.  I just wouldn't try to build a whole town based on this system  .

Chris, ditto what he said. I love your work, honestly I have not been this exited about a simcity project in years. I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me where I can get all of your available work. Thank you! 

[Chrisadams3997]

Sorry guys, I'll get 'em put back up soon.

[BoyMuc]

Sorry guys, I'll get 'em put back up soon.

Hopefully, they make their way to the LEX soon, this would eliminate those problems.

I hope so too, as the Summerton Mill Farm {http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=20532&v=1} on the STEX lists it for one of the dependencies.

Does anyone know how to get these file?  I've tried going to the download page but it says nothing. 

[deathtopumpkins]

dracer: Look a couple posts above:

Sorry guys, I'll get 'em put back up soon.

They're not up on the site anymore.

[cggg]

can't wait until they are back up, everything here is so awesome.

Please add me to the list of admirers of your RRP items and I will be watching for them to appear on the LEX or the other site/

Those are great Ranch entrances, something that is definantly American. The cattle guards are very realistic.

Testing, testing!!  One, two, three, four. A, B, C, testing.  Anybody there .

Seriously Chrisadams it's been a couple of weeks since you said you were going to reload your great work.  I figure you must be running into some RL issues that us retired old foggies don't have.

Since you don't seem to have a problem with us having your files I want to shout out to some of your other fans who have the Betas to try and get them.

Anybody out there have them and willing to share?   Let me know and I will get my email address to you.

buckbeach, folks...

I think we need to respect whatever is up right now with Chris and not start doing something that this community has never officially condoned- distributing another's custom content files without express approval (that means like a PM saying "Okay, Mr X, you have my permission to redistribute my files to others").  It's only been a week or so since our friend was heard from last- let's give him the opportunity to do things the way he would want to as opposed to the way we would want to.  The stuff here is great- I know it's hard to wait for it- but maybe Chris is up to something even bigger that's taking his time right now.

Thanks for respecting this request.  You can be assured that if there is anything SC4D can help Chris do in terms of making his files available, we will.

These definitely need to show up on the LEX.  Count me in as an interested party.

From everything that I have seen here I have to say that this is one of the greatest projects. It makes me sad that I can see these wonderful things in action right now but well, I will have to wait and check on when they shall be available "again", neverthless I am looking foward to that day.
