Very nice! However, some of those apartments are bit TOO repetitious. You might want to use the BuildingPlop cheat to place some more various buildings. It helps alot!

Oh! what is it? I never heard of it! May you tell me about it please?

@Julien- its here: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=18212

REad the directions on how to use the cheat. It allows you to scroll through a list of all maxis and CC buildings (in alphabetical order) and plop it. And it is handy- I use it all the time. 8)

btw- I think there is a later version- I will edit this post when I find it.

EDIT: Okay, here is a version that has both buildingplop and other cheats, so its your preference.

Oh wow, I actually have that mod already and I've never used it. I'm definitely going to try it out when I get home now. Thanks Evillions and Sky Guy! :towelwave:

Now a brief look at some suburban housing in Celeste. Thanks go to Sky Guy and Evillions for helping me learn how to use the buildingplop mod, which resulted in this neighbourhood being built.
It's a traditional Victorian suburb that was built after Cattala became a colony.



If your opinions are good, I'll continue to use these buildings for the suburban spread, alongside the Mediterranean housing in Calora.

Wow thats great, how did you plop them? or are they just landmarks?

I used the Buildingplop tool, Sky Guy posted some links to guides to using and downloading it a couple of posts above in this thread.

It's easy to get the hang of, and incredibly useful, and I would never have been able to build that neighbourhood without it. (thanks again to both Sky Guy and Evillions)

I am glad I could help! And the neighborhood looks awesome!

On a side note: if those are residential buildings, because they are plopped, they might become abandoned very quick- depending on conditions, but hopefully it wont be a problem for you.

Ah okay , well I haven't pressed the play button on it in ages so it probably won't matter.

A preview of what's to come... What do you think about the parks and canal? More Imperial homes will be built here, but what else would you like to see in this area?

Ooohh Cattala! :cheers:
Small parking lots and fountains should do...

Wow, thats amazing I absolutely hate it , just kidding, keep up the good work, I suggest getting the train tracks ugly sides (The brown things) removed, I forget which mod, but I bet someone will figure it out

Nice! I like to see some more pics soon!

awesome work- it astounds me every time!

Oh and the mod forth mentioned is here:

Thanks Sky Guy and Evillions!
And thanks for the link.

No problem! Trust me, makes you wonder why I have good-looking cities. 8)
If you started doing custom lotting, it would make it a lot better.

I can't use Lot Editor at all, let alone any of the other kind. Heck, I can't even use GIMP! :!:

I'm planning an overhaul of Seina, which I'm unhappy with and haven't updated in nearly two months now. So you could be seeing some new updates from that area soon! I'm also considering building an industrial area in Calora, if I can't get these buildings I downloaded to work using BuildingPlop:



I can't find them in the menu.

I was wondering if you'll do in the future, a port, cuz we never saw one...

Maybe they're with SOMY and not with Mediterranean stuffs on the BP list Hope I helped, if not, sorry.

I cant wait to see what you do with Seina!

Oh and Julien is right, those buildings are growable residential (6x6?) (no plop)
also, most of somy's stuff is located at the bottom of the BP menu. they don't usually have names, so you just have to select each one to see if it's what your looking for. hope that helps!

Someday I will do a massive port for Jennai - I've barely started building that city though, and I'm currently working on Celeste and Calora. I'll check for the SOMY thing tomorrow, thanks for the help guys.

*jaw drops*

That's great! I used to hate those rowhouses...

I found them about half an hour ago in my landmarks menu, having downloaded them a couple of weeks ago. And then I just built that. ::
I'm really pleased with how it's come out (it's finished now), there's a lot of nice waterways and it's really modern too.
