Okay, here is one more to top off my current flight ;o))





Please dl it from Stex

I'm pondering some layouts with odd shaped pieces (meaning: not square), but they are much harder to layout.
Also got to decide what dependency to use next...  :rolleyes:

Really great park set.  I remeber when you first got started with the LE and it is amazing how far you have come.  Very tempted to get into LE myself, but I haven't had the time to even finish up my current project.  Oh well, something to look forward to.

Nice lots, though the pond looks like it has a shallow cross in the middle.  :yahoo_think:

For the junk yard... I might suggest more junk.  Consider using the game default boxes, trash, street garbage & debris props to add more of the chaotic clutter that is common to most junk yards and scrap heaps. The lot looks very cool... but a tad bit too tidy perhaps.  IMHO

Yeah, I'm with you on the junk ... there was not enough chaos yet ;-), so I added a bit...
easy on the garbage, though - the two old geezers running that place want to earn a peso here and there, so they don't like it stinky  :naughty:

So how about this one?

Bingo.  Now that looks like a good rural junk yard. Be sure to give it a bit of a NIMBY effect as no one wants to live next to one.   

* For an urban version, you'd need chain link fence, a beat up old tow truck and... of course, the junkyard dog!!  :wink:



* Basic Rule About the Number of Props on a Lot *

Someone once came up with a rule about there being no more than 3 or 5, etc... props for each tile of a lot. And that's basically good advice for any growable lot or a ploppable that might get plopped repeatedly in a city. The game has to render each prop so the fewer there are... the better the performance.

But for a ploppable lot such as this that may only be plopped once or a just a few times in a city, the game performance will not be noticeably impaired by layering in a bunch of props to create a cluttered look.

Great job !!

So that would be the 'Park Effect'? What would be a reasonable value?

Thanks you RebaLynnTS  :)

what about the Paeng's yellow garden, the modular ind set, and the others creation ?  Haven't found them in the "custom contribution"

Pegasus wanted me to limit what goes in Custom contributions to items directly related to his work.

Any other items would require his permission, with it, I will gladly upload those items.

If paeng were to do a set of the parks with Peg pines on them, those would not be a problem, for example.

Remember, Pegasus is paying for the site, and the space it uses.
