What I'm currently working on!

To be certain that the beds counts, you have to turn on beds count as homes. Otherwise, theire just there for the feel of the plot. Afterall, as one of the gf's say's in her letter to his MGF - man. .. Ah, you can read that for yourself, it's in the plot somewhere. ;)
 
I started up a recreational plot this time. Hopefully it will not be so massive texture wise. But it's me, so, be prepared. :)

It's called: X-Mas
And you can never guess what that plot is going to be about. :santa1
 
You are just angry because MGF has set a bounty on you. Wonder who will collect that said bounty?
:aye:
 
You cant catch me I'm the ginger bread man lol
 
I started a whole new addon today. I had to, I have all these ideas I have to use. I'll be calling it: OutsideTheBox. And as you might have understood by the name, they will all be HUGE. :load:
 
Lucky me. Fever and a nice cold or some flew of a kind. Can barely hear, both my ears feels like I gave cotton in them. Strangely enough every sound I do hear, has a high pitched echo after it. Luckily I don't have a headache too, that would be unbearable. No, wait, I have that... :sorry

I just go to bed and hope I don't wake up until this gas gone away.
 
@NikVilKok Thank you!

Finally I'm feeling well enough to update the addon with my X-Mas plot. I couldn't do it the way I wanted it to, because I got this flu playing with my mind and body for so long, so I ended up with no time left. It's out now anyway, as simple as possible, but I promise to make either a new one or update this one for next year. Hope you all like it anyway. :)
 
I'm currently porting my first plot I ever did that to my AwsomeTown addon. It's my Hot Dog Franchise plot, for those of you who didn't know about it. And for all of you who did, and been pestering me about finishing it. Well, now I do. :)
 
I have to many idea's and too little time to do them. I'm currently working on 3 addons.
My AwsomeTown addon, the new Outside the Box, today I started an apartment complex addon with the workname: MainStreet.

See you in January again.
Merry christmas and a happy new year!
 
I couldn't stay away.
This is MainStreet

On the picture there are four different plots but eight in total. They are made to be two in hight, but other than that, feel free to do what you want. Ever wanted a cortyard? Now you can do it. Just place them in a rectangle and you're done.

This is just the walls mind you. I still have much to do, on them. But I wanted to show you all how they look. Especially now when kinggath announced his big update.
 
I just noticed a thing I didn't think of. They can actually be placed as a wall too. The back is solid brick and it looks great as a wall. Hmm, rethink the back part and perhaps a defence plot and..... Damn, christmas.. :santa1

Add a couple turrets on the roof.. guard posts on the side/top...

This looks awesome. So, there are four ground-level and four top-level plots there? Where are the top level plots' poles, though?

Regarding defense: You could try a gatehouse of sorts. The building has a door at the front and another one at the back. In the building, facing the rear entrance, is a security desk where the NPC sits. Then you can have search lights mounted onto the wall above the rear entrance, turrets on the roof, and maybe some of these dome turrets hanging from the ceiling inside.
Maybe like:
Level 1: just the apartment guard with his desk and some search lights
Level 2: one turret on the roof or on the second floor. Maybe poking out of a window.
Level 3: two turrets on the roof or second floor, and also a dome turret on the ceiling in the lobby.

I think I posted something like that already, but still.

Both poles are almost at the same place. I managed to get them to be a little off to one and other. So when you build the groundfloor with a concrete base, you immediately put a new plot without any base on top of that one. The poles are situated so that the left one is bottom floor and the right one are top floor. Always.

I like the idea, I'll use that. :agree:
 
The more I think of this, the more ideas I get. I'm now leaning towards a security "room" for those who want to make this as ordinary houses within the settlement. And for those using it as a wall around the settlement, some sort of defence tower to use in the corners of the walls.

And now back to holiday preparations.:santa1
