Luna City Ver5 - SC4 Terrain byVezz

Update: I thought this post needed better screen shots, so I added an overview shot & another ingame shot.

Luna City was meant to be played as a Downtown or Main hood, though you can play it as whatever you want. Sorry, there is no room for beach lots and many of the roads do not connect to each other and are stranded. My idea was to make a Futuristic 'On the Moon' or 'Mars' N-hood with cities inside the craters. People would drive spaceships or Hover Cars, so they would have no need for roads other than lot placement or knowing your address. Houses would also 'float' in the air and of course, there is no water on the moon. That's the reason behind the lack of water. There are 3 craters in this 'hood. A large one, a Smaller one and a Tiny one off to one corner. They all have roads inside. Only the medium one is a 'complete' crater. There is also a flat field off to one side of the 'hood for more lot placement. The terrain is flat & share friendly. You can place any sized lot in various places from the tiniest lots to the largest lots and other sizes you might have that don't come with the game. (1x1,1x2)

The main idea behind this hood came from the Sci-Fi Theme Challenge that MTS2 had a few months ago. Because of my health, this was not finished in time or uploaded, but that's ok, it gave me time to perfect it and get it the way I want it. Plus, I had always wanted to make a moon-ish type 'hood for my alien sims. I have played this 'hood as both a Downtown & a Main 'Hood and there are a lot of roads. It will take a long time to fill up this 'hood.




There are additional screenshots here , that will better help you get an idea of what Luna City looks like, including an over view in SimCity4 and more in-game screenshots.


{ How to Install }
> Please place all PNGs files & the Luna City SC4 file in your:
~> My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\SC4Terrains folder.
Or the SC4Terrains folder of where ever else you have your game installed. It will not work if placed in your Downloads folder.

{ Please Note }
> Yes, you need a Camera Hack to view this 'hood. The default Maxis Camera only show the part of the hood where there are no roads so you won't be able to actually play it. Many good Camera hacks may be found here on MTS2. Personally, I use GunMod's Camera Mod, but any other Camera Hack that lets you see to the end of the map would do fine.

> This terrain is treeless and deco free. It will not lag your game when you view it, but you will have to decorate it yourself.

> There are no lots included with this n'hood. It's just the terrain or map.

> Concrete & Dirt terrains will only show up right if you have Nightlife (or higher?) installed & a good video card. You can have Nightlife installed & still choose Concrete or Dirt terrains, but the ground color/terrain will not show up without a good video card.


Additional Credits:
I guess GunMod for making the camera hack. Without it I always get nauseous when viewing the neighborhood.

Also Calafair on deviantART.com for making the tiny Japanese text brushes I used in the red png. I have no idea what they say, but I thought the tiny text made it look like you where looking down on Luna City from your spaceship's computer screen.
