End of Times - SC4 Terrain Map

Hey guys, long time no see. Sorry, my mind was kidnapped by one of those super-addicting MMORPGs. Me and my moneys managed to escape for the short time being. O_o Anyway, here is my latest N-hood map.


I call it "End of Times" because the roads are cut off and most are dead ends and there are some craters here and there. I tried to make it look end-of-the-world-ish and Apocalyptic like. If I succeeded, I don't know, but using saramkirk's "Neighborhood decorations can be placed anywhere" hack, I managed to place n-hood deco trees close enough and on the roads to give my new neighborhood that abandoned, over-grown look, like so:



More examples of this can be seen here on this photobucket album.

One important note, this map comes clean; no trees, no deco. Mainly because I was having a weird problem with the trees. Every time I decorated the map with trees in SC4, my sims2 game decided it would be cool to clump them all up in a nice, stupid annoying way. I was tired of deleting Evergreens & BV palm trees clumps, one by one from my deserts & concrete terrains so I just went back into SC4 and deleted them all. Sorry, you will have to decorate this map on your own.

Also, this map is big. You will need a camera hack to view it all, if you don't have one, you can still play it, but you won't be able to see the edges of the map. I have been thinking about making a smaller version, one that will not need any camera hacks at all, if I manage to escape from those darn MMORPGS again, lol. Anyway, I hope you will enjoy this as much as am now.
The last 2 screen shots are examples of how I decorated mine in my game.

And lastly, you need no expansion or stuff packs to play new N-hood maps in your game.
