Pfft… Pfft… Is this thing on?
Ah yes, there we are! The Screwpile still standing strong, on its screwed into the rock foundations since… um… I think 2012.
I know I have made more than one vauge promise over the last – few – years – to well update the broken links in the SPEX (may the prop pox of a thousand camels be upon you Dropbox for messing with the public download folder, which was working perfectly fine until you faffed with it.) Well, anyway I am pleased to announce that finally… finally I have now updated all the links so that they actually point somewhere useful, like…
Drum roll please…
Oh… well to be completely honest that will basically bring up the complete content list for all of my lots over at Simtropolis – but good old ST has been going for a pretty long time now and last time I looked it is still going pretty solidly strong.
It could be reasoned that this site isn’t really needed anymore, – yes it did serve a very useful service in the intrim period after the EA Simcity.com site was closed and before all those important Maxis files were uploaded in one place on Simtropolis.
But… hey I am kinda fond of this little site and I have also just paid the mapping, domain name fee again which will keep us good for another two years at least.
As well as updating the broken links, I have been in and had a good tidy up of the pages, created a couple of new ones – in particular there is a new Download Simcity 4 page. No, its not free, but the price is pretty reasonable and it comes all patched and ready to go.
I am also fixing up some of the images that I had hosted at Photobucket – again a while back they decided that you can only now upload 250 images for free – um well I have over 5000 images on my Photobucket so unless I want to pay for one of their reasonably pricey plans, all my PB images now have their lovely (not) watermark all over them.
Also updated are the New Carpathia tabs, which now includes the current Carpathia IV and Tales stories. Mr. Fox still uses Simcity 4 images in his stories for terrestrial and city scenes, so entirely worthy of a menu tab here on the ‘pile.
New SPAM Releases
SPAMMAr – SPAM Municipal Airport
This airport is the second largest, designed to compliment SPAM and MTP communities and will replace the Maxis Municipal Airport.
The parking lots are transit enabled for vehicles.
All costs, stats and lot size remain the same as the Maxis original.
**Note: Additional dependency files are required for this lot. Please see the readme for details.
Way back in June 2010 the MTP abcvs Small Landing Strip one of my first ever lots was released. It was also pre-spam so did not include any of the better props and textures from that pack.
The landing strip has now been given a mini make-over with a few of the newer SPAM props and textures. The movie set trailer check in facilities have been given a small upgrade to an A-Frame chalet. The rollo-gate prop has now also been fixed, and the main gate will now open and close properly. The parking lot is now transit enabled for vehicles and pedestrians.
This lot will replace the Maxis Small Landing Strip in-game however all costs and stats remain the same as the Maxis original.
To install unzip and place the lot file in:
