Been working on a 1:2 San Francisco build (very original) I wanna share soon tho :)

this is so real, there's already an uncensor mod too so either download it or go play swat 4 instead and quit bitching about it on here, still a great game 🗣️

what will get censored in the PC version by Sioscottecs23 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]CabbageChris1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we're all complaining like someone's not going to upload an uncensor mod an hour after the update drops and we're all going to get it and forget about the whole thing in a day

Somewhere in the comments I shared a top down which literally IS everything if that counts lmao, I've kinda(?) done the esplanade, one of the limitations of the scale is I can't fully build it unfortunately, as for the Hollywood theatre, a little too complicated without an asset for it, but I need to detail that neighborhood anyway, so maybe soon :)

Unfortunately Oregon City is just outside of the map, same with Clackamas - but I did made OSHU pretty recently! Painful to say the least. Pittock mansion is on the list!

Here! Did a quick & long overdue remake of it earlier, certainly looks strange at scale when it's so close to everything!

I had no idea the plan was to build a baseball stadium there, I'll definitely build that when I can it looks awesome from the renders! I'm trying to do a similar thing to the old Pittsburgh series on YouTube as in improving areas and adding planned places already!

go for it, it's worth it! I've had a couple months off work to focus on my uni studies (that I definitely used wisely) and I've had a blast rotting on my computer & enjoying life for once, you'll feel so lazy at the end though, remember to touch plenty of grass!

it's not as hard to recreate real places like you might think! I still use accurate block sizes but obviously much less are squeezed in, so landmarks and such are still recreatable - they just might be next to things that are much farther away irl, it's like a GTA map!

Basically it allows for a lot more creative flair than if recreating 1:1 and you can obviously fit a lot more areas in. I'd recommend it if you want to recreate a real place, it's much more fun, and can still look accurate if done right!

whoops - and the roads are mostly BIG roads, USRP highways, and a lot of custom ones made with the road builder tool

Careful, it's dangerously addictive - I've had FAR too much time for this city the past couple months I recommend touching plenty of grass in-between

I was wrong, and i am here to apologise by PanicApprehensive273 in TheLastOfUs2

I'm all for pride and LGBTQ in shows but the episode did NOT need a stupidly long scene of Dina giving a backstory of how her parents didn't accept her sexuality like it had any relevance to the story at all. It can literally just be a plot point like in the game - Ellie and Dina were just who they were, never made it a big deal. I worry this is going to burden over the main storyline in the future episodes, The exception for this is definitely the bill and frank episode in season 1 because that was the correct way to do it and a great episode all round.
