I propped this one up, but there is still a lot of room on the 3×3 plot. I placed lights, benches, entry points, garbage, air circulation, etc. – vanilla props only, so no DLCs or downloads required.
About…
Have you ever over-engineered a project? Like, worked on something and put more effort into it than you needed to? That was this little guy. At first, I thought, why not build a cute little retro gas station? And, then I thought, why not make said gas station into an electric vehicle charging station, that’s kind of the thing now, isn’t it? So I built a bunch of extra geometry to make a charging station and garage. Then I put the asset in the game… And then I started to think again. Here’s a look at what it was[i.imgur.com]. I started to wonder if it was really worth it.
By the time I’d built the gas bar and sign, I was having a hard time deciding RICO or not. You see, the asset I had made had 1024×2048 textures. I’m loathe to do that now unless it’s something really special – which this wasn’t. Long story short, the building looked good, but the gas bar and sign did not. So I cut the weight and threw this together. Heck, I even tried it as a power station, so I could get the sign to rotate. All of it, not really worth the effort.
I guess this would be a cautionary tale from me to you about stopping when you should probably stop. 😀 Simple is good sometimes.
Please enjoy – and do let me know if something’s not working.
