Nice video! I love the part where the drone flies right through that running woman's back! :^Þ Looking forward to seeing more of the park.

Since RCT3 can be installed anywhere, you should make the path to the install directory generic in your information, such as this: --- The contents of "Style-Themed" go on: {RCT3 Install Directory}\Style\Themed --- (also note, the slashes are backslashes, not forward slashes) For example, my RCT3 is installed on "D:\Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum\" This way, regardless of where the person has installed their copy of RCT3, the instructions still apply. Hope this helps! :^)

True, but more often than not, a set mostly consists of one kind of thing... landscaping, walls, etc. For the odd ones, you just look at what it has the most of and use that. If it's too difficult to tell, just consult others or make your best guess. It can always be moved later if it turns out it really belongs elsewhere.

FWIW, I second this motion. Categorizing into CTR/CT, CFR, CSO, and Utilities would make finding certain downloads much easier here instead of everything being in one big grab-bag folder for all RCT3 items. Edit: It might even be worthwhile to divide CS into subcategories based on its menu sort in-game (all Building sets in one category, all landscaping in one category, etc.) because there are just SO MANY CS sets.

I can help!

Happy Halloween (and Nevada Day) to you too! I love the look of the drop-off! The lighting is excellent and the centerpiece has just the right touch of spooky. Can't wait to see the interior of the park when you get to it.

I was more lamenting this than the fact that stores stock Christmas so early because of it. I think it's a shame that Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving don't get as much public attention. I don't really blame the stores... they're just following demand. It's the demand (and lack thereof) itself that I'm annoyed by the most. I remember a time when I was a little girl in the 70s that after Halloween/Nevada Day people would decorate for Election Day and Veteran's Day, putting up red, white, and blue bunting, stars, American and Nevada flags, etc., then after the 11th they would decorate for Thanksgiving with turkeys, Pilgrims, Indians, cornucopias, etc. With the Autumn change, the decorations were fitting. All that said, I will die on the hill of denouncing stores and theme parks decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving! It's just tacky and smacks of over-consumerism and exploitation of the season. (DLA, my favorite park, is the most guilty of this... slapping up their Christmas decor the day after Halloween) I don't like it and never will.

No Christmas before Thanksgiving. For us, it's a matter of not losing respect for the other holidays that come after Halloween/Nevada Day (yes, Nevada still celebrates our Admission day, which was October 31st, 1864, as a State holiday) and before the Christmas season. Election Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving basically get ignored at most theme parks because they're pushing to get all the Christmas money they can... same at most stores. It's a shame, really. I for one would like to see more places hold off on Christmas stuff until AFTER Thanksgiving to give those holidays a chance to shine. (my local WM has had Christmas stuff out for almost 3 weeks already! Ugh!)

Wow! That was a long video, but you showed off some amazing details!

Rush is very well done! Love the night view... the lighting is perfect!

This is probably the Mom in me, but I still hold a special place in my heart for "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown (1966)". It's innocent and funny and reminds me of when my boys were little and we would go Trick-or-Treating together. Now they're all grown up and too old for all that. :,^/ As for horror movies, my taste trends toward the more intellectual... movies like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)" or even older like "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931)". (which BTW was amazing given the limited technology of the time) For more modern horror I still trend toward the older stuff like "Alien (1979)" or "The Thing (1982)" and other sci-fi horror movies. (my SO likes vampire movies... blech!) I also get a kick out of old B-rate sci-fi horror films of the 50s-70s like "Phantom from Space (1953)" and "Night of the Lepus (1972)" that are just fun to watch. (and my boys are worse than Tom Servo and Crow from MST3K!) Paranormal films like "The Amityville Horror (1979)" or "Poltergeist (1982)" or "The Omen (1976)" are okay sometimes, (and far creepier than any of the "body horror" films like "Saw" or the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies that are just gross, not scary) but I have to be in the mood for them. Otherwise they're just something to watch while I do my grocery list. :^Þ Great topic, @Cody! I look forward to other peoples' perspectives.

Thanks. @Anon-P, even an All In One liquid cooling solution will eventually fail. It's inevitable. Hoses break or leak... pumps fail... radiators get clogged... etc. Entropy wins every time! :^Þ In MY use-case, downtime and data loss are far more important factors than cutting-edge speed. Case in point, just a few weeks ago, one of my oversized CPU fans failed. No big deal... CPU temp went up to a whopping 65°C at idle and I knew something was wrong right away, but I didn't have to shut my system down until I got a replacement... just not run anything CPU stressful for a few days. We could still watch shows and movies and the file server remained up while the new fans were shipped. I got replacements for both CPU fans and both my main case fans for $70 since I figured if one fan failed it's likely all of them were on short time since they were installed at the same time. System was down for all of 2 hours one day while everyone else was away from home while I swapped them out and re-cleaned the interior. (I clean it every start of Spring and Fall so it'd recently been cleaned, but re-did it anyway since I could) Now CPU temps are down in the high 40s at idle again (high 60s under stress) and there was no notable downtime for anyone in the house. It's a matter of priorities. In my use case, reliability and up-time are more critical since everyone in my family depends on the file server being up for shared access and at night during family time we all depend on it to watch our shows and movies. That it can also run RCT3 and KSP with tons of mods is nice, but running the latest games at 120 fps isn't our use case. Also, you can't get 16 tb SSDs for massive video data storage of our library of 1,300 movies and over 10,000 TV show episodes that we ripped from our DVD/BRs... SSD that big just aren't practical and their reliability is too low for our use case. Your use case may be different so you have different priorities... and that's okay too! Hope that helps you see my point. :^) Edit: Saw you reply to @Kablary while I was writing a reply. :^)

Welcome to PC! We have a great little community here. Looking forward to seeing your creations!

Thanks! As you probably can tell, I'm a huge AiW fan! Not my hair, though. Luckily a good wig can hide my red hair well! (a red-headed Alice just doesn't look the same)

I learned electronics from my father when I was 8 years old. He taught me computers in my teens and for a time during college, I was in the PC repair field. One lesson from all that stands out: EVERY part eventually fails. It's not a matter of if, but when. I bought the most reliable SSD available and it still failed after only a couple years. I like hardware that's reliable because I've lost too much data due to failures in the past. Hardware is replaceable with money... data is much harder to replace because it requires time. I lost months of data when my SSD failed and it was not retrievable due to the nature of SSDs. Platter HDs that fail can have their data salvaged, and if you set it up right (such as I have with a RAID 1 arrangement) a HD failure is just a matter of inconvenience... simply pull the dead drive, replace with a new HD, let them sync up, and you're right back to where you started with no data loss. (admittedly, with a 16TB RAID, syncing takes a while, but it does get there eventually) It's why I dislike liquid-cooled thermal solutions... too many single points of failure. Lines clogged or pinched? Dead CPU. Pump dies? Dead CPU. Fans die or are jammed? Dead CPU. Line leak? Dead CPU... and likely dead everything else. Additionally, my system is our primary entertainment center and data server of our home network... and it sits in our living room under our TV for watching movies and shows on. Silent operation is a must-have. Thus why I have a fanless GPU thermal solution with an oversized heat sink and large diameter case fans that are whisper quiet. (the larger the fan, the more air it can move at a lower RPM, and it's RPMs that make audible noise) Each to their own, but my system demands are specific which requires specific solutions. For your uses, maybe an SSD is good enough... but for me, reliability is much more important than speed. :^)

My family did the Mickey's Halloween Party at DL Anaheim back in 2012. It was okay, but HUGELY crowded! The best part was that I got to dress up as Alice and my oldest son as The Mad Hatter, which made for some very special memories!

Thursday last I lost my best friend John to a sudden stroke. He was only 56. Not posting this up to get sympathy or anything, (I've gotten plenty of that from everyone) just noting it here in case I go MIA for a bit, you all know why. John loved making parks with me on RCT3. He even got it for the Switch so he could flesh out some design ideas when he was at work. (he was a graveyard shift security guard, so he had lots of dead time at night) We also did a lot of stuff with KSP, including making a Mod together, so that's why I'm focusing my efforts on KSP for the moment... I want to update the Mod we made and dedicate it to him. Thanks in advance for your understanding. I'll be back soon. :^)
