I'm looking for rocks but not ones this big

It would be great if they were different sizes

perty cool, i don't know what I can do with them yet, but I'm sure i can find something if i play around with them. I also like the fact that you can interact with things in or under the rock.
thanks

If you only knew the lot that I finished last night, you would crack up laughing. I was going to submit it today, but now I'm going to go home and add these to it. Awesome job.

Fluttereyes, there's still one more set of rocks I'm extracting, though I'm uncertain of the size yet. If someone can tell me (in simple easy to understand walkthrough style instructions) how to reduce the size of them, let me know. I'd be more than glad to do that, as I was hoping for some small rocks too. I might try recoloring some of the existing rocks, just for a bit of variety in texture. Having two rocks the same size with different textures can make it look a lot more natural.

Babu, I've been thinking of making some sort of cave house. Then my video card took a dump before I saved anything, so haven't reattempted yet. Gonna wait til I finish getting all the rocks.

Kribensis, can't wait to see how you use these. I think they'd be great for mini mountains and cliffs, great depths of water, and just geoblending/acrostacking goodness. Because you can get them enveloped into the land or something. Big, but perhaps useful. I see lots of waterfalls in the near future...

Judynu, you're most welcome! XD

Argh, I just couldn't do it Gillian. It would have involved too much major surgery on the lot, and redoing a dozen screenshots. I basically would have had to start over. But you have my promise they're going into another lot very soon.

And holy crap! Some of these rocks are PRETTY DAMNED BIG!

I knows, they're huge. Hence the name, Ginormous. I'm so glad that word is a real word now, it's something I've always said. Hmmm, how often do I need to say Ginormous? ;D Send me links of your creations.

Gillian, it would be great to have some sandstone coloured rocks or similar, I hate those grey rocks, they're so bland. The rock in riverview is ok but still a little big and when you have cc switched off, all the riverview stuff doesn't show. Stupid EA

I hope someone can tell you how to resize these, I'd love decent rocks for my waterfalls

Can you find me some decent sandstone texture please, and I'll do it for you. Please use only free stock. Otherwise I need the artist's permission first.

As for the waterfalls, try geoblending these into the ground a bit. More work, but maybe it can work? You'd most likely have to place all your rocks before you added water to the pond, otherwise, you'd get weird water levels, etc. Waterfalls are such a pain XD

Newone, I just uploaded a wall that was a request, a siding clapboard with flashing on both ends. Useful for single wall pieces on fireplaces, etc. I might do a set and then upload a wall set or something all together. Or build items. I'm trying my hand at terrains.
