So you want to go pro style, huh?

Well, than you should check out Silvarret's Let's Play RCT3 Series.

And than you should switch from ingame objects fully to CSO's.
Because ingame stuff and pro/expert creations won't fit in any case.

With ingame default objects you can only build average, but far away from pro.
But don't ask for a list of importent cso's, because that would blow up the thread itself.


So long, Cobra

It's funny you should say that, I've been browsing YouTube for the past hour and have been watching his videos, very informative.

I assume I will need CS packs for trees, buildings, coaster supports, coaster catwalk sets? The only thing I'm curious about is the coasters themselves. Does it matter if I use in-game coasters or do you recommend I spend time to really customize my game properly complete with CSO's for everything?

I can't wait to really get this park on the go

Thanks,
-Tamzin.

Good to hear that you check out Silvar's videos out.
His tutorials are helpful and his architecture skills are outstanding. Definitely one of the best designers at the moment.

You can use ingame coasters, but i prefer "CTR" versions of the ingame ones, that have more positive aspects:
- no ugly ingame station platforms
- more trackparts available on most types (mostly on B&M and Intamin ones)

For tracked rides other than coasters i would also choose CTR's more, but it's not necessary.

You're right, CSO's for more/less everything , because ingame objects lack on detail, quality, variety and
versatility, in my opinion.

For some basic importent CSO/CTR creators:

- Parallax / TheCodeMaster / Coasterfreak90 / Technodude (CTR designers)

- StationJimJr (creator with a lot of variety in his CSO sets, that covers up different themes)
- ShyGuy (MainSteet and AlpineVillage sets are one of the most used sets ever)
- Ralfvieh (german CSO creator with nice usable sets)
- OldSpice (Trees and Foliage are the sign of this creator)
- Osudenny (fountains and tropical sets if you need)
- Belgabor (invisible stuff, perfect for completly cso build parks with peepable restaurants, etc.)
- Weber (let it "rock", you want rocks, than you need sets from him)
- Vodhin (path accesoires like lamps, trashbins, benches in high quality, especially lights)

For pathcovers (that are necessary for CSO parks) you have "Briantjuh94", "Shiggs713" and "Shyguy".
They have the most variety in it and fits to other sets from other creators if it comes to borders, etc.

Now the coasters, well each coaster type has more/les personal cso sets that covers up the support stuff and also the goodies, like catwalks, breaks.

Most common ones are:

Mobys SteelJungle v1&v2 (the main set if it comes to supports, especially for B&M coasters)
CPciscos Moby's SteelJungle Addon (a great addon for Moby's support set)
SafariJsArrowPack (for supporting ArrowDynamics and Vekoma)
BigBurgersTimber v1&v2 (for supporting Woodies)
Gary Roach's Coaster Goodies (Catwalks for B&M's but can be used for other coaster too)
CoasterJoes (Intamin supports, footers & B&M connectors)
Technodude (LIM's, LSM's, Brakes for a lot of different coaster types)

There are so much more great and useful sets out there, so sorry that i can't cover up all of them .
The CS-Depot "CS-List" is your first station for CSO's, CTR's and CFR's.
If they have not working links, google is your friend and at last ask us if you searching for a specific set without knowing the name of it

And now have some fun with downloading hundrets of sets and checking them out.

So long, Cobra

So many more, you just need to browse and see what you need. I'd be glad to help you find
a set if you are having a hard time finding it.

Only thing i can suggest is that you go for the hints that aecrouch7113 and Cobra pointed out.
They do my job if i'm not that active here, and they do it great.

Normally i'm one of the members who pushes new ones into a right direction and what they could do or shouldn't do. Sometimes in a really directly, roughly way.
But if you post something more of your work, you'll become some feedback.

At this early stage i can't say to much.
For the future i would recommend to show your screens via the "insert image" option.
It's easier for us to see directly whats going on, than a link that leads to a other webpage.
