Hello,
I am very new to the community, but I have experience with modding and scripting, and I believe I can help this community with new content and new mods.

Welcome to the community, always more than happy to welcome in new content.
In response to your query about copyright issues, I don't believe this would at all be a problem. 90% of the mods available for the game are non-fictional and therefore are normally using logos, names and the like but none of them have had problems regarding copyright. While legally I'm not sure but I do think you'll be fine doing it.
Those are some interesting and unique ideas for mods. The game has been lacking a proper Airport Mod and I would love to see one set on a beach. Are you able to explain the Universal idea a bit more? How would it work, do you have things like security officers or first aiders on the park with the ability to call in local services from off-map etc?

I think that in the way of copyright issues, as long as you do not display the brand in poor light and charge (or accept payment) for the mod, you should be fine. None of the modders to my knowledge in this community have gotten issues with using trademarks on their vehicles in their mods.
I too would like to know how you would go about a Universal studios mod. I think it would certainly be a different take, dealing with the daily issues, from minor emergecies, to major events like fires, and overnight things like people breaking in, vandalism, etc. Also have things like ride break downs perhaps to make use of a technical service. Wondering though how you would handle the thing that the game has in place that make it what we're used to. Realistically, the majority of emergencies would be responded to on foot there, as security and first aiders usually walk (perhaps have golf carts too) so how would that work out. There's a fair number of challenges, and I'd be interested in seeing how you deal with those more than anything else I think,

There would be security standing around the map
2 staged medics in the park
A fire Cheif on stand- by
Engineers at some rides and others standing around
There would be incidents like
Medical:
heart attack
Pushed Civilians
Broken leg or arm
Fight
Shots fired at gate
Ect..
Police/ Security:
Fights
Shots Fired at gate- swat from off map
Terrorists attacks- call swat from off map
Vandalism
Ect..
Fire Department: (Off map)
Small fire (somehow)
Firework incident
BLS for medical
Ect...
Engineer:
Broken Down Rides
To shutdown a ride because of injury
Ect...
You can put suggestions down for me!
Maybe we can have supervisors that you can have run to a scene or golf cart or other transportation..
Or even workers to keep the flow of guests around the park.

I appreciate the noble task of jumping into modding this aging game. Can I see some of your previous modding, especially in scripting?

I was thinking that you had experience in modding other games. I'd like to see what you have done, pictures and links, if possible.

Think he means that if it wasn't secret then that would be what he would show you

Yeah.. I wanted to try a nice thing.. Its coming out okay.. I dont want to release anything yet.. Just incase something happens and my comuter explodes or somthing xD
Also..
Ill go over what each mod would be. Then reconsider* your votes
Albuquerque Mod-
The Albuquerque Mod would take place in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The City of Albuquerque has 21 fire stations and 9 districts.. I would only do 1 or 2 of them.. Each district would have 2 or 3 stations {some have more.. But I'm not doing that much}
Albuquerque is known for their hot air balloon fiesta, every October, At Balloon Fiesta Park. I might not do the fiesta.. But I will add a new callout. Balloon crash, where a balloon would hit power lines.
In this mod. I plan on making the map consist of Balloon Fiesta Park. And districts 4 and a Fire Department not in Albuquerque but on the border, called Bernalillo County Fire Department. It would have Lovelace Medical Center. {One of the best Hospitals there} and sheriff departments along with state and local.
Solberg- Huntington Airport-
Solberg Airport is a SMALL airport in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey.
The map would consist of a small airport fire and rescue station, as well as a regular station 2 minutes away for MVA's etc... The map would have the airport as well as the surrounding area.
This airport is known for the largest Summer balloon festival.
I WILL NOT have the festival apart of this mod.. UNLESS voted for.
I will also have the balloon crash callout for this mod as well as Albuquerque.
Jones Beach-
This beach is a small beach on the coast of Long Island, New York.
Even though this is a small beach... It has over a million people visit it a year, and is always busy..
Lifeguards are the main department there. The coast guard is there as well, and the local fire department is always there assisting the lifeguards.
New callouts! Like shark attack, burns (3rd degree), Small plane crash just off the coast, boat incident (fire, crash)
Universal, Orlando Florida-
Universal is a busy theme park, all year round.
This mod would be like no other mod!
Instead of being in charge of a city, you will have to be in charge of workers to keep people moving off the streets, and EMT's/ Security standing/ Stationed around the park.
This mod would be a different but very fun mod, if it gets the right modders {NOT Doing this by myself!}
If you have any other places for me to take into consideration. Put a comment down below!
and suggestions for the mods above, put that down below to!
Jack!

When it comes to this game and modding it in the past alotta people have made very wild claims of what their ambitions were for it but didnt have the skill level to support the ambition. Because of that people tend to be pretty cynical when people show up with ambitious ideas, don't take it personally when it happens. It just kind of is a fact of the community from people who've came and went before, so people tend to approach new things with apprehension rather than getting on-board out the gate (in honesty not without just reasoning). A little bit of good-faith showing you've got the ability to back up the ambitions would help to win people over when it comes to thinking you can do your new ideas.
Best of luck to you with your mod.

Yes, I know. I'm working on a nice police car.
I'm not sure though if I'm doing New Jersey or Albuquerque yet.. Its only been 3 days.
I might skin both tonight of a SUV or Crown Vic.. Then do lighting tomorrow.. But then I will create my own content.. Not just skinning and lighting..
