Thanks for the comments

South of Midgar (the above city) is Junon. Because Midgar has so few rich from a high R$$$ tax rate, this smaller city is nearly half R$$$. I need to download some RCI growables to add diversity As well as more of evverything from this site Each of the five levels has five subway stations, each with independant lines to the other levels without any line cross-overs. I had some difficulty in making it- both in figuring hwo to draw the subways so they don't interccross, and having to space the stations so that they are not adjacent, so that trains don't jump tracks. I need to duplicate the system on the other side of the city's central structure. This is the look I'm trying to get in Midgar but it is more difficult with that city because of the circle walls and all the diagonal angles.

Here's a plan view of the city. I'll bet those workers in the buildings on the raised peninsula thing don't like planes buzzing past their windows all day, but at least they have a nice view

This is a view of the trans network called "The Circuit." Surrounding the stations are ped malls and bus stations. There's 10 independant sub lines

This view shows the sub traffic and some of the routes.

aminom, that first city pic blew my mind away! That cliff is awesome... If that city were real, I wouldn't mind taking a vacation there.

Great idea, I saw some estonishing Skylines here...

this is one of mine, 'Sanctopolis', a big city, but not a very big skyline:

And this is a very very skyscraped skyline, the skyline of 'Liberty City':

I really like the way you've done the roads & highways here, CityHawk.

I don't have anything to contribute just yet--just picked up SC4 and it's been years since I played SC.  I do like the prospect of all the mods--looks like some cool stuff here.

Now to balance this with time at my job, taking care of the house, and playing FFXI (though I may quit that completely if Treasures of Aht Urghan doesn't add some compelling endgame content).

The thread is for skyscraper districts, not skyscrapers, so that's what I posted. Someday there will be skyscrapers there.

Point taken!

(And I actually enjoyed to study your street lay out..)

eggie99, I like your use of water and parks within your skyscraper districts. Lovley.

[NightlinerSGS 1]

First: Great pictures everybody!

Well, I'd love to post a picture but unfortunaly I don't have any skyscrapers. I never had any. And believe me, I got the game since it was out.

I think I'm doing something wrong..... *scraches head*

Well Not as nice as everyone elses, Heres two shots of Skyskraper districts in an up and coming city of mine. Population around 160,000

[kawan 6]

Bad news... my skyscraping city is unaccessible because of thisstupid habit of crashing when entering. Im really annoyed... im desperate to show my pic. There is a seperate thread on the forum about it to see whats wrong.

[wouanagaine 83]

Impresive works !!

Here are some of mine

Pop in this large city tile, 600,000, region is 1,000,000

[Compromise 1]

wouanagaine, very nice post card graphics and river.

[az_uclan 0]

How the hell do you get commercial buildings like that??? I have never ever done anythin like that before.

[topcliff 1]

az_uclan: it is called PLOPPING. it works great though...

[A199999999 0]

 Here is some pics of my best cith called Northville Shores. The City is mosly all a skyscraper district and it has a pop. of 108,000 and somthing 

one of my favorite things about the city is that there is absolutly no suburbs so the whole city is condensed together.

here is closer picture of Downtown Northville Shores.

wouanagaine I gotta say, just love your postcards of your city.

My favourite city thus far of my own would have to be my city of Locke Harbour South (apart of my super city of Locke Harbour City State).  The downtown core is relatively simple, yet rather sweet to look at in my opinion:

Maximum image size is 800 x 600 - MM

Included in this post is also a lower resolution shot of my region Locke Harbour City State:

A higher resolution shot of my region: 

A higher resolution shot of my region with the transportational map shown instead of the satellite view:

Also I figured I would include the downtown core of my largest city (built on a medium map).  I would call it more of a neighbourhood to be honest however at 668,000+ on a medium map maybe city is the right word for it.  Either way it is massive with only 3 additions to that were not simple residential or commercial zoning (the 3 large gold buildings):

just wanted to add, ive never plopped any of my skyscrapers, except those unavailable as growables,and then its only a few. i have about 4 neighbour cities full of residential though which creates demand.

[Gridlock 9]

Wow they are all awesome some cool work... Eagle scream ,your region is brilliant

so big aswell ,i love it ..

Nothing quite as glamorous as some of the other stuff but here s one of mine .

[wouanagaine 83]

az_uclan Just clarify, i'm not using PLOPPING apart form 2 or 3 landmarks, everything was grown.

[flame1396 9]

wow! I'll post mine someday, its tall but smaller, with small suburbs but they're growing! centerpiece tower is the Burj Dubai, and most of it is NDEX or skyscraper's BATs

[Giligone 10]

Wow, some of these downtowns are just massive!!  For my CBD I was going for a smaller but much more pronounced district (especially in the regional view).
