most of these cities are very flat and boring! add some mountains and trees - will upload a pic of my city soon.

EDIT: dadyrghluv I mean the landscapes are plain - not the buildings/skyline.

I'm just saying a number of them (there are some very good ones though) are rather flat cities - adding mountains and other natural features (like water and trees - gotta have water, land and tree mods though) make cities more realistic and interesting.

Anyway, heres some shots of my skylines:

Here's a night time shot of "The Cobb Emerald Park Bulding" in "West Cape":

And here's a night time shot of the enitre "West Cape" skyline:

And here's a pic of the prestigious "Mayor's Point" in "West Cape" featuring "The Cobb Shorline" and "The Cobb Grand Plaza:"

Here's a few random skyscraper districts from my cities. As you can tell, i'm not much of one for a tower-laden downtown.

Havillah's main strip:

Havillah's central core:

Some good pictures here. One general hint I would give is to switch off u-drive it icons and hide the panel when taking shots. 1.gif

there are distressed parisian buildings there, yeah they easily get distressed...4.gif

i forgot to tell you that more than half of these parisian buildings are plopped landmarks 4.gif

im thinking of making a CJ for this one where ill explain the concept of this city 4.gif

and another thing, for the high rise towers, (if you notice there arent many duplicate buildings) for every duplicate building that rises, i demolish it, and plop a different CO$$ or CO$$$ (depending on the type of office tower that grew) on site 4.gif clever cheat? 9.gif
