Weihnachtsmann: Interesting. 6.8/10

SimsPlantet2: It may be bland but it's extremely realistic. Hardly and repetition and it's a pretty accurate depiction of an American downtown. 8/10

Deever: City-building's pretty good for an all-Maxis setting. GIMPing is over-done though. 7/10

topcliff: Too gray, and there's nothing really special about it. 7/10

capitol1: 5/10 Too many jagged edges and empty tiles. It's not that great.

Amerikaner	7/10 , I think it's abit too grey
dosomthin90210	9.8/10 It gives the old city feel . I like it.
Weihnachtsmann	8/10 Seems abit bland . But is ok. I give your second picture 7.5 / 10. Still abit bland bit tis ok.
SpecialEddie	9.9 / 10,This town resembles early , mid 20th century perfectly , Good Job
SimsPlanet2	8.0 / 10, This reminds me abit of some midwestern cities. It's ok but there is a bit of repetition.
Deever	8.5 / 10 , The thing that hurts this picture is the over saturation. Plus ontop of that it's just too...Blah...Even though I must commend you on making Maxis look good
topcliff	5.0 /10 , Too foggy. I can barely see certain things. The rain also seems unrealistic for me , Not unless it's drizzling.
capitol1	4.5 / 10 Um it's too empty. Honestly it need some filling up. As in trees would boost this rating by 3 points. Also the building style is slightly unorginized
SpecialEddie	10/10 I find this picture perfect because it reflects the early times of skyscrapers. Also the zelphlin is a good touch ,Sugoi!

topcliff: And those planes are grounded! Great effect. 8/10.

capitol1: It's lacking something; parks or more buildings maybe? I'm not sure. Good city building though. 7/10.

SpecialEddie: It's still amazing! Great city building, great transportation layout (except for that bit where the road passes under the train station ). 9/10.

Shingure: Hmmm, makes me want to live there. I like the small gray tenements. 9/10.

TheSixCents: How polluted is that area? Anyway, it's very believable. 9/10.

dosomthin90210: Now that's colorful! Nice set of farms you got there. 9/10.

Thanks for the input on my previous image guys. Here's another GIMP attempt. . . still Maxis. . .

dosomthin90210- 9.5/10 your amazing! BTW do you have msn i need to speak wit cha.

Deever- 7/10 cool but over saturated/contrasted

[Robbert 0]

Deever: 9,5

Dosomethin90210: 7,5

I think Deever's edited image is actually beautiful... it shows how the city would really look at night... something SC4 lacks somehow...

I mean come on its 9:30 pm right now where I live and I can't see the end of the street, only the streetlights and its reflection... how come in Simcity you can actually distinguish trees in a forest at 3 am?? To me it's a great picture

Dosomthin's picture is very unique, but especially the central green area, whatever is grown there, bothers me, because the farmer who owns it is pretty odd-minded...  he just harvested the crops randomly, sometimes areas of like 5x5 meters, while there are a lot of crops still standing... other that that it's pretty nice

[Haljackey 17,326]

Wow, The Six Cents, I wouldn't want Homer Simpson Running that power plant! Nice job! 9/10!

Well, I decided to post a picture for once.  Note the new textures for the RHW network in this image:

Also, don't forget to see the image uncompressed!  Click on the image for FULL RESOLUTION (1440x900)

SimsPlanet2- seems a bit too cramped and chaotic for a downtown 8/10

Deever- neat editing, but some of those roads are just, ick... 8/10

topcliff- nice, but it seems more like a blur/grainy image than rain 8/10

capitol1- for a start, its nice. but it seems very unfinished, and those pedmalls don't fit. 8.5/10

SpecialEddie- awesome weaving EL rail l ine, love it 9.5/10

Shingure- too repedetive, but otherwise cool 9/10

Haven't been on in a while guys, blame that on a slow connection, but I hope to get some new stuff up soon.

But such awesome work!

You mean on the second-last  page LOL!  Mines there too!  Lets keep rating the images!

[SpecialEddie 3]

So, uhh...how about dem pictures?

[Elaclairee 0]

Not even close to my better work, but we need a picture.

[ilikehotdogsalot 308]

^ Not bad, the layout looks very good 8.5/10

Here's a stupid little picture I photoshopped:

[SpecialEddie 3]

7/10. Coastline's too uniform and the transition from urban to forest is strangely abrupt.

[topcliff 1]

Eclairee: 10/10 Looks very urban fringe-ish. Like the darkening technique.

Ilikehotdogsalot: 5.5/10 The rain isn't very good, and the city screams something *****ish.

No picture this time. Sorry.

[Amerikaner 42]

Need some pics...here is one 

This is from a new city I am working on, though I am not sure if this city will ever be seen so HERE IT IS lol

(BTW it says kraxel, but its NOT)

Elaclairee- It has this little charm to it that i like 7-10

Ilikehotdogsalot- im not really sure what it is...too bright or something but ill give it a 5-10

[+Guest]

Elaclairee, great image. It does look very urban. I want to see more of your best stuff. 9/10

ilikehotdogsalot, love the colours but I have to agree with SpecialEddie on this one. 6/10

Amerikaner, nicework. Though the big building to the left looks more Asian, as you can only see the roof tops. Doesn't look as good when put up against the French housing. 7/10

[belfastuniguy 18]

Elacairee - A lovely image indeed, I like the darkness of it, has a certain appeal to me 7.5/10

ilikehotdogs - I like the image, colourful, the rain is good, but maybe a little less next time, but nice pic 6/10

Amerikaner - Good city shot, like the sunked buildings - 7.5/10

One from me......showing the Imperial Parliament and surrounding area in Atlantis

[shinkansen1 84]

87/10, of course!

One from Genesis, Nebraska:

It's an absolute mess, but I don't usually show my best ones so quickly because in my region, there is no such thing. This is Saffron, which had next to nothing planned ahead except for the transportation grid layout. At least now I know what I'm going to show next time...

[+Guest]

That colorful building takes away from the landscape of the other buildings. What I do like, and I think this is a short coming with a lot of commercial areas, is that you have a lot of smaller buildings in and amongst the larger ones. With most cities this is the case. I find some people can get carried with their tall office towers and place them all together so there is no variety or contrast within their cities.

The bottom half of the image looks cool. 7/10.

[Shadow_prophet 91]

Elaclairee- 8.5/10 Very good. Neat layout.

ilikehotdogsalot- 8.7/10. Rain definately brings out the city's lights

Amerikaner- 7/10 pretty good, but it seems to be out of place for some reason.

belfastuniguy- Wonderfull 8.4/10

shinkansen1- 9/10, I'm giving this a high mark cause i like how it seems all mundane and boring and suddenly there is one superbly colourfull building sticking out from the rest.

My contribution :

[Elaclairee 0]

ilikehotdogsalot- interesting, neat editing... does seem odly placed though 8/10

Amerikaner- nice, quite nice. seems odd for the building to be sunken though 8.5/10

belfastuniguy- not bad, seems a bit dead thogh 8.5/10

shinkansen1- seems cramped and somewhat *****-ish 7.5/10

Shadow_prophet- i don't think i want to mess with your goverment 8.5/10

EDIT: why the heck is n oob cencored? thats just screwed up

Its cencored out becauce some people find it offending.

[Elaclairee 0]

It would only be offending to someone who completely acts the part and deserves the title. All it really means is new and under skilled, not like its some racist term.

Bad spelling offends me.

n oob is derogatory, newb is okay. 

But that being said, it's still idiotic censoring the word. All this expurgating has gone too far--even to the point where we have to replace the "o" in c0ck, limiting how we use the words John Hanc0ck, Alfred Hitchc0ck, and our fellow user c0ckatoo's username. It's bringing more attention to the word itself.

I can understand this is a PG-13 website. Censor the F-bomb, censor s***, censor b****. That's great. But come on--n 00b?

[Elaclairee 0]

Funny, I actually see the two terms opposite of you.

And yes, please pardon my spelling, my fingers aren't the smartest little digits you've ever seen.
