Lifetec: Just a bit more custom content would make it pop. 7.5/10

USA Patriot: A nice array of mid-rises. 8.5/10

sepsis: Nice scenic area with some nice photo editing. 8.5/10

USA Patriot: I like how you used the snow mod. But the pic is a bit too big for the forums. I'll rate based only on the image, though. 7/10

Smokeandfire: I like how everything is laid out. 8.5/10

football_fever: A nice overview of an historical-looking city. 9.2/10

here's my pic:

Dsrwhat316:9.5: How did you get that for a road roundabout?

[smstevenms 7]

wwetom1, nice looking skyline but not much here. 7.10

Super- Timo, the image is dark & plain but not bad. 6.8/10

When you want your image to show you need to click image link at top of

message box (insert/edit image), then paste your link in the URL

(in image properties) (and click link, paste it there to - not if you

need to do this as well). Hope this helps.

Lifetec, as I said before looks great, I the red outline.

USA Patriot, Very clean & crisp, good realism 8.1/10

sepsis, great work here, very original 8.3/10

USA Patriot, I like the overall pic, but the snow/grass messed it up for me 8/10

Smokeandfire, Bravo, well done. Good balance, easy on the eyes 8.7/10

football_fever, Well thought out town, and it has good structured look to it. 9.2/10

Dsrwhat316, Not over done, great use of the canals 8.8/10

The image below is just a little something, no time to get something current. That city is still under construction.

Yes, that is what I mean.

[KingTitan 6]

They all are great....non bad, non perfect...but all definitely food for thought...great ideas friends.

[Mr_Maison 2,426]

Dsrwhat316.....What canals are those. Very nice.

I'll have a pic soon.

[hijodecordoba 74]

sorry for not rating every picture...

Dsrwhat316: nice ponds 8.5/10

smstevenms: the different tree-colors looking good, unfortunately a little less building variety 7/10

metasmurf: i love the transition to the tunnel 9.3/10

now here you go with a small try:

[USA Patriot 49]

Thank you so very much for commenting.

Here is one of my latest pictures from Evergreen City in the northwest corner of Western State. It's the Christmas lighting they got downtown. Part of the United States of Westernland. (U.S.W.)

[Mulefisk 15]

Nice one, metasmurf! 10/10

[football_fever 6]

Lifetec:  9.0 - I like the red glow.  It looks like a nice sunset.

USA Patriot:  9.5 - Looks like a nice structured and layered downtown area typical of an American city.  I also like the soft photoshopping that doesn't ruin the picture.

sepsis:  8.9 - That's really sweet.  Nice historical building with a foggy/misty feel.  The water mod is nice too.

USA Patriot:  8.5 - The picture is too large, but it doesn't affect the rating.  I love the snow (I'm from minneapolis) and the water mod, but the rest is a little plain.  Great start though.

Smokeandfire:  8.1 - Very interesting idea with the ampitheater on a small island, but I highly suggest downloading jeronij's new urban canals from SC4D.  PEG's ponds were the best before them, but now they look a little aged.  They have the same flexibility as PEG ponds too.  You can see them in the picture by Dsrwhat316 in the post after mine.

football_fever:  14.7 - Best.  Picture.  Ever....

Dsrwhat316:  9.0 - Love the canals and the diagonals and the roundabout, but that Ritz Carleton BAT always throws me off with its nonexistant textures.

smstevenms:  8.0 - I like the sunken highway, and the structure and balance to the mid-rises, but make sure you get rid of the toolbar before taking pics.

metasmurf:  9.5 - Awesome row houses, and an absolutely spectacular tunnel.  The crosswalks give it a very realistic touch.

hijodecordoba:  9.2 - I always love the pictures where it's impossible to tell which way the grid goes.  If it weren't for a few of those buildings, it would be impossible.  Great balance of grid and diagonals.

USA Patriot:  8.9 - Nice photoshopped xmas lights, but the rest isn't too exciting.  I do like the street level of that building at the top of the picture.

*phew*

And now, my pride and joy...Crystal City.  This is the first night photo anyone has seen of it.  Be grateful.

[wwetom1 831]

USA Patriot: 9: Can you give me a link to the building to the building at the top? The base is beautiful!

[smstevenms 7]

metasmurf, I really like the sunken ave into the tunnel, but there's not much varity 8.1/10

hijodecordoba, Thanks for the vote, city is still growing and in developement. Everything looks nice here except those walls. I tried to use them in the same manner, but the way they meet the road doesn't look good. 7.9/10

USA Patriot, is this photoshop? Anyway for the effort 10/10

football_fever, My images is from a undeveloped city, a work in process, thanks. This looks pretty cool, no pun intended. 9.6/10

[USA Patriot 49]

Thank you everyoen so much for the comments! I'm glad you like it.

The building at the top of the pictures that some people are requesting is a building already in the game. It's the Calahane Building. It's not a download. None of the buildings in that picture are a download, all already in the game.

[smstevenms 7]

Oh I guess we need to be more observant, lol. I thought you did some photoshopping.

[khoianh94 13]

Not very much, just a tram interchange: (click for higher resolution)

[smstevenms 7]

khoianh94, cool design 7.6/10

[wwetom1 831]

Khoianh94:8 That is the LONGEST tram I've ever seen...ever!

[khoianh94 13]

The_sanderson: Nice picture, but the harbour is a bit uninspirated. 9/10

[smstevenms 7]

The_sanderson, A bit dark, a far shot. I want to like it. The marina water texture doesn't match 7.5/10

[wwetom1 831]

Sanderson:9.5: The lit-up hotels look out of place, but great port!

Residents of Charleston have a beautiful veiw of a lake. (Shot of my new CJ)

[SimsRealtor 20]

9/10 good job...nice bridge

Ho Ho Ho...Its this time of year again

[Dsrwhat316 12]

wwetom1: nice use of peg's ponds and seasonal trees. 8.7/10

simsrealator: cool photoshopping along with a nice pic. 9/10

from me:

Jeylin City's most expensive project was the redevelopment of a huge plot of land along the famous boardwalk. Here's the result.

[The_sanderson 6]

Mpol-Nice industrial park behind a river.But the water is so strange(8.5/10)

[+Guest]

I've been looking for water textures fora while and haven't seen any that look appealing. Could someone PM me a link to some cool looking textures?

[football_fever 6]

pegasus made a ton of them. search water or water mod on the STEX and see what comes up. The best ones are Crystal Lagoon, Windjammer, and Brigatine

[khoianh94 13]

I have a new version of the tram interchange now:
