Tierra de la Oscuridad

Ive been working on my region for a while now... its a bit green and flat and boring but its a work in progress lol

err..it's mostly suburb-ish... I'm working up to med & high density for a downtown, maybe somewhere in the middle of the region.

so anyway... here is my first city and update...

It's not completely developed yet - I would work on it more but my computer's getting very laggy on anything except small city tiles, lol.

Wow.. that is spectacular!!! Looking forward to more!!!

[mayormommy 8]

Nice work Twiggy! I like the big, irregularly shaped park in the middle of the city.

Twiggy:

The thing I love the most about this CJ, is the feeling. I like how you have taken all the shots at eveing or night. I am impressed by how un-griddish this is. You really know the meaing of realism.

Just a quick request: Those BATs on the first picture, what are they? They look like a really cool additon to my cities.

Keep up the absolutley brilliant work Twiggs,

wen

The city is breath taking, I can't wait to go back to playing sim city. I forgot how much fun you can have by making a beautiful city. Keep up the amazing work. Oh by the way, I take spanish in high school right now and read the title. Why did you name it "Land of the Dark"

[GaBoR 7]

WOW nice CJ!!! Blonde!!! Very pleased to see all this brand new pics, nice feeling, love the hotel with the huge parking space, gotta love the realism, anyway good to see you in this adventure of the making of a CJ, see you around!!!

[pickled_pig 7]

I wouldn't call it suburbia. I think "Inner City" describes your medium-density European-flavored sprawl well.

As with Owen, I like the ungriddy nature of your city development and your very liberal use of parking lots. It is a personal hatred of mine to see cities where there's very few places to park - unless everyone's going to go by bus or subway or foot, you've got to have parking somewhere. And in that you have succeeded.

I will be on the lookout for the next update.

[panthersimcity4 162]

oooh, I'd love to live in that city!!

Crazychickensc12:  First comment, lol.   Yeah actually one of the main reasons I joined st was to do a cj.... I guess I just now got around to it lol.  Thanks for stopping by

Schulmanator:  Thank you- I plan to try to fill the whole region. it might take a while though, lol

jacqulina: Yes, I plan to do a bit of terraforming as I go along, not much though, as I'm not very good at it.  I love trees, they're amazing lol

edipo_rey: I'm glad you like the atmosphere, I would write more about my pics, but sometimes I just don't have much to say, lol. 

-M-:  Thanks   I do love lots of greenery in cities.

Simen: thankies i'm glad you stopped by

gurrgkud: Hey! Thanks for looking, Im glad to see you here

mayormommy: Thanks for coming by, I really appreciate it - I developed some of the middle of Aurora, but left a corner of park intact.  I plan to show it in Update 3....

owenluby: thanks, I like that time of the evening in sc4 where it's like kinda red, that's my favorite time to take pics.   I despise grids if you cant tell lol.  Here are the BATs, in order from left to right:

BLaM Little Strip Mall Pack One

Trend Fashions

Richland Building

FavreKev04: thank you! I take Spanish 2, i dunno, I was just flipping through my vocab book and saw it was like words for things in the earth, and tierra de la oscuridad just sounded kinda ominous lol and I liked it. 

GaBoR: Hey good to see you!! Whatever happened to your cj, lol?? It was so beautiful   well rl is a harsh mistress as your sig says so I guess that answers my question   Anyway, im glad you like it, that was Simgoober's hospital I think you were referring to, here it is on the Stex

pickled_pig: I wasn't sure what to call my random cities lol. thank you, I admire European cities and wanted mine to have a more European feel rather than what i'm used to. Yes one day I was playing sc4 and realized there were no big parking lots! it seems they missed sth very important lol, so I went to the stex and downloaded some.  Thank you, I hope to see you again

panthersimcity4: lol would you really, thanks

luker91: luke!!!! hey I havent seen you in a while!  thank you for commenting, it means alot considering how much I admired your own amazing cj

salut221: thanks for stopping by- Im glad you liked it !

hamsterTK: lol, I try, Im no master though

jrhnemo: thanks, i'll need it lol

Err... Update two tomorrow, I don't have time to upload the piccies atm, but I will tomorrow, I hope to see you then

[jacqulina 162]

hi twiggs i love trees as you know lol keep up the good work and im looking forward to that next update

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Thanks jac

Today i'll focus on the very first little city I made in this region... well actually i imported it from another region but whatever lol.  It is called Pompous, the proud city. 

Yeah, I used simgoober's hospital in this city too... (I happen to like it lol) Enjoy

To show you where it is:

Down a bit

night shot of same area

The small airport

closeup of behind the hospital

Its not an extremely exciting city I realize lol. The next update is Aurora, the finished product....

[Schulmanator 5,812]

It is not exciting but it is definitely a pleasant little town. Looks like a great place to settle down.

[pickled_pig 7]

This looks a but more suburban...

As for your quest to have realistic parking lots - have you tried the PEG Secnic Drive kit? I used to use the NDEX transit-enabled lots but I never had dood luck with them. PEG's lots, although not transit enabled, are FAR more realistic and FAR more flexible.

I agree - probably your city is a nice place to settle down. It must be a pain learning to navigate, though.

[jacqulina 162]

hi my friend great update there,pretty little town,nice use of the trees,wonderfull pics,coming on great so far

[Alfred.Jones 2]

Great work Twiggy! I really like you take the shots during dusk/dawn. It gives this CJ great character. Nice work, keep it up

[PavSek 1]

looks nice..Great suburbs, nice trees and beautiful pics! Keep it up...

[sc4portugal 10]

[salut221 10]

Wow ! OMG very nice ^^

Can't wait for more pics ! How did you do this ?!

[luker91 0]
