Mike's Showcase!

I'm liking:

The way you created areas by lining the edges with topiarys,

The government area,

That stadium,

Woodhale sign (clever!)

All those houses sprawled around,

and the way the skyscrapers flow down to medium rises, then down to suburbs. It's a great effect.

I'm disliking:

Uh, nothing.

Suburbs In Style

Welcome back to The City of Everett!

Today we'll be focusing on the suburbs. These are the areas just outside downtown, and the subways reach into them.

These are highly photoshopped pictures. Please allow them to load.

Teasers

Here are some teasers of some areas around downtown.

Thanks to all the comments!

Running short of time, so replies next update. Thank you!

[Cleaner475 150]

nice suburbs and great border effects and I love the arc de triuphe in the centre

keep it up,

Richard

[Teeparex 6]

Gaw, that purple one done something to my retinas I think (only kidding) The suburbs are Amazing with a capital A, and the office complex is quite simply....spot on. But I think the photoshopping is questionable in some cases lol.

[Zelgadis 638]

Crackerboxes! Heh, that's what my mother always says when she sees suburban houses.

Anyway, what is an "intermodal" expressway?

Great job!

Thank you for all the replies! Maybe an update later tonight, if not, then possibly Friday/Saturday!

penguin007 - Thanks!

Godzillaman - Thanks, and I'm sure it can. There is parking underground too!

SpecialEddie - Thanks, glad you like it!

Teeparex - Thanks, glad you aren't disliking anything!

sEAhAwk fAn121 - Thanks.

sammerhammer747 - Thanks, glad you like it! Not sure who built that stadium but it sure is an old model on the STEX. And its not replicated after anything I dont think. 

Benedict - Thanks, glad you like that subway map!

Droftrah - LOL, thanks!

suplado! - Thanks, always gotta have a city park and arena.

cleaner475 - Thanks, glad you like the swimming arena. Simgoober's work is incredible. 

MadTV_Freak - Wow, thanks for that comment! Glad you're speechless after it. And sure you can use a few tips, although Sweetwater County isn't really in need of them!

belfastuniguy - Thanks, glad you notice/like the greeness. I like implementing lots of green into my urban areas.

cleaner475 - Thanks yet again!

Teeparex - Haha I'm a newbie to photoshop! But thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it. Glad you like the office park.

zelgadis - Haha, thanks. Intermodal Expressway is an expressway heavily used by trucks and it links the airport to the piers that will be in Bellhaven (the next city tile over). Check back for updates of the Intermodal Expressway. I named it "Intermodal" because it encompasses a large amount of traffic and transit routes to connect important industrial areas in Woodhale. Also because I like the name. And I deal with freight at my job and you can call intermodal lines. Okay I'll stop blabbering.

suplado! - Thanks!

Skram - Thanks! 

colin1234 - Thanks, even though I'm such a newb with photoshop. But I have to thank Boggy1 for teaching me a few lessons.

KingTitan - Thank you!

LilFlipper - Thanks, glad you like them, and Heritage Square!

Psycho_Teddy - Thanks, I try to use a nice variety of Maxis and CC. 

sammerhammer747 - Yeah that is on the STEX. I'll PM you the link to it, because I'm not sure if its on Simtropolis or SC4D. But thanks for your interest in it, and they do enhance the look of the suburbs.

penguin007 - Thanks, glad you like that pic! 

UPDATE SOON! ...

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THOSE NICE COMMENTS!  

[penguin007 27]

Cant wait for that update

Looks like some great sprawling nighborhoods! Your usual fine workmanship! :-D

[ky72x 13]

Man, I sure missed a lot! You have really been showing some amazing work lately. The editing in the last update is excellent! Intermodal Expressway is a pretty realistic thoroughfare. Like a real expressway, there's not too many things along it. The trees in the suburbs look good. Nice downtown shots as well, the edited one was my favorite. Keep it up! I'll try not to miss that much any more.

Very nice work! The suburbs remind me of where I live, lol. I especially like the addition of the Metro Mercy Hospital; it was one of the first STEX uploads and certainly one of the best. I don't see it enough in CJ's and it's always great to see it again.

[Dsrwhat316 12]

whoa, such sprawly-ness! the suburbs remind me of the ones we have here in jersey; all of the towns seem to blend into one HUGE sprawling suburb. and i like the downtown areas; very vibrant at night. great work!

Larks Stadium, Woodhale World Arena

Welcome back to Everett!

Today we are looking north of downtown at the Everett Larks Stadium, which is a baseball stadium for the EVERETT LARKS! YAY!

The stadium.

Memorial Park.

The grounds.

Parking lot crowded for a baseball game!

The other arena in the complex is WOODHALE WORLD ARENA, a huge arena where international soccer teams play, circuses are held, and big big concerts!

The arena holds 90,000!!

The whole area.

 

Looks like there is a special event in Everett, at the Haskell Memorial Arena.

penguin007 - Thanks!

Schulmanator - Thanks Schul!

ky72x - Thank you!! Glad you're noticing the realism in effect in Woodhale. Thank you and you aren't missing anything.

DragonAnime - Yeah, here too, same suburban style. Thanks for commenting!

Dsrwhat316 - Ahh, I live on Long Island! I've noticed the Jersey suburbs and they inspire me to make these suburbs as well. Thanks for commenting!

[sEAhAwk fAn121 0]

hehe! im coming to the show! me love Paramore and My Chem Romance Nice update mikey!

[ky72x 13]

I really like the triangular design of the parks. It's good to have something besides a square, for a change. Although I strongly dislike the look of the same 3-4 cars in the parking lots, the fact that you have parking at all is great. Nice job on the newspaper! That show is going to be awesome! Saosin and Linkin Park rock! Keep up the awesome work Mike!
