supermassive city

[outriderdriver 4]

to get rid of left over houses and other bulidings just dezone the area or zone under it and when it develoups it will dissapear. but raising a hill over it works 100%

[Sirris 1]

yeah, but this was no ordinary house

TWO PAGES!!!

workin till about 11:30, and don't forget to check the random facts

and i plan to overtake California in population, though that might be slightly far-fetched, if not calif. then New York

[Cleaner475 150]

you reall should do a CJ out of this - think about it at least - I'd comment and watch it

[Sirris 1]

bah, this is more of a giant experiment, seeing what works and what doesn't.

anyway, pops at 4.3 and let me say this before i make a thread about it:

PARKS FTW

if you dezone one block that isn't necessarily very important (i.e. no skyscrapers or high wealth buildings) and fill it with parks, all buildings around it, if the conditions are right, will almost always go to higher capacity residential buildings (condos) the only problem is that after i used parks, residential hit rock bottom demand with 2 years.

i don't know if they're related, but it is nearly impossible to get it back up, so build all of your residential, let it grow into low-medium wealth apartments and then dezone a block and plop some parks and watch the buildings grow

[JakeMD 107]

I love it!!!!

What are the specs on your computer?

[Sirris 1]

I Have no idea

let's just say it takes forever to navigate a fully developed large city.

but other than that, it takes about 2-3 seconds for buildings to render when scrolling around

Would be cool to see a transportation map.

[Sirris 1]

trust me, no it wouldn't.

you would see 2 highways, and a spiderweb of roads.

it's not that interesting, especially because transportation is my biggest problem right now

[Cleaner475 150]

Sirris - and that does encourage a lot more people if there is less traffic but then it does decrease commercial demand so

[Sirris 1]

well, new update and the highly requested transportation map:

[scififan68 23]

The region looks very good! Btw: The Alburj looks great in that city.

[Godzillaman 21]

DUDE! over 4 and a half million! keep going!

[Sirris 1]

scififan68: thanks

i was hoping that it was would look good, i like how it turned out, however, i don't know if i should try the nephlon arista maxima (or whatever you call that starwars super skyscraper) i might see how it looks, however i can honestly see it turning out not that great.

godzillaman: it's summer, so that's what i'm planning on doing

[Artman94 2]

my one city that is on the largest square possible (blue in config) has 1,000,000 sims (no joke)

okay, i just finished 1 and a half square, but now i need to take a poll:

does the nephlon arista maxima stay or go?

(tallest futuristic building in screenie: )

[His Divine Hand 244]

Hmm, right now that supertower sticks out like a sore thumb, if it was going to be kept it would need to be around other super towers and large skyscrappers so that it looked more natural. I would suggest looking at the CJ of that buildings creator, Battlefront Zanapolis if you have not already to get an idea how to best use it and where to find other towers that will help it blend in.

[Sirris 1]

thanks, i'll check that out

anyway, my population just hit 5.1 million, twice the size of brooklyn and the size of brooklyn and queens together.

and i might request this to be moved to CJs, i haven't decided yet, but if you're following this and loose it in game experiments then it'll be in CJ's

[Godzillaman 21]

WOW 5 MILLION! amazing that you got so far! it would have taken me ages! i was actually gonna do this but after a bit, i got farms

[scififan68 23]

5 million people!! Very amazing so far! That would take me a few weeks to get my population that high.

[jammy 0]

omg the best population I ever got was ...... 300,000 in a region around 800,000 but they where all spread out random cities rather than metro cities!!

and yh I have had simcity for around 2 years now!!!

Good luck and keep going...!!!

[Explodingsims 3]

Holy Crap, this is huge, and cool.

yet something this huge in simcity is unsettleing.

[Goldfish4209 9]

Impressive! So just a jumbled mess of skyscrapers, huh?

[Sirris 1]

well, they are zoned and i try to keep it organized

[manman99 2]

wow this is amazing!! keep at it! I just want to know, how long does each of these cities take you to do??

20-30 for small

60-100 for medium

8 hours for the large one (20 minutes was due to load times)

[Sirris 1]

just a quick update, pop is at 5.5 million.

working on it a bit tonight maybeh

[Cleaner475 150]

Cool - more pics as well I'd love to see how the region is doing!

[Sirris 1]

this is all i have right now:

[JakeMD 107]

hey, serris man, think about getting the abandonment dilipadation mod, its pretty usefull

greaty pics. keep up the good work!! hope to see more, dont give up

[Sirris 1]

oh, no way!

i tried the anti dilapidation mod, but i didn't like it because it stopped skyscrapers from growing well
