Nieuw-Sequovère

Hello everyone!

After the failure of Sequovère, I took my 2nd attempt to a fantasy CJ. With the inspirations of the Maastricht CJ, I decided to start a new historical city: Crucxsabel.
Crucx comes from "kruis", which is dutch for "cross".
Sabel means something like "Sword"

As you can guess it's about a church-cross: there are five major cathedrals, in the form of a cross in the city.
This is going to be ( for now), the only city in the region.
It has the biggest historical centre I've ever made. To be excact: about 45 tiles wide and about 85 tiles long.

Some things I use:
-NAM
-Industry Quadriples
-Peg's ponds
-Trees
-Custom Churches
-Paris growable
-Paris Ploppable
-Dutch growable
-Dutch ploppable
-canals
-polish blocks
and more and more

A picture of my first progress in Crucxsabel, capital of Nieuw-Sequovère.

Hi Uumke, nice start! Nice use of the canals, I guess you are Dutch?? It just makes me wonder how to access the church and the other landmark... by paddleboat? Sorry, no srutenizing, just a question. But a nice layout, I am looking forward to more,

Hey everyone!

Thank you for your comments,,,that's going to be rewarded with an update. I made a lot of progression these days, but I'm going to show you only the city centre of Crucxsabel, the capital of "Nieuw-Sequovere", a city with many landmarks, canals and situated near the small sequo-river, near the sea.

Btw. before saying "there are palms, that isn't dutch" ; I forgot about the antipalmmod

But first.....REPLIES!!!!

Imprezza05: Well Imprezza, under the replies,,,you can see ow the city developped!

Tommiej: Hey Tommiej, how's it going? here again a-Dutch type city. I only need the anti-palm mod. I forget about it always.How's your CJ, rotterdam going?

Schulmanator: Thank you, Schulmanator! Take care. I love Schulmanidad!

Jaqculina: thank you Jaqculina. Take care. How's paradise falls 2 going?

Bat: thank you my friend!

homeandaway: Hey alex, how you're doing? I'm doing well. Take care my friend.

lucky7: hey lucky,yes I'm dutch (forgot about an antipalm-mod).

Well, they get there by foot,,,,via the cobble stones.

Take care.

Update 1: City centre

allright, let's start off.

I'll start with a city view, and then I'll zoom in.

Now,,,the real start!

Domsplein, the city hart, with many expensive houses.

Big shopping streets, as the Grote Straat, Munsterstraat, Grijffelterstraat come together on this square.

Here is the St. Janskwartier, the most expensive area; the house prices are enormous!

Here is Grijffelt, with the Central Library, Onze Lieve Vrouweplein and the Onze Lieve Vrouwe church.

Here you can see the Walhaven; the Havenerpark,the cathedral and the Havenerplein.

 

Here is Munsterwaag; a cathedral, the Munsterkerk (origanilly from Roermond or where?It looks like the one in Roermond), and the munsterpark; a place where a lot of witches got killed.

The Market, with the city hall, me,and a smaller church.

The north of the Havenerpark, with some nice buildings.

and last but not least, the old port, with an old tower.

That was update one,

take care,,

WOW amazing update, i love the open streets, and how in the central city, your use of no streets, the lighthouse in the middle of the pond...lake thingy is amazing as well, my favorite is your central cathedral and the parks on the east end of the city...AWESOME nonetheless though

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Awesome! Thins makes me happy just to look at. Wish I was there!

[Cleaner475 150]

I agree completely with Schulmanator - to be honest I didn't like it in the beggining but now i'm loving it keep it up - can't wait for more

Dear Uumke, I often come to Maastricht, are you trying to remake maastricht? Like it so far but I don't recognise the tower in the water

[tommiej 0]

i cancelled it... the terraforming was very, very time consuming and i tried one city and i found out that making a port only is a bit boring after a few hours, knowing that you have to build 16 cities more..

but i'm planning a new CJ..(see my sign) won't be dutch.. more british, french (lately there are many british cj's and i'm really inspired by those CJ's, i find the british look very nice)

a tip, demolish the baseball-field, how many baseball field do you see in our little country?? i only know one basebalclub Roof!

the pics look very good, i really like the canals, they are used very creatively, the historical tint is very visible and it does give a dutch/french effect.

like to see more!

Eliah747: this isn't based on maastricht....that's another Cj of mine. Click in my sig on Mestreech and you will see that! Take care

Tommiej: ooh, too bad, but yeah...a port is quite boring. Well, there are also a lot of soccer fields there so...that one or two fields...Take care

Tonight update.

[jacqulina 162]

hi my friend more of your awesome work to feast my eyes upon,amazing pics too.there will be more PF2 very soon thankyou.

Update 2: the Green City

Hey everyone!
Thank you all for your great comments!
I'm going to show you some of the city's green areas. This is actually my most "plopped" city...so also a lot of green.
Let's start right away.

Here's the city's cemetary, den Eeuwigen Jachtvelden


The gouvernemental area:


The good old city parks:




Here is heiligenboom: this was a residential area, but due to bad traffic problems, I've decided to go the green way. (because of the traffic i built a small metro and light rail line. Maybe I'm going to make some ground light rail!)


Heiligenboom-zuid; there were some big residental towers, I've demolished them.


and last but not least, the Van Uumpark. named after myself


Take care and be safe!

Some delightful open spaces... you always have great spaces in your towns!

Cool ponds and the railways under ponds...Great work!

Very interesting. Your use of the word "fantasy" in the title prompted me to come in here. And it does not disappoint.

Teaser and start of the story.

all right, as I am bored withthe normal pic-updates, I decided to start a story.

It start's with to sims: Victor and Steve (named after Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey, to great bass players).

In the next update I'm going to show you there house (ooh gosh my memory is so slow), and where they shop work and give gigs etc.

But here's a teaser, of a business area, south of the outer beltway.

I've decided to demolish the light rail and metro, as another commercial ugly area has been replaced by a medium-income residential area.

Walhavenerpoort, business location, south gate to Crucxsabel, directing to the Walhaven-area.

Take care and be safe!
