Efficient vs. Realistic vs. Eyecandy

[CasperVg 587]

Do you prefer efficient, realistic or eyecandy-cities?

[Spiritus Sanctus 0]

definitely realistic . CJs like the ones from Mr. Beer, are the most beautiful.

[GreekMan 246]

yeah I like realistic too Mr. Beer is good too

like one med square for a downtown and suburbs sprawling around it

[autoVino 26]

Realistic  .  But I go for somewhat efficient realistic, with plenty of mass transit etc.  With maybe a small city center, plenty of railroads, suburbs then farms out to the side.

[Imprezza05 1]

realistic is the best for me as it can be efficient and look very nice

[Mulefisk 15]

I prefer a combination of all of them

[patriots_1228 51]

i go for a combination. but realistic is usually the most important for me. Then efficiency, because without that, you'll have problems like abandoning. With those problems, eyecandy becomes tougher.

I like efficient cities the most because that a efficient city works better, though I do like realism...though not that much.

I love looking at the eye candy from the CJ's...  but for some reason, I am not good at developing them.  I am usually switching back and forth between realistic and efficient (or some combo of the two).  I do not use any cheats/assists...  so the eye-candy ones never work out for me.

[Godzillaman 21]

there should be a voting part saying all. i like efficient, realistic looking cities with eyecandy.

[masochist 111]

I prefer building realistic cities...not too good at building Eye-Candy, and an efficient city is usually boring when I make it...

On the other hand, I like looking at the other two.  A realistic city to me is Eye-candy...and if an efficient city is built well, then it's eye-candy, too (AK, for example).  So yeah.  But I voted for realistic.

Eye candy for me, my cities are neither effecient nor realistic (imo ) But when I look at other people's work I enjoy a combination of eyecandy and realism

[Deever 23]

A realistic town could easily qualify as eyecandy in most cases (my humble opinion, of course).

Although I have a CJ that revolves around eyecandy, I've always enjoyed making efficient cities. Of course, I try my very best to keep the other two elements (realism and eyecandy) around. Plain efficient cities are just boring, as masochist said.

use all 3 for my cities, they have to be efficient, realistic, but i also use a lot of eyecandy.
