Gramanet - LAST UPDATE #3

[Maszi 0]

I'm back with my new CJ. Some of you might have seen my previous one for Esterri d' Aneu. That one was cancelled after i Terraformed a new region. My new CJ is for the city of Gramanet. I'll say it again, this is my first CJ if I'm not counting with the previous one that was cancelled, so don't be too harch.

The terrain is pretty simple. A plain surface with a canyon running trough it. In the north-east corner there is a big forest that I'm planning on chopping down in the future.. lol

The first suburb of the city.

A midwealth suburb close to the canyon running through the city. All houses are pointed towards the canyon with a wall of trees behind the houses. A nice place to start a family maybe? Be careful though, your kids might fall down the cliff..

 

Similar to the suburb above, only a bit further from the local school and the city. A beautiful art Deco wall with redcedar trees along the street blocking out noise and traffic from the avenue going downtown.

The industrial area is up and going!

The suburbs. In the top left corner you can see the downtown suburbs, with multistories buildings commercial areas combined. In the top right corner as well as in the lower right corner you can see two of the villa-suburbs, shown above, ideal for families with kids.

The center of the city with all the commercial buildings (and some residential). An avenue being the main road and beautiful trees on each side of the avenue gives a nice touch to a (at the moment) pretty ugly center. You can also see the new hosiptal in the bottom left corner.

The city is really new and that's why most of the shops and apartments are on the down side. Some of the spaces might seem naked, but trees will be planted and parks will be added, be sure. This is just a heads up of what's coming!

That's it for today. Keep an eye out for this thread!

PS. If you can't see the pics, go back to the main forum, and get back to the thread and it should work!

looks nice so far!! i would just consider using a tree park, instead of plopping trees, it looks a little overwhelming and jumbled up with all those different types of trees. next time, use just one or 2 different trees, then, i bet you it would look ten times better!

That sounds reasonable, I'll keep that in mind in the future.

You have done a great job with the pictures there. That is one very nice little graphical town...i don't complain about the trees although don't use too many of them. Whatever you do, don't forget the trees! Anyway, great work and a very nice start; keep it up and good luck!

Thank you! About the trees, I do agree with you. But to my defense I must say I live in Sweden and we.. have.. A LOT of trees EVERYWHERE and that might have been an influence.

I grew up around a lot of trees too, so I know what you mean. You are off to a nice start.

UPDATE

The new and bigger hospital built in the outskirt of the city but with good acces to the highway and the main avenue for quick rescues!

The city center by night

Probably the most simple bridge you've seen but nevertheless it does the job - connecting the west side and the east side of Gramanet.

That's it for now. In the next update you'll see the development on the other side of the canyon!

suplado!

Yeah the shadows are from SMP SunsetSunrise Shadow Mod by simtropiaproductions and Mayspacys terrain/climate mod.

I don't see the pics in the second update, but maybe thats just me. Anyway for the first update: It looks really nice!! But I agree with everyone else on the trees. But whatever, it still looks great.

[Sim_Air 2]

Yeah, i can't see the pics in update 2 either

[Maszi 0]

Hmm.. try doing what I wrote in my first post.

" If you can't see the pics, go back to the main forum, and get back to the thread and it should work! "

Update 2:

The east side suburb, mostly containing low-wealth apartmentbuildings. 

Remember the first suburbs? After a couple of years, and a few trees chopped down it now looks like this:

Keep an eye out for more updates!

[Sim_Air 2]

jacqulina

Thank you

[Sim_Air 2]

i can't see pics of update 2..maybe i shall refresh lol; anyway, should i give you a small tip?

Try not to reply to every comment, it looks kind of annoying and well, and like a person who desperately tries to get attention. Comments will come; you just bring us your updates and let us do the reply part. I am giving you this advice as a critic; either you accept it or not, i don't have any personals with you. Take care, waiting for a next update!

[androidboi 57]

i can't see the last pictures, but from the others, your city looks nice so far. Keep it up!

[octaves 4]

Thumbs up.

Thanks for the great comments everyone! And Sim_Air, I'll remember that in the future! 

This was just a try at making a CJ and that's why it'll come to a pretty abrubt ending by a pic showing the whole city from far away. I'm sorry you didn't get to see more pics of the east side, but for my next CJ I'll have a lot more photos, more updates and a bigger city. Until then, enjoy this pic!

[jacqulina 162]

awwwwwwww well its a great pic and im looking forward to seeing your new cj my friend
