Much better, good to see your trying for more accuracy. LA has almost perfect interchanges for Simcity. Boston is awful for simcity 15.gif

Nice to see this revived.  I think you should download these buildings by kodebo. They will make the already great skyline look better!

nice to hear that you're reworking it.

I'll following every step for I simply love LA.

As for the bats missing, you'll have a hard time finding them, but some are easy to bat (watts towers, hankock park & la brea tar pits, griffith observatory, etc), maybe you'll manage to get some of the better batters to help you out.

anyway, can't wait for more...

Despite the fact that the BATs are a little older and some non-used buildings of Downtown LA's do appear on the STEX, this CJ looks pretty good.  But for some reason I don't think that population displayed on the bottom left of the screen does you justice because the displayed area is actually 10x the population given.

    That last 2 updates have been very L.A realistic 4.gif especially the flora although i can't help but think that there aren't many Los Angeles buildings on the STEX.

    Wow, nice Freeways. Having been to LA many times, I have seen the dire importance of freeways, and you have made them quite realistic. Nice job. 9.gif

    As You can see there still a lot of work to be done!  Los Angeles Has one of the most complex road systems in the world!  But I will be sure to stay as accurate as possible to capture its beauty and complexity!

    I can recognize neighborhoods you're doing, which is weird, since the game doesn't do street angles very well. Also, those old freeway photos are great.

    I can see you spent, a lot of time on this project and the results are seen! Very nice my friend i have a respect for those who use this game to re-make real life cities to the best of their ablities because I relize how hard it can be and time consuming (but when you play this game time flys lol). You've done a great job making it match as best as you can and getting those freeway interchanges I know some are just flat out impossible but you still tired once again good job.

    I like your efforts...I know it is impossible right now to create the exact format...but it is a wild ride...I actually drove on that...and took every single level in one day...to see what it was like...I was a tourist in my native California! Oh...and also...are you going to incorporate Industrial City and Commercial City into your CJ? How about Westwood? i like westwood!

    Great update! Must be spectacular seeing your buildings grow as soon as you will unpause the game.

    Awesome RL pictures! You know, the second picture, I was in LA last month and took a very similar picture like that. What a coincidence. 4.gif Wow, your Los Angeles is shaping up to be a very, very nice one. It looks beautiful! It was good to see most of LA's trademark buildings placed. Keep up the excellent work, I can't wait for much more of it!

    Looking good. I've driven those freeways a lot and they look pretty realistic given the boundaries of SimCity.

    I also like the archive freeway photo's mixed with the Sim version.  Nice touch.
