Very nice CBD! My only criticism is that there is a lot of repetition with the Maxis buildings. Other than that it looks great. ;)

All this is is landmarks?! But you get kudos for using Carew Tower. I spent many many days in that building when I was a kid.

Extremely nice Bastet! Are those roads from the LBT texture packs? I should do something like this in the future.

Thanks Evillions! These textures were made by Heblem and are part of the Fresnillo and Mock Town files, it's a very big archive, I don't think it is available anymore since it was on Megaupload, just ask Heblem. Otherwise I can try to send it to you ;)

Here's an air pic of Lenin'sk, proudly made up without any cheating. However, some stuff was plopped of course, like the Fernsehturm (always loved the communist-taste of the DDR) and some few others. The whole peninsula became a business district and the core of the whole metropolis, Lenin'sk in fact now accounts for over 700'000 people. A strip of "talls" goes from the west coast of the peninsula (on the right) to eastwards, this part of the city which is the most commercial-like is called "Samotsvety".

@Skylerracer23: Neat looking downtown! However I think you should get a water mod (PEG makes some good ones) and tree the hills, unless you're going to develop them. The downtown itself looks neat, and really promising.

Honestly i am not sure about the mountain near by the downtown. It just looks wrong. Unless it's Hong Kong where the whole city is a downtown and hi-rise apartments, it just looks unrealistic to me. Usually downtowns are in the middle of the city or on the shoreline, surrounded by medium/lower density. It hardly could make any sense a downtown created near a mountain :|

I am using a water mod ROFLyoshi, it's a Nighttime water mod (that's why the water in Aki City is Blood red). anyway, I don't mind if the daytime water is the default maxis texture. I just like playing it and letting my cities grow(with help from a police, demand, and some other mods)

Downtown Cleveland, or sort of anyway. I worked long and hard on this, so I hope it looks good.

Everyone's downtown look so awesome! Some ultra realistic! Every attempt I make just ends up being a huge cluster of (in my opinion) nastiness! However; I'm proud to share this work in progress...

With the question, what nightlight mod/thingy am I missing?
