Show us your Downtown!

[Scaley McSlither 1,714]

Good downtown but that beach looks so dangerous a fall to the ocean. I like the last one there is some green in there so people like me can breathe better.

Any feedback on mine? I'm trying to decide if I should turn it into a full scale project

I like where you're going with the casinos and I've done something similar in my current region. The only thing I would suggest (and purely from a personal preference standpoint) is to use better looking palms, like the mmp pack from Kergelen utilizing C.P.'s models ->  Perhaps also throw in some modular parking structures like those seen in Vegas. The casinos there have literally thousands of employees requiring parking spots, not to mention the thousands of hotel guests...

 

The canals are a great idea, but the walls make it look a little... well, sterile. Paeng's urban canals (relotted from Peg's) may be a good alternative? http://www.simpeg.com/forum/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=719

 

Please don't take these suggestions as criticism, because I really like all your updates. Definitely go full-scale on your project - great potential!

Rebuilding Illium City from the ground up.  

 

Opinions?

[Priyon 16]

Great! Now how about you go fill those empty spaces with some buildings?

like weeds they grow NOT to the sun but to an office with a view. Durham Flats growing

[Cool_Z 1,547]

Lovely !!!! but it looks like some people need water 

[Priyon 16]

Great screenshots, 47ply. A very nice blend of scycrapers, mid-rise commercial buildings and offices, highways, commuter rail and a natural forested coastline.

Not a downtown but here is uptown York...

 

and midtown York.

 

Downtown York will be built on a city tile south of here.

Very nice.

 

I noticed some Japanese-themed buildings there. Are you also building a Japan-themed city, or just use the buildings?

New region, new capital.

That's beautiful! O_O

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

A new CBD. I don't know whether or not I'll make it bigger. I kinda like it the way it is. What do you think?

 

[piercing_arrow 76]

This is more of a downtown for a region-wide city, and as you can see the city suffers from chronic dilapidation.

 

I"m working on it.

 

(edit: wrong picture )

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

I've done some progress with The-respectable-sized-city-that-still-hasn't-got-an-actual-name. Feel free to come up with something, as long as it sounds good. 

 

 

[JP Schriefer 5,590]

Looking nice so far, Borg.

[simlink 1,098]

Awesome so far... nice work!

[47ply 1,100]

timmie where did you find those tables with the umbrellas I have looked and looked but cant find them. and your downtown looks good so far

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Looking nice so far, Borg.

Gee, thanks!

Jojje, can't you get the Arts Centre to light up? You need to let it run a bit longer than normal, but it should light up eventually. It's looking great, hope that doesn't spoil it for you

Thank you, and of course it doesn't! I was just thinking it was that glitch that has some buildings not lighting up. It's a beautiful BAT, and with such impressive work, I didn't really bother to care it didn't light up.

Borg, is that an elevated avenue connected by a T interchange to to an RHW? I'm really confused yet dazzled, I'm sorry, not really familiar with such stuff but it really looks awesome.

It's project symphony, also known as the Maxis highway override. It's an improved version of the maxis highways that adds FANs and improved intersections, and is more compatible with both avenues and RHW.

Is that part of the nam or a different mod?

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

MOAR PROGRESS!!!!!! D:<

 

Ok, that mighta been a bit scary, but the thing is, it's just what I've done. Progress is bliss. Development is power. Take a look.

 

 

 

Oh, yeah. Fireworks. Yaay! \-.-/

When installing NAM, you get a choice of four different installation options. Choose "custom installation", and mark the box "maxis highway override".

I love the city so far, Borg. If I try to build like that, I'd fail at it xP

Thanks, guys! It means a lot.

[zimmie 521]

yes, looks great Borg. The night shot looks great - you should light up that highway running through it too.
