Show us your Downtown!

[gviper 922]

Definitely a gem. I just love the diversity and inclusion of water into the CBD.  Candy for the eyes!

[gviper 922]

I am curious; in picture 1 of your second montage (without makeup) what boardwalks/marinas are you using? They look good!

[TPB 563]

Pretty sure 

 

Nice work Gigi.  Bravissimo!

[andix 33]

A really realistic and beautiful looking city. Very good.

And i like the unaltered pictures much more, too.

[Wallibuk 1,959]

I present my Eastern European downtown, I hope it is not so bad.

[Johan_91 179]

I prefer that kind of downtown way more over a sea of skyscrapers, looks very pleasing to the eye
Keep up the good work!

That's pretty good, to me even one of the best entries in this thread so far.

[tonyr 926]

Wallibuk, that's beautiful work!

[Charlie_Zane 963]

Beautiful, very nice to see some traditional eastern European downtowns!

[OmniBLACK 48]

A lot left to be desired. 

 

 

[Mista_Fuzz 13]

@OmniBLACK, yes definately!    What's been done looks great though!

 

And here is the CBD, for a new city I've been working on, and I'm trying to make a it lot more realistic, and less Maxisy than my other cities.  How am I doing?

 

[11241036 5,105]

Another one by me. All buildings (except one ) are plopped, admittedly. My first attempt to mix up different old town building plugin sets. Hope you like it.

 

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Yes, I do. However, looking at this picture I think we could use a better texture for those cobblestone pedmalls. Is it possible to use a texture family, I wonder? I know it's possible for lots, but not sure about pedmalls.

 

EDIT

 

@ Mista_Fuzz: I'd say that's a considerable improvement! There are really nice details to be discovered. Some single-family homes still need to be overgrown by something bigger, and you have an insurance problem of the repetitive kind near the centre of the screenshot. Apart from that, no objections.

A portion of the downtown in the town of Weckum.

 

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Downtown in North Franceline, one of the biggest cities from my Eucadia region, a lot of trees!

 

[deedeedee 12]

@JP Schriefer: Great downtown!

[BLANKBLANK 4,414]

Great stuff JP Schriefer, great stuff. The use of 3-lane OWR in opposing directions is superbly executed.

[kingofsimcity 5,739]

JP Schriefer that is a gorgeous downtown! May I ask where are the 1x1 tree lots from? They look like PEG's random woods except far thicker and denser.

 

This is downtown Winchester, located just due west of New Arcadia.

 

 

Here's a shot of neighboring New Arcadia at night. The CBD grew pretty well and looked about complete. However...

 

 

The citizens were not satisfied! Thanks to CAM and the presence of hundreds of stage 11+ skyscrapers in my plugins folder, this is what ended up happening around 200 years later. Even a few stage 15 buildings showed up!

 

 

And a final day shot to top it off. Even the John Hancock Center decided to grow. Hope you enjoyed it!

 

[VermonsterMainEac 3]

 

 

That grew really well.  I have started a new desert city using CAM and hope I can get results like this.  Great job!

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

Thank you, guys

 

@kingofsimcity - These trees are seasonals from Girafe, you can find them and other in this link. Btw nice pictures, very dense downtown you did

[Nevermore2797 112]

Here's one of the CBDs I made.

 

There's my university I made --- to the left of the Bird's Nest.

 

 

Yeah, I'm more focused on making buildings than just well.......

 

 

At Night......

 

 

That's all!

 

PS: I need more buildings to download...... Some of my stuff becomes repetitive even with some CAM buildings I have.

[Sydney Claridge 106]

This is not the main business district in the Greater Soderstrom Region (a region I am developing), but I guess this qualifies.

 

Of course, the name "Tilnor" comes from the two roads intersecting at the bottom center, Tildon Avenue and Nordstrom Avenue.  North is to the left, along Tildon Avenue.

Love the colors and the Birds Nest placement! I'd love to see the development wrap around to the vacant portions so it doesn't look like the development transitions from dense to desolate rather quickly...

Yeah, I might..... but doing so will have risk because my game mostly crashes especially when reaching a 1000000 population. Also, I have CAM and dozens of plugins (2.17 GB more than haljackey).

I hear you there! I had the same problem with my city Vista Del Mar; game clock would slow and stop, and then buildings would abandon, so I had to pull the airport content out and proceed with making nearly 90% of the buildings in the city historical to get it back.  How many gigs of content do you have?

I don't have problems with the game clock since I have a good PC, but the problem is the game itself crashing for no reason just like what happens to haljackey sometimes, but rarely the game crashes as well while saving the game which is annoying... I have 6.25 GB content (2.25 GB more than haljackey's).

 

P.S. THEY SHOULD HAVE UPDATED THE GAME THAT PREVENTS GAME CRASHING BEFORE THEY'VE DONE SIMCITY 2013 AND BEING DISBANDED!!

Wow! that is a ton of content! lol.  I wonder if the crashing is still related to that fact that the game is coded to utilize one processor core, I've heard the argument that no matter how good your pc specs are is the game still only utilizes (with stability) one core.

[timmetje 75]

Wow, seeing al this content you guys posted lately makes me want to fininsh my downtown, but I first need to do some other stuff...
