All these pics are great, but theres one thing i dun get. Iv'e used the lot editing device and have seen eevry building there is in 4. half of those impossibly tall structures are not featured in the lot editor. Why is this? If you want to answer, could you send me a private message since i am really busy and all. gotta goa nd dig up a new border.

Part of the CBD of what I consider to be my best city at the moment:

Well, I don't know if you could consider this a downtown view, persay, but it is the commercial centre of Pinehurst, currently being featured in my CJ. Only 5,900 people live here, so the commercial district fits in with the rest of the area: small.

Pimhordijk, that's a STUNNING downtown shot!! The colours of the buildings' night lights is amazingly well balanced and complementary.

[Hordijk 18]

thanks Ephorex I appreciate your comment.

Here is a new little simple project of mine...I like the city b/c it trails off from high buildings to low buildings. To follow is sunset shot of a city I called Tha Root. I called it such b/c it was originally only farms and thus well...the root of my region. The region in which this city is located is at 3 million now! As u can see, I've got some development goin on. There are a few plops in there, but most are growable (damn Djoella industries!)

[toxicpiano 125]

You are all very talented at making downtown areas, especiallly dusktrooper and his photoshop distortion crazyness. I hope when my new project is complete, it will host the greatest downtown ever seen.

[toxicpiano 125]

sorry, double post...

[DuskTrooper 316]

Another tasteful artsy interpretation of the skyline...

Nice photo editing m8!

[13thRaptor 0]

This cant compare to all your skyscrapers and well-thought-out road/railway systems, but i was proud when they built the top-left building *sniffle* ill learn, and get better.



why do are sc4 pics always so big, sheesh

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Oh, don't worry... we all started out small, y'know.

And I got two suggestions for you, one aesthetical and the other practical:

1) That avenue at the top right looks odd - I would replace those zig-zags with a diagonal section...

2) Commerce likes traffic, and those avenues would be the perfect places for commercial zoning - at least if they are frequented by many cars, of course. You didn't build anything rigt next to the avenues, however. Instead, you placed your commercial zones away from it.

Ok, in order to avoid spamming, here's the downtown of a little 300,000 residents town, the last one I played before I started modding...

[Dutchdragon 74]

In my newest city there are two little downtowns:





Between those downtowns, there is a mid-density res area, with a lot of nature and recreation.

I tried that, but somehow i just couldnt get it to go that way so i just gace up, i will try again.

I didnt know passing traffic increased desiriability{sp?}, i will take your advice and rebuild a bit and see what happens. I made the avenues that way because i forsaw i needed to replace them with highways later..


Sorry for spamming guys, please continue showing off

[Compromise 1]

Nice, keep it up.
