Haven't posted before, but I came across this and thought I'd show what I *hope* is my more realistic downtown (it's what I was trying to go for).  The city has a modest downtown with the surrounding area all light-density zoning.  It's an all-in-one city (all RCI is in this city; hardly anything in the adjacent areas) with a population of roughly 150,000.

 

City status: complete.  No more work will be done on it, I've moved on to another area.

 

BTW, great job on all those downtowns!  Big, small, skyscraper jungles, no skyscrapers at all, I like 'em all.  Variety is good - it'd be a shame if everyone did the same thing.

Sorry for the WAY zoomed-out view, but it's the only one I've got without going back into the game and taking another one (I'm really just too lazy to do it). 1.gif

I love this layout but if I even attempt to sprawl and stray away from my current jungle style I get No Jobs > Dilapidation. So much so that I've given up my attempts at making realistic looking cities!

Hello!  I've been a lurker for a while now, so I figure it's time to introduce myself.

Here is my first major effort, San Fierro, its the SW part of the penninsula of the San Francisco region.  Most of the buildings are Maxis, but a few customs snuck in...

This one is more recent and is my largest downtown, Ft. Carson.  Across the bay in the San Francisco region.

My biggest downtown so far is Naperville:

Naperville is actually the Big City Tutorial in Timbuktu, which I renamed Cascadia. I use Cascadia for trying out new plug-ins and mods. A lot of repetitive Maxis buildings, but what do you expect for a city in a region you use for test purposes?

There are a lot of Maxis buildings, but I think it looks good anyway:

I don't mean to be a pest, but mayor_brando, I noticed in your picture of the marina a certain set of seawalls used that I've seen in a few CJs that I've never been able to find on the STEX or the LEX. Would you mind letting me know where I could find them?

Fantastic thread, by the way!

Nice work everyone! 

This is my first "big-city" with a population of 226.000.

West-Centura is located in the 51st stade: Saudi-Israelia 9.gif. East-Centura is still under development as a suburb/city.

Currently having a lot of traffic problems in some areas, but a public transport system is underway. Only some bus-stops for now.

Kskrs- Looks like a really well developed area! I Especially like the freeway system! I would recommend downloading some custom content though!

VazFox- Looks very nice! I like the geography with the point and I like your choice of buildings! I would recommend Developing more midrises around the area!

Shlarin- Nice work, definatly very densely developed! I would recommend getting custom content to remove some of that repetition! I would also suggest adding freeways and more parks to the area!
