@mainmake: crazy...but looks nice.

@citiesxlfan42 looks nice. a little bit too muck maxis-style...another terrain and water-mod and ist looks better...

[citiesxlfan42 27]

MR.X. 1, I wanted to know if you could recommend any nice terrain mods here? That would be helpful. Thanks.

2 shots of the northwest corner of the Central Skyscraper Forest in California City. The city is so massive that it technically has 5 downtowns; the Southern, Northern, Western, Eastern, and Central Skyscraper Forests.
One shot at day.

One shot at evening.

 This is on the only large tile in my region (city). The rest are medium and small, unfortunatly, which means it's going to take longer to finish the city. The population of this tile is 169,000, not the best, since most tiles I made this large usually have 200,000 people, sometimes 800,000, once even 2,000,000! Please give me feedback.

@spursrule14: WOW those are the best pictures I have ever seen on ST... I think

@io_bg: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ see above XD

Right, I saw this thread and I went hmmm.

So here are some pictures I have which I think I'll throw in here:

The first is a .gif so it should move!!

Cool GIF. The city location is kinda awkward though !

Please give me feedback, people.

[MR.X.1 1]

@kevinaj, your runways are to short..., and your downtown: for an american downtown ok...

[Cobra_nVidia 30]

My feedback is that it looks a okay to me!

Hard to tell though neigher of the pics are that clear, but what I see looks nice

[kevinaj 0]

@MR.X.1, it's a regional airport.

[LILCHRIS5X 5]

That is a brilliant downtown. Excellent.

[kevinaj 0]

@Cobra_nVidia, yea I used GIMP softglow to give the evening pic a cool glow to the lights.

[pipelad 6]

@kevinaj, i agree with cobra_nVidia, but only in the second pic, that "dusk" effect is kinad blury, but that is only a feedback in photoediting. The runway if fine! everything else looks just fine!

This is my downtown of my own version of San Antonio

What exactly does the CAM do? 

[joshriddle 29]

Ill get to work on mine! Here is what I'm going off of...

[io_bg 249]

Hope you like it

@MetropolisX: The Colossus Addon Mod (CAM) is available on the SC4 Devotion website, and it allows you to get stage 15 buildings (so freaking big that they go off the top of your screen at zoom 1). You have to download the buildings themselves separately, it's just a mod that makes higher building stages compatible.

Here is my best downtownheonix, which is the second largest city in the United Cities:

Please comment and say if you would like to see the rest of the region in a CJ. Thanks.

What building is this (the blue one in the center)? Where can I find that? It reminds me of that building in Dallas.

[kccl35 83]

@Texan - Here. Its NDEX's 7Fifty7 South by Dusktrooper.

Nathan - why not put some seawalls along the shore? It would look much better that way.

My newest city located on an island

[Simcitymaster13 27]

Whoa!!! Where did get that bridge?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

I think the path is modded to allow avenue under it.

BTW: This thread has reached 1000 posts!

 Here is a screenshot of the East side of my latest city.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

In the top left corner, the road deviated 1 tile north at an intersection. Than several tiles later it comes south at another intersection. This, realistically would be congestion nightmare, so destroying the house and redoing the road would be better. You could also put a station at the junction.

[io_bg 249]

Simcitymaster13 - the bridge is in the Rush Hour expansion pack

ROFLyoshi - no paths were modded, only overhanging lots are used

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Great pics everyone! I love that Island city you just posted io_bg.

How'd you do that?

[Jayster 7]

Here is a picture of one of my small city skylines.

Hope you like. I think I'll be starting an MD at Sc4devotion as I prefer the way it's set up over there. No offense to Simtropolis. Please tell me what you think!
