Here are some shots of the city I am working on now. I am aiming for realism, so I hope that is coming through. It is modeled after Chicago for the most part.

Wow, these ALL (every single one of them from the beginning) look amazing, and I'm not sugar-coating one bit. Awesome job guys.

Hopefully my Radical RCI Mod will make a city that could at least hold a candle to these. :D

LA Noire inspired me to develop a mid-20th century city

Beautiful.


"Whether it be the sweeping eagle in his flight, or the open apple-blossom, the toiling work-horse, the blithe swan, the branching oak, the winding stream at its base, the drifting clouds, over all the coursing sun, form ever follows function, and this is the law."

—Louis H. Sullivan, "The tall office building artistically considered." Lippincott's Magazine, March 1896.

Just a little something I've been working on for a while now. It's a completely lotted city based after mostly London with a hint of Chicago and New York.

io_bg: Wonderful work! I like the slight photoshopping, too. Not ot forget, it shows that a great CBD can do without flashy skyscrapers.

zulu: Some great pictures! It's a pity that the trees often clip into the buildings. Besides, you should really convert to JPEG - it took ages to load all those huge PNGs. The city is really my taste, though. Is it grown or plopped?

evillions: I dig that Middle Eastern city! Not the kind of scenario I'm interested in personally, but you pulled it off really great!

Here's a very old picture from an equally old region - nowadays, I would do many things differently, but back then I thought it was quite OK.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that all RCI is 100% grown, nothing plopped.

That looks great.

by the way,

I've seen those Caribbean buildings a lot, but I can never find out where to download them.

Where did you get them?

"If you try to please everybody, you often times end up pleasing nobody, especially yourself. When somebody offers to do a favor for free, like making a mod for SimCity 4, you shouldn't be overly critical of something generously given to you. In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." - Twilight Sparkle after playing SimCity

"Being a mayor or a content creator for SimCity 4 is a heavy responsibility, Patrick. Each city and each custom content is like a child, and must be treated as such." - SpongeBob Squarepants after playing SimCity
