Malvern-May102621390007409_zps54a98b82.j

I've been using symphony quite a bit in the inner city areas but this is a clip of the longest elevated stretch I've made so far. I built this expressway to bypass this not so nice area of town and to connect the far south part of my city to downtown. Sims are now able to drive without fear of being car jacked and thrown onto the side of the road!

You have a very lovely style of building Timmie. It reminds me of Lost Realists work and to an extension, MandelSoft.

 

Ah, thank you for such a nice compliment :D

Thank you for mentioning me like that, that's a little unexpected and a very nice compliment for me as well :D

 

Because I think it fits this thread, here's some interchange construction working its way through a forest:

Wow, the embakment one is really nice they must of paid well to just cut through the hill like that. And I like the expressways both are good. Realist, true to your name, that does look like a real construction scene.

 

How about this? This is the old Highway 1 Bridge (Pacific Coast Highway) before it was torn down :(

This, is the new bridge that replaced it.

Some say it was a waste of money as it don't look much different.

Dear sir/madam/whoever will read this!

This profile is now defunct.

Computer problems and issues with accessing my Imageshack account meant My SC4 CJ Scrapbook was lost and utterly irretrievable. This setback put me off SC4 for many months.

Apologies for the inconvenience and for the lost pictures.

But that SC4 itch did not go away and it had to be scratched! I have started afresh with a new account here- The British Sausage

The URS is a spiritual successor to the SC4 CJ Scrapbook.

With this update this will be the last time I visit my original Simtropolis account- admin/mods feel free to remove it or do whatever you need to do. I have no further use for the Ln X (BLANKBLANK) account.

 

With regards, Miles Saunders-Priem aka. Ln X aka. The British Sausage

Ha ha! I "+1"ed for your cheek! But I do like to mix and match old with new.

(And thanks to Noah for the fantastic basic infrastructure layout!)

How do you drag these over water?

This is a bridge approach that I just made. I got the idea from a similar idea in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas where a bridge from San Fierro does the same sorta thing onto a highway in Tierra Robada or whatever its called. Albeit that one is a trumpet :P

Durfsurn: I like Your creation. Looks very neat and smooth :) might steal someday  :thumb:

 

My first try using BRT included in newest NAM. It works pretty good. I've sticked it into a tight one tile spot available to build anything over that 12 lane highway... Go Eco ;)

What do You think? (still WIP city)
