Show us your - Largest City Ever

[sakarr 1]

my biggest region, Yokio

mix between Tokyo and HK

i think of the whole region as one city and each "city" as a different district of the city

the largest "city" is Chiba District, also the downtown area

dang my largest city was 500000 something, but then all of my cities got mysteriously deleted. Now i can barley manage 20,000 lol

[Fee_Nicks 7]

I have found a monster.

Old Volcano City:

Residential population: 272044 (!)

Commercial Population: 80443

Industrial Population: 16991

City Funds: 2491811

Image attached below, unless I did something wrong.

Now to go and build in a region that kinda resists such high populations.

And I too haven't built something as large in a while either.

[koolkalang 2]

Holy jesus these things are huge. and my biggest is 182,000. :/

damn.

[Brady Baker 1]

My largest city, funny enough, wasn't built in any SimCity game. It was actually built in City Life. It had well over 1.5 million residents. I tried to create something similar in SC4 but only came up to 400k. Rest in peace Olympus Mons.

Edit: Welcome to Page 6!

[jim 546 43]

that may be because City Life waaay overrates populations.

here's my new largest city. all hail Oraska City

downtown at nite

peace district residence. a large residential district.

suburbs and the famous 7-star islander hotel.

suburbs and hotel at nite.

the strangest building in the city.

the city was just to crowded for an inland airport.

and how big did you think it was?

[sakarr 1]

im gonna guess...

around a 1.3mil, plus or minus a hundred k

[zwr100 2]

300,000 on a medium city tile on hard, no cheats, no custom content - except NAM.  I'm not happy with the 8x8s since they don't develop quite right until high density though

Demand is strong (Hight Tech is strong, dirty and manufacturing are huge negatives), but you see I'm having a hard time with traffic  

Here's a peek at my lame region and the numbers for commerce and industry (HT only) as well:

Back to the main city... Here are my zones:

Heres a traffic view:

Here's bus traffic:

Here's sub traffic:

Here's air pollution:

I still have several natural gas power plants in the NW and SW corners, so once I can afford a hydrogen plant air pollution might go down a little?

I'm going to guess, oh let's say... 2,561,057, give or take 1 sim.

I 'think' he was asking how big the city tile. I noticed the population was shown on the picture.

I'm surprised that I didn't get killed by the moderators for that smartass answer!

[Simcity player 13]

i was actually talking about wow big the population size is when saw my first pic.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

oh ok. So when you were talking about how big it was, it was a rhetorical question, right?

Anyway, more pictures please!

My biggest city, was only 210,000 people. It is in my CJ! (the current pop is 190k).

Here's my biggest city. It has 1,060,000 residents and 379,000 commercial jobs and is surrounded by industrial city tiles, that have a total of 172,000 jobs in. The main city and the two industrial cities to the north are on medium city tiles and there is a small industrial city tile to the south of the main city. I have a bunch of mods, including the NAM, but I didn't use any demand mods or the CAM to make this. It took me about two hours, so I know it is a huge eyesore, I was just trying to see how many people I could cram into 4 square miles.

[Brady Baker 1]

Welcome to the forums Jhsi94. Looks like you did good cramming a bunch of people in a small area. I have no pics of a large city. I am constantly starting over because the map isn't exactly how I want it or I goof up the city and obliterate it. Still working on my issues of "perfection." LOL

That's pretty much what I do.

[simoly 1]

My largest city pretty much sucks now, My police coverage is all screwed up now and I can't get any development because my in game clock won't continue, still has around 300k

[crazychickensc12 84]

Im Curious Simcity player as to what that extremely large and strange building is, I swear I remember a building similar to that in SC2k I think...Cannot remember the name of them for the live of me but they house an extremely large amount of sims.. Thank in advance and wonderfully huge city!

Whats the Hendecuple post?

[miller45103 6]

My largest city is Dayton. And no its not named after Dayton Ohio. I have 1,000,000 residents, 375,000 Commercial, and 30,000 Industrial jobs. Sorry but I dont have any pictures of it at the moment. As far as mods and DLC, I have almost 2 gigs of stuff!

[miller45103 6]

Here is my city Dayton, as following the previous response.  It is on a medium size grid.

Nice City! Lots of custom buildings, but I'd recommend getting a custom stadium.

[miller45103 6]

parks help for in residential areas and plazas help in commercial areas to raise land value and cut pollution

[io_bg 249]

Not my larges ever, but the largest in my current region

More in my MD!

[rushman5 33]

Very cultural-looking city you have there, excellent effect on the image, doesnt distract or detract from the city!

[Z77 3]

HMMM.....well my largest city ever was almost 900,000......Nowelle...but it got deleted currently though, is my city of bilanstaar which has 500,000...but im planning on trying to make a new region for a city journal soon...hopefully

And all these cities look amazing it doesnt really matter how much modding you use anyway, b/c normally the game isnt 100% realistic to begin with

[art128 4,618]

My bigger one was my old region, Maroanestra, that goes over 150.000 habitants, it's the first time since I play the game that a region of mine goes upper 10.000 habs ! xD

Well, now I'm just around the 12.000 habs... :/

Great one, Io_bg, I like the blurred effect on the picture, it make it looking even more realistic !
