Lol, you're telling me. That's one helluva a night shot

 

@47ply - doesn't matter to much by the looks of it. Seems close enough and I do love a sunset image

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

Time to celebrate!

[Huston 5,800]

Those Fireworks look fun! Seems like a fantastic start to the Alliance games

[jmsepe 2,039]

Here is a night shot of Central Rakuza or Shimza District. I need to redo the upper left portion  of the city though. Those buildings doesn't belong there.

 

 

Trivia: My first experiment with diagonal avenues and diagonal buildings as well. I hope you like it.

Awesome night shots guys!

Here's a 5000x3511 mosaic.

Got a lighting mod so I thought I would try a night scene which I haven't done in a long time. The  lighting mod improves the look but I find some areas are far too bright.

Here's some nights shot from around Cambrian.

Whoa, now that's impressive! It must have been a major pain in certain body regions to get the blinking light effect props where they are supposed to be...

Lol yeah, it takes much long than something like that should with lots of going back and forth between the lot editor and the game and still not exactly perfect.

I have nothing to add to this thread (yet!) but I must say, the fact that I started this thread when I was 13 and its still around is absolutely amazing, and all of these posts look so good. I'm glad to be back at Sim City again!

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

So yes, big cities are more spectacular than small towns. Especially in the night. But I think a small, northwestern lakeside ville has it's charm too. Even during the night.

I tend to agree with you there. It's a nice change of pace from light-flooded CBDs. Looks pretty realistic, too!

[simlink 1,098]

I'll agree, too. That small little town looks really nice at night. Those small towns are hard to make look nice at night. I've tried, to very mixed results.

I really like it B, only thing missing is a small boat with a lantern doing some eel fishing, but since that prop probably does not exist...

[JP Schriefer 5,591]

That's beautiful.

[gviper 922]

Entered this one in the High-Life challenge. From my first city Vista Del Mar. Though the game corrupted the city this was taken in I remember it fondly as being balanced enough in demand that Wisma and some of the other really high population buildings could co-exist within the city without tanking demand. Ahh, the good times. Color was emphasized here (obviously).

I'm really surprised I haven't posted here in recent years.

That being said, My SC4 doesn't work on Windows 10. I have to buy it again on Origin (which is fine, I just have to spare up some play-money first. Kids and bills are expensive.)

Anywho, here are some contributions from (much) earlier.

The first manned survey mission to Mars. The crew will dock with the Mars Transit Vessel "Avalon" in earth orbit. Then, they'll make the two year round-trip mission to the Red Planet. They have a lander with them, but are instructed not to use it unless conditions are literally perfect and supplies are in a surplus.



Opening of the 2014 Alliance Games in Illium City. Notice the fine details, like the filled stadium with the flag and the reflections on the water. I spent several days preparing the opening of the Alliance Games.



Christmas in New Dallas. Because of the location in the Southern Hemisphere, the Kingdom actually is in mid-summer during Christmas. The lower portions of the Kingdom, like Illium City and New Dallas, can (sometimes) have pretty severe winters, but for the most part they remain mild year-round.



A much older shot of the Kingdom, well before it joined the Alliance. One of my first real photoshop works. The Calistan Federation launched a massive surprise attack against the Kingdom of Illium. The devastation left thousands dead and wounded, and a city in ruins. The attack also struck the industrial complex on the western banks of the Illium River, including the SIU Hydrogen Power Station, leaving nearly a million people in the Illium City metro area without power for weeks. In this iteration of my CJ, it ended up being the downfall of an entire city. It made Detroit, MI look like a paradise. The population of the city went from 1.4 million to a measly 375,000 virtually overnight. Entire districts were abandoned and left to rot. Fortunately, When I rebooted the CJ, the attack was scaled back to just a terrorist attack on the city's infrastructure, and they rebuilt, more grand than ever.  



And this is the oldest night-shot I have, dating back to 2008-09 time frame. A Joint Naval-Air station, later named Port Virmire. The clear outline of the base can be seen, and I still love the way it is so distinct and different (especially the docks) from the surrounding town.

From the forthcoming city journal entry: Vista Del Mar 2.0. An additional night shot.

Llangranog. A city of about 715 000 people.
