Redmond

[bobinator 0]

Located in western Canada, Redmond (fictional) began growth as a small logging town. However, it is ready for large grown.

Downtown

Mainstreet

Suburbs east of town.

Redmond's small railyard

A strip mall just out of town.

Redmond High School

And finally, a zoomed out view.

I decided to post this now to show what I'm working on. I'll be pretty busy for the next month or so though so updates will be fairly infrequent until then.

Very nice start! I like the little downtown! Great work with the little rail yard and the high school.

bbfan02, mtbrocket- Thanks, it took me awhile to get the downtown layout how I liked it.

aceofspades, Greekman, RJN, Godzillaman, jacqulina, gabry85, waway625- Thanks for your support!

mayorbk- There is a starter piece and a drag piece for the RHW. Just tab to the exit you want, plop, then use the drag piece to make the offramp. Here's a link to a more in depth tutorial.

Edmonton stinks- Thanks. Weird stuff started happening to my computer+SC4 so had to delete lots of things.

Flying Scarecrow, simtastico, smarty218- Thanks, I looked long and hard (lol) for a region that looked right, lots of mountains, rivers and water.

TRNSTN- yep.

-UPDATE-

Redmond has quickly expanded to the south.

-Sun Peaks apartments

The local park

Suburbs south of downtown. I tried to give these more of the inner city grid look. As i move out suburbs will become more winedy (sp? lol)

Newer suburbs

A new freeway exit to accommodate the added traffic

And finally, a zoomed out look of the new developments.

[jacqulina 162]

beautifull residential my friend,very nicely planned,im still learning how to do residential.awesome work and pics.

[RJN 1]

I like your way of mixing costum content with maxis content, Just Great!

[Smarty218 2]

Wow.

Massive 'burbs there!

[jjune4991 1]

crazy suburbs. straight from grids to windy (i guess thats how you spell it). crazy.

[The Big Z 103]

Looks great. I really like the apartments! They look awesome. Keep up the fantastic work!

[nihonkaranws 88]

I like, I like! Very good job, bobinator! Keep it up!

[Lordy Lord 0]

Great job! Nicely done suburbs! Where did you get all the jobs to ensure work for all those homes? Hope it doesn't go black!

[TheJakal 0]

Looks really nice espically the new apartments. Im not a great fan of the blocky suburds though.

Cheers

[gabry85 2]

Wow, like in Dartford, the uniformity looks still very realistic! The apartment area is well-designed, I like it, nice place!

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Those are some nice looking monotonous suburbs.

[waway625 72]

nice suburbs one question though, those walls that separate the residential area from the highway...in real life, do these walls really block the noise?

jacqulina- Thanks, I've been playing around with different styles for a while now. I'm starting to like these ones better.  I still have a long way to go on farms.

RJN, smarty218, jjune4991, nihonkaranws, gabry85, edmonton stinks- Thanks for the comments!

The big z- Thanks, those things took forever to grow lol.

Lordy Lord- Thanks for the comment. I have lots of heavy jobs along that main avenue south of the freeway. I also use lots of bus stops and train stations. If I really start to loose lots I'll place a blank lot with some extra jobs. (Simcity really doesn't like big suburban developments sometimes lol).

TheJakal- Yeah, they're kind of boring but I was going for a more inner city look. They will start to wind farther outside the city.

wayway625- Well, I don't live in a neighborhood like that but i seriously doubt it lol. It seems like they've built them everywhere though doesn't it?

Hopefully I will be able to get an update out this week. I'm still really busy though, so we'll see.

[Simtastico 0]

yeah, those burbs are awesome! seems like this city will grow
