The Patrician Showcase

[Patricius Maximus 236]

A NEW GARBAGE DISPOSAL FACILITY

REPLIES:

un1: I can't think, either.

deathtopumpkins: Thanks for your comments.

haljackey:  1) I'm glad you're curious about my plans -- to be honest, I'm curious too .

2) Always allow a margin of error in plans -- a law of unreleased material planning.

kj3400: Thanks. I can't wait for 3.0, either.

rewright: Thank you.

A garbage disposal facility may seem menial and downbeat for Patian County, but Patians have garbage, too.

Meanwhile, the northern diamond interchange on the expressway has been beautified with retaining walls:

On the diagonal stretch of the highway (which may be modified when v3.0 comes out), wind turbines have been built to meet the city's power needs:

On the northern fringe of East Lutland, the expressway's northern stretch has been completed, along with a few overpasses:

And, as promised, the garbage disposal facility:

Nothing in Patian County is run-of-the-mill, and neither is this landfill. 2 recycling centers help reduce garbage, and the surrounding trees negate any NIMBY effects from the landfill -- the area is even more desirable now than it was before.

A definite first -- a landfill that people actually want to live next to.

Please post comments, suggestions, and questions.

Hm thats a first,someone wants to live near a garbage disposal area! Is this what the recession has forced people to pick out scraps from it!!XD

[un1 41]

Great idea Patricius! As always, amazing update and I will be waiting for more.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Heh... I don't know about that simulation engine... I still don't think I'd want to live next to it!

Nice to see some windmills too... clean energy!

A TEASER OF LAKEFRONT

REPLIES:

blue sinjid: No, it's not that bad yet.

un1: Thanks.

deathtopumpkins: Then you are no ordinary Sim.

First of all, an announcement. The Patrician Showcase is getting an update schedule.

A full update will occur every Saturday, with teasers probably coming throughout the week. Here is a table for the next four weeks, with example teasers:

Red is full updates, green is teasers, in this example. Note that this is not the actual teaser agenda.

For this update, there are two teaser pictures of a new city, Lakefront.

An RHW under construction?

Please post comments, suggestions, and questions.

[un1 41]

I will be waiting for the next update, looks like it will be on the 20th.

Nice tesers also.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Pine trees on a bright sandy beach!

That schedule should keep you busy for the future!

And I'm interested to see the rest of that RHW... that interchange's got me puzzled.

[anik 14]

Cool... this city journal looks very proffesional in quality, and I admire your RHW work!

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

nice highway there

[SounderBruce 173]

Ooh. The construction looks nice, but where do you get all that stuff?

[suplado! 23]

wow -- hope to see a nice intersection in that area

[Patricius Maximus 236]

LAKEFRONT REVEALED

REPLIES:

un1: Looks like your prediction was wrong.

deathtopumpkins: Thanks for all your comments.

anik: Professional? That's a description I've never had before.

newyokrunaway1: Thanks.

ComputerGuy: For the RHW, download the Rural Highway Mod. 2.0 is the current version, but 3.0 may be coming out soon.

suplado!: I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

I apologize for the delay in the update, but even I have relatives. I visited one yesterday, and it was only this afternoon when updating this thing hit me. So, I present, Lakefront.

First a regional orientation. The big area to the west is Franklin (built before the CJ of the same name), and the little lake with the city next to it is Lakefront:

You may recognize other landmarks from previous updates.

Here's the RHW interchange completed, along with development:

The RHW seen here is planned to extend furthur south and east to create an arterial route.

To the north is a Parclo interchange with the Franklin east-west highway:

Northbound along the intersecting route is a unique parclo-diamond hybrid, along with a directional ramp:

Westward is the center of Lakefront, near the beach of the crescent-shaped lake, which contains many trees:

Lastly, a look at unbeautified beach areas and some bridges, leading to a future expansion of development:

Please post comments, suggestions, and questions.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

an update! I like that town. The RHW interchange looks neat, and I really like the highway parclo. I think the treed beach looks a little weird though.

[suplado! 23]

wow -- those intersection looks cool and very unique!! the developed area looks nice as well!!

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

nice update! I especially like the transportation in your city!

[Patricius Maximus 236]

A CHRISTMAS TEASER

REPLIES:

deathtopumpkins: Think it's wierd? Still, thanks for stating your opinion.

suplado!: Thanks.

Petrovar Ambassador: I'm glad you like my transit system.

First of all, have a Merry Christmas, and have a good Hannukah. Both holidays are ongoing at the moment.

For a Christmas present, here's a teaser of an undisclosed location:

Please post comments and/or suggestions.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Ooh... nice pretty little roundabout, and I really like that building to the right of the image. Is it Maxisian?

[SounderBruce 173]

Ooh... nice.

[Patricius Maximus 236]

WAITING FOR RHW 3.0

REPLIES:

deathtopumpkins: Thanks. It is a Maxis building.

ComputerGuy: Thank you.

First, an announcement. The day of the week for the regular update is changed to Monday.

Tarkus has stated "RHW Day is imminent." Whatever this means, the next RHW may be released this week.

In anticipation of this big release, here is a montage of different highways in Patian County which probably will be the first to recieve upgrades.

A diagonal stretch:

A section of RHW which can be turned to elevated:

A large section which can be converted into one wide highway:

A tangled web of avenues, one way roads, and highways which, in 3.0, will recieve a complete makeover:

And lastly, a toll road which could get diagonal ramps:

That's all for now. We can only hope that 3.0 will be released by the time of the next update. If so, expect perhaps tens of updates detailing upgrades.

Please post comments, suggestions, and questions.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Ooh... those are some good places to implement 3.0.

Can't wait to see how you use it!

[astronelson 339]

I must remember to download that eventually... (Notes RHW 3.0 in mind)

Great job working with RHW 2.0! I just know you'll be even better with 3.

[SounderBruce 173]

Can't wait for 3.0!

[SirUnger 13]

Wow, awesome update! Some very nice interchanges and I love the trees you've used to make your city green!

[kj3400 178]

You sure you want to get rid of the highway corridor in the second to last pic? I rather like it. 

[Patricius Maximus 236]

SOUTH LAKEFRONT

REPLIES:

deathtopumpkins: I can't either.

astronelson: I'm sure as well.

ComputerGuy: I know, I know.

SirUnger: Thanks.

kj3400: Well, I rather like the design as well. What I want to get rid of are the convoluted OWR network, and replace it with a 'cleaner' RHW network. The basic structure of the interchange will remain the same.

This week there will be two updates detailing South Lakefront. This one will be the first, and will feature the interchanges being constructed.

First, an orientation. South Lakefront is the unoccupied area south of the small lake:

Near the center of Lakefront, a modified cloverstack interchange provides access between two major freeways:

Beautification will be added by the next update.

Northbound, an extensive network of C/D roads and underpasses prevent weaving, and the freeway winds westwad:

Then it makes a large curve and turns to the north, where it merges with the freeway shown in "Lakefront Revealed":

Please post comments, suggestions, and questions.

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull work love the curves great looking transport system my friend

happy 2009

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Wow! I love that interchange! And those curves look fantastic too!

Excellent freeway!

[rainyday 2]

Thos are some major curves
