[simwario 95]

Wow, this a very good downtown area. I agree with the others,
would like to see some night time pics of Verona.

[MayorTim 16]

Yup, thats what Night Life is for. Sorry but no updates today since im going to a friends house. I have been playing tho and now i can bump it up to a 98% recovery from the njz. Night life will start Friday night though as promised!

No, Im pretty done with everything in downtown exept adding new BATs. This is how big downtown will get, and in fact it is going to end up to big numericaally (sp?) For a downtown that large I should have at least a couple million sims. I only have 300,000 lol.

Night Life: Verona

 

 

This is the first Night Life update. Tonights update will be on Verona. Hope you guys enjoy!

 

 

Nothing really to say about this one. I just took it cause it looked cool.

 

 

Area near the base of the World Trade Center, The plazas are a part of Spire Park.

 

 

Centered on the heart of Spire Park, you can also see Menerva Tower (BAT building) and the BCH Tower Lit up for the night.

 

 

The North/Western most part of downtown. It has a high population of BAT buildings from many artists.

 

 

One of the newer buisness districts in Verona, It is located behind NEXIS Park and just before mid town.

 

 

A pic looking towards the coast, you can see most of Verona in this pic.

 

 

Centered on the St. Johns Catholic church, one of the oldest buildings in Verona.

 

 

Centered on the Verona Spire, you can see some of Downtown in this shot

 

 

The downtown core, including the WTC.

 

 

The high rise apartments located in downtown and The Gardens park.

 

 

I love this shot because it is very easy to see the transition between high, mid, and low density.

 

 

One of my favorite pics, you can see Spire Park next to the WTC.

 

 

Pic of 3 of the tallest towers in Verona.

 

 

I love the way ONG condos looks at night!

 

 

NEXIS Park and Tokyo Tower.

 

 

The famous pic looking at downtown from the sea.

 

 

And finally a close up of the above pic.

 

Hope you guys enjoyed the first Night Life update! PLease leave comments and suggestions about it.

Beautiful update!  You should do all of your updates at night.

 

Just wondering, are there any cars on the roads ever? The screenshots just look weird because the lack of traffic in the downtown. Other than that, they are great!

[MayorTim 16]

I had to turn off the traffic in order to make the game somewhat playable. If it was on there would be way to much lag. Thanx for the complitment!

[jcabassa 20]

Awesome! So friggin' awesome! The city looks perfect at night!

[MayorTim 16]

Thanx Jcab.

[Elodia7 2]

Those are some nice looking night shots!  It's a very impressive skyline at night.  Can't wait to see the rest of your cities.  I should note that your transition from High density to medium to low looks quite good.  Very convincing.  Keep it up!

[simwario 95]

Beautiful! Your city center looks awesome at night.
Man, that's really what i would call Nightlife in the City.

[AfroThunda 1]

Amazing night shots, I must say the most recent update was my favorite. Really great job, I really like how you have layed out your high medium and low density zones, it really makes your downtown POP. Great job and keep it up!

Wow great!  This is one of my favourtie journals and that was a really cool update Tim.  Don't stop, lets see more!  What you got in store for us next?  More night pics or something else?

[dig1tal 0]

By far, the best downtown. I've got nothing more to say, just AMAZING

[MayorTim 16]

Wow thanx for all the comments everyone! I will continue Night Life untill it has covered every single city.

[MayorTim 16]

Here is a quick region view since there hasn't been one since the industry boom.

 

[+Guest]

A fine looking region!  It's actually my favourite region view of all the regions I've seen.

 

I comment on this journal way too much!!!  But... its so good.

[jcabassa 20]

Only 363,735 in population? I'm surprised! It looks like there should be more!

Yeah, that is less population, than i expected. But quality is what counts
not quantity. Very, very good pictures MayorTim.

[MayorTim 16]

Thanx for the comments guys and Wood Man, you van never comment too much.

 

I will have another Night Life update tomorrow!

[ginchael 1]

Sweet but make sure you mix in some job centers or they will all go jobless!

[kabctv 3]

Nice city, MayorTim. I just wanted to ask, do you use any special mods or plopables on this city? It looks really good, and I was hoping to learn a little about what master city builders use in their cities (Not that I am new to this game, I've been playing since that first rainy day when I got Sim City 2000, and have bought Sim City 3000 and Sim City 4 since then). Keep the updates coming! I am looking foreward to reading all of them.

[MayorTim 16]

I use a lot of things for realisim issues.

 

Cheats: I use the power cheat because it is very un-realistic for every city to have a power plant, and the power deals don't work in my game.

 

I use the water cheat because I dont have enough time to build and lay out pipes, so the city would move twice as slow.

 

Thats it for the cheats.

 

Mods: Bigger flora brush

 

pine dat (makes every tree a pine)

 

edited rock color

 

simoleon modd (I start out with 500,000 instead of 100,000

 

snow capped mountain modd

 

farm jobs x10 modd

 

super demand modd

 

no radiation caused by rewards modd

 

trasnsit bugfixes

 

bridge hight modd

 

realistic transit modd (by DM)

 

that is every modd i use

 

Lots: I use a lot of lots, so I wont name them all, but I really dont have and radical lots. no money lots, nothing like that. just what I think looks good.

 

Thats it!

 

[Smurfer2 7]

I missed your night update. That is one of the best updates for a CJ in CJ history. Great work!

[das8929 0]

Wow your downtown is amazing!! I love those suburbs too!!

[MayorTim 16]

Thanx guys! And there wil probably be another Night Life update tonight.

[jcabassa 20]

Cool! I can't wait for the other night update!
