SyDnEy ReGiOn

[fabsies55 5]

Update 23- Hello and Welcome to my region called the Sydney region.

this isn't really sydney i just couldn't think of a name for it lol.

This is my fourth cj and i'm not going to bore you with such a long intro.

this cj gets progressively better after each update and especially after each few cities.

if some updates don't convince you then the ones later on will.

these cities have no great names nor great intro's nor great explanation, what u see is what you get and if you have any questions or tips or hints etc. just ask.

these cities are mostly made up as i go along so it might not have any great connection to one another or it may get confusion but just hang in there.

I REALLY HOPE YOU"LL LIKE THIS CJ!!

and now to get to the city showing.

first im going to show you part of my region view later on ill show more of the region as it goes on.

this second one my city names

this third one without names or anything just the region and the one you should really focus on.

heres is my first picture and this is my kumi bay and the kumi beach.

its not much but it's pretty good.

there is the kumi fire department in the centre of the picture

and in this picture is the kumi place with the kumi beach apartments next to it

my next city is stanlee. a rather interesting city.

this picture shows just a residential area with the local library nearby.

and in this picture show the Stanlee fortress were 300 troops fought to protect stanlee against Kumi bay. and also is the local division 4 football stadium with surrounding fields.

just another residential area with the local tennis courts

and now is the Stanlee Major Shoppin Centre where sims come and shope from up to 200km away.

and an overview of my city with the National Highway with surround Forest in it.

and thats the end of my update and opening thread i hope you like it.

more to come in a few days

[Schulmanator 5,812]

A fine start. It looks like a great place to live.

[simcityplyr100 2]

Great start. However I do have a few suggestions. If you have not tried a terrain mod, try one (Link), you could also try a tree mod if you have not already tried one (Link), and last, put the game out of pause when taking photos.

[Mother of Invention 23]

Great cities,but you are missing some textures

[JJC12321 0]

looks like a great start hope to see more in the future

replies:

Schulmanator:   Thanks alot appreciate it.

simcityplyr100:   yea. i thought about it but i kinda like the normal maxis terrain and as well i'd have to install those terrain mods which i can't do the only thing i can do is unzip and download and stuff. but i will try a tree mod and see if theres any good ones.

Mother of Invention:   The only things i have without textures are the lit palm trees which i actually don't know how to get textures for. because when you download them there are now dependencies other than the palm family  which i have so i don't know how to get them back.

JJC12321:   Thanks and you will see more. i have a whole region of cities to show.

[TimeMaster 4]

Looks pretty cool!

[manubeas 0]

[fabsies55 5]

this is my next 2 cities Humbridge and Loopley.

heres the first city Humbridge.

this first photo shows the forest surrounding the highway and also i tried to add a bit of realism but putting some houses in the forests as in Australia there is some of that.

and this photo is just of a residential area in my city.

and another photo on the top corner of my city.

and then again is the top end of the highway.

and now its time for Loopley. a similar region but better

my farming area within Loopley

just a close up of a little plaza i have

and then showing my stadiums and a tiny little few blocks with a few buildings.

and now an overview of Loopley

and now its the end of this update and stay tuned to this cj as there will be tonnes more... i have a whole region to do!!!.

[Hawkeye9 0]

looks good, I was wondering if we could see a region shot!!!

Nice start and looking forward to more!!!!

[jacqulina 162]

[Tia-may 0]

Good looking pictures: one of the fresh faces in Simtropolis.

[Twenty20 28]

Great work on a little parcel, there's a long time that I've not built on a small one...

[Mother of Invention 23]

Still looking good fab!

[fabsies55 5]

replies:

TimeMaster: thanks, i think so too.

manubeas: yes it is

Hawkeye9: the region shot won't come for another 2 or 3 updates as i still have a few cities to do because when i took the region shot i had those cities in it.

jacqulina: thanks, by the way do you say anything else other than like looking good, nice intro, well done my friend??

Tia-may: thanks but what do you mean by one of the fresh faces in Simtropolis.

Twenty20: what do you mean by this?? Great work on a little parcel, there's a long time that I've not built on a small one...

Mother of Invention: thanks didn't know i ever was looking good lol.

now its time for my next update. UPDATE 2: Guldin bay

this city was saposed to be a mini city or a CBD but didnt really happen, but it still looks awesome.

these first pictures are just of my city completed and zoned.

heres a picture of my far south side of my city with the glowing roundabout centre peice

and a point of my city that i think is pretty kool.

my north side of the city with my mini city having arisen the university stadium lights on and the marina in use.

this is a part of my city that i never expected to have buildings in but things change and id say this is my cbd?

and a zoomed out view of my city at night and how i left it.

and finally what was saposed to be my CBD.

and thats the end of this update and stay tuned for my next update in a few more days.

[Tia-may 0]

What I mean by fresh faces is that it is a new city journal... and yes this one is very well made because you paid a lot of attention to the shores.

[roboo1 1]

Good CJ! You have some very nice waterfronts and harbours

[ElBarto92 7]

Your cities look good, and I really like the forest surrounding the highway with houses in it (a couple updates back, I think).

One thing I would recommend is trying to make the transition between the beach and the ocean a little smoother, because right now it looks kind of awkward how it goes from sand to sudden deep blue. What I usually do is plop some Underwater Ploppables from the STEX (like coral reef) along the edge of the beach, to make the flow easier. You can find these on the STEX for sure - I'm fairly sure that Cycledogg made them.

Other than that, good work, I'll be watching for more.

[anik 14]

Very nice, I am enjoying this. I loved your forset highway, too!

[JJC12321 0]

this looks very good, the forest is very realistic (from last update) and the city looks great. but as elbarto92 said, transition could be a bit smoother. but way to go

[Schulmanator 5,812]

Great beachfront properties... I am ready to jet over for the weekend.

[Mother of Invention 23]

That Parking lot by the marina must be a real doozy!

[flyinbird93 2]

This is a great start! i see lots of good things ill comment on first

i really like the highway tearing through the forest with houses mixed in, there is a lot of that here where i live. so it allows me a little bit to relate too. i also enjoy how even though you talk like there was little planning/mixing of your cities they all seem to be working well with each other and have a ballenced mix between densities! Your usage of roundabouts also look well layed out to reduce commute times and flow naturally within your towns.

Suggestive critisis

This is a personaly feeling, dont know if it would fall into aesthetics or not. Your cbd area looks good, but that beach seems very boxy and distracting from it. and with as close as your cbd is to the shore i would suggest maybe seawalling that area for a plaza front with resturants. that would make it seem more alive and keep a bussiness feel to the area. then move the beaches down with hotels n such for torestic purposes relevent to your cbd.

Another thing i would like to see (and maybe its already there and you just havent shown it) is the highway breaking out of the dense forest leaving a very large forest behind it untouched. or just develop areas of the forest that isnt so over run by human expansion. Maybe make a reserved area of dense trees and make a national park or something. could be hard with those small tileset cities but youve done so well this far im sure you could manage

thats all i got for now, keep up the good work.

[Twenty20 28]

Good update, you've very well organized your city. I like too the waterfront with the beaches and the ports.

In my last comment, I just say that I use to play only the great parcels of the game but never the little ones, and I think that I should also build on these ones, the result is very nice.

[fabsies55 5]

replies:

Tia-may: thanks but to be honest i sorta didn't pay that much attention.

roboo1: thanks, i think so myself.

ElBarto92: thanks. i think my forest is good too. i will try to get those files as well.

anik: thats good to know that you "LOVE" my city as i think everyone should lol

JJC12321: yea. many highways around where i live have trees all around them so i decided to put it in my city. i will try to get transition better.

Schulmanator: thanks. and dont worry we will have a property ready for you when you get here .

Mother of Invention: thanks for replying but what do you mean by doozy?

flyinbird93: thanks i will try to take your suggestions into consideration. those seawalls you won't see much of but you will see them in my cities. also i have thought of national parks in previous cities but forgot all about them. i actually have a dam being constructed so i could maybe make the area around it a national park.

Twenty20:ive tried to layout my city fairly good and im glad you like it. and i sorta understand now.

FOR EVERYONE TO DO WITH MY TRANSITION: with ym transition problem i can't help making it look like that as th file automatically makes it like that and i don't really know how to stop it.

and now its time for update 3: Guldin Bay airport and seaport. is originally kilemdo.

as i said in my intro they don't really have appropriate names because each time i made a new city i forgot the name of the previous one and couldnt connect them. so just ignore some of the signs and change them in your head to guldin

so this first picture is just my city with completed zoning and everything.

this next photo shows of my offices in this city with the Guldin Cruise ship thing.

this picture shows part of my mini airport and my suburbs.

this picture shows the Guldin Golf Course with the driving range nearby to practice first and then play.

and this picture shows my industry and my seaport.

and now is just an overview of my suburbs, airport and golf course.

and last but not least an overview of my industry and seaport with all the shops leaving port and heading out to another country.

and thats the end of this update and i hope you enjoyed it. even slightly.

[roboo1 1]

Very nice update although I don't like one thing: in the last picture, the white ship is just not in the right place. It has some ramps (opened) so the ship should be placed near the coast

[boon1234 9]

Nice, please show a region shot.

[dj's girl 0]

Nice work.

[suplado! 23]

cool developments, really like the small golf course and the port

[fabsies55 5]

replies:

roboo1: thanks its nice to know theres only 1 thing you don't like and not alot.

i never even realised that they were ramps i barely even realised they were there. thanks for your opinion

boon1234: region shot will be coming after this update. thanks for your reply

dj's girl: thanks

suplado!: yea developments are alright the gold course isnt that good but its alright. and i sorta like the port i know its my city and i sorta should like it

but not everything turns out great.

Update 5: Tropostos Mountains

this is my final update before i show you my region so yo have to reply if you wanna see my region.

these first few pictures or just pictures of my zoning in this city.

and this picture shows the Tropostos Mountain Garbage Facility that recycles and incinerates garbage from many cities like Loopley, Humbridge and Kilemdo.

and now my development.

just a little picture of a little town

and here shows the Massuri Highway that digs a tunnel thrugh the mountain and through the Tropostos National Park, and farms.
