Well, I thought this thread needs a bump.

And since I'm at it, I might as well post a picture . It's from Sterling, the biggest town in my region. It currently has a population of just above 15.000.

Phill, that shot is awesome !! I'll put it in my image folder

EDIT => Not plugins but images.....

[danielcote 9]

Very nice choice of architecture and design. Even the houses of the coast looke nicely snug in the forest!

[mrbisonm 1,622]

Phil,

That is wonderfully done, well observed from real life towns and beautifully managed in simcity. I have seen hundreds of towns in the past 6 years of SC4's existance and rarely (maybe even never...) seen one detailed like this.

Downtown is perfect and with the housing around it, it just looks more real than real itself, including the park trails near the coast/waterfront, the coastal management near downtown, the rails that look like they have been there way before the first settlement and the bordering farms.

Honestly ...Hats off...I rarely see something that well reproduced with SC4 like this......Are there any more pictures of that region to see somewhere else?  Stupid me, I just went to see your CJ...

Just great, if you take the time to look at all the details.

Thank you so much everyone.

mrb: thanks a lot for that great compliment. It gives me the feeling that what I tried to do is working. The region is loosely based on Burlington, VT. I got a lot of inspiration from looking at Google satellite views of the region and other areas of New England and the northern US in general. I found these are useful for the planning... but not necessarily for the feel. It's amazing how certain areas have developed kind of a life of their own while playing. It's like the organic growth I'm achieving really starts to translate into the game.

[danielcote 9]

Very nice CJ. I'm looking forward to more updates they're very moving!

Hey! I like the pictures you posted. I'm not that great at Sim City 4. My teacher is assigning it as a project and we have to build a city ground up. I was looking for an average city 10,000 or more people with a budget surplus, minimal pollution, etc. If you could send me one of your cities, I could paypal you a small payment of 15-20 bucks depending on if I could personalize the city you sent. Please e-mail me at LSalman5@gmail.com if you can do this. I would appreciate a city without any mods or cheats.

Thanks

[villagemayor 0]

wow I love the small marinas it really gives the town that small town feeling. Nice details!

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

great small towns!

[danielcote 9]

Thanks heres a small farm town I just started working on its sort of self explanatory Jefferson fields, for the farm fields around it. It has all the bare basics in shopping and there is even a farmers market that happens every sunday and the block off the resedential street just to do it.

Oh and that pink house up at the top on spruce street is up for sale just call me if you're intrested.

[villagemayor 0]

simple pic but perfect danielcote. The water tower with the happy face is cute. The house for sale, is it a fixer-upper?

[danielcote 9]

The house you see for sale has a 2x2 property lots of room if you want to expand have a gazebo green house or pool. Frank an old man always mows every body's lawns once a week for free because its his wierd hobby. The master bead room has a small balcolny and the only fixer upper part of it is the ugly 1970's bar downstairs.

Heres Windsor fields and Windsor county.

Heres windsor the biggest town in the county and the only one with a railroad station.

Heres some of the famouse orchards.

Heres a 4 bedroom 3 bath room house for sale for $200,421.

Heres the Hudso soccer fields and the sports canteen usually played on by the Bears and the foxes both Intermediate teams.

Heres downtown Windsor. The residents take pride in thier Tea room wich also serves as a billiards hall upstairs.

@ steelersfanforlife: What I like about your town is that it's quite secluded... you might wanna work on the transition between the town and the woods thiugh. As it is now, it's too abrupt which is rather unrealistic. Also, your town is missing a focal point. Even small towns have some kind of center such as a park, church or market place. It looks like a subdivision right now.

@ danielcote: I like your town, very nice waterfront and camp site. I like your archiectural mix at Dry Docks. Also the little point looks very nicely developed. Your rural settings look very good too, nice details.

[danielcote 9]

Thanks Ièd like to see some of youère city too but Ièll just chack it out on youère CJ.

Now heres some Editing Ive done.

Theres a fire oh now what shall we do  

Well the fires over all thanks to our hard working Firemen and thier trusty ... Beavers ...

Yes thats right thes firefighters prefer beavers over dallmations. Kinda funny isnt it.

The dissasterouse storm of 32.

But as you can take from the example of the modern thriving town today what doesnt kill you will only make you stronger.

This is after the storm in 35 how much it has changed... sigh

[GamerOS 1]

there is nothing to see here...

[danielcote 9]

Hey Im back.

Ok now the onet bank company got bought out by TD and the company wants to expand the bank building and its property and is offering more financial support if I accept. But the historical socialty wants me to preserve our heretige and some residence are complaining because there is some groundhog burrows there.

So we either A keep this historic landmark with a steam powered clock infront of it.

We B demolish it get the money for the funds and watch our city enter regular 1950s modernization with the rest of the world at this time.

Or C use the funds given to move the whole building somwhere else like on the beach.

                      YOU DECIDE

PLEASE COMMENT IT IS VITAL FOR THE EARTH AS WE KNOW IT danadanadanadana creepy

now heres REDTROUT long time no see huh.

Loggers are starting to tred down on forest behind residential units and the locals are complaining like crazy about the noise.

                                          Remember children  reply or death will come teehee

Oh and nice town love the interstate cross section

[PhilsCafe 8]

@ danielcote: I'd say option A. Nice developments! I don't have anything new to show, except from some farmland... but as soon as I've done some new towns, I'll post them.

@ GamerOS: I actually like the attempt.

[art128 4,622]
