Sedgeford + Cork

[Viles 0]

Hello,

Some of you may have looked at my last CJ, Cork, which I have had plugin problems with and its becoming harder and harder to run. So I decided to start another city, this time with a map downloaded off the STEX and a more organised plugins folder. I will be showing you the region map and a bit of history ect in the next update but for now soem pictures giving a look at the downtown so far.

Now a closer look at some of the buildings.

On Marshall Corner situates the second tallest tower in the district, completed in 2001 it is currently owned by a foreign bank.

Shield Plaza is currently the tallest building in the district, it was completed in 2000 as part of the millenium development project. Inside the shiny facade is the Sedgeford trade center and stock market.

Hawker square was completed in the 1960's as part of a post war development, with the square being named after the famous British aircraft manufacturer.

Moving west from the financial district is Farrier road home to two modern mid-rises built in the 1980's.

While much of Sedgeford has been developed into shiny new offices, a lot of the older buildings still remain. Baron cross being a popular tourist destination because of the two towers built in the nineteenth century.

Nice! I like the skyscrapers on the waterfront and the deep blue water.

[Amerikaner 42]

Thats a pretty nice start you have there, I like your building style. I would recommend getting a different water mod however, it would make those water shots even more impressive than they already are.

Try this one- https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=11836

This is really good!  I am impressed.  I dont mind only pictures.  Im not one who likes to read alot of text lol.  I liked the little walk along the water.  Very pretty!  Nice job incorporating the French w2w & modern looking buildings.

I love the scenery. It's a beautiful start

[spore415 5]

Looks very beautiful and Scenic. i see you have a bank (royal Bank of Brent, skyscraper) in your city. if you wouldn't mind, i am very impressed with your city and would like to expand my bank (WCB) into your city. if you are intreted, please sendme a PM

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Well, as long as you have pictures like that, I don't know if too many people will be complaining about the lack of descriptions.

ooh, a fancy banner.

panthersimcity4 - First comment! Thank you!

Amerikaner - Thanks for commenting. Yeah I agree the water mod isn't the greatest and I have been trying to change it but I can't because I think the terrain mod I'm using won't let me. :S

BlondeTwiggy - Thanks, glad you like the w2w buildings, I didn't use them much in Cork but hoping to use them a lot more here.

anarchy0029 - Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

spore415 - Thanks for commenting, I guess I could find your bank an office or a branch somewhere, as I get quite stuck for names

edmonton_stinks - Thanks a lot, I've added a bit of describtion but I'm not really a storyteller.

Another update wooo.

We start off by moving across the bridge...

Bridgewater Place perhaps one of my favoruite buildings on Sim City, probably because a few weeks ago I was stuck in traffic in Leeds for ages. Anyway the building is a shopping centre and offices.

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Woo, indeed. Great office tower update!

[jacqulina 162]

very nice start and first pics my friend,excellent seawalls.very nice mosaics

[spore415 5]

great pics, and don't worry, my bank already has come up with a name for the proposed office tower!

[roboo1 1]

Promising start of your CJ! I will definatelly get some inspirations for my CJ

[JJC12321 0]

i've got to get some of those buildings. there perfect size and all. love how this is coming along. keep it up

[blue sinjid 7]

Hey this is a very promising cj coming along here. *wooooo* I always love cjs who use mosaics

edmonton_stinks - Thank you for commenting.

jacqulina - Thank you, glad you like the seawalls. They wern't my first choice of seawalls but I think they look quite good too.

spore415 - It will be modest tower, I'm resisting the temptation of putting up supertall skyscrapers everywhere.

roboo1 - Thanks, honoured that you can use this as insporation for your CJ , which is excellent so far.

JJC12321 - Most of the buildings I have shown so far are made by ill tonkso and porkissimo. Glad your enjoying it and thank you for commenting.

blue sinjid - Thank you! Mosaics are great, a bit of a faff but worth it.

I was going to post an update now, but I messed up the mosaic so you'll have to do with just one picture I forgot to put in the last update. I'm such a meanie

[Haljackey 17,303]

Looking great here! Awesome job Viles!

I have 2 pointers to give ya:

1. I see you are using the euro road textures mod, but its not working for curves or diagonals. To fix this, make sure it loads AFTER the NAM. You can put a "zzz" in front of the filename to ensure this.

2. Some of your slopes look a little steep and bumpy. I would suggest getting a slope mod to make your slopes more realistic.

Other than that amazing start! I look forward to more of Sedgeford!

Best,

-Haljackey

[psander5 195]

Nice start Viles. I enjoyed Cork, but I don't think i'll miss it thanks to this new effort!

I like Bridgewater Place too. It looks great as you approach Leeds on the train! I don't drive but I know Leeds is supposed to be one of the worst inner city driving experiences in the UK.

I like your use of the old buildings at Baron Cross. That's a nice, fancy banner too!

[feliwi 4]

nice CJ, I love your selection of buildings!

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Regardless of the size of the update, you're still updating amazingly frequently. Besides, it's a good picture. Are those gascooker houses I see in the background?

[Viles 0]

haljackey - Thanks! The problem with the road textures is because I was using a mod which gets rid of the annoying grass next to diagonals but it doesn't work with the euro road mod. If anyone could find a solution to this I will be very greatful. Agreed about the slopes, I have aslope mod installed but not when I did the bridges.

psander5 - Thank you. Yes, inner Leeds is awful traffic wise, didn't help that the directions decided to take me through the city centre.

feliwi - Thanks for commenting!

edmonton_stinks - The updates are coming thick and fast at the moment, I should really space them out a bit but oh well.

On with the update!

A little bit of overview for you, but I can't give too much away yet!

The buildings above run along the avenue that leads up to the bridge.

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Another great update! The office towers and W2W's are incredibly well used. I love the mosaic as well.

They just keep coming!

[Amerikaner 42]

Looking really nice again. I really like your shots and the style you are using, reminds me of my old work a bit when I did TIENT.

Anyway fabulous work on that last mosaic, the modern and Parisian styles match together so nicely. The banner your using is just as interesting as well, I think I looked at it longer than the update, haha!

[Haljackey 17,303]

Ah, so that's why. I am not too sure what you can do to fix that, but I'd suggest you post it in the NAM board to bring it to the team's attention.

-Good to know you got a slope mod!

...And another amazing update too! You sure have wonderful city building and photoshopping skills! Nice work!

Best,

-Haljackey

edmonton_stinks - Thank you, I guess I'm just a lean, mean, updating machine

Amerikaner - Thanks a lot, glad you like it.

haljackey - I might have to pop in and tell them then. I've also re done the bridges with the slope mod and its looknig a lot more smoother. Also thank you for commenting.

Keep your comments coming, I enjoy reading them but now time for another update!

[CarmineHilton 6]

Some beautiful pictures you have here. I can see you're a big fan of Ill_Tonkso's bats h

[edmonton_stinks 5]

All these updates are hard to keep up with. I'm having a tough time posting on all of them.

Another great downtown update! You've got a good selection of offices to go with the Parisian W2W's.

[roboo1 1]

Nice choice of buildings and some outstanding mozaics! Thanks for your reply

[jacqulina 162]
