One thing's for sure, you have made some great building choices, kudos for getting all of that custom content. Other highlights for me is the elevated rail system and the whole overall layout. With that said, I would suggest getting rid of the signs and turning off the UDI icons, both are distracting. Also, besides a lot of taxis and police cars, there really doesn't seem to be too much activity on the road. Even though NYC is packed with both, there's also plenty of regular vehicles to go around. 2.gif

Thanks for the suggestion Kyle. Most of the buildings in my cj I plopped using the extra cheats modd so these lots don't actually simulate traffic unless I let these buildings grow naturally. The problem with that is that i cant control the actual building process. I dont want a townhome popping up in the middle of brooklyn it wouldnt fit in to the surrounding architecture.  I use the signs  to lable the subway platforms.

Well with a new york recreation, you never know what your going to get. Its usually either just an excuse to spam skyscrapers, but if not its going to be pretty good. This falls in the pretty good category, I really like your brooklyn. Are you using buildingplop? I've been using that alot but it always ends up looking too fake for me. If you did use it, you did a good job with it 3.gif

Thanks Kryptonitewhite yes I am using buildingplop for my buildings its pretty easy to use you just need to plan the area your going to build on first. The most important thing is to zone the area your going to build over first.

I would love to give you suggestions but I've never been in NYC nor in the US so ...

...

... but I do know that I like the dense urbanity here and the love for the details on the not so bright corners. I definately found a gem here!

Yes the idea about the train crossing the east river was to demonstrate how in real life the N,Q,B,D lines cross the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn. I couldn't actually have the subway go on the bridge it would take some extreme modding to do so.

Actually I downloaded the NYC region off stex because the one maxis provided is not down to scale. I found a few things missing like roosevelt island and the Harlem River. I didn't feel like manually creating them.

I lived in Queens and I absolutely love the recreation of the city. If you're familiar with Forest Hills, Woodside, Flushing and Elmhurst, I would love to see your recreation of those. Keep up the good work. I didn't see a region shot and I'd love to see it. I also love the subway system that you labeled. I used to take the R train all the time to Manhattan.
