Oh wow. Good thing I didn't miss this. I've been lurking around waiting for a development update, and you didn't disappoint!

Coming from the suburbs myself, I know exactly what you are trying to build and accomplish with some of your stuff. Like the manmade ponds....I bet they have fountains with a silly name relating to nature.... lol.

I'd like to see what you'll do with the Convention Center in downtown, but I won't get ahead of you and hopefully just enjoy some real(istic?) suburbs for now.

Awesome! From OHIO here, Love C-bus

Benedict - Yup, forgot to turn on the simulation when I took pics. Good eye.

wwetom1 - Thanks! I consider suburbs my specialty, even though they are boring.

Wakita_OK_Boy - Thanks. It's going to be a while until I work my way to OSU. Still have a long way to go.

nate1245 - Glad you like it

lucky7 - Yeah, rotating the map does make it easier to build on and it makes it more asthetically pleasing too.

mvannata - You live in Pickerington? Do you have any pics of your recreation? I'd like to see it.

gio10469 - Thanks!

SC4BOY - Free time is few and far between, I do what I can

Raysfan16 - Glad that you've been following this project. I bet you're right about the naming convention. I drove my there yesterday but didn't think about looking to see what the name of the subdivision is lol. About the convention center, I really don't know what I will do with that. It will definitely be a pita.

WindsorGotha - Always glad to see Ohio natives checking in!

Unfortunately, like I said before, I just haven't had much time to do a lot of work on this. I did work on the suburbs a little bit the last few days though...

Once that suburban chunk is finished, I will show some closeups.

For anyone that's interested in comparisons, here's a Google maps link to the same area: http://goo.gl/maps/KOoc

Wonderful realistic recreation!

[dfnva 34]

This is coming together nicely! Good work.

[lucky7 73]

It is already looking great so far! One can truly imagine the completed area and I am sure it'll look very scenic. Don't worry about time as that is absolutely no indication for quality...

Take care,

lucky7

[Benedict 3,119]

Can't wait to see some pictures with some growth.

lucky7 - Thanks! It's already looking pretty scenic, I just need to finish an area so I have something interesting to show.

Benedict - Me too lol.

Llama attack! All soybean crops beware!

This is from Abby Trails, off of Old Long Road.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

LOL... those llamas look hungry!

[DustyLee23 6]

Wow amazing suburbs!! About an hour or so north of Columbus myself im definetly going to watch out for updates here!! Hope to see more soon

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

Looking awesome!

[buckeyefreak 0]

It's been a very long time since I did anything with simcity but I still check out the site almost daily to see what is going on. I saw Columbus and had to look. Map looks great! I am in the Hilliard area now.

[Benedict 3,119]

Very nice, and different, update!

[WillG_75 19]

REPLIES

Shulmanator: Yes, they sre are. Word has it they invaded a local apartment complex and started mugging old people bringing groceries into their units

malibu_man: Thanks! Seems like there's a good number of central Ohioans on the board.

nathanthemayor: Thanks!

buckeyefreak: And another lol. Thanks!

Benedict: Yep, thanks!

Updated Road Map time. As you can see, I have moved south to Old Pickerington, as well as North to Slate Ridge Blvd (north of the highway) and west to Blacklick Estates, my home neighborhood.

[DustyLee23 6]

Great transportation map, region seems to be coming along nicely. Keep it up!

[kakado_to_save 514]

OH NO!! no soybean!! the transportation map looks good. like a computer chip thing :S

[Benedict 3,119]

Excellent progress on your street map! Great to see you continuing with this project.

[WillG_75 19]

malibu_man: Thanks! It's come even further. I have Reynoldsburg's roads all laid out.

kakado_to_save: Interesting connection there lol. Thanks

Benedict: Yep. It's coming along nice and slowly lol.

Here ya go. Maybe the greatest interchange ever made for SC4

Bonus points to whoever can figure out which interchange this is.

[FreewayofFlight 41]

I-71 North at I-270! I live near the Budweiser plant!

That was quick lol. Yep it's up near Worthington. I actually work not too far from there, up on Campus View Blvd.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Wow, looks like some good progress! O-H!!!

[tonyr 926]

Interesting suburb!

[zcg4755 13]

This is quite impressive, I love recreations! You must have a lot of patience. I can't wait to see how things develop.

[x493x 446]

That is looking REALLY nice! Love it.

[Benedict 3,119]

Good to see you back, and very nice work on that interchange.

[WillG_75 19]

NMUSpidey - Thanks! Yeah, it WAS some good progress. Unfortunately I got a virus and had to revert to a previous backup and lost pretty much all of my Worthington area.

tonyr - We,, at least as interesting as a suburb can be lol. Thanks for viewing.

zcg4755 - Yeah, I also love recreations. They aren't done nearly enough as they should either.

x493x - Thanks!

Benedict - Thanks! Yes, that interchange was quite the challenge, but it's fun when you can recreate something challenging and have it be almost exactly the same as the real life counterpart.

I've been busy lately with school and work. Worked 52 hours last week and decided I'm going to take a few days off lol. So I decided to get back to this and take on an interchange that has been challenging me for years. Turns out that I got it done in under two hours. This is the I-270/I-670/US-62 interchange near Gahanna.

Link to the aerial of the real interchange: http://goo.gl/maps/M8aB

I only had to leave out one of the ramps.

[Kusajika Yachiru 9]

Question, how come you're not using one way roads? Why use roads?

[Mikeaut1 261]

Very realistic road network!! Keep up the fantastic work!
