Update 0: Intro to Destiny

(All images unless noted are able to be viewed in full resoultion)

Destiny is a prosperous budding region. It also has an interesting history behind the CBD.....

*insert fade to Great Plew East of the Great Plew Region*

When BLaM disbanded, their HQ was practicly vacant from the 25th floor on up. 3 companies, TeleNex Telecomunications Co., H2Woah Bottled Water Co., and Channel 7 News.

These 3 companies then took advantage of the cheap real estate to set up a new, larger HQ.

Meanwhile, Destiny's first city was being established. (Sorry for grid)

Over the next few years, the new cities flourished as they farmed the land. A transit authority and central goverment has been established, and now, a network of highways are being woven across the region, as is the rest of the region's layout.

Here is an early planout of the region's highways:

After some 10 years of rapid building, the D-DOT (Destiny Department of Transit) decided to remake the map to better reflect the progress and changes.

Blue is finished, Red is planned

As you can see, lots of development has occured, and the CBD has even started to take shape. However, you notice that there are skyscrapers popping up from nowhere. Remember those three companies? Well, they have set up together some large inter-regional HQs. Thus, the need of workers being nearby has allowed residential skyscrapers to develop.

To be continued....

The next update I will transfer over tommorow, so just sit tight.

Whoa, nice screens for a start! And that metropolis REALLY stood out, with an awesome impression now left on me. Great start to a CJ.

Archean: Thanks Mikey! Though that metropolis isn't part of the region, but the metropolis of Destiny will exceed it, so stay tuned when we eventually get there....

Zelgadis: Hehe... I take large pics. I'm glad you liked the opening pic!

jacqulina: Hey, thanks!

And here I bring Update 1: Welcome to Destiny: Arrival in Cross of the Mountains

Center of Cross of the Mountians showing one of two statues found in the surrounding mountians.

*Ding* Please fasten your setbelts, we will arrive at DSP shortly. *Ding*

Here, we arrive at currently the only operational airport in the region. Its temperary inter-regional code is DSP.

Even though this is a small rural town, it still has a pretty respectable transit center.

Another angle (you can tell that this BT line is a slooooow zone):

Now, here is a slightly outdated map (two ramps have been moved) but otherwise is accurate.

A few looks around Cross of the Mountains:

Hwy 31 Exit 1 to Ring Road

A close look at the overpass and DDOT sign

A sunset overview of the whole city:

Also, by looking at this pic and the ovepass pics, you can tell we have magical color-changing rocks.

Hope you enjoyed,

Vince

Well, that cetainly is good use of transit options! Looks like we know who has more authority in the town: the farmers! They went through all that hassle to save their land and force the el-train to meander around into no-mans-land!

Looking forward to more!

[Follarch 326]

That has to be, the most interesting and unusual small town I've seen as of yet. You deserve a trixie!

Good job with the town, wonder how it would look at a big city. And that airport's gonna get bigger, i just know it.

[jacqulina 162]

Raysfan16: Hehe thanks. Actually, I put the bullet train line at the last minute, and I cant split farms in half without the farmers complaining.

Archean: Wow, thanks. I'm not sure about a trixe though lol. And about that airport.... it might get moved then expanded

jaqulina: Thanks! Glad you liked my pics and transit networks!

Victor: Hehe, thanks Victor!

Eh, well, I'm not gone.... just that its taking a lot for the next update... I have so much modding to do, and a lot of trees to plop  So heres a random update with pretty random pics....

A little look at the unfinished CBD.... surrounding it is the Destiny Loop, where highways 11,25,131, and 15 converge and then disperse:

Going light-crazy in The Flats:

Are you really sure that you want to go over 35 MPH?

Fun with GIMP:

"IMA CHARGIN MAH LAZOR!!!!!!!11!!!1!!!"

Evening highway traffic as sims return from Destiny Center back to their homes in The Flats

The daily trams have gotten a little long

Well, thats all I have now. I know I have the grid on for some of these pics, they weren't planned for.

Well, time for update 2!

Update 2: I Haven't the Foggiest

Part 1

 

Lets start with some mappage! (Click for FULL 821x2443)

 

Mountians of the Sea

(Part one of two of whole update)

Here we are entering the city on Highway 31

Even already, you can tell that the region runs on clean energy sources:

And here we are at our exit to reach the main area of Mountians of the Sea

A little look at signage

Once route 3 tunnels through the mountian, it upgrades to an avenue, passes under Highway 225, and terminates into Fjord Blvd.

A little look at the medium density development and the freeway (or highway, expressway, whatever ) dividing the two.

More development:

A look at the monument of the city:

More industy!

A tight turnaround on the bullet trian line to ascend the mountian

But for now, lets cross the fjord to the other side.

Here we are on the most substandard section of Highway 225 and the second most in the region where it croses Pennt Avenue. Off to the right is a large plaza, and off to the left are more residential developments.

A look at those developments: (Night shots only, day shots went missing! Sorry!)

And a few overviews.

And that ends Update 2 part 1. Part 2 will be up shortly.

[Vahr 341]

Double posting to bring in update 2 part 2...forsome reason the edits I make to the post right above wont save.

Destiny Update 2 Part 2 24.06.09 Raindal   Here we are arriving into the city of Raindal. Right now its not foggy so driving should be fine. A look at the VMS, RHW, and GHSR line. (Highway 225) The first interchange: H31 (West side) and H225 (South side) to H225-H31 (North side) A look at the next interchange: H31, H225, Raindal Farms Road before the Raindal Farms Road bridge was put in. The Raindal Road Bridge during construction apparently attracted some sims to rear-end the construction vehicles: The compleated bridge: More bridge shots: Now we detour a little off to W Raindal Farms Road The climb to reach Foggy Pass She'll be coming round the mountian when she come...she'll be overheating brakes that be sure.... Oh she'll be crashing down the mountain and into some RRP fences oh yes she'll be flying down the mountian when she comes.... A look at a small HSR station Now... we wont go any further than this (gotta protect those sims' priavcy) The fog is getting heavy: Its getting even heavier: And now we do some highway construction! Here we are looking at the last leg between Cross of the Mountains with Central Destiny: Clearing of the ROW Grading and exposure of dirt Laying gravel down Finished result: A little look at the tunnel entrances and exits. West side: East side: And that concludes Update 2. Hope you enjoyed! Vince
