Here's another picture from my City.

Been experimenting with interchanges and overpasses last few days .. I'll post some pictures of them when I find something I'm happy with.

:blush:

So I haven't posted in ages, but here is an image from my new city in progress. On small annoyance is that the new patch doesn't allow for road-highway interchanges, but oh well. I hope you like it:

This is from a suburb of Greenbough. It is the political centre and contains many landmarks. To the right of the image a new exclusive riverside district is being created and further right from that is the main CBD.

There is a mod at this link that brings all the interchanges back, including the non-roundabout ones.

Lorahaven.

One of my cities I did a few months ago. Grew the city without any mods or cheats. I did have to allow all buildings after hitting 400k residents to get the downtown area to grow more. Last count was over 600k residents. City ran on 15 bus lines and had one subway line. Major export was agriculture.

I have noticed that most of the buildings that come with Cities XL 2011 (and almost all the buildings that came with the original Cities XL) have different styles but have enough similarity to not stand out too much in the crowd of a large city, while some MegaStructures (blueprints) and custom content (especially reskins to modern Asian style) stick out like sore thumbs.

Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

Words to live by:
"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11

"Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3

Asheroo, I really, really like the look of your city. Maybe it's those high-res shots, but I might poke around a bit, see if I can't get some inspiration. 2.gif

What I've got is a fledgling town that is currently at about 36,000 and in a recession (at 11% unemployment...41.gif). But I like it anyways 9.gif. It's called Buonocitta...:

Buonocittaontheglobe800x440.jpg

This is where it is on the planet Prospero. I labeled some of the neighboring major cities that surround it...if you squint and use your imagination, you can see my pinhole-dot-of-a-town somewhere in the middle of all of them. 3.gif

LevelmapofBuonocittaPop-36000.jpg

This is the map I'm working on, and the town as it stands right now (obviously subject to immediate change). The game doesn't really establish a "North," so I chose this orientation based on Buonocitta's position on the continent (as I found out later by taking this picture using [CTRL] + [F11], North is actually in the exact opposite direction. Oh, well...21.gif).

A closer aerial view of the town.

Anoldneighborhood.jpg

One of the first neighborhoods I built on this map. Somehow, it reminds me of home. 4.gif

Houses in the hills for the higher-ups. Very...green.

Thesuburbandowntownfromabove.jpg

This is one of the newest sections of town. It's an "Edge City," or suburban downtown--a rather heavy plop of commercial office space that has grown because of it's excellent position at the junction of two freeways. On the left are the offices (including the only towers in the city right now); on the right side is a nice High-Tech industrial campus. It's a work-in-progress; I plan on adding offices to the outer edges of the roads when demand goes up.

A couple more shots:

Hope you enjoyed it! I'll try and learn how to take some good shots of the city, then perhaps I'll post back in here.

very nice, keep on posting!

My first attempt at a CXL screen. Without being smug about it, I think it turned out very nice! :)

Here is my city of Clearwater, a former industrial city that, in the last 40-50 years has replaced it's factories and mills for offices and high street shops, but it's past still remains!
