Some input needed... please!

[Millipede69 0]

I'm trying to make a really industrial nasty slum like city... I started out with an idea for a neighborhood called "The Garbage Pits"... This map is the largest size section... should I add extra pits for landfills or is what I have enough for this map? I will be using most of the land area on this map. I want most of the garbage disposal in the general area in this picture. It will be the most grotesque place to live in the entire city.. hopefully! Any advice or plugin recommendations would be greatly appreciated. -Millipede

Try looking at city Journals for their uses of plugins & ask them what they used. I'll point you towards Soviet Black Sea Union.

Soviet Black Sea Union seems way beyond me.... just got this game 3 days ago! It is stunning though.

You just got the game three days ago and already have all that custom content? Wow. Pretty impressive.

Don't know if you'd care for these except to mix things up a bit, but there's an urban scrapyard on the STEX (I think it's by Paeng?) and also a waste tech plant by CSX on the LEX.

Your city is looking good Millipede69, Fukuda makes some good grimy bats you can serch for his stuff on the STEX.

This is a link to Peg's garbage chute, which, although designed to dump garbage over the edge of your city, could be used to 'dump' garbage into your garbage pits. Technically, the garbage from these chutes does not actually 'fall' anywhere, but they would look much more slummier than your sunken highway walls

Peg's garbage chutes can even be used on flat land.

Nope, they're fine. The lightposts go on top and the dark strip goes on the botom. I believe they're supposed to represent guardrails (at least that's what I've imagined). As for the landfills, you probably need more, or use some of the custom garbage removal items mentioned.  And you're looking pretty 'nasty' there (in a good way, of course   ). Considering a CJ of your own?

Just fyi, there are a few really good industrial BATs at this Japanese site at:

Not grimy but very heavy duty manufacturing--not anything the Sims would want to live near, that's for sure.

Sorry about that; shouldn't use abreviations. 

CJ = City Journal

It's when creators post pictures of their cities they have develpoed. Often accompanied by a storyline of some sort. Check the menu at the top of the page for the "City Journal" section.
