Timet - Main CBD finished!

[-ICE-{man} 10]

This city looks quite nice and realistic too!

I love that suspension bridge which crosses the river.

Where did you get the mod for the roundabouts and the different colour for the sidewalks? I would like to include them in my cities. 

[Damastius 5]

Thank you very much! About the mods, you can find almost ALL of the mods made here: http://www.citiesxs.net/forum/index.php/topic,1259.0.html you can find some nice there, including the roundabouts and different road textures.

I like your pictures, Damastius

??? I guess this CJ died. .. R.I.P. Timet?

[Damastius 5]

No. I have many tests this week and the next weeks. No exams however but I'm not in the mood to play CXL. So no updates soon. It's lovely weather anyway!

[mentarman 14]

Well he just posted a few days ago, so I think it is a bit early to declare it dead!

[jazyje 1]

I was just joking --- I'm sure by October we will see an update!!!

[Damastius 5]

Hello, the new update is arriving earlier than Jazyje predicted, so surprise!

In this update I'll show you some random pictures and the developement of the new CBD + new industrial district.

The new CBD. 90% finished, need to add the finishing touch.




A view from the new CBD to the older one:


----

This is the new industrial district. It's located in Vocaria forest.




Wind power is conquering Timet. The wind turbines are now responsible for 25% of Timet's electricity needed for the Industry, and 10% for the offices. The plan is to raise the percentages by 10% in the next 5 years.



The new industrial district has a ring road going around it, to prevent congestion. It's working.



----

Some pictures of the different residential areas in Timet.

The suburbs:




The mid-density appartements closer to the centre:



The poorest residences in Timet:


And the living CBD.


----

Traffic is getting more dense. This year the first traffic jams have taken place, going from the Industrial district and the little towns around Timet into the CBD's.

So it's better to drive on the highways at noon,

than at rush hour.


Some overview shots to end this update:



This was it. Hope you enjoyed the update and see you in the next. Then I'll show you the finished industrial district + CBD and the Farming communities which are popping up everywhere, around Timet. Also, there's a big chance Timet has passed the 1.000.000 citizens mark, so see you later!

Lovely!!!! Great to see you back in action! I really like that new industrial district -- reminds me of something you'd see in the Netherlands or Italy where these types of industrial / warehouse districts are on the outskirts of town... Hey, what's that grand building in picture 3?

[Damastius 5]

Thank you. I believe it's a landmark or exceptional shop building. The name is something like 'Grand Victoria', or 'Queen Victoria' building.

That second to last picture is amazing. Will you decorate the highway intersection? It sticks out like a sore thumb.

[jazyje 1]

The crazy thing about that highway intersection is that it takes so much room ---- its footprint is at least half of the CBD.... (check it out in the second to last picture)....

[unholycowgod 0]

Yeah that's something I've found since playing CXL. For as advanced and free-style the road network is the highways are awfully rigid and inflexible.

That aside, great job thus far!

[froelich131 13]

This is a amazing City! Good luck with the new CBD

[Damastius 5]

Thank you all. I'm busy changing the highway interchanges to normal interchanges. It looks a lot better as Patriotizzy mentioned. Thank you again for the interest

[Skimbo 304]

Good development since I've been here the last time

[Damastius 5]

Hello, I'm back again, with some pictures of the makeover of Main CBD, and the first pictures of the district of Groosham.. a derelict industrial area, with small row houses and much pollution.

Let's get started with Main CBD!

Night shot. Notice the new Stadium on the left side.

Honduras Leisure Centre. There's a brand new soccer stadium, library, and a casino!

The New Burson Freeway now has an interchange, to avoid traffic issues at rush hour.

"Welcome" to Groosham...Teaser pictures

And, at last, an overview shot of Timet, made yesterday at noon.

Hope you enjoyed this update!!

Gush, that's just awesome. I was already waiting for the first user to submit some 'railway' entry in their CJ!!

Stupid that my computer is broken now..

Good job, looking forward for the update on 'Groosham'

[jazyje 1]

Nice railways!!!! I don't see any trains though -- are they operational yet? I don't think so --- I couldn't take the train to the football stadium (at the Honduras Leisure Centre) today to watch the USA-GHANA game in Timet.... Had to drive.... Got to chat with Bill Clinton and Mick Jagger on the stands though...

Gosh, USA lost to Ghana today at the stadium in Timet!!!! Now I have to drive 4 hours to watch Germany-England tomorrow.

[Damastius 5]

Hahaha Thanks Jazye. The railways aren't operational but it looks very cool. Don't forget that Holland has to play against Slovakia very soon in Honduras Leisure Centre. Don't forget!!

[Skimbo 304]

Hehe, nice job

Yeah, tomorrow afternoon -- I'm coming... Can you recommend some good rerstaurants + maybe a more upscale hotel this time in Timet???

[Damastius 5]

Ofcoure I'd prefer Copacabana palace, but it's at the other side of town! I f you don't want to drive that much I think you should go to the hotel next to it: Honduras Grandas. It's not that luxe as Copacabana but it's good enough for ya, I'm sure . About the restaurants; you need to try Dickson's Panoramic Restaurant located in Main CBD. (In Timet, not in the city of Dickson itself!). And you also could try the restaurant on the second floor in the casino!

Hope this helps you in Timet haha. Have fun!

[supercity124 8]

I see railroad tracks and I don't see trains!!!

[Guibanez_ 177]

Wow, amazing city!!! Looks very realist!

[hotChocolate 95]

Very nice, man! I love the two CBD's.

[Androv 6]

I love how real the cities look on the high quality graphics Particularly when they're laid out naturally like Timet is This city looks excellent!
