Portsmouth

[jakehh 52]

Welcome to Portsmouth

Portsmouth is located Approximately 100kms south of Wisoma,

it is run by the council / shire named Southern Bay

Portsmouth is based on the end of port and start of a forest, making it very difficult for growth toward the eastern side.

Jobs in portsmouth have been difficult after wisoma growing its CBD and the transport link finished, making travel to Wisoma city an hour instead of the 2 hour "scenic" route.

Here is the main northern area, with the new El-Rail transit.

Portsmouth CBD is on the waterfront (CBD is the full water front to provide easier access)

Tell me what you think

This town looks very peaceful - I'm surprised you need 2 large hospitals, though...

[jakehh 52]

@Benedict: i need the hospitals because they complain about funding so much.

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

Doing well!

I like the use of NAM puzzle pieces, great job!

@Nathanthemayor, Thank you.

@DCMetro34, I try my best. Its not as good as i wanted it to be. But its more realistic than my idea of rail down each street.

Update 1;

Rail connection to the Airport has been finalised, but it has caused much controversy through the town, many find the rail connection good. many find it a waste of money along with the Airport, But here is a picture of it just being finalised.

Due to the lack of Commercialism in Portsmouth and the high demand in Wisoma, wisoma has agreed to pay Portsmouth to build a brand new CBD area, which will hopefully support the high amount of job seekers.

Above: Northern CBD

Below: Waterfront CBD

These just got renovated for the growing population.

 Hope you guys enjoyed your small trip around the southern area of Portsmouth

Your mix of custom/maxis content is good, but I have to say one thing:Turn off the grid by pressing "G" in-game. That way, it won't be distracting(Not that i have always done that lol)

[esclade.01 0]

Looking Great!! I also like how it shares the name as the same city I live in, Portsmouth, Ohio, USA.

[Jedimarine 119]

I love that Elevated Rail Bridge...where is that from?

[Deathcat001 8]

Great CJ Start.. Except THAT WAS MY CITY NAME! *Rage* 

Okay 

[jakehh 52]

@NathantheMayor; I figured out when i clicked g by accident i was like sitting there pressing buttons for ages until it did it again. Thanks for the advice though

@Esclade01; I do want to visit that city along with NYC and San Fransisco.

@Jedimarine; I think the El-rail Bridge is the Default one or the one from NAM (High elevated Rail Bridge)

@Deathcat001; Sorry that the odds of it being the same name, but there are so many cities world wide with the same name (EG/ Torquay UK, Torquay Aus (1 in Vic, 1 in QLD))

[Jedimarine 119]

Could you please check again...I currently don't have that bridge with my NAM, and I'm on current release.

Anybody know what bridge that is?

[jakehh 52]

@Jedimarine; I do believe you are mistaken, as it seems that the bridge is the default one. Here is a picture of the bridge selections i have to provide any help if you do not believe me.

Any futher questions, Please don't hesitate to ask

EDIT:

New Updates (2)

The State fair has come! Enjoy the Ride(s) and leave arms & legs inside the carriage at all times.

And to keep you all informed on the suburbs, CBD etc that have been planned, Here is a picture of the City Overview (Just Birdeye view)

As you can see where a huge amount of trees have been cut down in the airport region, Is where 12 Apartment Complex's are planned to be built to support international travellers for the Music Festival in Wisoma.

Lol I think you have the wrong city. I live in Portsmouth, OHIO.. you are probably talking about Portsmouth, VIRGINIA. About 500K population difference.. Lol

[jakehh 52]

Maybe. But there is afew Portsmouth(s). Like The one in UK

[zahrul3 471]

Well, good start but use some growable residential and commercial BATs. Nice use of el-rail above road/street/avenue, very good and rarely seen. I also want to see the airport, use ACE-VLT terminals and Volitaire's runways(can be found on STEX) and not the default, it looks good in a forest setting

[jakehh 52]

@Zahrul3; Thank you, I have no idea on how to do Modules with Airports.

[jakehh 52]

Update;

The new Airport Underground Expressway/Freeway has begun its construction, The speed limit set after the opening is only 70km/h (43m/h), But after the first few weeks, It will be 110 (69-70m/h)

Southern Port entrance: (Airport Expressway/Freeway)

And the Airport Exit (Another entrance added after the Airport exit.)

Its quite simple, here's a guideline:

https://www.simtropolis.com/omnibus/index.cfm/Main.SimCity_4.Custom_Airports_Building_FAQ

Runways are like NAM puzzle pieces, you can use SWAP(which includes entire functioning terminals). ACE terminals are the same, some VLT terminals have open insides so it has its own edge puzzle pieces. Look at the Show us your Airports for examples.

This is looking good...can't wait to see the airport.

Hey,

My latest update that i've been doing is the rest of the "Esther" region, (Includes Portsmouth & Wisoma) Tell me what you think..

Cities in this:

Top Left corner; Wisoma

Middle Left; Portsmouth.

The Portsmouth Urban Living Plan,

- Build a Green Belt around the city and keep the Southern port Green (Done)

- Transport to and from the CBD (Done)

- Wisoma Road Replacement (Done - M1)

- Southern Bay Link (M1, Planning)

- Nottingham & Nottingham Island Highway OnRamps and OffRamps.

Now thats been written, Here are some pictures of the renewal of Portsmouth Suburban homes after the minor Recession from the M1 Construction.

And a Major Reconstruction on the Waterfront Business'

Oh no! Portsmouth has been hit with extreme weather warnings, And a fire has occured in the south, The cause of the fires is being inspected, But it is believed a hooligan started the fire (Picture of where it started below)

Info: The fires were stopped 12 hours after it had ignited. The fire reached an end just 500 metres from its origin because of the good working Firemen of Portsmouth & surrounding cities. (Costs; $200,000)

The trains that go by the flaming tower better be careful...

[jakehh 52]

All southbound trains have been cancelled until futher notice, (Mainly Airport rail)

Updates: As Portsmouth has gained much more population, it has decided to build a new airport Closer into the city, So here's somewhat of a teaser but more of a preview. (Yes, i know grid is on)

All southbound & University trains will service the city airport, and only the southbound trains will terminate at the Portsmouth Regional Airport.

Good luck with this cj.

[zahrul3 471]

Good luck, but i dont reccomend you to use those 2003-style airport runways and taxiways. I reccomend you downloading all RMIP packs, all of ACE's terminals and all of Josh6's lotted planes

[jakehh 52]

I just updated it all. it looks terrible at the moment, The terminals i did not understand so i used some terrible brick styled ones. Its a great laugh to look at.

[jakehh 52]

Airport update:

Here is the terminal & Carparks etc, There is a small Commercial area at the airport.

And the new runway below;

Ignore the image error please. And don't reply if you're going to just comment about it being bad or unrealistic etc, Its my first airport.

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

Looks good for your first;I felt the same with my first custom airport. Where did you get the concourses/terminals?
