I use that God Mode cheat quite often - I just hate how you can't control it well even with the SHIFT+1. Especially when trees end up in parking lots.

Godiva has some great stuff; I'll check that out. But I meant for the palm trees to be ON the streets, which isn't possible in 2D networks 15.gif.

I second smarty218. If you want trees on the streets, just look for some street tree mods. There are a good number available.

The custom houses looks fantastic. The trees make it look more wealthy. Well done.

Great! Nice incorporation of parks. How do you get them not to abandon though? It seems for me like if there isn't a store right next to them, the homes abandon.

Next up....

Yes!  Great shot of Maxis buildings, The_sanderson!  Nice to see Maxis finally get some recognition for looking nice!

I have some pictures to share.  This is from an area I just built...:

J0nnD0ugh: Thanks!  Heh heh...I wish I could give pointers, but I can't.  Those are actually the first hillside homes that I'm actually satisfied with...34.gif

All I can really say is to not zone larger than 2 tiles deep, or else you might get those big blocky houses.  That's about all I can say, though...31.gif

Masochist: Cool perspective thing you got going there!

Here are a few shots of my LA-style city (part of an LA-style region). I use 95%+ Maxis, since having many downloads seem to screw up the game. Sorry about pictzue size.

Before:

Nice suburbs all!

Here are some from my new "suburben" city

--

ahhh, the nice look of a suburb! i got busstations around, but i use the "small bus stop" mod, looks like a little green park with a busstop infront ( realistic one ).

You maybe notice some 3x3 spots just filld with tree's, i think it looks nice and add's just enough green 4.gif. The houses arnt rich yet, as you can see its a beginning ( map ).

Some more close, detailed vieuw. I specialy like the parkd cars on the sidewalk!

Woah! Look at the map now 4.gif pic 1 and 2 where on the right side of the avenue. Here you got a more clear few if my road layout, just done out of the head, no real idea where i wanted to go to ( no grid 4.gif )

You can see the more commercial central of the town ( for now ) and the rail station working around ( and under ) the city!

If you got a good eye then you already noticed that i plannend ahead with some avenues and railway's (map).

Hope you liked them, i'm putting some more up soon!

Keep the work up simtropolions!

Hey, great job! The trees are cool. Both types. They make the places even better! That rail loop is very creative.
