Oakland County: Update 50 - gaming anyone?

[packersfan 666]

Nice rail in between the road. I've wanted to try out the tram in the NAM, but I haven't really gotten around to that yet.

I was linked here by a friend, and I love it. Very well put, you can see a lot of thought has been put into making this city realistic and great looking. Looking forward to seeing more

Great work again. I love your particular style. It suits the mid west well.

Have you ever looked into different ways of compressing pictures into jpgs? I know you can show off your city in much higher quality.

Small but great update

Very nice update. I really like the shopping area and mid-rise buildings. Look forward to watching the area grow.

[vivapanda 422]

Great development! Those appartments fit very well in the surroundings.

[packersfan 666]

Nice new development. I hope I can master it like you have when I get to that point in my region.

[Benedict 3,119]

I like the development - done in a logical but natural way.

[AdoxxBE 289]

Those commercial areas look really great

Thanks to all for your recent comments.

This will be my last post for a couple of weeks while I'm on vacation. When I get back I will be starting a series on the regions "Second City". Think seaport...

By until then,

Dick

I'm looking forward to seeing how your second city differs in personality. Have a great vacation!

[simlink 1,098]

Have a fantastic vacation! I agree with Benedict, looking forward to how this new city is different.

It looks like you put a lot of work into that seaport. The place is huge, the right size for a medium sized port and coastal industrial center. About the size of Savannah/Port Wentworth or Charleston's Also reminds of Mobile, and the feel of driving across the miles-long bridge over the bay into the city with the industry strung out in front of you.

I was thinking a pulp or paper mill would be a nice addition. Even if it doesn't fit the Oakland County theme, you could just say it grew as the area was an industrial center and anything can come in by rail from far away. I mean, there is a Georgia-Pacific plant in the Texas Panhandle after all. Not sure what they make there.

Here's hoping that in the next simcity bridges might have elevated viaduct approaches over land so embankments are not needed.

Good to see that you can build a different type of city very good as well

[Benedict 3,119]

The port is fantastic. I love how naturally the rails flow into the port area. The bridge is an outstanding piece of work - love the rise up to the level of the main bridge deck.

And congratulations on your well-deserved Trixie!

Very nice! I like the use of the highway walls to seperate the houses from the bussinesses

[simlink 1,098]

I really like the mix of polished and not-so-polished suburbs, it looks very realistic.

Mind sharing what the condo building is at the bottom of the 4th last picture? Looks really goos.

[hamsterTK 93]

Another awesome update.

I like how you got creative with the airport terminal pieces on that hospital and your rendition of the high school with its very realistic parking lol. That's something that always bugged me about the default schools. I find working with parking in the game to be very tedious, I hope maybe in SC5 you could zone parking lots or something and they could be random shapes and sizes. Maybe in real life I am against sprawl but in Simcity I absolutely love realism and torturing my sims with suburban wastelands

Very nice development!

[fatschmo 6]

wow dude u rally know how to build americuh style

[StegSC 40]

I love your work. Casa Grande was also one of my favorite CJs a long time ago, I used a lot of things from it to design desert regions. Your ability has evolved so much, this is some of the best work I've seen.

Your condo developments look really good, everything is nicely spaced out.

[steelersfanforlife 43]

This is an absolutely beautiful CJ. I will continue to look for future updates

[MTLT_17 27]

Have another region map? That last one was awesome!

[Benedict 3,119]

Big box, high rise, industry, high school... this update pretty much had it all - nice!

[champloo08 16]

More great updates I was wondering do you have any plans for a regional mall with surrounding office buildings? (Suburban sprawl fetish) lol
