Show us your Hillside!

[Moskva 75]

I was surprised no one else had started this thread yet. So here's my little contribute to the community: The suburb of Mir.

If you care posting some of yours i've many as well in my region to show, i like building on the hills!

[Dizastrow 4]

I cant figure out how to post a pic.

Perhaps i can help:

1. Upload on Imageshack or similar sites.

2. Copy the "Direct link" (like it's called on Imageschak) then paste it after you've clicked the photo sign (the tree on blue background under the smile icon).

Don't mean to show off or anything

Omg that is awesome combination of mods/lots. Could you tell me what street mod and housing mod did you use there?

Alright.... I'll breakdown the entire picture

@the upper right-that is the modern japonese elementary school by E-N(A.K.A. Bripizza)Link: http://www.bripizza.net/sc4/

Thanks man i appreciate your help. I am a bit stupid, my city already looks like a weird mix of european american styles but it is not enough for me i am gonna add japanese one! By the way, i wanna see more hillsides, i am not the only one to build on the hill or am i?

[jacksunny 741]

I agree, that is a very nice picture!

[m1n3rs1m 4]

I've been working on the Lower mainland of my City "Delford" There will be a Costal Mountain Area, Downtown, Agurcultural area and even a ski resort! I am basing the idea and landscape for Vancouver, BC, Canada! I hope you all enjoy. This wil be a large project, I hope to share the outcome with you all!

I hope tractors will not fall due inclination, however sometimes i cover hills with fields too.

Here's another small contribute to the community: The suburb of Midget Park, located in Mihajinsk, southeast of Lenin'sk.

[Kruemel95 27]

This hill has gone through some transformation.

[lowbart 2]

Kruemel, that looks pretty nice! (Except for the abandonment of course). I don't think I'd want to try to navigate around without a GPS, though

A lot of the other hillsides in this thread just don't look very... hilly. Here's some of mine from a couple of older regions:

Midtown of Albatross City.

North shore of Cannoli City.

The cliffs of Dabblingport that separate the industrial port from the downtown.

Condos in the hills west of downtown Bumsgrove.

The smooth curves in the roads really help make this picture unique! Great job.

[sanyok 2]

Hi everybody!

I also like to use hilly relief in my cities and towns. I adore curved and a litle bit caotic roads which repeat hill's shapes. This everithing can be found in my native town.

Two hilly peninsulas divided by the bay.

Residential and industrial zones on the steep slopes

This area is still under construction. I adore high-rising houses nested on the steep slopes, may be because I live in such area.

[Ion_Cannon 677]

A hillside on the outer edges of some suburbs in Eddington, can't get the railway to look 100% right though.

[masochist 111]

There are some really good photos on here! Sanyok, yours looks incredibly ambitious, and Ion_Cannon, your suburban hillside is coming along quite nicely--I love the train that swerves around it, because it reminds me of one here in my hometown that curves around a housing development. Very nice!

I have a few pictures to share of my own. These are all old, so you may have seen them all already, and for that I apologize:

A commercial area on a hillside. This one's an older one, before RHW really began coming into its own and way before soft-curved roads (showing my age ).

Most of everything else I've ever built on hills have been suburbs:

Click through on this one to see a huge horizontal mosaic:

...Then, I have a couple with a nice little blurring effect to try and show depth:

...I hope you enjoyed these!

[The Avatar 1,089]

@masochist: Well, that first pic is, um... as you said, "an older one," () but those others are really great! Those suburbs are beautiful with the mix of houses and seasonal trees.

[mattb325 28,891]

Very nice Masochist!

Here is a bunch of stuff I am working on with custom foundations to enable more enjoyable hillside suburb creation:

[AIX 270]

Here is one, fresh off the CJ presses!

[Moskva 75]

Nice stuff everyone! I am glad this thread has not been throw in the basket case! Here's my contribution.

This is Nova Perm', a strong industrial town born to supply near towns with jobs. Here's south and north parts of the city. The city is cut my the freeway/avenue driving towards west. The bridge and the near mountain made it impossible for the avenue to stay on a lower level, so the city had to develop on slopes literally.

These are Jertsky (lower) and Gagarin (upper), both suburbs evolved after Nova Perm' and are integrant part of it.

Here's a Island called the Takaishi Islands it contains three cities; Akiba, Issu, and Miatomi:

( Yes, that said Inyuasha Bridge )

Here's another Island in the same region, Natu Island:

So yeah i was right in the other thread, you're making some Hong Kong based megalopolis there, right?

[skylerracer23 71]

that was my intent but i made a mistake when building that section of the city. My intent was to flow with the land but instead I accidentally cut in to the mountain some. Akiba City's main intent was to look like a smaller Hong kong, the only reason I didnt expand it into the hills was because it was too steep (also due to the slope mod as well) and ruin the entire look of the Island.

Good job!

Well... you can take down the whole hill of some meters or... i don't know. Perhaps you made too high hills or the slope is just too difficuilt to cross.

@Masochist

How did u get that landscape so green? it's not that green at mine.. i know it's a mod.. but where can i get it?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Old thread reactivate go!



The morning fog rolls in from the bay to the hills, as grumpy commuters drive to their jobs, and possibly grabbing their coffee fix on the way.

EDIT: 3 reputation likes? Aw shucks you guys   
It's also one of my first photoedits...

Where do you get the add on for those smooth city retaining walls? I could do with that.

/throws links at you/

https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1504 - These are the walls themselves.

https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1519 - This is an addon for the walls.

- And here is the dependency. Ignore what it says about only being able to use one type of wall; install all the files to your plugin folder and the first link I provided will allow you to use all.

And yes, you certainly could do with these. Retaining walls on a city (especially if you aren't doing rural hillsides) are a must, plus they look great! Happy city-building.

[GMT 389]

some are really cool, but most of them work to hard against the terrain imho.

 

btw, matt, that's awesome work on these lots, love the custom foundation idea
