i'm caught between whether i should continue to do the rest of the new york city regions (outer boroughs), which for non-new yorkers, may not be all that interesting... or whether i should do the real-scale manhattan region that i've started a thread for (

I'd really love to see the whole New York City region with all the outer boroughs Even for non-New Yorkers, (like me, I'm from the Netherlands), it would be interesting if you recreate the whole region, at least that's what I think. Have you downloaded the accurate scale New York City map from the MEX already??

This city kicks ass!!

I'd like to see the hooole NYU region  and i'm not a new yorker =)

 

i just like to see that brought to sc4 ... =)

You're doing an awesome job on this city dc82. It looks very accurate for using the tools on sc4 you did a very nice job working with everything and I look foward to your updates sometime in the near future and I also look foward to seeing more from your Manhattan map and good luck on that one as well.

[JERRY367 2]

Your city looks great!!!!!, lots of detail very impressive.

Great job on making NYC. expecially with the amount of accuracy and resemblance to the real thing. Totally unrelated, I think Calahine Communications looks a lot like 1 Financial Square (Is this the correct name? I don't remember.) in NYC... Does anyone else see it?

Very nice, you are one dedicated city builder.......thats for sure.  Keep it up https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/1.gif>

but yeah it started out low density. i think the biggest prob. was commute time. i had to use the mod to get people to be able to go all the way downtown to work. so then my commercial demand rose.

Hi, DC,
I've been following your region for a while now, and I think it looks great! Was wondering what mod you are referring to in this post (it was made four months ago, I know).
Thanks

Hey dc82,

Any chance you would be willing to share your NY or have you posted it somewhere that it's already available? I dunno if that's like asking you for your first child or something, so if the answer's no, it's all good. If you get a chance gimme a shout: scott@bondsc.com.

My God  I'm in awe, this city has moved me. I think you deserve extreme recognition dc82. What a perfect city. You should definitely be nominated for the 2004 golden Llama Awards for an outstanding beautiful city. I'm a New Yorker myself and when I see it, it motivates me and I'm sure others to create their own city journals. You are one of  the reasons why I started Palm City II. Excellent. 1000000/10!!!!

I love the accuracy of your city and its so beautiful i nearly crapped myself.
I notice in one of the districts in Manhattan there were only 230,000 sims. howmany live there because in the real world there are 8,000,000 in the city center area, and over 17,000,000 in the metropolitan area! Now since you have the realism in apperance you gotta 8,000,000 (if you don't have them of course). However you don't have to do it if you don't want too of course im just sayin'. Either than that YOUR DOING AN ASTRONOMICAL JOB!!!

[Superstar 69]

Is this city made out of a couple of citys or one huge one? 

[dc82 1]

what you see is one region comprised of many cities - eg. midtown, downtown, flushing, bayonne, great neck, uptown.

[Duke87 1,070]

There is someone else trying to start a NYC region now. it will, of course. Never be as good as yours. You have my vote for a Trixie next time around!

Good job with the New York City simulation... it's good to hear from a fellow Stern student (I'm a Stern MBA grad from 2000).

Let me know if I could be of any help to you. (You are welcome to use my sites as resources!)

Hey very nice job!!!
So much so it inspired me to do my first post.

I'm a west coaster now, transplanted from the NYC area...its refreshing to see that the simulator also congests up all over Midtown...

Great job!!
I'd be interested in seeing the subway volume map with it's various lines.

And Union Square is great, it was my stop when I lived there.
When you do Jersey make sure you throw the PATH trains in.

Peace.

with so much other new york city regions being done, i was inspired to go back to my old new york city region and do some more work on it.  in the meantime, here's some shots of the city:

nice job dude.

[Edman_123 11]

I have to agree, this is a fairly accurate city. I've been to New York City fairly recently, and this follows it pretty well. Surprisingly, the real city is pretty safe.

[Smurfer2 7]

Yeah, my favorite city will continue. Thank you DC82. I'll continue to watch this closely.

[turnipteeth 0]

Hey, that city is pretty awesome. Keep up the good work.

[CrossBronxExpressway 0]

just for the record....New York City's city center, which would be the borough of Manhattan, only has approximately 1.5 million residents. It is all 5 boroughs of New York City as a whole--The Bronx (1.5 million), Brooklyn (2.5 million), Queens (2.2 million), Manhattan (1.7 million) and Staten Island (500,000)--that has a little over 8 million, and the metropolitan area proper hovers just over 21 million.

I think it's about time that we all should dispel the theory of New York City only being comprised of Manhattan.

Sorry in my original post, I mistyped Manhattan's population to be 1.5 million, then later in the post I restate the population to be 1.7 million when it should have been 1.7 million throughout the post.

great job keep it up

[clownboy 0]

GOOD JOB! Whats your population? Also you should complete the outer cities.. Keep us updated, and can you make this downloadable?

[dc82 1]

here's some shots to compare it to

 

[Smurfer2 7]

That's fairly close. I'm speechless.

[simwario 95]

Never been to New York, but according to the pictures, the layout

of the city looks very realistic. Good Job

[dc82 1]

here's a even larger view of manhattan (now including midtown - somehow the screenshot i took didn't save earlier).  enjoy!!

 

[dc82 1]

after months of trying to figure out y the bat buildings weren't lighting up at night, i finally got it to work - i tried patching it before, but it didn't work until now. 

anyways... here's some great nightime pics of downtown manhattan, which i'm using as my wallpaper...

 

 

 

 

[Smurfer2 7]

 Thanks for the downtown/midtown shot. The World Trade Center looks great lit up.
