You know, I've never actually seen anything like this in SC4. At least not on this scale. I'm very very impressed.

[samima 92]

Really nice.

[Kevenbro 94]

Bro, that's really good.

[Markus J 242]

That's crazy big! Wow! If rain/flooding happened in Simcity4 you would be prepared that is for sure.

Here is mine, Los Angeles (Dry) River.

It's kinda sad, in real life this used to be a free flooding river all the time. but as civilization sucked it dry, it just never returned to normal, and paving large sections of it in concrete made it worse.

@MarkusJ: That photo is stunning - I really like the dark atmosphere and powerlines.

Paeng, I thought you're an urban legend. I know of your works, but never seen you as a poster (lol)

Also, that looks great, realistic too.

This is quite a unique topic. My congratulations for your originality. Your flood control measures are very good-looking and functional.

This here is a modest example--an earthen dike surrounds the town of Río Cristal, which sits in the floodplain of a river--it's not so visible but it's there:

Johnson's Ridge Spillway North Gate

I'm sorry to hear that Born and raised in Alexandria 23 years That pic looks kind of like an empty Achafalaya Spillway. Just need some cypress in there and you're all set!

[Joe 90 358]

I did this 5-odd years ago. Its the same kind of diversion channel deal as triggs', but without all the concrete.

Which ones?

[B.C builder 291]

Those from pics 4 and 5

[Megaopolisbuilder54 7]

Very nice pictures you guys.

[triggs85 9]

Its made up of Repurposed lots

This is what I used as the Wall/Gate at the Top of the structure

October Bridge

For Gates themselves as well as the numerous sea walls I used these:

DEDWD highway walls

In the highway walls pack there are overhanging lots that along with some ground work can blend together

Finally for the embankment i used the Marrast Embankment Set

Other than that its just a matter of playing with the ground elevation and contour until you achieve the look your going for.

[B.C builder 291]

Thanks anyway, Triggs85 !

[triggs85 9]

NP, just have to be creative sometimes to get what your looking for

Just a typical retention area for runoff. Even though its not functional I'd like to think it combats all the runoff from the nearby parking lots .
