Show us What you're Working On

I made one last year, but I felt like I should make a new one this year.

 

[jmsepe 2,039]

See you all tonight. Just another work in progress.

 

[bmag_20 61]

I've been working on this region for a while now. Concept is a small/medium-sized port city, with inspiration from North Eastern Canada/USA & the ports along the Great Lakes... Lots of gaps still to fill out, but it's slowly starting to look like something!

 

[Hotwheeler 409]

jmsepe,wow,great looking place with amazing nightlights.Just had to take a look into your RP...man,too much awesomeness to handle for me right now.

 

bmag,Very well done patchwork.I love how you managed to use the terrain close to the waterfront without alternating the waterfront line too much.You know,cutting away headland/peninsulas just to straighten the waterfront.

Would love to have a closer look at the area where 3 to 4 bridges are stretching from one side of the river to another.

A couple of office parks.

 

Muriel office park.

 

Drummond high tech sector and office park. Drummond is home to the majority of the high tech businesses on Sugar Island and many of the head offices are located in the Drummond office park.

 

For my new years resolution I want to stop procrastinating and familiarize myself more with the NAM...

 

So I created a region used to test the components of the Network Addition Mod. I will use this region to familiar myself more with the network widening mod and the real highway mod.

[TPB 563]

After weeks of installing mods, testing settings, hundreds of CTDs and all sorts of fun, I finally got started on my first major metropolis.

 

I present to you Boca del Cielo. 

 

Got most of the layout finished, except for road and street network in the center of the map, which will be downtown commercial and parks mostly. Transport is mostly all taken care of except subway and bus stops. Piping is done, need to take care of power though.

 

Then I'll be ready to zone some and start seeings it grow... can't wait!!!

 

Anyway, let me explain what's what I guess...

 

Complete View:

 

Top left corner is the suburbs, lower-middle class ghettoish etc.

 

At the far right and center, in the inside of the river bend, is the high class residential neighborhood.

 

Running from there all the way left (north i think) is one of the two main railway lines. This serves as a division between the industrial sector and the main city, and the band of land on either side will be buffered with trees, lakes and parks.

 

Down from this line (west, bottom of image) is the industrial complex, which features no less than three freight stations, a small freight yard and a complex system of tunnels and avenues, connected by roundabouts which will hopefully keep my sims in employment heaven. Still need to make highway ramps in this area.

 

The whole central area around the main highway junction will be the downtown commercial district as mentioned above.

Please any comments, suggestions, criticism and whatnot is welcome and greatly appreciated! Cheers!

 

 

Update:   Industrial area highway ramps added, and some streets..

I'm attempting to make a "Gridless" region

 

 

[henrys1996 127]

A few workings up my sleeve in my main city, Redmund (population 1,424,000).

 

Industrial Parkway, a spur from Highway 40 (therefore officially designated as Highway 540) - a short 1-mile controlled-access highway running through the industrial area, complete with a rail overpass and avenue half-diamond interchange.

 

H-540 Exit List:

Exit 1A: Highway 40, to Auburn and Downtown Redmund

Exit 1B: N Glades Blvd. (southbound entrance/northbound exit)

Exit 2: N Atlantic Dr.

 

A bridge approach across the Redmund River for Highway 40, the main regional highway running through Redmund:

 

An extension of Highway 40 leading east out of Redmund into Auburn:

 

Finishing downtown to the south:

May I ask what region are you using? Looks nice... Cool job with the ring highway! 

[Kinderly 191]

It's the Sault Ste Marie map by drunkapple

 

 

Thank you!

Great work! How did you do the FAR bridge?

[De Ja Vu 117]

@SimCoug: look closer. The part where the FAR/Diagonal runs through is built on land.

 

Here is my newest region:

 

 

 

I'm planing to make a CJ out of this. Been busy with some other stuff, but as soon as that clears up I'm gona start that CJ

Oh my god, this is amazing!! I can spot Central do Brasil, Praça Paris, Aterro do Flamengo, Cosme Velho neighborhood and several other things! Fantastic, keep up the good work.

Wow thanks! haha

From those things you said i only really did Central do Brasil, the rest is a coincidence  hahaha

I took off Aterro do Flamengo and Santos Dumont Airport, because i started the region in 1565.

[Dazzyls 576]

All great stuff! This is really one of the best gaming forums I ever saw! With great members!

Keep up the good work you all!

 Something I'm working on.

 

Very nice, care sharing which software  you use to record those?

[tonyr 926]

Awesome Fatjuice! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! More to come

I'm using Fraps, which I have purchased, thus I can record more than 30 sec

[SimEMS38 246]

Here's a big milestone for me. Playing since the day SC4 came out and for once I have a completely developed region!!! 7x7 large city map and currently over 1.6 million acres of farmland! In the middle and in the NW corner you see undeveloped land that will become two of the main population centers. I've been working on this map for about 3 months now and I'm now only getting to the city building part of it all!

 

 

 

[Ke|is 3,337]

I think everybody can recognize what is going to be...very slow progress but I think I am getting a very accurate recreation, especially with the terrain and shores...

Bring back Kai Tak!

 

Looking pretty nice! Can't wait to see the progress on this!

[Roger51 381]

Looks awesome Kelistmac!!    

 

 

Here is what I have been ever so slowly working on....

 

[Chesh 173]

[SimEMS38 246]

Starting to lay down some landmarks for the centerpiece of my region named Lancaster after my hometown. Sort of an alternate history theme I'm going with it and I think it'll turn out pretty well! I have another region and city with the same name but it experienced some technical difficulties so to the back burner it went.

Most of the farmland you see will eventually disappear from this map as well as the neighboring maps but the regional as a whole will be heavily agriculture.

 

[airman15 4,113]

Little trick using the WMP allotment set as a buffer zone and fence system for highways. I might be using this more on straight sections of the highways.

 

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Definite WIP. I think it's taking shape nicely.

 

[Infrastructurist 434]

New city, new core to be planned
