@Fatjuice The Humboldt region is fantastically massive! I toyed around with it last year but it brought my old laptop to it's knees! When I get enough spare fluff to get a new laptop I'll definitely be revisiting it.

Your port is looking great from afar.

[cmdp123789 710]

That port looks good. It would be nice to see the city compared to the port.

[Fatjuice 253]

Whoa whoa whoa, people. The city is made quickly - it ain't pretty (although no port city is pretty). I built it just for the kicks, not for the looks

Well, I too play on a laptop, but end of the month, I'm getting a dekstop - powerful one, just for SC4

I was working on educating the masses

Think I'll need a looooong break from parking lots after this...

Testing fitting into small areas. The bigger question is: why is there a random stop sign in the middle of an avenue junction?

Some large scale testing with realistic stadium parking. Coming soon to an already cluttered menu...with a new friend.

Brilliant!!  
I think I'm falling in love with SC4 parking lots 

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the new standard in SC4 parking.

[TakemeThere 5,834]

I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see if for my own eyes, that even parking lots could be made to be 'epic'.

[tigerbuilder 131]

The parking looks fantastic! Thanks for putting all the work you did into them.

And yes, that is funny seeing that stop sign there.

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Alexandria is growing. Don't know what else to say about it. Enjoy. I guess.

[Dreadnought 8,231]

Got the basic stuff in place --

Making the transition from the ship canal over to the south mole of Emden's harbor.

First post here, longtime member and player.  This is just a little snapshot of a CBD that is very much a work in progress.  The city is a peninsula with a long beach.  Hope to submit a CJ when i'm finally done!  In there I'll give a proper thank you to all of the SC4 community for the amazing mods and BAT's.  Need to figure out how to fix the CLC parks (which are awesome) from changing textures when I zoom.  Open to suggestions for buildings to place (or replace).  

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

Congrats on no longer being a lurker :P! That's a pretty nice and imposing CBD, though I'm not the biggest fan of the Maxis-esque paved areas; makes it look too clean, IMO (unless that was the look you were trying to achieve, then disregard this :P). Perhaps spruce up the spaces in-between with some more greenery?

That looks like a texture z-fighting issue, which usually indicates that there are two base textures on the same tile, or an adjacent base texture that's out-of-bounds (which ends up as a "ghost" texture). Your best option is to open the problem lot in the lot editor, delete all the base textures on the lot, and then reapply them. If that doesn't work, then you'll need to manually edit the lot exemplar file to get rid of the "ghost" texture. You can do this with Reader, though it's easier using PIM-X, since it decodes the specs for the particular property. In PIM-X, when you're viewing the lot exemplar, select a LotConfigPropertyLotObject property that begins with Type: Texture. Look for any one with an X/Y coordinate value that's out of bounds relative to the current size of your lot, and delete it.

@scotttbarry: That's a good-looking piece of work there. I really like the feel it has thus far. Overall the few critiques I'd have are that it does feel a little bit white-washed and sanitized, and the greenery could use some more variation...but to each; their own! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out when it's done.

[matias93 7,535]

Dunno, I like the white, in some places, white stones are pretty common, and to pave with it makes a nice (but very reflective) sidewalk. Put your sunglasses on!

[Abrams 1,744]

Here's my latest work:

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

That small town community looks great! Highway bordering it looks pretty cool though.

[IRL87 31]

After a hiatus of around 10 years of not playing SC4, I'm playing out my first big city. I've called it Danbourne, and it is loosely based on Melbourne. I'm currently working on making Flinders Street station (which I still can't seem to get right! ).

So far I've just done the roads and avenues. I've yet to do my rail, tram, highway, monorail etc.

Looks good!I recommend getting a terrain mod,a water mod,and enabling some usefull nam options like disable arrows on one way roads.

[Abrams 1,744]

I have expanded my little coastal town.

I'll call it mmp bay.

[IRL87 31]

Abrams124, your town looks lovely. What's the bluey-green tall building?

Here's a bit of an update from me. I've completed my circle line for my tram network, and placed a few buildings in the CBD, a highway to the east end. I'm still not able to get Flinders Street station the way I want

I assume the station is this one?

In which case there is an assembly guide in the download, which I've used and is very helpful.

Yeah, I've used the guide, but I can't seem to get the Swanson Street section (the long wall part) the way I want it. It keeps doing the opposite of what I want it to do!

I'm don't really understand the issue. You can just rotate the building but make sure you place it in the middle track, and should form the middle platform.

Indeed, the building rotates itself opposite to the adequate position, you should put the mouse over the right place, avoid touching it, and rotate the building using Home and End keys. Is not easy, and requires a bit of practice, and maybe to demolish sorrounding roads to avoid auto-rotating.

Okay, I'll give that a try.

It worked!

Currently working on a city center park for Emden --

Had to do a bit of custom lotting to get something different.  Now we build a commercial district around it!

 

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

Spiffying up some office parks with expandable parking and MMPs.

[rsc204 21,866]

Whilst we're on the subject of your parking... I've also used the idea of expandable parking, using your great textures for some re-lots of Ill Tonkso's stations:

Highlights include:

• Modded all stations with modern capacity and TSEC settings
• Updated textures and props, including KSOC parking and Girafe's Seasonal flora.
• Custom BR Station sign, you can't read them, but each one has the stations own name.

I'll probably get round to most of the other stations at some point. I'm also planning to include GLR / HSR support for some too.
