THE JADE BIGHT II

WILHELMSHAVEN WEST:

(Click to make bigger.)

Yo, guys --

Just a few quick "snaps".  Most of my time has been spent with doctors (yuck!) -- and my game time has been monopolized by trying to dream up a layout for the east edge of my city.  I think I've plopped enough trees to re-forest the world! (lol)

Here we have a view of the North Business District.  Small, and compact, it is nestled in the valley between the Rheinen Heights to the north and Viktoria Heights and the main commercial district to the south.  (I've included some night shots.  I forgot that a lot of you folks like them.)

 

This is Winterton Circle and Memorial Park on the east side of the district.

 

On the west side of the district you have The Double Tree Hotel, Lever Building, and the Television Studio.

 

A couple of night shots of places we've already seen -- Dao Chemicals and the Von Sachsen Plaza by night.

Upgrading Bellingham!

I just had to comment on the Bellingham map, its the best realistic re-creation of an actual location I've yet seen on this site.  Also, Bellingham is part of my local area so its very familiar.      

[Haljackey 17,398]

Today worked on re-configuring an interchange. Had some problems but I got through it!

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

I really like how you incorporated FA and diagonals to turn that compact little trumpet into a sweeping, irregular T-interchange @Haljackey.

Made some more detailing work on the Costco. Like some of my recent work, I've been leaving a bunch of shopping carts strewn about the parking lot since some sims simply couldn't make the effort to push them into the cart return. I expanded the original by providing an actual food court section by utilizing on one of those Maxis commercial facade props. There's even a bunch of sims lining up as well. Gotta get those large pizzas and $1.50 hot dogs with soft drinks! The gas section is a little barren but I have some texture work in the pipeline for that. Alignment is probably the most difficult part of that section.

[MissVanleider 1,851]

@kingofsimcity it looks really really good. I would love to learn how to combine those overlay textures the way you have but i struggle to get the lines to make sense  my favourite here is the main 'road' with the diagonal curve in the middle of the lot

[kschmidt 6,223]

EUROPA ANNO Industrials !

Last CJ there was a reply about all those maxis industries, rightly displayed. As answered anything else wooden fit, maybe some yewels left. This afthernoon I added and searched for this hidden assets, some allmost hidden others present other unfindable. Blue tiles mean the terrain isn´t that flat but that isn´t of importance for now !

Shown are the GAZ Tyres Company, DEDW Farmasuticals, Acme Toxic and storage, FG Warehouses, Koln Cable works, Dairy Factory and a lot more...

Maxis heavy industrial poluting looks like this !

Manufactering industries !

GAZ Tyres, Koln Cable, Acme Cold Storage,

Dairy Factory, Sovereign, Logistics,..

Acme Toxic Industries, DEWD Pharmasuticals, Pepsi and Coca cola, FG Warehouses

Large Mall hidden somewhere..

Liked to show you the Megaton old and new car factory but for some reason untracable, maybe someone knows more about it !

Europa ANNO as shown do have some customizable industrial life, these might be used or pop up in a other regional map !

Hope you like this update !

Still working on this... (I'm going to spend a lot of time on it, I know it...). I decided to add a wealthy neighbourhood on the top of the town, connected to the centre with a funicular. I also thought a bit about the station surroundings.

Ploppsville CBD before simulation turns on:

[olegario39 52]

Here's my city called Riverlake City, because the city is literally built near a lake that looks like a river.

Not finished with the entire thing yet, as you can see there are unbuilt areas. And I can't show the lake yet because I can't find any lake resort packs or something

Those farms showed up quit quickly probably grow them first,and zoning the city  aftherwards ? City growable development takes up quit fast, agricultural cap normaly reached very soon afher starting the simulation Mix of downtown highrise buildings is awesome, real pleasure to watch grow; considered to run a asia like city, like Hongkong or any other for a change, well done !

Very nice downtown detailed parks ! Diagonal fillers might take away the staircase like shape, well done !

This plateau is made of several separate models which will be rendered individually.
It still needs a lot of work (windows, doors, roof junk, more girders and separators and the textures are not final.
The radial rail assembly is there for reference only (center point) I did a test drive on HD rendering time on the building alone...4 and a half hours! And that is unfinished!

@Simmer2 I can't wait to see the final result. It already looks impressive so far

Correct. I developed the west side of the river first so farms could grow. Then I made ploppsville.

Here's the city with the simulator turned on, infill development now grown.

 

...And a neat shot of the incline towards the RHW bridge. Train passing overhead with fireworks? Sure why not.

 

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

Another variant joins the fray. Not too fond of the textures but everything WIP is subject to change.

[PaleoCardio 150]

@kingofsimcity That gas station is now looking more action packed. I love the outdoor seating area with the umbrellas and the whole lot itself is great! Well done.

[Simmer2 23,831]

@kingofsimcity Now that's more like it!!

[Fantozzi 4,068]

Started working on my Paeng/Diggis unification project. Very early state - but if things go well it will make a fine addition to the Big Paeng Theory.

[Fantozzi 4,068]

Isn't it wonderfull? Thanks to @rsc204 I got my farms working. And now the Merlot is growing everywhere.

 

Will take some years but then my Sims can raise their glas to rsc204. Skøl!

 

(Skøl - this was said by vikings- and still by Norwegians - to toast when they clinked glasses. On the other hand ... I think the word has the same origin as the english word 'skull'. So I'm not shure if they really used glasses to clink. And maybe they even hadn't merlot in their drinking vessels. So maybe this was out of place now)

Plopable farms, great choice, more labour intensive as growable but at least a last resort if there´s no demand for argriculture at all,, well done !

I think the point of the post is that Fantozzi managed to make growable farms with those props, which will be an astounding addition to rural play if they are published!

[Simmer2 23,831]

Well, well....It works!
Only thing left to do is a nice custom made lot and lot texture a la' Simmer2 and we are good to go.

Vester's multi-angled GEvo locos fit just perfectly with my model! Bravo vester &apls

Growing Merlot everywhere, but this doesn´t say there grwable agriculture lots or SPAM ready !

[_Michael 2,681]

Really got back into SC4 in the past week after a break lasting well over a month.

Still working the same massive city. Gonna be a massive job to get it presentable for a CJ entry, but its coming along nicely.

In this case, they are growable, which is clear if you've read the development thread. As for SPAM ready, I'm not sure anyone brought that up, although it would be nice *hint*

SPAM? Please not here. But I like to hear your opinions about my plans. So I opened a development thread here.

Just Trying to make a nice little town in my region and semi realistic little town, Called Piytan Lake

Would love some feedback and let me know how i can improve! 

 

Main Road and a small neighborhood 

 

Another neighborhood just north of the last one.

 

High Wealth neighborhood, just started on it

 

And the view of the whole town, has farms south of the town.

[kschmidt 6,223]

EQUAL TOWN !    Experiment with growable BAT´s only first !

Let me introduce a equal divided city. Poor part of town has no vegitation, Rich has lush all around §

Zoning on both sides is equal. A chess board patern is used for the different zone types high density middle, low outside !

Poor side stalling !

Rich side blooming !

Movies all arround !

 

 

 

 

We now go to Yama speed !

Estates well developing !

Overal development is lacking. Abscence of landmarks ? All basic needs ar met. What else wanted ?

Next time we add industries to the equaisian add the rewards and go beyond mediocre education !

To be continued !

Very nice town ! GUI maybe hidden with minimize button remover and the U-drive button thrid on the menu turned off makes it more beautifull, well done !

THE JADE BIGHT II

WILHELMSHAVEN WEST:

(Click to make bigger.)

Yo, guys --

Well -- I put some serious thought to the comments from "RandyE" .  It took me more than a week to finish the scheme, and this is just the largest part of it.

Here we have the Great Heron Slough.  "Slough" may well be a term particular to the US (never seen it used on European maps) -- so, basically -- it is a water feature that is a cross between a swamp, a marsh, and a lake.  Generally slow moving, fed by run off and small springs, and shallow.  The slough is located at the head of the eastern rail corridor business district.  This area has undergone joint development by the city and the owners of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to allow public access to a restored and maintained wildlife area.  No power boats that would create noise and pollution.

 

Here we have the Gardos Tower, a repaired and restored ruin -- a small pier for kayakers -- and a small pavilion with a beautiful overlook.

 

Some landscape detail --

 

This is an "NBVC" pier that I modified for use --

 

And finally --a couple of groups of Herons doing their best to avoid the intrusive kayakers.
