More pedmall areas with a mix of res and com.

That´s a lot of Pedmall, maybe a bit to much ! Subway doing fine, yet freight delivery only before 8 AM or afther 10 PM !

Canadian and Ontario Forest Research Institutes.

Heritage Meadows Residential Area. One of the more dense areas of the city the first apartments built in this area were the three mid-rise brown ones are called Heritage Place.

I am working on a Interchange widening project

Original configuration was overused

Exit ramps widened to two lanes

New dedicated eastbound exit lane

Mainline widening (in progress)

 

Further down the road

Continuing with the models construction.....still a lot to do therefore WIP alert!
I placed a man in the render to have a reference of the massive size of this model. There will be a huge bucket elevator mechanical assembly on the top of the superstructure.
Also several miles of piping to go with it and more detailed texturing.

Working on starting a few Transit-switch type buildings for downtown areas.

So often you see buildings integrated and constructed over transport networks, but it's still somewhat lacking in SC4. After the plaza and trying to replicate a real-world icon, this is a completely made up building and was a bit of a simple breather after doing the plaza:

 

It works as a rail/subway/parking and bus station.

Also, the two towers above the station provide about 2000 jobs, just like plopping any commercial building of a similar size (but the jobs provided by this station won't affect demand caps like plopped commercials do).

No nite lites yet as it is still in its early stage.

I plan adapt the concept to include elevated networks to switch into rail/subway etc. But I will bat a new station for this.

general question ... but is it just me or are 4 tile stations too short? I really like that long japanese station that is 8 tiles long. And its a really unique idea @mattb325, sorta like Penn Station in New York (where MSG and a couple other buildings sit atop).

I think the same, but it would depend on the city you are simulating.

To give an example, here in Santiago and Valparaíso the Alstom Xtrapolis commuter trains have 24 metres long cars and operate in formations of 2 and 4 cars, what is to say, with lengths of ~50 and ~100 metres. A 4-tile long station platform would suffice for a 2 car formation, but they are only used on weekends; a 6-tile platform would be more adequate, even if it's length would be on limits for that longer formation.

On the other hand, longer platforms become increasingly hard to accommodate in city centres, so there is needed to strike a balance between both needs. Maybe a better option would be to include platform lots to extend them in open air when the main building becomes insufficient (as it is normally done in most rail stations).

Yo, guy --

Did you ever release that fuel depot (trucks, fuel points, etc) scenario you were working on? 

I got the energy and wind turbine facilities.

As I remember @Simmer2has a quite long list with WIP Projects. I'm still waiting for the metro/tube/underground onsurface service/garage lot/props, but than there are the new awesome containers, the oil depot, the... god knows what else!!!

Elevated Network Terminus please!  We have a lack of those. I only found for shinkasen or El-rail terminuses on japanese sites and all have baked in textures, so you can't really use them for other networks., but not for Elevatid heavy Rail, or RRW. Anyway the above showed pictures quite convincing, beautiful towers and the tunel part can be used for OWR, Roads, GLR or RHW, as I see, so it's quite multifunctional  I love the idea.

Thanks for making these nice stuffs!

@Dreadnought Like @Tyberius06 said. I got many projects on the go. Remember, besides the lots, I'm creating all the props and textures too. Some props collections are already done and I just have to have the time to put it all together. Some of those projects will be modular in design therefore it takes longer to achieve.

Old Habsburg - Vienna VI

Vienna, city of old music master´s ! Radiating from the central ring, looking for suitable buildings, venue´s and europe´s w2w trademark old city style quarters´s ! Austria Parlement didn´t fit so tried to give  the feel of size with the San Francisco Cityhall a bit !

Rearranged this part to have a more realistic view !

Gugeheim always handy if looking for Art museums, as well the Gallery for Natural Histrory to show of the Nature Historisch and Kunst Historisch museum !

Some W2W of the lots of quarters in the second ring in front of the Wien Westbahnhof !

Most Vienna railway stations modernized at front today, still old style 60´st galore !

Enjoy !

The diagonal in Brough (like Prague with a 'B') seems to be working well moving sims in and out of the CBD.  Next comes the tram...

That's gonna be a splendid Old World city ! Although I don't quite get what you did with the res. in the railway station (last picture)

[Simmer2 23,831]

Thank you everyone!!

I added a few things and its coming along nicely. Again it is still in WIP stages. The most complex part will be on top of the concrete silo set. The bucket elevator and sorting bin with its many pipes going in to every direction just like an octopus
Here is a real life sample. The part I'm talking about is the metal nest on the top!

Here is my progress.

This just keeps getting better, you almost flew right over me!   From the overview its looking very much like the Greater Vancouver Regional District.   They must have had SimCity 4 in mind when they built this town.

[tariely 4,499]

Back to my old new  tricks. Relotting some good old favourites of mine : The Curling Club (who did this one ? I can't find it...) and HBS Bowling Alley, now Bowling Alley, both as semi- Parks, of course  (the Tournaments were just over in both)

.

(I thought the building was lit by night, but apparently it is not. Bummer.)

And the Bowling Alley Park :

There´re modular three parts joined to a 12 track station, above is a subway entrance building and to be build tram loop station ?

[Darrius11able 728]

Working on suburban highway exits:

[nycsc4 5,250]

With a population of about 76,000 in a city tile that is roughly 85% water and forests with no development, things are beginning to get a little cramped.  At the center of this part of the city is Granville Street which is one of Vancouver's grandest and busiest roads.  It carries BC99 and runs for about 14 miles from Richmond (near YVR) to Stanley Park where it becomes a freeway and runs across the Lions Gate Bridge.

Near the north end of Granville Street in Coal Harbour is the intersection of several subway, light rail and bus lines.  There are subway lines under both Granville (North/South) and Pender Street (East/West).  Both streets run LRT and bus lines as well.  The intersection of the two can be seen here.

A train at the southbound platform of the Pender/Alberni station on the Granville LRT line.

New bus station and roundabout at the Pender/Alberni station.

Added some markets in the open median at Alberni Plaza.

 

Also, new Stanley Park is finished!

There are about 50,000 people in this area.

Thanks!

A bit more progress with the Grain Elevator. Still Work In Progress.

Whats to say this can't just be a skyscraper with a train under it

If you click on this and scroll down you'll see the station he's using.  He's just got three placed right next to each other.

[tariely 4,499]

Ah. Yes. I remember that one, now. I thought it looked weird, at the time ; so three of them side by side is weird³ for me...

[tariely 4,499]

Meanwhile, I am still relotting. Mayor's houses and mansions :

SmallTown Mayor 1:

    

 

Country Mayor :

   

The two last one are an hommage to Nexis, whose lots were some of thevery  first custom content I used way back then. I thought I would give those two some TLC (hope you don't mind, Fred, if you see this).

Bigger City Mayor :

      

And last but not least The Big City Mayor's Mansion (there's a pool party) :
