@Simmer2 Wow , you are really putting out some great stuff . The Wind Turbine Plant looks fantastic . Thanks for sharing .

@Simmer2 Jimmy's actual fits perfectly in one spot that I was looking for a 10x7 electrical thing with rail access. Out of curiosity is that curve possible with the no ballast rail overlay ?

Excelent, like these in between patches of Midrise stage appartments; succesfull succesion of estate like, often avoiding those large mansion 4x4 estate´s like, at least 6x8 ? Well done !

Yo, guys --

Now, here's something you don't see every day -- The Pactagon Building !!

I never figured out why someone created it, or what they intended as its' purpose -- so I like to think of it as housing the City Planning Office and the Bureau of Traffic Control & Management.

I always liked the idea of a building growing out of the center of a roundabout or across roads, but it always looked a bit plain and a tiny bit foolish sitting out there all by itself.  Since the building has pedestrian walkways connecting to the other side of the roadway, it only made sense to make some additions.  Being surrounded by traffic 24-7 seemed a tad rough, so I added parking lots and plazas to provide some green space and tranquility during lunch and coffee breaks.

TWO VIEWS AND A NIGHT SHOT:

 

DETAIL SHOTS:

I added some parking lot filler pieces, BSC Park Paths (modified), the Paeng pocket plazas (slightly modified), and a mess-o-landscaping MMP work.  To the south of the building, small wooded park spaces were landscaped in to separate the Pactagon grounds from a high density neighborhood.  Again -- trying not to waste too much usable space with empty landscapes.

Indeed it does look that way. I've hidden the post above while we investigate.

He should have at least picked a pic that didnt have a few dead buildings in it.

a view of the downtown development in kensington (not finished).

[Simmer2 23,831]

Hello everyone, lets play a game shall we? Its called "Name that Station" I saw one of @Aarsgevogelte buildings and I though "TRAIN STATION"!!! It is a very nice model and it deserves an up do. Therefore I need the community's help in finding a suitable name for the station shown here. Possibly a Dutch name or some other fancy name.

I will wait a few days and then I will choose the one that fits. I already made the lot, a few brand new HD props and of course a custom base texture. This station will work for both Maxis and RRW rail networks. If you have the NAM it will show RRW and if you do not then you get the vanilla rails.

There will be a second lot made with similar setup but I will make it STR therefore it will be NAM only compatible. Both station will be uploaded at the same time.

Let the games begin!

Here are the updates for west harbour area, any thoughts?

@Simmer2 I really love how you used timed props, as well as the new textures on your windmill plant. Also, that building looks great as a station. Good job!

@kingofsimcity Those fields look fantastic!!

It seems you've already made a good use of those walls. Nice idea you had to use them to demarcate properties

[PICTURES]

 

While you're clearly not finished and the city is visually stunning at the first glance (as could be expected from you!), I actually do have some thoughts to share. Mind you, these are not meant as criticism, they're just some feelings that I had when I took a second (third, fourth) glance at the pictures, and that maybe could be useful to give you some inspiration.

• The waterfront feels a bit undecided to me. There's that lovely old marina and the wide beach promenade, but the actual seawalls look rather utilitarian. The stadium and the sculpture make the area look recreational, but then there's that harbour control tower and the small harbour which looks more industrial. However, it appears way too small for its actual purpose, and I have a hard time imagining how that bulk freighter even reached its destination.
• The highway bridge offers sufficient clearance for tall ships to pass through, but its pillars restrict the already narrow passage even further, and only a few metres upstream there's a low bridge that cannot be passed by ships, and behind that, an amusement park.

All in all, I'm getting mixed signals here and can't help thinking that going for one of the two things (beachfront promenade OR harbour) and doing it full scale might work better.

• Those housing complexes towards the upper left in your first pic might be a tad too squarish and regular, especially since they are so close to each other. Making their shape vary a bit (why not an L-shaped complex?) might make them appear less griddy and blocky.
  Besides, you have a magnificent and luxuroius historical train station there that's entirely surrounded by modern developments, some of which look pretty low-wealth from what I can see.
• The highrises are all pretty much the same height, and while that height looks realistic and credible for the given city size, the uniformity kinda makes the buildings cancel out each other. Some more mid-rise could help the existing buildings 'pop', or you could add one signature building that really stands out if you wish to add some more character to that area.
• The same effect of different buildings canceling each other out also applies to some of the landmarks you used. There's that stadium (Allianz Arena), AND the control tower right in front, AND the statue, AND another huge stadium - the circular one by dmscopio - (that even comes with ANOTHER statue!) only a bit further back, AND the conference center, AND the amusement park, and on top of that hill in the back lurks psander's Millennium Dome or whatever it is called... all that in an area that doesn't have one clear and overarching topic such as "sports and recreation" or "CBD" or "historic city centre" or "harbour district". I think weeding out some of the landmarks and replacing them with RCI might be worth a thought.

This is, of course, just my very personal approach, and there are millions of possibilities. Whatever you decide for this city, the one and only thing I'm sure about is that I would love to see another progress shot!

@Simmer2 : Vogel Station ?

[Simmer2 23,831]

@The British Sausage Great work!! Those country walls look strangely familiar

Btw Rutger Hauer Station sound so Dutchy   I wonder if the actor with the same namesake plays SC4 However it is my pick so far, thank you.

Keep those station names coming please!

New pic showing true transparency on those shelters. (I figure it out how to make it happen!!) Sky is the limit!

I've been relotting (and relighting) a few freight stations, but I am not very familiar with what should or should not be there. May I have some advice from the rail bugs here ?
