Many things to love about that image: the graffitis, the fantastic quality of the props, but over all those, the easiness with which the sidings convert a simple span of parallel tracks on a compact and modular railyard; is fantastic!

Damn, you did all that in 3 years?  I've been working on this for just over 8 years:

Hey to each their own! Some things take time! Looks great!

 

Today I am working on new road and rail networks in a hilly area.

WIP---- Working in parallel, with the sidings. This is part 1 of a modular lot.. Big section still in the making.

Trash anyone?

Guys... to tell you the truth, I've barely worked on SimCity 4 at all.  I really do love the game, and the city I've been working along is great so far.  But right now, I have college to deal with, and I do have other things I work on in my spare time.  I really wish I could have more time to work on my city, but I don't think it's very high on my priority list right now.

I also realize it's been quite a while since I've been on Simtropolis, and since I last posted, my beloved Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl!  When that happened, I lost all self control and ran around the neighborhood screaming with no shoes on.  It was absolutely spectacular.

@nycsc4 Beautiful ! (and yes, I too envy you the sharpness of your pics !)

[tariely 4,498]

I thought I was through with relotting train stations, but one of Simggoober's was giving me trouble, I decided to relot all three main SG beautiful stations :

SG ClockTower :

SG Passenger station :

and SG Simtropolis Train Station :

What beautiful work SG did, and what an amazing output of lots. Where would we be without him ? (or her ? Nah, statistically, mut be a he.)

I also dared relot SM2 RutgerHauer station (shhhh, don't tell him !) :

Thanks and I'm not really sure what I'm doing as far as the sharpness goes lol.  I've never once modified a single setting on this computer as far as graphics go and sometimes my pictures come out a little fuzzy too.  I think it just depends on the size of the screenshot I take.  Taking screenshots on Windows sucks (I'm running Windows on Bootcamp on my Mac so keyboard shortcuts are a little trickier, might also explain the better graphics to an extent), so I use the game's internal camera.  They seem to come out much clearer when I take a full screen shot then if I take a smaller one.

@Haljackey Thanks man!  Much of that work (especially the residential areas) has actually been within the last 3 years or so.  The Downtown and intercity portions were built first, and then rebuilt, and rebuilt and rebuilt again lol.  I originally started this region on my Mac (with the Aspyr disk no less) and every subsequent Mac upgrade brought scores of issues.  There were times I'd stop playing for months, maybe even a year at time.  Then I discovered the Steam version for my Mac and was off and running.  Until I hit the dreaded plugin limit for Mac's.  Then I finally Bootcamped Windows over to my Mac and have been flying since.  And with the fix to the Prop Pox, this region is fully functional and playable again!

[Simmer2 23,828]

@tariely....LOL! Nice going!

Just messing around with some MMP experiments.....

 

[tariely 4,498]

(relieved you 're not taking my head off) ; re your experiment : I don't think the gravelly path would completely cover a road... gravel on both edges, yes.

Why would I? Plagiarism is the highest form of flattery.

Today I am working on new road and rail networks in a hilly area.

RHW 2 most convenient, aswell regular rail, some heavy industrial development  coming soon, large town it may be a little to congested ? Would be nice to see some mid-rise and low level residential area´s !

[Simmer2 23,828]

@kschmidt All in due time

Here are several more True STR Sidings. Different overlays designs and of course more railcars variety to choose from. There will be 10 in total (In line with my other siding pack)
Also shown are a few more HD retaining walls. I have already made 12 different ones.

I see not much interest, but hey 8 down 2 to go. I'm actually making lots more railcar models to go with the sidings as I go.

@Simmer2 Not really related but, in addition to your excellent work the way you set it up in game is always very pleasant to look at

Was wondering are you going to upload these or are these for you? Would like to get these they are good!

The beginnings of the beautiful New Alps (Cacciatorian German: Neu Alpen) region of the state of New Scotland.

The sidings are really superb!

When I get a free moment, I chip away at my ever-growing city:

There's an emphasis on a lot of greenspace, including parks.

As the city grows, houses turn into luxury apartments:

Bike paths and public transit are important in this city.

Pedestrian paths, too!

 

A few changes have been made since the overview image was shot, but in any case, enjoy!

 

[The British Sausage 5,449]

Wow! This is a very different style Bipin!

Looks you've exchanged grey concrete for green grass!

Great RHW use; bricked must be somekind of overlay ? Nice use of the diamond intechanges. Black tile path lots obviously doesn´t like hilly terrain, well done !

A place where old meets new: I'm not sure if these two pictures are kind of grotesque, but here you are. I've been working on an artifical island with a lot of highrise offices and residentials (actually, this is the first time I've ever grown highrise buildings). It required weeks of work and a lot of planning: Most of the residentials have been relotted, and I've carefully planned the layout of the entire island (regarding traffic networks, zoning, civic buildings, and free space) to make sure that no building grows twice. Hope you like it.

And the same area viewn from the opposite direction:

[kschmidt 6,198]

Praha - prague & Brno !

Some pictures of the development of prague. Last showed the station area. Now most rail lines and the RHW further worked out !

RHW needed a more city avoiding direction, so a 45 dgr to the east with a small ramp !

Prague second small rail hub Masarykovo Nadrazi on the right !

Norther junction of the two mainline rail routes on the left !

City side of town and the hill where the castle is situated wich gave the name of the town !

Gradualy adding more of the street patern, some zoning as a town can not survice without !

Brno !

Little side project connect the rail line to Prague and extend the RHW 2 into the direction of Ostrava !

Enjoy !

[Haljackey 17,380]

New area of town: South Halton Convention District

I'm not super into plopping, but I will fill in the cracks with zones, parks and open spaces.
