Show us What you're Working On

[Lucario Boricua 7,049]

Been working on this huge region for almost a year, starting in late August and having both a major hurricane and a terribly busy graduate school semester get in the way!

I present you: the Sinnoh Region!!

 

Latest progress corresponds to founding Veilstone, current priority is completing initial development of the east side of the main ladmass.

For anyone interested, the map is drunkapple's small-scale (1:6) Hokkaido with terrain edits on the fly to level some areas for city construction and to make rivers from the game's sea level. Terrain mod is Meadowshire (low snowcap mountains) with the Middle European forests, the B98 Beach Extender and Dogfight's Dark Limestone rocks for the cliffs.

The region is a sort of "irredentist" canon, including as many videogame, anime and manga locations as possible. It also shows a more advanced level of infrastructure development depth, though it is still lagging in terms of custom buildings (being addressed this month at least).

I thought that this may work in GoFSH and it's nice to see that it did

Nice use of the FlexTrack component of the RRW!

The wha?  What piece is that?

Obviously not quite finished yet, I will do some more work with HVAC textures and maybe darken up the roof a bit, but I hope to get this done by the 4th when I do some more traveling.

I plan on doing separate downloads... as this will be a ploppable plaza version. I will also do growable individual shops with different textures, and maybe some extra brands other than the six featured.

Guys, do you think I should change something?

Oh WOW!!!  That's the best Mansion/Estate I've seen in the 15+ years of this game.  Absolutely stunning work.  Really love the gardens and pool with the open clam shell, adds a lot of pizzazz to the lot, looks like something straight out of Europe and would enhance anyone's cities.  You have some major talent alejolopez13.

I tend to prefer waters that are more brownish than that, but it looks neat! I would check them with shallow underwater surfaces to see the small variations; normally what works well on a harbour-like coast doesn't go just fine on a shallow beach.

A simple blank storefront would be a fantastic idea too. For both empty storefronts and/or the using of other brands

hmm a blank storefront with many different signs as a prop family would be interesting too.

I've been fleshing out Aeroes City into the suburbs a bit lately, and traffic is becoming an issue in some places of town. I have added a new circular subway route through Central District with branches into Southern and Northern. Phase 1 of the tram line that will eventually connect Eastern to the Northern subway branch is complete, after major road closures to construct the line.

I'm not too concerned with the congestion through Central, as the commercial loves this, and honestly there's not a lot I can do without destroying the entire district.

That looks perfect. Its mesmerizing.

[matias93 7,535]

Wow, that looks seriously cool! I would try increasing the transparency of the foreshore texture only a bit, to make the water that touches the coast a little bit less 'tinted'

I'll keep it in mind

More progress in Cindersville as I flesh out the west side of the valley...

The lot is basically done, meaning I only have to do a little modding to make it an attractive ploppable. However, I really have not decided if I want to package it with anything else or not yet, which is the main holdup for now.

Glad to be still working on my city after almost 10 years!

Next project in Vancouver:  Queen Elizabeth Park (not quite to scale lol).

[MilitantRadical 2,844]

A little revamp of an old tile. Just need to work out a couple of kinks before I press the play button.

[nycsc4 5,250]

Still in the early stages here, but the Vancouver Observatory has been built.  The surroundings will eventually change, I've decided to forest the entire park and just build it out from there.

I don't know of too many good observatories for SimCity 4 so I'm using LA's Griffith Observatory (whose Art Deco features I actually find to be a nice fit for my city).
In the actual Vancouver this is a conservatory, but I also don't know of any good ones of those for SimCity 4 either.

I've also shifted my observatory over to the west a bit from the location of the actual Bloedel Conservatory in Queen Elizabeth Park.  This way it lines up dead center with Cambie Street and provides an amazing view towards Downtown Vancouver and the mountains.

This would be the real life view.  You can see the actual Bloedel Conservatory to the right.  My new observatory sits on the Cambie Street axis.

Thanks!

How long do those super spectacular scenes, of all kinds of real world locations, take you to make!?
