And again filled a small gap.
The building of the gas union stands. Now the gas pipes arrive where they should go.

Hi!

I had a little time toying with this city tile. I haven't played on this tile for ages, but regarding recent releases here and there I made a little progress on the industrial part of the city. Thanks to @Simmer2 for these awesome stuffs!

1. Trash handling facilities with rail connections...

2. A possible location for the subway depo in this city tile.

3. Central Station area. It may get a deeper revisit.

Today I post the final of my interchange building series

Merry Christmas everyone

This little s bend in the street and the visually unlinked lots were annoying me, it was originally a spot I was 'forced into' with spacing but decided to go ahead and do all the work needed to move lots around and expand the mmp work even across the river to give more space.

[Tyberius06 12,251]

Hi there!

The second urban station lot is out now, but before the link let me tell a little background story.
I've met with the Shinjuku Complex lot at the very fist time in Samgoogolplexian/@Moonraker0 SimCity 4: Let's Play Pinecastle youtube videos and I started using it in my first city attempts from the late 2014. Than later in 2015 when I frist started to use the Lot Editor (with a huge lack of knowladge about anything), this complex was one of the first relots what I've ever made to change the rail textures (East Wing) and some additional parts (the West Wing).
This is one of my favourite station complex in the game and in the past couple of years it got many alterations. Now I feel it's time to give one of them to you. Some of you may know that CounterPoint is a bit of special part of my capitol city in SC4 (Noir City), partially standard European, partially very parisian and there are parts of it which recall more Far-Eastern architectures. The last (now released) version of the Shinjuku Station Complex is the main central station of CounterPoint. For myself, I like to mix the different styles, that's why the Japanese station complex got very western additional buildings on the East Wing (this is v1) and since it was made mostly for my CounterPoint City part I call it CounterPoint Shinjuku. Although some of you might not like this mixture, therefore I made a more japanese looking version (v2), and I call it just simple Shinjuku East Wing. The dimensions for both wings were changed compared to the original LOTs made by @tepodon.

The old harbor bridge is too low for shipping traffic.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Here are a couple shots of the Kingsway Christmas Market at Kingsway and King Edward Avenue.

Thanks!

The second and final part of the Gas Union.
Now it can go to the cold stores.

First of all.... Merry Christmas community.... Ive have a little something for you. Its City called Bayside.... Many is of the Freeway 1. Some is also layout of the Communty of Sunnyside market "the Island town" and a Industrial Park. Enjoy.... 

[Josh6 873]

Finally finished the Zoo! Now onto the rest of the park

 

Merry Christmas everybody!

 

 

For some context
I'm slowly making my way through basically every block of the island for realism. I've spent the last year or so making changes to city tiles I've started almost 9/10 years ago...

This park has taken me a while

Here is yet another commercial building and lot I made in my spare time. There are a couple of them not to far from my work place and one of them even stores cars and containers.
Such as the one below... I call it SM2 U Store It

The building and sign are separate items, this is so the building can be repurposed for other reasons if anyone wishes to re-lot it.

A new city tile- Madison Plains. New toys- Mattb325's FA-3 Civic buildings!

[Simmer2 23,831]

This will probably the largest pic dump ever from me but with the model being so ginormous I had no choice but to take 14 pics to be able to appreciate it.

38 hours to create

787,562 polygons

7.5 hours to render in full HD

243.2 meter or 797.9 feet tall.

My city's mayor had heard that NASA was selling a stripped down version of the Saturn V rocket after sitting on display for over 40 years and so he bought it to make our city more attractive. Spent 25 million simoleons from the city coffer and had it dismantled and shipped to the current location. It took over 200 sims and 8 months to execute but it cost him another 20 millions to put it together. I think he paid way too much for it...

I have setup this lot to be a tourist trap. It gives an 85 over 43 radius landmark effect and a considerable park effect. It also gives a gigantic 240,000 low residential cap relief.

The question is: should I leave it as a tourist trap or just make it as a landmark and be done with it. (I think a tourist trap may lower the mayor rating thus my conundrum)

Thanks for posting the info.

The greatest irony?

Less than 5 minutes to re-scale and re-index in the model tweaker & reader. 

 

It's a really stunning centrepiece.

It would work either way, IMO: as a static landmark, you can add the demand satisfied exemplar without having to bother with the rest of the reward type stuff and you can easily add the park/landmark effects.....

 

PS: the U-store it looks really nifty, too. I especially like the idea of the detachable sign.

Thanks @mattb325 Perhaps its because I'm using Gmax but I have tried that method with a 250,000 poly model I did a while back and I wasn't too happy with the result. I found the texture to be a bit hazy.

So I don't mind the longer waiting time in order to get a perfect HD render.

By the way I love the new slogan....

^^ I know, imagine someone hanging such a big protest banner from the Clifton suspension bridge (made famous by a certain avatar) of all places? Perish the thought.

The construction of the main part of the port has been completed. Still need coal and oil terminals. SANTANA ISLAND (GENT) continues to develop.

Those self-storage facilities are getting more and more popular and apparently are very profitable....  be careful or you'll find yourself rich all of sudden

As always amazing detail.  That scaffolding in the 2nd pic - the wood planks with uneven lengths - superb realism.

I have always loved this station but could never quite figure out how to use it so it fit in well - putting the two parts together, and especially what I thought was a 3rd part with that overhead walkway.  And the way the tracks just sort of come out from under the station in front, I always wondered if something was missing - you have to be very creative with it - I see you covered the rather strange effect with an elevated avenue though, very nice.  Looks great!

I am continuing to work on redeveloping the South Yards area of the city into the new urban core with proximity to the most subway/light rail connecting lines and the largest of the three main railway stations to the city...

This is the first 'phase II' development which I am calling Lasalle Circle.  I decided to try using the subway FLUP method to make an express road connection between this new neighborhood and the next major district to the south.

 

With this new development I am continuing to try to design with more open walkable plaza areas, increased lush south Florida greenery, and modifying transit lines to serve these new developments...

 

The last building in phase I - and I have realized that with all the modern look and feel I am trying to bring to these developments I still have 1960's looking cars driving around.  Guess I need to work on updating my automata.

Hi!

Thanks!
Oh, with the elevated avenue I copied the RL position of the Shinjuku Station more or less. If you check it on google maps satelite view or street view (see picture below), you can find something similiar. That's why it looks strange...
