2 recovered SimGoober creations (Gettysburg Seminary and Schmucker House) might get their way to LEX and STEX too. 

Yes please, I'll be looking forward to using those beauties in my cities. Thanks so much for all the tidying up!

This is my Region. Aberdeen is big, but i plan a Metropolitan Area with a lot of bigger cities and large metropolis, similar New York City, Philadelphia, Boston etc. A large build-up area.:) 

Such a large canvas, how exciting!

Initial concept for Club Dragonfire for Koreatown ... if the roof stops kicking my butt.  Will get some more windows and posters and likely change textures.  Curious if there is interest in release, or have I tortured your eyes enough with this?

Disclaimer: I don't speak Korean.  The accuracy of the signage will determine whether Google Translate actually does.

I really like this, and the blue roof! Maybe just a bit less blue? Like a shade darker and more muted. I think the concept looks great! Even as-is, I would use it in my Ktowns.

Hi all, for once I am playing the game! Working on my pet project Manhattan region, but today I'm across the Hudson in New Jersey. I am stoked at how it's turning out.

Started gridding along the palisades near my home. Thanks to the NAM team for making this all possible with FA networks!

I'm impressed that I'm able to replicate the real angles of the curves and intersections with such ease.

Compare to the same area on Apple Maps around Blvd E/Ferry Road. (Ferry Rd runs down the face of the cliff and under 3 residential skyscrapers IRL.)

Here's Boulevard East as it runs south from Braddock Park, passing from Fairview, down into North Bergen, sweeping in and out of Guttenberg before curving west into West New York.

Yes, IRL we would travel through 4 separate cities!

And here's the (WIP) traffic view of the networks

So I am very excited to see where this project takes me. Thanks for listening!

Awesome!  Looks good so far!  Although knowing your anti-grid style I could see you mastering the Boston map one day … :8)

I am both excited and frustrated.

 

I got a new HD terrain mod, but realized how epic it makes everything.  Its stunning.  Perfect spot for a city where i will make the rivers meet.

But now My tree controller places trees on the rock so I need to modify the controller.  And i feel i need to make the controller a bit more geographic appropriate so its so much more work.

The city of Whirlpool, Stepford region

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed.  But they produced Michael Angelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and The Renaissance.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love and five hundred years of peace.  And what did that produce?

The cuckoo clock !

Once again, you have peeled back the onion skin, to reveal the intricate, Machiavellian layers of my little scheme....not. *:D

Actually, it's a tribute to author Ira Levin, who only wrote 7 novels, amongst them A Kiss Before Dying, Rosemary's Baby, Stepford Wives, Sliver and my personal favorite The Boys From Brazil. You'll find assorted references when I start delving into close-up shots. Incidentally, that's a soda factory.

Beautiful trees, but you've gotta be aware that we're all looking at that background...and drooling!
