That is so cool!  Can't wait for this release and other designs as well!   Any chance you can do some with flashing lights like Vegas and Times Square?  Just a suggestion. 

 

If I knew how to do animated lights I probably would. I do have some Vegas stuff I want to do.

the dark texture looks like more realistic weathering for the exposure and material

I experimented today with lightening up the very dark one and darkening the light one just to see if there was a middle ground but in the end I agree the original dark one is the best.  But now I need to figure out new textures for above the tunnel, the new-build modern concrete I have been using almost ruins the look.

 

I does look awesome with lots of trains plying the tracks though I think

The first and the stucco one come from Richmond Upon Thames:

Love the houses!  Any chance you could release the two cream colored houses separately, each by themselves, as I would love to use them in the ritzy part of my cities?   We can never have enough mansions.     Just a suggestion, especially if you decide to do larger mansions.   Thanks for your consideration, and work!

Thank you! The two shots are of the same cream house, just showing the front and back. It grows on its own 1x2 lot, and you find it in the LotPlop extracheat as "JFF_R$$$_Townhouse 05". Yes, at some point I'm also going to make more and larger mansions. Maybe after the next 2 or 3 projects.

Thanks for the clarification.       Yes, would love to see some luxurious mansions.     Thanks!

In my opinion y my pleasure, your driving videos really bring out the full realism of your highway networks.

Hope to see some urban development  to rise in a video. This still a long way to go, zoning, landmarks, parks... !

I'm getting there. I have a couple cities fully zoned and ready to go for vids, and working on a couple more too.

Officially my very favorite newest most favorite wall texture.  And newest.  And very favorite.  But then the hard decision comes.  Whether to use the light colored or dark colored top edge to finish it off.  

 

Love them both, my gut says dark. cant't wait

Major infrastructure project building a rail and BTM across a rugged area of my region

Taking inspiration from Chinese HSR viaducts and offshore roads like in Reunion

Still more extension work to do in the mountains

[JulianMIA 1,610]

Everything is incomplete - two locomotive paint jobs not finished, the concrete wall is sized wrong, the wall lot on the upper portal is too short.  Lots of work to do and old concrete is soooooooo very difficult to get just right .   

But still.  I like it anyway...

...in June 2024 you showed us a region with 50 million inhabitants and then...bam...10 million more in 2 years!! A region with 100 million inhabitants by 2034, ... if there's still a little room left  !!!

I have 4 dense city tiles in active development right now. Two are ready to go, two more nearly there.

Once I press play on these and other smaller cities, the regional pop will possibly exceed 70 mil.

The increases in population are necessitating / funding these cross regional projects. Building a viaduct like that isn't cheap, but the trains will run at max speed with some amazing views once completed.

I'm changing how I upload Hide and Seek files. I'll upload all at once, by creators.

The image above is the result. It was hard to find the exact font used on the logo (below).

 

And thanks to @CaptCity for the nice images!

That sounds like it might be a goood idea. Probably more effective than trying to catch up by doing things one item at a time.

Haljackey region only survive by the knowledge that SimCity 4 as a builder is alll and only about building huge dense cities without a basic economy like Transport tycoon where products chain build cities. SimCity 4 is more about knowledge and industries shape the enviroment. Agriculture except pollution doesn't play through fundamental role it should play ?  The utopia of SimCity 4is that you can mold it in to any shape you like. SimCity 4 base game mechanics turns very fast in to the industrial and innovative towns, the more rural are only a side show ! What we might see is a complete tile with only vertical farms to feed the complete region, flat farms are so space intensive and unprofitable. We will see medium and low density cities and  or agriculture or as des ribed in Hallja key region,maybe ?

+1 for uploading these old and restoration legacy stuff in packs. 

Thanks for the efforts

I understand that these mega-packages are probably easiest to upload, but there are some clear downsides.  If you only want one or several items within, it'd be hard to sort through them.  I'm not personally familiar with these authors so I'd be relying on the description or the readme to see what's included.  Will pictures show everything or just a small image with the creator's name?  As a dependency for anything else, downloading a mega-package like this doesn't make it easy for most people if they only need one item.  

Ideally, I'd prefer individual or smaller packages.

Totally understandable and makes perfect sense. I guess it would be dependent upon the short-term vs. long-term goals. If we want to get things made available and in a 'safe' place, bundling by creator would accomplish that. Granted, some may need to be made into smaller chunks because of the amoiunt of material. And I think there is a good amount of material that folks have saved up that would d make this a fairly quick process.

At the same time, information regarding those items, such as images, readmes, dependencies could be determine and added as time permits. However, waiting for that initially would be a time-consuming process that would lead to a greater wait time for things to become available. 

Just some thoughts...

 

[JulianMIA 1,610]

I stayed with the same area of tunnel portals on the east side of the river today so I coould work through more concepts of 'old concrete' textures.  Maybe made some progress.

 

I do now think that weeds and errant gum trees do go better with old concrete rather than new...
