"Maersk Sealand" is the company #1, now alive and operating around the world. Don't have to bury it.

Or am I wrong? 

[MissVanleider 1,851]

@Silur Maersk Line still exists. Part of AP Moller-Maersk group. The specific 'Maersk Sealand' brand has been discontinued a long time though

[Yarahi 1,823]

SeaLand was reborn Jan.1 2015 http://www.maersk.com/en/the-maersk-group/about-us/publications/maersk-post/2014-2/sealand-reborn-with-great-expectations

Thanks for the info...

I see MAERSK label every day and anywhere ...

[MissVanleider 1,851]

@Yarahi Well shows what i know! In my defence when i watched their informative corporate video, it had been discontinued!

[Simmer2 23,831]

@MissVanleider, @Silur, and @Yarahi

Yup! Maersk is included in my collection as you have seen. I will keep going making containers until I run out of metal to build them.

By the way I have already created 174 world wide shipping container's textures with Photoshop. It takes roughly 1 hour each from start to finish, includes all 3 angled renders.

So yea, it is a massive job, perhaps I will stop at 50 or so.

This is what i am working at the Moment.Still filling Holes and patching up Neighborhoods in Manhattan.

Today i fancied working on Manhattanville a bit.Many of the old industrial Buildings are gone now,but luckily for me,they still exist in Simcity.Of course i also made Room for a few modern Additions to Manhattanville like the massive Parking Garage and the Social Housing Projects.

 

A short Part of Manhattanville`s last existing Bit of Elevated Rail...

 

So,what do you think so far?

I also have a Question: I`m using the Light Replacement Mod and especially when there are many Lightpoles around the Tiles become very bright.

Is there something i can do about this?AFAIK,there was once a Solution but it doesn`t work anymore or something like that or isn`t compatible with something...idk.

Hey Folks! Long time no post. I tend to go on two week Simcity benders then I give up, but I get some things created.  It will probably be another 5 years before I finish this project so I might as well share some images now.  I've been working on a city heavily based on Helsinki, but I have made some major changes such as realigning whole areas of the city to make it mostly ortho. as there are too many limitations with building diagonally.  

First up we have the Siltasaari neighbourhood which is just across a small channel from the main city centre.  

  

2. This is a brutalist/socialist housing project just to the east of the historical parts of Siltasaari.

3. This is Ruoholahdentori just beside the music conservatory.

4.  This is part of the Ruoholahti quarter which was historically an industrial and port area of the city but since the 90s it has transitioned into an area of modern apartments, offices, parks and other uses.

.#

5. This is the western part of Kamppi district which is more residential 

6. The CBD.  I have taken some creative liberty here in adding a few bigger buildings than you'd find in real life Helsinki.  There is also an entirely new area which was the result of turning a diagonal area into an orthogonal area.

7. Another angle of the CBD including the railway station

8. Part of the Kruununhaka neighbourhood.  It's a mixture of residential, boutiques, university and government buildings.

9.  This is Rautatentori / the railway square.  A busy area as it is right beside the train station and secondary bus station, museum & theater.  There is sometimes an ice rink during the winter months.

10. A close up of the bus station.  Police are questioning a young man after he was spotted trying to steal a traffic cone from the road works.

11.  Close up of the square. A young man waiting for a bus sits on a bench with a box of chocolates.  Don't sit next to him if you're in a rush.

12.  Here is Senaatintori or the Senate Square.  It is bounded by Helsinki Cathedral to the north and other civic buildings.  

....and that's all I've got for now.  As you can see I have many gaps to fill.

Those Containers look amazing.The crisp Textures and the Moddeling is superb.And the Container Accidents?Pure genius.Don`t know if there are FLAT Screens inside,but everything inside is now definetely flat

@EvansRE4 Looks great.Will it be an alternate Universe because the old WTC is still standing or will there be other Differences as well?Personally,i like the old WTC more and i guess i also would place it instead of the new WTC.Luckily i`m stil far away from starting the Financial District

Say,you wouldn`t mind showing a Close Up of Liberty Island?Just asking because i`m still not happy with mine and maybe i can get some Inspiration from yours...

@Hotwheeler of course I'll show you an upclose shot of liberty island. And yes there well be lots of differences. 

[art128 4,622]

This is an absolutely gorgeous city, younghappy! I suppose you don't happen to have a CJ?

[EvansRE4 796]

@Hotwheeler here is your closeup shot of liberty island

and here is what if completed so far in New York City

[Simmer2 23,831]

@MissVanleider Did you say P&O NedLloyd? Well here is 5 more labels plus an Hapag Lloyd refrigeration unit. You can see the unit built in on the 22.5 box.

 

 

[Fantozzi 4,068]

But ...

... may I ask ...

how's about K+M (Kühne+Nagel?). It's ... just because I like their logo not because they are a big shipping company.  They were founded in 1890 in Bremen (by this time an important international harbour) and it's an anchor (ship) in a a circle (world). I personally think just because of that logo it could look nice in game. There is so much 'shippig' in this logo ...

 

 

IMHO - that looks better than 'Fantozzi'.

 

(and even more realistic)

 

[MissVanleider 1,851]

@Simmer2 the reefer unit is cool! The P&O NL container will look nice with this: 

which already has a warehouse with that branding

Just as Sea-Land and Maersk Sealand, Maersk have long since killed off P&O... However, Sealand has risen again as a primarily American carrier, but I'm unsure if they have their own branded containers yet. Other Maersk brands with containers, however, are Safmarine (Africa), MCC Transport (Asia), Seago Line (Mediterranean) and Damco. And at least Maersk Line and Safmarine have white reefer (cold storage) containers as well.

True! And as @nos.17 was looking into what to relot, I guess this would be a great opportunity to match branded warehouses and containers...

Thanks art! I had one a few years ago but I am so bad at completing projects and I didn't think this was ready yet for the ful CJ treatment.

@feyssOnce I fill in a few more gaps, all will be revealed ^^

[_Michael 2,681]

@younghappyWow. 

Those plaza textures look amazing. Custom textures I assume? And that bus station along with the whole building selection is truly wonderful. Eager for the CJ - you've already given me a few ideas.  

 

[feyss 1,981]

You're not the only one

[younghappy 308]

@_MichaelThank you!  Well I found them scrolling through the list in the Lot editor, but I don't remember which pack I downloaded them in.  I've not made any of my own textures or props yet; major kudos to the people that create content for us all to use!

[Hotwheeler 409]

@EvansRE4

Took me a while until i figured out with Google that this isn`t a landscaped Piece of Land but it`s actual Liberty Island as a BAT and is just a single Object rather than a bunch of Bits...makes it kinda less impressive (seriously,i was looking at the Screen and thinking "how the Hell did he do that....?) but it makes Things much easier for me.Still would have been cool if the Statue of Liberty from Reddonquixote was used.

Oh well,the one from KOSMO looks great,too.

 

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

@Simmer2 Here's a couple other ones.

 

ZIM

Cronos

MOL

 

[MissVanleider 1,851]

@younghappy i agree with the others, those different textures are really both beautiful and quite unusual, it looks like you are using the sandstone sidewalk, but i would love to see that texture from the plazas used with @rsc204's Custom Sidewalks. I dont know why but i think it might be one of the NDEX ones for some reason, although my recent speculation record is very poor...

Anyway really good work, you would surely get a number of eager downloaders of such lots if you could find the dependencies!

PS. To the people uninterested in shipping containers, i do feel bad for discussing them at length here, and i also feel bad for @Simmer2 coming back to check the thread and just finding people mentioning other companies! I however, think it's great! 

[Simmer2 23,831]

Just to reiterate, I have made 174 different  company textures with logos...all the ones you are showing me here have already been made into textures. However there has to be a point where I stop. I think around 50 or 60 in game will suffice.

Simmer2

@Dreadnought Uhmm...perhaps but not in the foreseeable future.

[Tyberius06 12,261]

@younghappy wow, amazing inspirateing pictures. On picture 12 there is a greenish/greyish wall set above the square. What is that set?

[Simmer2 23,831]

@Tyberius06 Those are part of Uki's seawalls sets and you can get them here http://uki-sim.seesaa.net/

There are several pages of beautiful bats!

[Tyberius06 12,261]

Thanks @Simmer2, I didn't recognize them, because I've never used them, but they're here on my HD  Way too many possible plugins are "rest in peace" on my HD....
