Lately I've been working on building the layout for my region. It's not exactly a whole city but more so one section of a city and its outskirts. So far, I've laid out some sprawling suburbia and parkways and have tried my best to make it not look too flat, but not too hilly. Most of these outskirts will be modern suburbia, middle/upper middle class and the use of slope tolerant houses should give them a very dynamic, realistic look once its all done.

Very difficult needless to say, lot's of trial and error. The bulk of what I've done is newer sprawl, so I've tried to keep it from looking gridlike, and the roads are a little less sophisticated since that's usually how it works here in Texas, they don't widen/upgrade the roads until there's too much growth.  *:lol: But towards the east there will be freeways, wider roads, junctions, etc. The plans really to get the city running eventually, and then continue the sprawl realistically.

Interesting terrain -- has possibilities.  For some reason, it makes me think of El Paso -- out in the Tularosa Valley area. *:yes:

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?

My intensions were to build a zoo that was built on an old farm. Some old buildings still remain and used. I am coping the concept of the city zoo in my city.
The idea with the back parking lot is the original zoo does not focus on the workers side of the zoo. It's only for the visitors, where do sims work?, where do the animals sleep?, and so on.
Now they have somewhere to do their work. And I never really cared for the original. This one, the sims are free to roam around, and not stuck walking on paths. 

You can go all out and get crazy with building lots. Where do you stop?

I have not attempted doing modular lots before. I think it would be something that would require some before thought and planning. And besides, I am about ready to move on to the next project *:ohyes:, so maybe next time*:8). I would like to do something modular sometime.

Thank you for your input, I do appreciate it.

 

Well, keep my suggestions in mind, when you make an aquarium. *:D

Wouldn't be a military town without an Irish themed adult beverage establishment, creating stories, memories, police blotter, and headaches for troops' leadership all at the same time.

:golly:     From the looks of it, this area might actually be ready to get a freeway extension to the north! (right side of screenshot)     :idea:

:read:     While it seems simple from this side, the city district north of this location is especially tricky to contend with!     :???:

Meridian Condominiums have been given an extra height variant (as requested when I first showed these) which will help add some variety to the 2x2 and 3x2 medium density zones

Additionally (also not previously shown) I have made a 5x5 lot with these in a prop family to allow some variety:

Do you think it is necessary to put the flag on the warships?

Hard to say, its a toss up. I have many of your wonderful ship but have not had to opportunity yet to use them. So I am not the best to give an opinion. But, keeping them true to their nature or making them a little more flexible is up to the creator.
To me its a small feature, something that could be explained with a story or so, for the reasoning in using said item.
And then their is the war side of things. How do you tell your friends from the ermines enemies. *:D

Maybe if a ship is one that is used by many different countries, those are ones I would leave the flag off.

Just throw a pirate flag on it *:8) We don't need no stinking country!!! LOL

EDIT: Makes me wonder if there is a SimNation flag. *:idea:*:read:

Added edit. corrected ermines to enemies- LOL
