Haha, you're welcome - glad to see you enjoy using them! I probably sound like some sleazy salesman when I say that, but why not use the growable IRM lots, too? Of course, if you are playing in a developed region, then it would be a major hassle to bulldoze and re-zone everything, not to mention that it would probably throw the demand bars out of balance.

I was working on this part of interchange and curent results is like "What the hell you did Domo?.."

The Garden City tile got crash bugged from some conflict with new addons. Oops. Boom.

Updating the config.bmp for modeling a real region is hard! Here, I am trying to make sure that bridges, highways, and highway interchanges, as well as major urban centers, towns, airports, railyards, ports are all on appropriate city tiles.

(Also poste on my city journal)

 

I am working on a tile that I intend to be basically an industrial city in Akuraku city, with some suburbs and a small downtown. All plopped, with traffic being eye candy and artificially generated. So far:

 

Overview:

Downtown (will have more trees and small Residential and Commerce):

Residential area (will probably fill the gap between the buildings with the industry fillers):

Park and sport complex area (still need to work on an MMP texture and some rocks and stuff):

Manufacturing Industry and some Residentials (I need to fill in with nature, and probably add some more lowrise residentials and commerce along the roads):

Residential block (need to fill in with some trees and industry fillers):

Agriculture near the above area (need to work with more MMPs obviously):

 

Thanks, and i would really welcome suggestions and criticism. This forum nowadays seems quiet, lets cheer it up a little bit

About the image cited, I think you could archieve more realism unlevelling the road instead of the rail, considering that trains are much less slope-tolerant than rubber-wheeled automobiles. What is more, you can lose less terrain to unlevelling, because roads could be raised just to L1 instead of the mandatory L2 of the rail viaduct. I think this is specially important in a industrial region, where the loads of the trains are heavier and more dangerous if derailed.

Interesting works here lately. I like ambiance of your work SUPERMESSI. 

[Belfastsocrates 1,753]

Looking really good so far Supermessi, I agree about the railway though. 

I've always admired your building selection, such a great variety and some lovely choices. 

[tankmank 853]

I agree about the railway, would be more realistic. But i like the buildings chosen, and i think i might have to search the Japanese sites as you seem to have some buildings that are new to me. 

Here are two images from me, i am doing a Asian/Australian/American style city, Japanese is the predominant style for now, especially the suburbs that are shown.

Still working on Portsmouth:

Nice, and really small. In scale, that is a CBD, an industrial borough and a couple of suburbs in a bit more than a sq. kilometer.

Oooo! I get a nice Euro feel/NA style type of vibe here, really exiting! Very realistic and thoughtful, I dig it.

Came here to post a current picure of Whitehaven that's actually kinda going for the same thing on a larger scale:

 

Screwed up on the transparency this time, eh. It's currently in running simulation for a couple of ingame-years so the commutes and all would set in before I continue developing. It helps to keep a large city that falls on a tile like this stable and functional to not develop everything and then let the game take it from there, I find.

Thanks, i try to make it all look nice, shame about the 4X4 cut off in the first picture though. I should be getting some more stuff shown soon as i grow this city, ti only has about 50,000 people spread over two large tiles at the moment.

The region I am working on. I have only manage to open SC4 six times in the past three months with four of those occurring this week alone. 

[MilitantRadical 2,844]

Medieval themed park in my CBD. Still need to make a few custom lots for it and add mmps.

The southeast corner reminds me of the Carizzo Plain in California.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the completed work!

Looking good Militant!

I'm working on this new Euro city, with lots of retaining walls!

It reminds me of Lausanne, with the uneven terrain and the overpasses right on the city centre

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Some random business park/medium density residential area right on the Boswellian (?) border to Alicante.

[Artimus 485]

I am just starting to build my central city now, and for that I went on a downloading spree on the LEX for some high-rise buildings. In addition, I expanded on the highway system and some more landscaping is required... Overall, I am happy on how it is progressing so far.

[CT14 2,486]

Putting a township onto the Calidore map. (Old West USA - Townships and Ranges https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Land_Survey_System). I wanted to try something small for an attempt at fictional realism. The pink squares are quarter sections with 1-tile easements (as described here: https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/37578-district-of-wenzel-update-116-ouisconsin-county-morgan-town-rival-to-the-south/?page=32). The unshaded area is one township of 36 sections.

I have been assuming that rail lines (like highways after them) mostly ignored the older section lines, and I checked on some old maps which seem to confirm that assumption. Laskey Rd and Westwood Ave have some parallel lines, but most of the railroads on this Ohio map don't follow section boundaries. Notice the numbered sections prominent at upper left.

And here's what the quarter-section roads look like on the main city core map (basically sections 15,16,21,22 and the western parts of 17 and 23).

Here's an old map that shows some of the effects I am going for:

Deforestation patterns can be seen clearly in many of these old style maps:

Here's what it looks like on that tile (development north of the river has only just begun)...

Following yesterday's post, I might as well show off how things look on the other side, too. Remember, this is still a work in progress. Medium/low res will fill in most of the foresty areas when finished.

 

[raynev1 1,886]

@Artimus  That is a cool region you're working on 

 @CT14 Looks like you have a plan there , can't wait to see how it turns out and I love those old maps .

@_B That is coming along very well .

Been working on a small rural town. Anyone has a fix to this problem?

Not on a flat enough surface? I had such problem with peg ponds and documentation blames this as reason.

[raynev1 1,886]

I have had this same problem with Peg Ponds , not as bad though . I just posted pics in Show us creeks,rivers and streams , with similar glitch . Still looks good .
