Lovely shots Dirkator. What filter do you use if you don't mind me asking? I love how realistic it makes the shots look.

 

 

Here's mine. Got the game today and this is the first town of the Marantoa Commonwealth.Pretty much entirely backwater at the moment so here's a couple of shots.

    Those are great!  I'm using the "Warmer" filter, I think the most realistic looking one by far... And one of them was "Sepia"

     

    Love these backwater towns... shame they aren't really practical at all in terms of gameplay.. but quaint nonetheless ;)

    Here are a couple from one of my townships, Sawyer's Crossing, in my CJ.  I love the "Warmer" filter as well.  I use it during summer month pics and use the cooler ones during winter months just for a little variety.

    This is the town of Particle Board, Population 10,000. The town is built around coal extraction and low taxes/low services and grew slowly, neighborhood by neighborhood. I tried to build in the natural clearings, preserving as many trees as possible... not like my sims care.

    The bustling main shopping district, town hall in the background:

    Here's the middle class neighborhood, facing town hall:

    One of the first neighborhoods in the city, full of small homes and a nice iced cream shop!

    Industrial ground zero:

    It's a good thing these hardy pioneers are well armed because there was a zombie outbreak (due to inadequate healthcare, no police, and low taxes) which reduced my population by 2000! It was pretty epic but the zombies ate my firemen, causing a permanent lack of firefighters (had to bulldoze)! These buildings were demolished and a mall sprang up in its place... a fair trade off.:

    The town of Grand Haven, just a short drive out from Kanopolis. It may be sleepy now, but with the region booming it's expected to grow rapidly in the next few years.

    Are you planning to bulldoze those roads in the future?
