Show us your Overview of your City/Town

Show us your overview of your city/town. This is where you can post pictures of your city, town, or even a cool nature setting where you are zoomed out enough to see the whole city tile or with large tiles as much as you can.

 

I'll start with an overview of the city of Echo Bay with a population of 186,000.

Very nice city indeed. I really love how you formed that body of water. Cool marina as well.

[thorbald 33]

Thanks for the topic and for the pictures. 

[jmsepe 2,038]

Nice images. I always have problems with adding mmps beside roads and highways.

Continuing on with the city of Garden River, here is an overview of the west part of the city of Garden River.

Here is the Town of Halminton. With a population of 38,800 it's just under the 40,000 mark which it needs to be designated a city under the provinces jurisdiction.

The town is home to the only seaport in the eastern area of the region. It's located on Sugar Island which is the biggest island in the region.

Halminton is the biggest town that is fully built on the island and it covers five medium sized city tiles.

Here is the northeastern overview of the town.

 

The northwestern area of town.

 

The southeastern area of town.

 

The central area of town.

 

 

Finally the southwestern area of town which is were the downtown is located.

 

 

I can't zoom out to zoom level 1 anymore because my game will crash whenever I try to do that.

Does these count?

This could be a multicore issue. I've had this problem too even for years until I happened to stumble upon a solution. Please try this: (I hope I can make it clear, I have Windows in German and don't always know the proper English terms.)

 

- On your desktop, right-click on the Sim City 4 icon and choose "Properties" (last entry).

- Try out clicking on the tabs until you get this screen: (Click to enlarge. "Ziel" literally means "goal", it can, however, also be interpreted as "file path" in this context.)

 

 

- In the box highlighted with a red frame, enter this text after the file path: -CPUCount:1

 

This forces the game to only use one processor core (as far as I know). I'm using this too and it has reduced the amount of CTD's of Sim City 4 significantly.

Edit: It can, however, lower performance.

The teaser for my CJ, which has been halted due to exams, and some other stuff.

I would say those count since you are showing an overview of a certain part of your city.

Thanks, I will give that a try.

Thanks, I changed it to 1 CPU, the game runs a little slower but at least I don't have crashes anymore.

Hippopolis (city pop: ~463,000 & reg pop: ~1.7 million).  It was designed after Madison, WI, but is starting to remind me of NYC more and more.  A case of convergent evolution I suppose.

After about a two month break I had some time to play the game. I've change a few things with the water and the way I design the cities.

Here is about half the city of Newberry, the other half is still under construction. 

Got a little break from work and school and had some time to play it again.

This is the city of Newberry. It's located on Sugar Island just across the St. Mary's River from Sault Ste. Marie. 

Not actually in real life, Newberry is located west on M-28 from I-75 between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan.

Where did you get this coal port!?  It's really neat and the one thing I need to make my thermal power plants complete (I already have fuel tanks usable for biofuel and petroleum power plants).
