@mitsos I think it looked better with more green space instead of more pavement.

Thank you for the comment  and the interest mate. The previous park was too simple, I wanted a plaza where my Sims could socialize, have a quick snack during lunch time etc and if you look more closely you will see that a main avenue is passing through the city connecting the city center with the southern suburbs. There is a lack of plaza in the city while big or smaller parks are almost in every corner of my metropolis. Not far away from the plaza there is a big park so I ended up with that solution. 😁

Redeveloped this area from industrial to res/commercial

@mitsos It looks great, more urban than the green area. I like these water basin so much, which mod is it? 

[Haljackey 17,355]

I first started this region 8 years ago.

What a differrence ? Complete transformation; downtown expanded or there needed to be room for the rail line !

[mitsos 12,909]

Thank you.There is no room to expand so I had to demolish the houses between the two avenues. I think it is worth it. The population decreased temporarily while there was an amazing rate of new constructions. I love the mechanics of this game.

Hi guys !

 

Here's the first time I post one of my cities on the forum, so I care a lot for your pieces of advice !

 

A few weeks ago I have decided to redevelop completely one of my oldest cities : Guilfaillant, which I started in 2011. The city is located here :

It is located on the edges of the major city, it hosts 65.000 inhabitants, and it is composed of a city center located on a hill, surounded with boulevards, a suburb-like neighbourhood and a large agricultural plain. One of the most original features of the city is a canalised stream located on the very top of the hill and crossing the center.

The city looked pretty bad in my opinion, because I didn't master well enough the NAM, the roads are wriggling wierdly, some intersections are... well... murderously wrong. So I have decided to start it from scratch, but I wanted to keep the general structure of the city : the center upon the hill, the stream on top of it, the suburb, the large plain with a few villages, the Maxis highways and the forest nearby.

Now the city hosts 129.000 inhabitants and I am quite proud of it !

Hi there !

This week I launched the complete reconstruction of Port-Guillaume, started in 2011, with its 93.000 inhabitants.

 

Everything has been started over from scratch :

 

Let's start with the neighbourhood of Normandy before :

And after :

 

The bumpy (and ugly) district of Falaise has quite changed :

Before :

 

And after :

 

The city center, also called the district of Hastings and Angleterre, is now hosting a vast pedestrian area and an underground metro line :

Before :

 

After :

 

One of the specificities of Port-Guillaume was the former citadel in the district of Saint-Etienne, surrounded by water canals. It now hosts the university :

After :

 

Finally, an overview of the city before :

 

And now, with 107.141 inhabitants :

 

Hope you'll enjoy !

Thank you. I'm affraid that i cannot answer this question. The best way to find the walls is to seek some help here:

Seems like it's this one here by Bipin, I remember since it has a very distinctive look like many of his other creations

Usually i'm not that good in before/after shots ... mainly because i forget to take the before shot ;-)
But in this case I can rely on an old CJ where the before shots are still available (It's on: World Surf League, Round 5: Ripcurl Pro Caravella Classic - Principauté de Caravella-Guatalaga - Simtropolis)

Something bothered me about that interchange. It was probably the two 45° curves, with one just before the 180° curve and ramp. I changed it to one 90° which is further away.

Looking good. I'm happy to see your Sims have not forsaken farming as I feel that adds more realism and gives a reason that the cities can flourish. (I love this region and I played it building up all tiles a couple of different times.) On a side note, would it be intrusive if I suggested an additional mod you might be interested in?

I would be the most grateful for any good piece of advice ! I actually have downloaded a lot of ploppable and growable and a few heavier mods but I have always felt a bit overwhelmed by the amount of them since I started to look at them quite late in my game experience :-)

This'll be one single file which you'll drop in your plugins. You can take your pick in: Cori's Side Water Shoppe

Thank you so much ! It is way more beautiful with this mod !

 

Edit : damn my clumsiness, I had downloaded the water mod a few years ago and I couldn't remember which one it was. There was a bit of fumbling around before finding the right one :-D

 

But here it is on a tile I had not work on for a couple of months. My goal was to transform the small and wild Salamine island into an island town :

Here's an overview of the empty island (and it is the first with Cori's side water mod :-) )

And here's the island now, filled with a nice little ferry area, a village of around 2.200 inhabitants and a market gardening zone on the eastern side :

 

And once a few details had been modified and the growing had stopped :
