Chicago, by Mayor Afuegosky
Welcome everybody, I tried to do it as accurate as possible yet, there are things which can't be done because game limitations unfortunately, comments are welcomed and many more pics to come like Lake Shore Dr., Navy Pier, Grant Park, Loop, Sears, Hancock and Beutifull Wacker........Gotta Love Chicago!

Man that is awesome. If you have the whole region complete or partially I would love to see a region pic. Also I need to see the pics as soon as possible. BTW would you be interested in sharing with me this really awesome region?

I'm from Chicago... it's very realistic so far, I can't wait to see the whole thing and see how it turns out!

Kinda makes you wish that somebody made a BAT of Wrigley Field doesn't it?

    I'm not the one to write a story along with my city journal but when i finish developing the region to its fullest i will try to use it as a close interpretation of the city of Chicago, like for example building contruction and things like that. Region pic coming up

    Here you go,  the Chicagoland region view not complete but eventually I will get to it, i'm mainly working on the main one(Chicago), I'm trying to control what grows because I want to grow the entire city with 3 flats and small medium wealth houses.As you can see there is more density to the west loop and i want to eventually move on to the north side which contains a higher density then any other parts of the city of Chicago.

    Looks pretty cool. One question though: If your goal is accuracy, how come you're not using all the Chicago BATs out there? I have three out and two more on the way. geoff_diamond has several as well.

    Just check the STEX.

    Is that a fire hydrant-opening animation there at the top, in the alley? If it is, that's so cool.

    That shot is actually really cool, and it would be better if it weren't for the crappy scale in game.

    Oh, you are using custom BATs. Great job then!

    Did you terraform to get your map, or did you use an image? My image
    doesn't render at the right scale.
