@max_13: Not my intentions, but now you mention it, yes, it does look like a US suburb.

 

@Ln X: Thank you! I have seen pretty cool pictures all over the forum!

Update 7: Going Green

 

Welcome to the seventh update of Riverdam. This update, we're going green! I have used a LUT today. Please say what you think of it.

Before the ingame pictures come, I have some flags for you.

 

Flag of Riverdam (country)

 

Flag of Riverdam (city)

 

But let's move on to what this update is really about: green stuff!

 

A new solar plant has been built at the other side of the highway from the Dark District.

 

It will make sure every cim has enough power.

 

It also powers this new TV tower

 

Now, the literally green stuff: the new forest industry!

 

 

A small village began to grow next to the forest industry.

 

 

All those people need a place to dump their trash.

 

And of course they need faith. (lol, suicidal grandma on the right bottom corner of the picture!)

 

Some of the homes those industrial workers live in. Not too shabby.

 

 

 

Not too shabby at all.

 

Here is an overview picture of the area.

 

We'll use the highway to move on.

 

I think the architect of the building on the right thought those football players don't need that corner.

 

At least they still have all the other 3 corners.

 

I don't know what these people are doing, but it's definately not basketball. (It's a flash mob!)

 

This football stadium is home to Riverdam FC. Rivals of FC Riverside.

 

 

There's no lack of parks in this area.

 

 

 

The new Chirper headquarters next to 'The Crown'.

 

See you next time in Riverdam!

Your LUT seems familiar I like the stadium, which one is it?

It looks like the Globe arena. It was in SimCity 4 also.

 

Great work here! I really liked the screenshots, especially the close up ones!

[tankmank 853]

Lovely update, from town to city. 

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

That's a nice looking skyline you got there! I really like the solar farm, as well as the village shots with the massive radio mast in the background.

[Carnivorus 19]

Beautiful stadium. Does look a bit like Old Trafford but I could be wrong on that
It's sad that sports are not really simulated. Would love to see them cims playing basketball or everything else

[BLANKBLANK 4,414]

So very, very green! That basketball court was funny because I initially thought that the centre circle in the court was covered in a big puddle of blood.

Hi! I am curious. Which city game did you use to make Riverdam. Thanks in advance!

[badsouth 0]

Hi1 Which City Game did you use to make Riverdam? I am curious. Thanks in advance to all who reply1

[89James89 1,169]

badsouth its in Cities Skylines (an easy way to tell if your ever lost again is to look at which game section of the forum its in ).

 

Lovely updates Ultimate. Really am liking the small town on the edge of the hill. The houses look really nice and I love the layered look it has to it!

 

Cheers

@max_13: Lol and the stadium is called Larger Football Stadium: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=418444458&searchtext=celtic

 

@michae95l: I think he meant the football stadium, but I'm not sure. Also thanks!

 

@tankmank: Thank you!

 

@kingofsimcity: Thanks! You mean the really thin one on the top of the hill next to the village?

 

@Carnivorus: No it's from Celtic in Scotland. I posted the link for it in the reply on max' post. And I agree with you about the cims only standing on the field.

 

@Ln X: I think that's just graffiti, but I could be wrong...

 

@badsouth: Are you a troll?

 

@badsouth :/

 

@89James89: Thanks! You mean a bit like SF, CA?

 

@gviper: Thank you!

Update 8: Let it Grow! 

 

Hello and welcome to the 8th update of Riverdam!

I'll keep the intro short this time and just go straight on to the pictures.

 

BTW, did you notice the flag after the title of the update? It is the flag of Riverdam (city) and from now on, each update will only be about one district and I'll post the flag of the city/village/district next to the title.

 

New skyscrapers have been built... That's what this update will be all about.

 

The Orthodox cathedral still looks nice between all those new skyscrapers.

 

I want to be on this train!

 

The new HSBC building next to the Aon Center fits in very well here.

 

You remember this place from the last update?

 

Some skyline pictures:

 

 

 

See you next time in Riverdam!

[TPB 563]

Nice work Ultimate727, I really liked the small cliff district/town in previous update a lot : )

 

My only suggestion would be to try out the Fine Road Heights mod, which would allow for much nicer smooth and realistic overpasses both for pedestrians as well as roads : )

Give it a shot, it's really nice. Makes page-up and page-down have increments of just 3 meters when doing elevated networks, so you can have 9m overpasses rather than 15m(default).

[Libertyville 164]

I love the color tone. Keep up the good work.

[Kim Sunwoo 817]

I didn't know you had a CJ! The world out of the blog section is new for me.

Luckily you weren't on that train, otherwise we wouldn't have that great picture from the very tracks! I like that ;-)

[BLANKBLANK 4,414]

Alrighty! Yet more amazing pictures. The one with the train passing by was super cool.

[Carnivorus 19]

Amazing shots.
That slope is going to be quite fun for skaters
I do like that church shot. Does bring a feeling of historic influence into a modern city. Just feels natural

[89James89 1,169]

The first and the sixth picture look amazing, though the road int he fifth picture does look a bit suspect lol.

 

Cheers

[max_13 128]

Great downtown area!

@TPB: Thanks! I am already subscribed to fine road heights, so I think you were just looking at something I created before.

 

@Libertyville: Thanks! The LUT I'm using is called Blockbuster: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=403440351&searchtext=blockbuster

 

@Kim Sunwoo: Welcome and thanks!

 

@Ln X: Thank you!

 

@Carnivorus: Thanks! It's the perfect place for Tony Hawks! And this is the link for the church BTW: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=416625005&searchtext=cathedral

Riverdam

Update 9: Riverside  & Leedshire 

 

Hello and welcome to the 9th update of Riverdam!

This will be the last update in a long time. I'm going to spain tomorrow and will stay there for over a week. I want to wish all of you who also have holidays now, happy holidays!

Leedshire is a new suburban town I created next to Riverdam, the village from the first update. Lets start!

 

Even though it's situated next to an industrial area, Riverside is a wealthy place with many parks and happy residents.

 

Like I said: many parks.

 

And Riverside even has its own recycling center!

 

The Dark District is a part of Riverside. No one lives here, fortunately.

 

 

 

Well, maybe some homeless guys do live here. (I hope not)

 

Next to the Dark District, a new town has been developed for the industrial workers.

\

 

Don't worry. They have good healthcare!

 

I don't know how industrial workers can afford these houses.

 

 

At the otherside of Riverside, I took this picture.

 

We're heading towards Leedshire now.

 

Leedshire is the largest of all districts in the Riverdam metropolitan area.

 

 

And because of that, it has two universities. The one below is one of them.

 

The church, TV tower and falling pillars plaza are popular attractions.

 

It is also possible to climb the church tower for only €5 for an adult and €4 for kids from 6 to 14. Kids below 6 are free, but it's at your own risk if you take them with you.

 

Some overview pictures:

Leedshire is on the left. The Dark District and Riverside are in the front.

 

The curved roads of east Riverside in the front and Leedshire in the distance.

 

 

See you next time in Riverdam!

[Trump_ 1]

Love your city, can I have a list of the mods you're using?

[Carnivorus 19]

Awesome update - again

Very nice decisions on what buildings to pop where. Fits in nicely! As always, I like it.

 

Have a nice time in spain!

[YUUU 65]

Riverdam looks gorgeous! Love the radio tower, it sure looks a lot like the one in Rotterdam.  Since your country name is ending in -dam, do you happen to be Dutch? 

Anyway Leedshire downtown looks like a skyscraper heaven

[PhatHead 248]

What a most excellent cj you have here.  You have an extremely beautiful city.  I think I'll come visit next week  [in person]. 

[Kim Sunwoo 817]

Great entry! The picture of the ship and the last one are truly beautiful :-)

[Buffalonian2 6]

You're very good at finding nice camera angles.

[Dazzyls 576]

@Trump_: Thank you and I sent a PM about those mods.

 

@Carnivorus: Thanks and Spain was lovely!

 

@YUUU: Yes, I am Dutch (which you can see on the left of this post), but this is not the tower from Rotterdam. Example is in spoiler. And I love Rotterdam, so it might have been an influence for my city name, but I don't know anymore. Last, there are no skyscrapers in Leedshire. All skyscrapers are in downtown Riverdam and in Miami. Also thanks for your comment!

Rotterdam (left) and Köln (right) (this one looks more like the CSL one)

 

@PhatHead: Thanks for your kind words, but how will you manage to do that?!

 

@Kim Sunwoo: Thank you! Although in the picture with the ship, you can see the least of my city, I like it too.

 

@Buffalonian2: Thanks!

 

 

No update this time. I'm sorry. I just need your help so I can play the game again. I have made a new topic here: 

[Dazzyls 576]

Problem solved, so here is a new update. The tenth to be more precise!

 

Riverdam

Update 10: Some Farms 

 

A new small town has been created next to west Riverside. It is called Fallfield (Springfield, Fallfield. You get it?) and is home to about hundred people, and a high percentage of them is farmer. Today, we will look at this village next to the solar plants.

 

This is the main street of the little village. On both of its sides are shops and houses.

 

The left building is an old cinema, which is still in use and the right building is the local school.

 

The school and cinema are the oldest buildings in the village still standing. The school is even more than a century old.

 

 

The 'skyline' of Fallfield.

 

You can see the Leedshire TV tower from anywhere in the little village.

 

 

An overview of the farms and solar plant.

 

Another farm picture.

 

I have slightly changed this railway to make it look smoother.

 

The centre of Leedshire has grown a lot since the last update. Even skyscrapers are rising now!

 

The skyline

 

See you next time in Riverdam!

[_Michael 2,681]

Looking wonderful and beautiful as always, Ultimate!

[BLANKBLANK 4,414]

Wonderful farms!
