Goodbye Krystallin

[Mymyjp 1,052]

Hello everyone,

 

Some of you know me from my SC4 journal. Since I never played anything else but SC4 (never played any other city building games before SC4), I have been following many journals and watch videos/tutorials to understand the mechanics of CSL. It has been very interesting and the more I play CSL, the more I enjoy it.

 

I have been asked to post what I have done so far...so here goes (FYI...no story line..lol):

 

Krystallin - about 20K cims. The city is not even close to be completed. And it definitely doesn't even come close to some of the wonderful journals I have the pleasure to view here! But it's home..lol

 

Some of the following pictures are my favorite places to date within my city.

 

Hope you enjoy and please, do provide suggestions or recommendations! They are most welcomed.

 

Here's an overview of the region to date.

 

Let us enter this city via one of the suburb.

 

Cemeteries are definitely required in this game!

 

A small amusement area for kids of all ages...

 

Passing by Fringe College.

 

Lady Krystal - First roundabout before getting on the road leading to downtown

 

For people who know my favorite style of building, they will know I was a happy camper building this..lol

 

Hummmm...Road or Pedestrian path to go downtown?

 

This picture reminds me of an area in downtown Montreal, my hometown.

 

Busy intersection leading to the business district. My cims love taking the bus or walking to work.

 

Right smack in the middle of downtown, you will find nice rest area full of trees and seating areas

 

All I could think about when I took this picture is: Is it senior day somewhere? (I know, that is not nice...lol)

 

And the final picture....So happy they reproduced that building in CSL...it is one of my favorite in SC4.

 

Well ladies and gentlemen, hope you enjoyed!

iviaarten: Thank you for your kind comment. I do love green cities.

ulisse: Thank you so much!

LnX: yes, I also had an issue with how the pedestrian paths looked like. Eventually, when I am more comfortable with the game, I will redo this asset.

47Ply: So happy you loved it buddy!

89James89: of course there is a special place for your squirrels!

Schlumanator: Many thanks dear friend!

Ultimate727: not even close to compare this journal to Forkton!!!!! But I must admit this journal didn't come out too bad.

feyss: Thank you very much!

APSMS: Thank you for sharing this information. I didn't know this was a building in RL. The rendering of the building is really awesome! And thank you for your comment.

OK, sadly enough, the new patch did have a negative effect for me. One of my mod, when updated, corrupted my city, which is now loss God knows where. It is not even on my list of saved games anymore..

 

Therefore, adieu to Krystallin...neithless to say that I am extremely sad about this..but when God closes a door, a window opens...in this case, that window is the "new game" option in the CSL menu..lol

Lovely first entry, I most certainly like your style. You have a knack for nice camera angles as well.

 

Looking forward to more.

A beautiful city with many parks a perfect city to live

You sure known how to play CS with style. It's like seeing your SC4 CJ but now in CS. The pedestrian walkways were great, though a few were ridiculously steep; I have known mountains less steeply inclined!

Looks lovely Mymyjp! Very nice debut into the world of Cities Skyline and the start of what I hope will be a successful city!

 

That second image looks really nice!

 

Cheers

 

James

 

PS. Hope you have some places for the squirrels!

Looks cool. And that is quite a roundabout!

I think Forkton has got a great new opponent.

Awesome first update! I love the names you make for your cities!

[feyss 1,981]

Awesome first pictures

That last pic; it happens to be one of my favorite buildings in RL, too.

Lovely start. I like the park in the middle of the roundabout with all the Ped paths. It might be horrible in RL due to visibility reasons, but in-game it looks lovely.
