CJ Scrapbook || Greystone Plaza

So, I've been really loving Cities: Skylines. I can't just make one city and work on it like I could in SC4. I love the open landscape and experimenting with new ideas and maps in multiple cities. Rather than make a bunch of CJs, I thought I'd just put together a scrapbook of everything I do!  I really hope you enjoy this update. Please note that areas are subject to change when things need to be updated
 
Helios City: A growing, hustle and bustle coastal city in the far northwestern of Emmeria (based upon, but not a duplicate of the nation in the Ace Combat series). 

Here's a city overview, with some of the major districts (that I've created so far) listed! Westgate is a little outdated since this was added. There's now a lovely beach on the south end of the peninsula, which I'll show off later


Shapiro Harbor! I really enjoyed making this. It was a challenge, let me tell you! In the left-center of the shot, you can see the L. E. Bensfield Nuclear Generating Station.


Here's the CBD's skyline as seen from the Shapiro Harbor Beach! It's not exactly a large beach, but one of the only accessible ones to those living near the Harbor. 


Harrington Quarry. This is what happens when you have a large area rich in ore on a ridgeline. You make a quarry! You can also see the Harrington Industrial Transit Station in the left side. Rain effects courtesy Photoshop and boredom while babysitting


The Helios Times tower rooftop is a great place to view over the area.  

I hope you enjoyed it

Great work, the picture of the industrial area was the best.

Very nice city and that last picture is extra great. If only we cold change the skyboxes..... Becuase the current one is kinda ugly TBH.

Well, I have bad news and good news. Bad news is, I lost what was going to be my next scrapbook post, Cascade Bay (seen below) during the upgrade (and subsequent failure and corruption of data) to Windows 10. I have it working now, mostly, although Windows still refuses to Activate. 

Good news is, Helios City was not one of the corrupted saves. For the longest time, I couldn't get into the city save file without it crashing to desktop. Now it doesn't seem to do that. I will be able to continue to work!  

Here's what was Cascade Bay:

Welcome to Citadel Cove.  

Hanlon Park, with the Citadel High School at the far right.



Citadel Station South: One of two passenger stations in the town.  



Wind River Square, the only Master Planned Neighborhood in Citadel Cove. 



Shot from inside Wind River Square.



King's Bridge. The only access crossing the river (other than the highway). 



As you can see, King's Bridge is a double-decker bridge. Both spans see a fair amount of use. 



Presidium Dam supplies power and water to the entire region. 



An overview of the area, including the local Wards Quarry. 



Please enjoy!

What a nice looking area. Good work with the dam and what is that large machine in the bottom left corner of the last picture?

Not really Skylines, but there's no other place for it. Plus it falls under the CJ Scrapbook of mine.   

"The view from my 35th floor apartment is amazing! Greystone World Headquarters is just across from the transit plaza. I love this city. It's an inspiration, really... Such a great place to settle down. It really is the City of Dreams." - Adam Young.

Nice bonus shots from Anno 2205.

 

And congratulations, your CJ was number one on Ben's Top Ten for the week ending 16 July.

Greystone Industried World Headquarters in Illium City is complete. Including the ever-lovely Greystone Plaza.

Nice night shots.  I'd be interested in seeing the second one with the perspective corrected.
