Love the detailing on the rails.. can't wait to see more  progression pictures of this city.

Looking back through your CJ, I love the airport you made, very inspiration and the marinas you've made are fantastic.

The intricacy you have for city building is amazing. Great city journal and can't wait to see more!

I think you should do a YouTube Let's play series. Well done it's looking great

Don't think just do

I recently reached a population 150.000.

Here's some random shots of the city by the time i breached the 150.000 wall:

 

Overview:

 

Downtown:

 

One of three railyards:

 

The second railyard:

 

The third railyard (main passenger station)

 

Thats it for now, untill next time!

Added a multi sport complex along one of the rivers:

It looks like a city somewhere in Utah.
Beautiful and realistic. I've seen so many "Dubai" cities, and they look fake and lacking culture and history.

Yours is one that has substance.

It looks like you are building a medium-sized city, and it looks pretty much done. Do you have plans to grow this into a large metropolitan? If not, there doesn't seem to be much left to be done. Some cities are just this way in real life.

[Robban040 1,091]

Thanks Libertyville!

The plan is to just keep on expanding the city until i get bored of it haha.

As you say, for a medium sized city its pretty much done. Guess I'll have to expand it to a metropolitan!

[Robban040 1,091]

Just three shots to show you the whole city (almost).

At the moment im working on the area shown in the bottom left corner in the first shot (more shots of this area coming up)

Great journal. I've tried to create a yacht club.

Can I ask you how you get the boats/yachts to flow on the water?

When I placed the yachts, they float above water. Thanks.

[Robban040 1,091]

Thanks Libertyville!

I think its because you are placing them to close to the piers/land. Try placing them abit more out on the water.

The city is looking amazing! What graphics mods are you using now?

[Robban040 1,091]

Here we go again, new city in progress!

Had to start on a fresh city due to the old one crashing after the patch.

I started with the airport/harbor area.

 

[Roadman20 601]

Looking mighty good here!

This is such and awesome city, well done man. Also if you could use the Dynamic Resolution right before you screen shot and Sharper Textures that would be awesome.

 

 

edit : also just realised this was my first actually comment since July,2009

I agree with that, there's a lot of Dubai stuff about, it's just not that interesting. 

Hope you get to finish the city!

[jmsepe 2,038]

Wow, the city looks very realistic. Loves the color correction used here.

[hbn 244]

Love what you've done. I really want to see more of those rails.

i like it the way it is. 

if you expand it into a metropolitan, it'll change the vibe. then basically a different kind of city.

i find that if i build a big city, i have to experiment with new things, or i will get bored with it. my city is full of different kinds of layout/transit experiments. i like how these form different types of neighborhoods. i'm playing using the Shady Strands map, and it offers great opportunities and varieties to play with.

You could keep it medium sized by building up the villages and things that necessarily are around your area. Or, you could sprawl more residential, try different techniques for each neighbourhood. :>

Some progress has been made during the last few days!:

Overview:

 

Part of the harbor:

 

A small part of the railyard:

 

Residential/commercial area, with the mail highway splitting the city in two:

Just stumbling into this for the first time and man, I'm just massively jealous. So impressive. Lots of plopping, but love the work you've done with everything. 

[Linoa06 1,374]

I admit, this is one of those CJs where I wish you would tell me the story of your city from an in-game perspective. There's so much detail, and it's an actually completed town by now, there's bound to be some great stories there ;p

Nice! I was trying to make a ferry terminal something like this, but ended up abandoning it. This makes me want to give it another go... I'd sure like to have some proper RoRo ferries and ramps though!
