Building Chicago in SC4

[tonylty 45]

I've been playing SC4 for 15 years, recently started using NAM to create real complicated interchanges so common in American cities. I think Chicago is maybe the easiest city to be replicated in the game as the blocks go in well-planned square shapes. Now I'm working on this city, with all the great works and models created by you fellows on simtropolis. Thank you for all, and hoping to finish a vivid replicate of Chicago as much as I can.

Current progress. I'm starting from near west side and the heart of Chicago, then I will do the south side, north side and finally downtown.

I made two iconic sunken highways of Chicago, Kennedy Expy and No.290 Expy, and theif intersection Jane M. Bryne Interchange using NAM. Railway authentic as well.

Goose Island, still working on it.

I'm form China and never really been to Chicago, so please give any opinion to make my work more vivid. Will keep updating my work.

Definitely looks vivid, great job! Would you happen to have replicated other cities? I'm looking to build New York City but cannot seem to find examples when using the website's search bar.
