Y In Why

After a misterious tragedy that made sims want to move out of their region, they found a peacefull and nice place to live that they called Glass Board. The first settlement was reality and the first city has grown. Still afraid that the past events could follow the people, the mayor placed controls along the city limits, disguised as modern toll booths.

These are the first shots of this new city...

Although one of the greatests views in Y In Why, the Y Dam also has some problems... Many desperated sims, in the latest year, have putted an end to their lives jumping from the top. The mayor is planning to install something that could save this sad souls, like a taller wall. The price would be the lost of a beautifull view... but sims come first.

Many mothers lost their sons in the past events, and many still do. Voluntaries try to save what's left on the other region devastated by some evil mind. The Cemetery Peace Underneath was reformed and gained new space to honor these heroes.

Well, first CJ...
To build this city I'm using cheats for money only. The cemetery uses PEG's plugins, some of Marrast and others (that I really don't remember now, but would be nice if someone could identify them and put the proper links).
 
Sorry some bad english, I'm brazilian, hehe...
 
 
Many, many thanks to ImageShack for http://imageshack.us

    WOW!! This sure is a great great start to this city journal. This is really promising! I cannot wait for some more updates. I liked in your last update, that island with the Coit Tower and the busstop. I also like your water texture. Also, your suburban neighborhoods are amazing, you have a lot of parks and recreation in your cities, and that helps boost up the desirabilty I see. 19.gif Heck, I would live there anyday! 18.gif Awesome work!! 44.gif

    Here we are again, going on with the shots of the first city from Glass Board Region.

    Many years have passed since the first sims arrived, and though some sad stories are real, there is another side of Y In Why, and this nice and beautiful side is the answer to those who ask themselves Why in Y?.
     
    These first shots are a request from my first lady in Y, she asked me to put an overall of the cemetery and the dam.

    yinwhyydamoverall8rp.jpg
     
     
    And if you are looking for jobs or enterteinment, the city center is where you must go. Just crossing the Renegade Bridge, you'll find yourself driving The Ocho (many sims still wonder about this name 47.gif).
    yinwhywestochorenegadebridge3y.jpg
     
    yinwhyeastocho3zl.jpg
     
     
    As promised, the big dome, the great center, the only place where you can see, live, the Hyperblade World Championship (warning! violence and gore included!) and many, many shows, plus good restaurants, a inside nightclub and 5 stars hotel. All for those who want a 1st class service and don't want to sell their eyeballs for it.
    yinwhylightninghatarena8wv.jpg
     
     
    Crossing The Ocho, we find the Glowing Socks Bridge and beyond, the Laser Bull University and its neighbourhoods.
    yinwhympterminusuniversity8wl.jpg
     
    yinwhyuniversityneighbourhoods.jpg
     
    yinwhyuniversityneighbourhoods1.jpg
     
     
    Comming next: the other side of The Ocho and the experimental clean industry. Somebody said farms? And somebody said compact? Yeah!! 29.gif
     
    P.S.: Someone asked about the walls that I use along the highway... I found them, long ago, on the STEX, but didn't find today... maybe I looked in the wrong places... sorry.

    Another great update, I like the how everything seems to fit together so well. Where did you get that bridge that crosses over the highway in the third pic from the bottom? It looks good.

    Edit: Nevermind I found it.

    The controls that I talked about are ultra tech identification systems that analize every sim that enters or leaves the city, putting the register in an extensive data bank that helps federal bureaus to know what is happening, where and when it is happening. The Mayor spent a hell of money to install them.

     
    And a lot more of money was use to create a beautiful and efficient industry, were you can walk with your children  without using gas masks to breathe. This means compact and undeground facilities, advanced technologies and experimental industries.

    Here you can see the advanced farms, their facilities extend to 50meters deep.

    A little closer view.

    Following, the distribution, administration and others facilities of the industrial sector.

    Great couple of updates. Nice green neighbourhoods and good use of the sunken highway walls. But what the rural builder in me interests most: where did you get those farms?

    Keep it on!
