Toronto

[profecy 2]

WELCOME to Profecy's replica City Journal on my hometown of  ,  I will be aiming for about a 90% accuracy rate, I would love to do a 100% accuracy level, but as we all know there are endless limitations in this game which will prevent us from getting it so accurate, this is my second Toronto as some of you guys might know, i started over because I the map(s) on the STEX isnt very accurate to my liking, so i will be terraforming my own as I go along to make it more accurate, so without further adieu, lets begin.......

 

 

 the skyline from Centre Island

i started in soutwest Etobicoke, here u see Alderwood and Long Branch, and as u might nothice that im terraforming the map as i go along to make it as accurate as possible

 

heres my progress,(which took a real long time i might add lol)

 

a region view of South Etobicoke

 

a map of South Etobicoke

 

a preview of the 401/AllenExwy, wit the Spadina Subway

 

heres the view from the 401  Eastbound Express lanes

 

 

 

 

 

theses two pics are how i plan on doin the 401 and 427(south of the 401 to the QEW/Gardiner) interchanges and below is the Express Collector interchange(i kno its pretty shady but this the best i and make it,

 

Ok das it, untill sunday(feb 5th) guys, i hope to finish the streets up to Bloor St and from Etobicoke creek to the Humber river......

 

P.S i need feedback, i will need the e-support  because this will be alot of work, but i am up for it, so my fellow SimCity lovers...ENJOY!!

How in the world......

 

MY goodness that is amazing!!!!!!!

 

Your freeways are perfect!!!!!

 

Is that a part of the NAM or are you some modding god?

 

Oh and I do know about split highway,but I could never get the el highways with side highways to look like yours.....

 

Great job and this is the best Toronto yet!

[Zelgadis 638]

Dude, you skipped Parkdale! I wanna see my house.

But those freeways are amazing. Pity that the pictures are so dark. But I've never seen anything like that before. Must have a couple of different mods working together, I reckon.

ISF

[your_adress_here 11]

Next time try taking your pictures during the day (in SC4, of course! ).

Other than that, it's really good, I love the highways. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

[TheJerseyDevil73 13]

Hey just popping in to see another recreation city. I was wondering about seeing another Toronto.
I'm flattered that you restarted so you can step up the accuracy.
If you have any questions or need tips just catch ask on my Edmonton CJ. There are alot of things I have learned and a few steps you should take at first if your going for great accuracy.
By the looks of it so far you know what your doing and then some.
nice transportation mod by the way ;o).

[profecy 2]

its all the NAM boys, my hats off the those modders who made it possible, and @ zelgadis, dont worry buddy, i get there in a couple weeks, lol, dis gon take me a while, cuz i want it to b accurate to the T, n thanx TJD, i adore ur Edmonton man...so ill come to u if i need help for sure

**i highlighted those highways pics, so they should b better now**

[Mikeaut1 261]

Great work with those transportation networks!! It's really great, I would like to see this journal continue!

[CDI_spy 5]

Yay!  An amazing run of re-creation CJs are popping up, my favorite kind!    Fantastic work on your multi-highways, and good luck in re-creating Canada's largest city! 

[Nexis 1]

Wow i really like how this is coming out.

[nycsc4 5,250]

[mudspreader 0]

This will be cool to watch. Phenomenal Phreeways!! Acurate recreations just amaze me. Can't wait for more.

[seemurray2 21]

That looks really good so far!  And I like those highways too!

[Sproxxx 0]

Good thing I found this or I would have kept looking at your previous CJ and wonder why you weren't updating. Can't wait to see this done. Good stuff

[GreekMan 246]

Are you goinging to have downtown Toronto?

[AddisonWesley 2]

Wow, an accurate Toronto region - I hope you can pull this off.  Everything looks good so far.  How'd you get from Etobicoke to Yorkdale!?

[HunterIrked 1]

wow thats amazing, can you get a pic of the area around Lawrence and Avenue Rd. when the city is developed? my house is around there...

[profecy 2]

UPDATE TIME

@ GreekMan, yes i do plan on havin downtown, in my other Toronto i started downtown, but to me i find it makes more sense to start from one end of the lake, preferably Etobicoke....if u wanna c the pics of my earlier downtown, check it out @ this link  https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=73222

@ AddisonWesley i didnt get to Yorkdale yet, lol I sed preview, because one FAQS i noticed about Toronto journals is how the 401 going to be done, so i thought ima answer it b4 its ask, so save u guys da time...

 

@HunterIrked, no prob shall do, but u gotta remind tho, but i wont be there for a couple months....lol, Toronto is a pretty big in simcity format...lol....

 

@gomesjustin, sure no prob, where bouts do u live btw

to my fellow Torontonians, If ive done and area where you live, and you see some descrepancies, tell me, n i'll try to fix it,

 

comments appreciated, critism appreciated even more

[nycsc4 5,250]

looks great so far, very accurate.  can't wait to see more!!

[spa 968]

Hey. I was watching your old Toronto journal so I'll be following your second attempt. Your map looks good. Samuel Smith Park and the other green space that stretches out into the lake looks quite true to the real map. I'll be interested to see what you do with the Toronto Islands.

Oh and being a Torontonian you might find this amusing.

[profecy 2]

[Sproxxx 0]

Wow, your doing an awesome job so far. I only wish you could do more north so I could see my place, but what can you do.

Keep up the good work

[E.J.C 9]

well well

 

that sure looks nice

 

real great work on your multiple highways, they look great with that subway in the middle!

 

 

good luck & I will be following this CJ

[profecy 2]

thanx 4 the comments guys........lol @ Sproxxx where do you live, its Newmarket rite

[GreekMan 246]

I didn't know. You were starting west of Toronto.

So as you move to the downtown area you will create the landscape as you go. Is that correct?

 

Since you start with roads and stuff, how will you pay for your expensisin each square?

 

GreekMan

[profecy 2]

@GreekMan , das correct, landscape as i lay roads, this will insure a much higher level of accuracy, i will assume ur last question is about how i will be payin my expenses, well i use daeley 's Click For cash money lots

 

here lil update, i started on the Humber river the valley up to Bloor St., now officially all streets Bunded by the Humber to Etobicoke Creek, and Bloor St. to the lake are completed except for the Markland Wood area(im havin a real hard time wit dat area, ill probally ask TJD, and see if he could help me)

 

 

 

here's the Markland Wood area highlighted, it look nothing like mine

 

[Sproxxx 0]

lol! Your so right!

How did you guess I was from Newmarket?!?

[Fabiocb 1]

this is a big project I hope it goes till the end, and so far I can tell you, it looks awesome.

 

keep on the work
