Borger

[Neotrezz 7]

Hi, im Dominique (my real name). After a period of 2 years NON playing Simcity i thought, maybe there is some news around this game. Unfortunately there wasnt any news. But i kept my head up and tried to navigate to the good old Simtropolis website. Now, as i tell you that i havent seen the gray layout yet before . This website stimulated me to start re-installing the game. And after that, (4 days of downloading, installing plugins & experience the feeling of playing the game, im now (for the first time) in a position to 'report' in my city!!

I want to make a city, but i love to have an eye on all details. It has to be perfect! So after 4 hours of building and laying dozens of roads (in pauze mode) in the game this is the start of my city Borger. (i life in real life in a city called borger in the Netherlands  ).

Now, look at the first 2 pictures i have taken from my city. No there are no inhabitants yet but that should give you an signal of how i want to build my city. DetailS!! Perfect. Im going to the max of spend of $350,000 to pre-build things like highways, parks and other important things. When i have $150,000 left i start to build homes, shops, offices and of cours the dirty industry . It is very hard to Terraform the ground under the highway and avenues, but i think the result is great! No short 'going down' ways (1 block) before a tunnel. I like it as it is in real time. A long road going down smoothly to enter the tunnel. The same is what i did with the highway. Look good at pic #2 and you will see it goes from down (-3 level) to go under a bridge (an avenue) and after that it goes up again onto a dyk. Also look at pic #1 you can see how much work it is to build a (offramp) road like this.

I hope u will enjoy my pics.. in the future.
Pss: Dont blame me for my english, im dutch and didnt actualy learn it at school.. just from Internet.

Take a look, and i will soon update the section:

nice job with that top intersection thing!

[Equilibria 16]

I too like the look of that interchange, and I've never actually seen anyone raise a highway on an embankment like that before. Original and Impressive. Keep up the good work.

[Cjah 15]

You have really put alot of effort into this great CJ!

I am reminded of other great terraformers,but yes your interchange is pretty original and quite realistic aswell as very cool.I will keep my eyes open on this CJ.

 

Also good luck!

WOW! That is very detailed and i can't wait to see how it will look when there are buildings. Jut a recomendation but the scenary would look relly nice if you got the Cycledogg terrain MOD. I have it and it makes everything look a lot nicer even though it's just a bunch of grass. lol. Keep up the great work!

[Neotrezz 7]

Thanks man, i will take a look to find that MOD. The only problem is that i have to go to bed now. This game is very addictive. The only problem for me is that when i build a city i have to build abnormaly numbers of C$$'s .. I hope this time it will go better. If you or anybody else have some tips for me how to build, (with an example of course) you can put it here, i will read (and answer) it.

 

Thanks guys! this gives me even more inspiration to go on, and build patiently a very nice city!

[Neotrezz 7]

The only i find is some trees by cycledogg

Do you have a link? Thank you!

[CDI_spy 6]

What attracted me to the CJ is that I have a friend named Borger... but that's another story.

In terms of city layout, this seems to be one of those up-and-comer CJs that start off quick and that I'll have to keep up with...

 

Fantastic work up until now!

[Goin2Chicago 4]

Sorry for the confusion, here you go. https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?mode=files&filetype=Texture&Str=columbus%20textures%20%20for%20jeronijs%20mod . I do also recomend the tree mod you said you found.

[rooker1 4]

Wow, perfect city, eh?  Well it looks like a very good start to me.  I wait patiently for the next update.

awesome

btw, how do I get those extra middle lanes at intersections?

quote> In response to this here's ur solution: Well, u need to look for the Network Addon Mod or the NAM as it is known, in the modding files and download it. Now, dependin on the version of the game you've got, be it the US or European version, you need to install it properly so that the turnin lanes are on the correct side of the road. But...(dramatic pause)... don't believe the gettin the cars on the correct side of the road thing, because it's all *&%@!$ # and it doesn't work neway. Oh ya... to anyone else here, to use BATs, do u have to have the 3D Max thing? If u know, please provide a link to the exact place where I need to download the 3D MAx tool thing... Thanx... and well done to the guy who did the intersection thing...look's great....

[Neotrezz 7]

- Extra lanes at the intersections is all part of the NAM mod .  Click here to download.

 

Btw thanks for the link of the mod u talk about. . Does someone know if there is an Highway pieces set ? (like there is for Avenues, railroads, onewayroads & normal roads. I cant find it, while its very cool to make bridges with highways using this mod. (bridge pieces) 

 

I saw it in the Toronto topic i cant find any of those roads he used im looking for such bridge pieces:
