Nice work everyone, there are some beautiful cities here.
Gryphonite, I love the huge farms in your reigional picture. I'll check out your CJ.

 

I wanted to show a couple of regional shots from the same region I showed way back on page two.
I'm still trying to stay away from too many orthogonal roads, but it's easy to fall back into the grids. But I find I am getting better at gently curving roads the further I go.

By following features such as rivers and ridges, I have tried to blur the seams of the city tiles.

I have also tried to have the residential areas bleed out to further blur the edges.

Great work!

May I introduce you to Bugingen:

Some 19th century appartment house in the outskirts

The area around central station that is not in the center of town. The railway line separates residential and commercial from industrial:

The center of the town: The Palace

The center of spirtual life: the catholic and protestantic church

Hope you enjoy my humble halfpence in this topic ...

The following shot is from my CJ (see the links in my sig), its a great shot in my opinion as it uses some amazing custom lots, to great affect.

Nardo69 - I really like your use of Oppie's Canal Set

nirgal23 - Nice job using Jeronij's trail set.

 

kavselj - There is absolutely nothing wrong with your city.  I really like your use of trees.  The area looks very green and inviting.

Nardo69, your city's aesthetics are nothing short of amazing!! Canals really do make an impression; maybe I should download the canal pack.

[Nardo69 51]

Thanx for your comments ...

I usually use Kanals only if I can use them as mayor elements of the town - in this town the Kanal is the main axis.

When you download oppie's kanal set go to www.simszone.de (yes it is german but you should find the download section ) and download the Uferwege, too - I think they are from Andreas who is to be found here too)

They perfectly match each either

psteverific,

Can we get a closeup of some of those roads? They look wonderful in the regional view, but I'm curious how they look in city view.

Thanks!

hehe, i know theres nothing wrong, but when i look at other cities i have that feeling that mine could be soooo much better :D

[xiziz 11]

Some quite nice pics here, though i dont have anything to show yet that isnt in any of my CJ's, so i wont be posting any pictures, but feel free to visit them...
Shintose: Rural, story evo CJ
Fwandrei: Smalltown, development cj(disscontinued because of hddcrash, but the cj is still there)
Stondon: Prettey old(1yr) but quite a few skyscrapers and heavy development.
Stockholm Project... well, dont go there, its horrible...

Just to sum up... Note though, Shintose is the only one that is beeing updated, all others have been lost in Hardrive crashes... Do a Search for Xiziz or the Cj name, or press the links in my sig(only Fwandrei & Shintose)

Cheers

Sure, I'd be happy to show you some close ups. Up close, they are by no means perfect, but once there is developpment around them, it becomes more forgiveable, depending on the angle and the type of road.

May I introduce you to Freysel:

I hope I don't bore you but same region different town ... this time no canals but an Island with a lot of agrar - had the German island Rugen in mind but Rugen is way bigger - it is Germany's biggest Island ...

Anyway - here are the pics:

The small town on the continent. The railway line and the main road to the Island are beginning here.

The main road from the continent crosses thru this small town

The main town on the island

and a rural detail ...

sometimes I think I should open a cj but then I see Sculpting Columbia River, Norwich, Digby, Crystal junctions and other real great cj, and then I hide my poor wanna-bes ...

[FavreKev04 13]

Okay, this was my first cool one. I usaly just make a scaled city. So I hope you like this.

This is my favorite shot from my CJ Goldenrod Plains....

Johnsonville

This is a small suburb community on a small map, connected to a larger city of 37,000 by a light rail line and a commuter rail line. The community was built upon an already existing town of dirty industry and farming - which was mostly preserved. The residential area was greatly improved with better urban design.

Some features:
-jobs - the existing industrial and farming jobs were actually expanded, not sacrificied for low-density sprawl
-a highly-used lightrail AND commuter rail system connecting to nearby Arcturus and Stronson Beach, with thousands of daily riders
-a well landcaped central plaza
-beautiful, walkable streets that residents take advantage of
-no crime, no pollution!
-all electricity is produced by a series of wind turbines on the ridge above the town. It's expensive, but has no pollution.

Here are the finished pictures showing off this beauty in urban design:





Low income apartments help to add to the vitality of the streetscape:

High density slums

Here's some classic lower-class livin':







Manhana Bay - a bayside Resort Community

Guess where all the middle class & rich people live? Far, far away from the ones above...

That thing is HUGE! How did you get your region so big? I have worked with the Map Editor, or whatever that program is called, so I know how to make a map so large, but how do you get them into SC4? That is REALLY an impressive region.
