Raccoon City

[jeronij 13]

Hi Dr,

I do also prefere the second bridge layout. But what about some more modern looking walls . Just a suggestion of course  !!!

I really loved the pics in the last update with those lovely and accurated parks  !!! Keep the outstanding work on !!!

[Dr. Neitchskrimfrauwnmoya 7]

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the lack of updates, I'm having some serious RLS issues.

w00t!! Page 5!!!


dhoppeii and jeronij : thanks a lot. Yeah, I'm better chosing the second bridge layout, it'll be easier to do than the frist one. More modern walls? I dunno. There are those japanese walls that I've not still installed, maybe I should try them with it.

BTW jeronij, even if I've not posted often in your CJ, I'm trying to following it (so much pages), the last time I checked it I think I was near page 55 or something .

 

13.1- I've installed probably the best mod ever, the Cycledogg terrain mod. Look at how nice the city is looking now :



13.2- I took the time to destroy all the old forests and replace them all with the new outstanding trees



13.3- With that said, we'll move today to a new area. In fact, if you take a look at the old picture 4.3 , what will be shown is the area between the industrial district and the residential rowhoomes. After a lot of thinking, I finally decided to dedicated this area to shopping centers. Here is an overview of the area (this picture is in fact two pictures) :




13.4- Notice the IMAX cinema that was built at the busy intersection.



13.5- Like always, here are close-ups of the picture above area.



13.6-



13.7-



13.8-



13.9-



13.10- Same area of picture 2.3



13.11- Finally, here is a bigger overview of all the area




Hope you like it.
BTW, don't expect another update before at least two weeks. Stupid end of semester

Yea, I forgot to say that the seven shops that are part of the Plop-a-Shop pack from Simgoober were, obviously, plopped. However, everything else that can be seen on the pictures were grown.

very nice CJ, and CD's mod does make it look even better. i'm gonna download that mod first thing when i get my new computer. anyway, great region

[jacqulina 162]

very pretty update

[sloppet 3]

great updates!! keep up the greet work!

[Dr. Neitchskrimfrauwnmoya 7]

Like I said in my previous update, there won't be a new update until at least one week. However, for those who may think that the waiting is too long, I've found a picture I've not posted. There is nothing new shown, it's mostly just eye candy.

I've spent the whole day writing an exciting lab report. I've only completed half of it but it's already 16 pages long . I think I'm gonna explose, there is too much work to do. I had to share this with all of you lol .

I've not opened SC4 since one week and I'm impatient to do it. However, I must go through all the work I have to do. Still one week to do. After that school is finished and it's party time hehe.

Sorry, but i would like to know how you do these incredible bridges with a smooth slope! When i do bridges, it makes a sharp slope that is not realistic....

P.S. Your city is incredible!!!

[Dr. Neitchskrimfrauwnmoya 7]

Good night guys and girls (it's 2 AM down here)!


First thing : Cjah, Amryai200, jacqulina, simfanheatermayor, aleking and sloppet, thank you numerous times for your support!

Magtheridon, thanks. For making bridges like mine, you need two important mods. The first one is the  bridge height mod (everyone should have this one) : it'll make possible to build bridges witout any slopes at the entrance. The second one is the tunnel and slope mod by BigRedFish, it will make slope telorances for networks a lot more higher, so you will get nice smooth slopes instead of those ugly steep ones that come with the default settings. There is also a  newer version made by CSX but I prefer the older one.






Okay, so now college is (finally) finished and I learned today (well, yesterday, because it's 2AM but it's still today in my head even if we are in fact tomorrow ) that I have a job for this summer and that I'll start working next Monday . So I have a whole week of free time with nothing to do (oh boy! it feels so good to have absolutly nothing to do! after all the work I went throught during the previous weeks). So there will be a couple of real updates this week. I've also done a lot of work in Raccoon City, the population just reached 100,000.



Almost one month and a half ago, I've said I was working on this area :




I've totally finished this area since a couple of weeks but never had the time to show it. So here is the final result :



Because it's late and I'm tired, I'll post all the pictures of the complete area tomorrow. It was just a small teaser to show that I'm not dead and that I'm still working on the city

[jacqulina 162]

i do love your night pics,great update

[Dr. Neitchskrimfrauwnmoya 7]

Okay, so the time came to discover in details the area shown in my last post.


14.1- Here is the same area but with the final touches (those CD trees do wonders!)



14.2- From another angle



14.3- Moving East from the area



14.4-



14.5- Night pics are always nice



14.6- At the south-east of the other area



14.7-



14.8-



14.9- Close-ups are always nice too



14.10- As always, here is an overview of the area shown today.




Enjoy, next update will be in a few days!!

That lools great! I can't wait for an update.

[mentarman 14]

I'm liking this city. Can't wait until it grows and grows. Nice work.

Thanks for your useful informations, Your city is very amazing!

[PhilsCafe 8]

That CD mod looks really great in your city. However, great updates. I like the feel of that area above: It looks quite urban but with a lot of trees. Very lively pictures...

Some really good updates, Raccoon City looks good!

[Cjah 15]

It's been a month?

Well any updates?

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Even if the last update was a month ago, it still is a good city. Come on, update.

[Codythemonkey 0]

Nice update i love the city keep the pics coming!

[Dr. Neitchskrimfrauwnmoya 7]

eh

Thanks for your support! I hope you're not too much angry at me because I stopped updating.

Yeah, I know it's been a long time since the last update, I'm sorry for that. But don't be afraid, the CJ isn't dead and the city is still there and a lot of backup copies too.

However, the CJ is on the ice for the summer. I wanted to do this announcement before, and I should have done it, but never took the time for it. But now that you bring back the CJ from the bottom of the forums, I'll do it eh. I know it's not nice for the fan who followed my CJ but I'll try to forgive me .

So here is the deal, represented by a little formula :
(Pentium 3, 1.1 Ghz + 320 Mb RAM) + (Large city map + over 700 Mb of plug-ins) = The laggiest thing ever.

At the beginning it wasn't that but and I could tolerate it but now, waiting 10 min to get the city to load and playing at 0.1 FPS with multiple freezing times isn't fun at all . So I finally lost interest in it, but only for the moment!

I said it's on the ice for the summer because I'm currenty working and I'm planning to buy a new computer at the end of the summer with the money. I've already earned over 1500$ in one month so I'll be able to buy a high performance computer.

I've not built anything in Raccon City since almost 2 months, but there are a couple of areas that weren't shown yet here.

What I do now, in SC4, is that I play with my very first cities (I've kept all the cities I've made since I have SC4), which were really, really bad, and I try to make them better and imporve them by rebuilding and replanning the transport layout and the zoning. It's in fact very fun because it's like in real life, where everything is already built and you have to find solutions to problems. Those cities were made in 2003 and the more I play them the more I realize how an idiot I was back at this time and how bad my planning was . I also see how much I've improved my city building skills over the time, it's like a retrospection!

I also build small cities and relax at how the game run smoothly with almost no lag on them .

Anyway, until I get my new computer, there are 2 possible options.
1) I take pictures of the areas of Raccoon City that weren't shown yet. However, the quality may be less higher than the previous updates because I don't want to take a lot of pictures and do small adjustments I usually do before taking the final pictures, like plopping some trees there and there and waiting that there is a lot of traffic in the streets when taking the pictures. The lag is just too horrible.

2) I show  pictures of what I'm  currently working on. But his will disrupt the CJ because those pictures won't have any links with Raccon City.

So you decide, give me suggestions, I'm opened to them.
Thanks a lot again for your support and sorry for the long wait!

[mentarman 14]

Well Dr. N, best of luck. I like this journal and hope it can get underway again soon.

[PhilsCafe 8]

Why not starting another CJ with your current work (I'm curious, but as you said, it maybe disturbs the flow of your city).
