City of Eden

Welcome to the City of Eden Municipality Center!

I hope you will enjoy this little tour around the city. A city founded by the Arthmeric pilgrim Paulus Andreus in the year 800 bc under the name Edenbury. Much has changed since, but the importance of the forest remains the same. This is a so called 'Green City' and I'm sure you will understand why in a minute. Today I have chosen to show you a few neighbourhoods in central City of Eden and I'm sure it'll be a blast!

Edenoldtown.png

This is the Edenbury Old Town. Only a few buildings still remain from when the town was founded some 1200 years ago. The Eden Temple of Beauty is one of them (located on the cemetery grounds in the lower right corner of the picture) and this is where it all started. The Old Town also houses the old Edenbury Train Station, the Church of Captivity and the big box-shaped building in the middle which is the Edenbury Middle School.

Then there is the commercial centre of Eden City. East Hampton! This is where you go to get that local venison delicacy your taste buds are always craving for. After the meal you can always take a walk around the block for a stop at one of the casinos or pay a visit to the local tavern. Some of the notable buildings and sites on the picture are from left to right, the Madison & Son law firm tower, followed by the Hampton Central Station, the Busker's Park, the Hampton Aquarium and the Bank of Eden City tower.

This is Brandine, which used to be an official Ville before merging into the City of Eden Municipality. It is an old ville situated at the shore Lake Eden. It is unfortunately known being a home of the lower class but still gets a lot of attention thanks to the Museum of Eden that is located here. That would be the large, yellow building on the picture. Because there are no more places of interrest, we're moing on to the next picture!

Ah, yes this is the Eden City Hall. An architectural masterpiece of the 21st century for sure! It is one of the main targets for tourism along with the Beachwalk in the background. You'd think it would be weird to name the place 'Beachwalk' due to the lack of beach, but the Municipality Council obviously didn't care back in 1996 when it was built.

Pennbrooke.png

Not far from the City Hall you can find the financial district of Pennbrooke. This is a newly founded Ville with big economic importance for the area. Here you can find multiple shopping streets and the famous Chapel of Legend. The Pennbrooke College of Art can be seen in the picture.

Here lives my mom! It is the little village of Palmero. It is the location of the Haley Ayden Memorial Hospital and the Palm Tree Inn.

The Woodland Cemetery is not to be confued with the Woodland Municipality. This is within the borders of Pennbrooke Ville and is an old cemetery simply covered by trees. The church-like building is not a church at all, but the infamous, haunted Resurrection Chapel.

mistlevinegardens.png

This quaint neighbourhod goes under the name Mistlevine Gardens and is best known for the Eden Tivoli, Green's Zoo and the Church of the Brave. It is the very north-west of central Eden City and is commonly referred to as 'the other side' due to its location on the opposite side of the intercity green belt of Eden Greens, seen from most other parts of Eden City.

lawrencevilleofbyrne.png

Lawrenceville and the old Ville of Byrne. This is where you go to find cheap clothes and accessories on sale. Lawrence gets its name from the Lawrence Castle at the top of the picture.

everhowl.png

Here is the very east outpost of central City of Eden, Everhowl! It is a brand new neighbourhood and as you can see, it is still being built. Here you can see the grand Thumblin' Dice Hotel & Casino as well as the Everhowl College of Music.

I believe that was all for today. Sure hope I have at least inspired some of you to build more ECO friendly cities in the future! The next update will be the Gardens of Eden!

Just a suggestion: It would be cool if you could use a road tunnel and slope mod so that the roads and railroad tracks look more realistic. I think that would be beneficial :)

Another suggestion: Don't make screenshots when the game is paused, to avoid thoose ugly yellow band along the edges of every pic

You know, this is one instance where the lack of smoothness and terraforming really doesn't bother me at all! I love that you have *some* skyscrapers and a heck of a lot MORE trees. It's very nice. Great stuff!

As per Skimbo's request up there, I do believe there is a mod available somewhere on the STEX that will completely remove said yellow box while paused. Although after searching for it just now I'm not longer quite so sure...

EDIT: HAHAH! I FOUND IT! https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/18680-smp-yellow-pause-thingy-remover/

@SP - I know it would be better with a slope mod. I'm simply too lazy to look for it or I just forget about it while on my gaming computer.

@Skimbo - Ye, that was a big mistake. Not so much because of the yellow border, but because all the traffic doesn't show when the game is paused. There is actually a whole lot of traffic in this city. Especially trams, trains and buses.

@NMUS - Thanks a million mate! Getting the trees there was a total pain! Having to place them one by one took me forever. I only wish I could find a brush tool for that particular forest type. It would probably cut my city building time in half or better.


I am always open for more constructive critisism and tips, so please keep them coming!
