Archive SimTropolis: Maxtor - 3 February 2008
Note: Text written in this lettertype are comments from me looking back to my old CJ. The rest comes from the original post.
Maxtor
The splitted city
Maxtor is a large city with about 100,000 residents and 70,000 jobs. The west side is a rich and green area, while the eastern part is a poor area. All of that is found in the history of the city.
History
Maxtor-east was funded by the indians about 1500 years ago. It was no more than a village. In 1630, the dutch builded a harbour at the west side of the Kablaski river. Around that harbour, a city was built. In 1887, the two cities united into one. After World War Two, the city splitted in two. The west part belonged to West-Imaginia, while the east part belongd to East-Imaginia. There where no bridges, and the only way to cross the river was by a ferry line, wich was very expensive due the border control. In 1990 the city reunited.

The ferry line with new bridges
Obviously I needed a slope mod; Look at the slopes near the bridges!
High-rises at the west side of the river
Hey, what do we see here ar the highway? The very first LRM lights! Yay! Currently, this motorway has been converted to a RHW-6C, my very first RHW-6C I ever made, which I showed in my first UDI Movie over at SC4D.
Economic center in the south
Again, the buildings near the motorway are removed.
The enourmous forrests in Maxtor
My first try with roundabouts and some custom lotting (the forrest lots).
South side of Eastern Maxtor.
Look at the signs. Those are custom made Imaginian signs version 1. Today, I'm using version thre.
