It's nice, and there's custom content. But, it seems there is 2 or 3 buildings that are the same. You have too much repetition. try demolishing some of those buildings and putting parks and restaurants in their place. Or, demolish them and wait until a different building pops up. By doing that, you'll only have only one building for each kind.

Also, if you want to get rid of the SC4 menu you can click on the square with the little line at the bottom. The whole thing will disappear.

You have very many nice pictures, and it shows that you have spent some time on your city. Night shots always look nice too, don't they?

Try using the "Tastyzots" Cheat to get rid of those pesty "Long Commute" Icons. To take full size pics, minimize the menu (Like NMUSPIDEY said) and then click CTRI+SHIFT+S. Also turn off the UDI buttons. Other than that GREAT city!

Yeah, I didnt really think about taking full size pics. But thanks for the advice you guys!!
@Lionstar, Im not sure what exact link I used, but I will tell you that I searched stadium on the ST EXchange.
How can I get rid of all those maxis buildings? I know I could download some off the EXchange but the ones I look at are not impressive and usually take a while to be built in my cities.

I like the idea, and some fantastic realistic neighborhoods. I would recommend a slope mod however. The angle coming up to one of those bridges is brutal man. And also maybe flatten out the area if you're going to build a motorway interchange. 4/5

[font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][size=2]@tjordan: theres a mod that prevents maxis buildings from ever building in your city! just make sure to have lots of STEX stuff so you dont have a city with lots of repeated custom content.
