Rianstedt and Rural Surroundings
"Once again, you show us a great update! There are only two things I could complain of:
1) The coastline you show us on the 8.09 pic is, in my opinion, screaming for some seawalls or retaining walls, or rocks or breakwaters... You know what I mean, but maybe it's just me that I can't stand seeing water touching bare terrain...
2) Farms facing the diagonal railroad... I know this is something that cannot be completely solved, but some rural players usually hide this kind of things with Mayor Mode trees or this kind of stuff...
Just a couple suggestions, the rest, perfect as usual!"
--- TekindusT
1) Well, there are some cities where this is the case and I would be lieing if I would say that making seawalls is easy for me. Most of the time, I'm a bit too lazy doing that...
2) That's a bit of a downside of SimCity being grid-based, but I've learned to live with it. I usually put some trees there, but I think I forgot to do this this time.
Anyways, thank you for you comment!
"Wow another awesome update! (though that's to be expected )
I just have to ask two questions though.
1) How'd you get the trees on the SAM streets?
2) That GLR base replacement mod, where can I find it?
I would ask a third but I know not to ask you about the catenaries"
--- Frdm920
1) That's the Street Side Mod for the SAM I found on the LEX.
2) Someone on SC4D linked the mod, which was on some Japanese site...
"I have a few questions, hopefully not to bug you -
Do you use SPAM for your farmlands or anything else?
What terrain mad/plop props are shown in this and your last post?
What kind of retaining walls is accompanied to the rail trench?
Thanks, Guy."
--- grstudios
I do not use the SPAM. I do use a terrain mod, namely CPT's Italia Terrain Mod. The retain walls are from Jeronij in a package I found on the LEX.
"Amazing Scenery! The last picture is my favorite."

"Another Fantastic Update. I always like your transitions from one type of development to the another."
--- EyeofMobius
"Nice to see you back - I love the rail running through the towns. Very realistic."
--- Benedict

"I just discovered this CJ today. Very cool stuff! It's all enjoyable to look at, and I especially like the road geek work!
It's also nice to see a CJ with a Dutch flavor. I went to The Netherlands for the first time last December on a business trip, and I really enjoyed it. Your CJ reminds me of when I was there.
Keep up the great work!"

"@spiffus: So did I, nice job, does look very dutch doesn't it."
--- escilnavia
Thank you all! (Oh, and it's actually not dutch styled. Skyscrapers and hills don't fit in a dutch landscape 
)
After a few months of abscence (mainly due to the work on the Euro RHW Texture Replacement Mod), Schellingen-Stadt is back. This time, we take a visit in another suburb, Rianstedt. Rianstedt was the last tiles I've finished of the central city in the Region. And since it's my first update in months, why not take a visit here? So let's get started.
We start on the freeway A12, which goes trough a rural landscape here. It may look a bit wide, but this freeway leads to larger cities further away, like Boll and Bammsmuenster.
Just an overpass over the A12. This road connects Moelendorf with Arminheim.
Moelendorf is just a little, boring village somewhere around Schellingen. But hey, it's still a place to live...
Arminheim is not much different...
The B14 is the old road to Boll and Bammsmuenster and it got replaced by the A12. Nowadays the road has a more local function, but still it remains a main route in the region...
Wandering around on the farmlands...
Here the B14 enters the agglomeration of Schellingen-Stadt, at Rianstedt to be exact...
The city has some characteristic appartment blocks spread throughout this part of the city (it was a pain to plop them, because they kept on abandoning...):
But this suburb has also a dirty side; some industry...
The A12 goes right in between the two city suburbs Am Schelling and Rianstedt.
To conclude, some random pics from the suburbs...
And a bonus image: the region view as it is today:
Best,
Maarten
