@escilnavia: Many Thanks :)

@MamaLuigi945: Rofl, :lol: Thanks so much Charles! Being compared to TD is a milestone for me! :D

@k50dude: Thank you very much :)

@simfreak1998: Thanks Chip :)

@evanm1487: I’m pleased to hear that :)

@keder: Haha, why thank you!! :)

@hahei: The Tropics attract me :), Thanks for the comment!

@NMUSpidey: Yes, I completely agree, the work that must have gone into creating this kind of custom content must have been extremely hard and tiresome, but the results are stunning, and I’m glad the SC4D and ST communities shared them :). I try to update as often as possible, but sometimes I find it hard with real life and school getting in the way. I did not plan to take this long, but I’m glad I can finally get this one out. Thanks for Commenting! :yes:

@yarahi: Thanks! This Mosaic was a pain (I had to retake the pictures; a small portion was missing from the middle). But in the end, I felt proud of the result, and I’m glad you like it as well :)

Quick Mentions:

Sorry about the long delay, I had to attend to school work and other stuff. However, since I found some free time over the holidays, I decided it was a great time to work on this. The North Side of Trauadina is mostly a vast desert. I visited Las Vegas during the holidays, and I had a great time, so this is a little inspired by that (you’ll see what I mean). I also used many building styles from the city of Dubai and other Middle East areas. Anyway, Enjoy!

10:00 P.M-Residential District: Here can be seen a large hotel looming over smaller shops and apartment complexes.

11:00 P.M- East Point Mall: East Point Mall is 3 miles east of the city center. It’s closing for the night.

12:00 A.M- Residential District: Large Apartments are placed near a small canal. The city hospital is also located here.

1:00 A.M-Commercial District: This part of the city is very much alive, even at this time.

7littletaipei.jpg

2:00 A.M-Commercial District: More have gone to sleep. It is not rare to see a few cars driving about at this time, but it is not common either.

8okthacenteratnight.jpg

3:00 A.M-The City Strip (Near East Point Mall): This portion of the city is filled with casinos and hotels. Even at 3:00 A.M, we manage to see a car passing down the road.

6:00 A.M-The City Strip: Many have already got an early start. The sun is rising over the horizon (in the direction of Augusta International).

11downtownmorning.jpg

7:00 A.M-South of the Strip: We see a small business tower here. Few have the guts to get here this early, and most show up at around 9:00.

8:00 A.M-Casino on Strip: The SGM Grand we see here is already beginning service.

135sgm.jpg

9:00 A.M-Residential District Outskirts: Close to the beach we see a nice Hotel and a pond behind it. The Sun is shining much more brightly now.

13watersidehotel.jpg

10:00 A.M-East Point District: There is a big game later this afternoon. Fans are already piling in hoping for good parking. Hotel guests at the Poseidon Hotel get a great free view.

14biggame.jpg

11:00 A.M-East Point District: This district is also home to many small apartment buildings and shops.

15bluetowersatedge.jpg

12:00 P.M-Commercial District(Near East Point): Construction resumes on the Coral Towers. This hotel will have two towers (North and West). Plans reveal that the West Tower will be the 7th tallest building in Trauadina.

12:30 P.M-Coastline: A ship passes Trauadina’s West Coastline.

17cruispassingblueheron.jpg

1:00 P.M-Suburbs: A recently constructed elevated avenue is proving to handle North and South bound Traffic much better than the previous 2 lane road.

18elevatedavenue.jpg

1:30 P.M-Suburbs: There are some low wealth medium density buildings in this area.

19oddlensflareasiacente.jpg

2:00 P.M-Suburbs: A small market place is surrounded by residential buildings.

21roadstipmarket.jpg

2:30 P.M-Suburbs: In the middle, plans for a future apartment are being carried out slowly.

22templealley.jpg

3:00 P.M-Suburbs: The Dune Towers look beautiful at this time of day, serene and calm. However, a Dust Storm has been broadcasted today. Many have known for a week, but not as wealthy residents who have not been informed (due to lack of cable television) are rushing to their families before the storm hits. The game has luckily ended by now and fans should be able to reach home before the storm.

23roadstrip2apartments.jpg

3:30 P.M-Highway: A few who had not been notified until now are struggling to reach their home.

24highwayintersectionex.jpg

4:00 P.M-Slums: The Storm blows in, wreaking havoc. Its effect on the city is much less compared to the slums.

25slumz.jpg

5:00 P.M-Outskirts of Trauadina: It seems a fresh new layer of sand covers the old one, a beautiful sight.

Another storm will blow in soon, they are very common in this area, but that’s life here in Trauadina.

Yes, I echo the sentiments above. Excellent work! Do you touch up the photos before posting them? They are a LOT better than mine, so I'm assuming some extra work went into making them something more than normal.
