Here's those replies waiting to be answered right here! From here, you'll know the behind-the-sences from my work and reasons. Enjoy!

Replies: Updates #1-7


Update #1

buildsolid: Thanks!

feliwi: Thanks. But the seawalls part. I just like to keep some environment in all of my cities. So that way, it wouldn't be a jungle of buildings and pavment.

tankman: Mabey in my slums. I might just add them.

jigsaw: Thanks! In due-time, seawalls might just come.

colonel1: Thanks! I just resized or skewed the picture.


Update #2

ShultzCity: Thanks! I just download TONS of asian buildings to keep it from repeating like maxis buildings. That's why I used a mod from BSC to get rid of those maxis garbage.

mightygoose: Thanks!

tankman: Thank-you.

colonel1: Thanks.


Update #3

tankman: Thanks!

feliwi: Thanks for your constant comments!

colonel1: Try "GIMP", it's a mirror of photoshop.


Update #4

tankman: Thanks.

feliwi: Some of those houses you find them at Somy's. But the ones that were 1x3 or 1x4. (Can't remember...) I downloaded from the STEX. Search SOMY and it should come up. If not, I really don't remember... Try going to the Asian BAT room and go to those links / sites and check on some Japanese BATs. Trust me, it takes a while to find some decent buildings that are not Sci-fi.


Update #5

Nothing.. Nada.. Zero...


Update #6

Retep Molinari: Yep. It's SC3KU.

Tomasneto: Thanks!


Update #7

feliwi: Thanks! Watch for more!


Behind-the-sences!

Now my work might not be good or better than so and so... (Not to mention any names.) But at-least it has something.

Slums


To have a slum. You're going to download Frogface's slums kits. (NO MIDDLE-EAST BATS. THEY DON'T FIT IN WITH THE SURROUNDS).

Try the use of industiral buildings. They can lower and kick out higher class people. (a.k.a/ middle and high classes. No slums has them!)

Here's a little outline what the idea of a slum is.

  • low class people 
  • no higher than low class residents
  • must be dirty like sleeze or pollution
  • no parks
  • no modern style or futuristic styles allowed in slums
  • must look like the real-world type, take the slums from japan for an example
  • no high-tech allowed
  • not colorful
  • not much comfort and service for slums
  • Minimal use of police and fire protection
  • Minimal use of schools and hospitals
That's an idea of a slum. That's one of the tips for slums.


Greens and Trees


Your city can't be all dark and gloomly. Add some parks! Greens! Or anything colorful to the area! An outline should give you an idea what and where you should place parks.

  • Place plazas in offices and service areas. Mainly downtown for a break. (Think about you and working in the real-world. How would you feel?)
  • Place parks in residential areas to have some relaxtion or peace from traffic.
  • Make parks big so it can be away from traffic and noise. No walls or forts!
  • How would you feel if you had to pay to enter a park since it's like a fort?
  • Add trees!
  • Add restrooms, pinic areas, etc.!
This should help you build a better and more realistic neighborhood and cities.


Well this is all that I can give you for now. View more and comment on updates and let it be answered
