Forthwall: I completely agree. It annoyed me a lot.

Hazani Pratama: Thanks!

Simul8ter8: Thank you!

Sylvio Jorge: Thanks for commenting!

Hellken: I should've done. Actually, I should have researched if there were any - and there are!

Ace of the Thirteen: Arabia was a nice change from my usual building style. I can see why it gets repetitive though.

Fox: And we're back! Thanks.

dubaidude303: Thank you!

City_Master: Thanks a lot!

elavery: Yes, Marsh is a genius with terrain and coastal mods. I have been playing around with some no grass mods but they haven't worked yet. If I do get it to work, there may be some more pictures soon! :)

Welcome back to Cattala. We've returned to the main journal after last week's little holiday, and we're back in Cydonia for a series of mosaics, panorama and nightshots from what I would say is my favourite from the series of Calora suburbs that I've done over the years.

Cydonia is almost a town that just advertises Mickebear's fantastic Mediterranean buildings. Besides the centre, it's practically entirely composed of the superb lots he created; BATs that first inspired this journal.

Some elements are more modern though. To the west of the town centre, the industrial park and modern fringes near the motorway owe more to Somy's style of architecture than the historic Italian theme elsewhere in the region. Glass, steel, and progress.

Now for a wider look at the town. Last time we visited Cydonia at the start of January I gave you a fleeting glimpse at the village over the tree-covered hills. Well, here's another quick glance at night time. Thank you for visiting Cattala!

Another really nice city. I love the mix of styles in your journal. Mbear's buildings are amazing, and you make a great use of them.

It's very, very, very awesome!! :D

I have a pair of suggestion:

  • Try to make underpass on rail xing in dense urban areas. :thumb:
  • It's too flat for Mediterranean style, try to build on hill slope. ;)

NO Grass mods work with Euro Texture Mod. Getting the correct loading order is hard. 

 

I think I might have to write a tutorial on that.

I pretty sure that you have absolutely completely utterly mastered this style... (Mediterranean right?)
