Greater Terran #2: City Growth and Oil Boom
Thanks for the replies and feedback everyone! Always greatly appreciated!
Yes my free game was the new Need For Speed: Most Wanted. The missions are pretty simplistic, but I have always liked the free roaming aspect and getting chased by the cops.
Anyways this update will be a continuation of the last update rather than a fresh start. It will show growth of the city and development of the oil fields.
As always, click for full resolution!
I've got a coal mine set up and expanded now. It will mainly supply coal to my power plant do I don't have to pay to import the stuff.
Adding another garage to my fire department as my town grows... Hopefully as my sims get smarter they won't start as many fires 
And with that the main intersection is starting to look quite decent:
I now have 3 full oil fields set up with plans to make 3 more. They should be able to make a healthy profit for the city as I am simply exporting all oil at this point:
The current skyline: the oil wells currently dominate the city scape... for now.
I've built another highway connection for the east end. Even by patch 1.8 Maxis hasn't fixed the fact that there's a highway median running in the middle of highway intersections. Oh, and those trees
City services have been expanded to prepare for big growth. As the sewage treatment plant converts sewage to water, I placed it next to my new pumping station to take advantage of this fact (as long as it doesn't pollute the water lol)
Some good midrises now. Reminds me a bit of Brooklyn
And also mid-tech industry has come, replacing the low-tech dirty stuff. A warm welcome for my sims as pollution goes down and standard of living increases.
A new community college trains sims to work in their new industrial positions.
Overview of the city in its current form:
...And on a side-angle on a hazy day:
Of course last but not least, I have the video component! It will show you how I built everything with commentary! (I livestreamed this event last week)
Should begin at part 7 where this update begins.
-Full list of video parts if it isn't working for you:
Anyways that will do it for now. Thanks and hope you enjoyed! I will not be making another city until cheetah speed is restored so will be spending more time tinkering with this one for the next update.
