Ok, I added trees, and 3 ponds!

OK, So I am very behind Chris who is the reason I started this, but I'm continuing. I added some ponds to this one, and trees, but they don't seem to show?? I'm in acres, all though I didn't get to farms. My slope mod annoyed me so much that I removed it. Than my avenues looked terrible. I respect the slope, but when I can't see the difference on a street, I got annoyed. Anyway, I forgot how to get streets to neighborhood connect, so I used roads, but I hope you like that I tried for more real neighborhood. And yes, I get that they are block. I live in the greater Seattle area, and a lot of what I see is block. So here you go.

Plan

I realized with fifth ward, I planed region, but I need to plan each section as well. So this is what I came up with. Don't know how it will turn out, but hey, I think the best thing about this? I'm not real, I'm not perfect, and I'm going to keep going. I love seeing those perfect ones, but really, how many of you can do that? And if you can I'm jealous. :)

So the continuation of the residential from fifth ward. I had to use roads for connections, I couldn't figure out the street connection thing. Oh if we had a real city simulator that let us draw an any direction, as big as we want, and worked. My peg ponds worked, but still look funny. I will have to work on those. Funny, maybe in many moons I am continuing this and somewhere else on region I have great lakes... Well so I got some residential, I needed some commercials. And doesn't mean we are taking a commercial break. ha ha.

CBD: All be it small. :)

Poor people, their houses are flooded by the ponds, hehe, I hope that those are not sewer ponds.

I see that you have some good roads planning (those tunnels and sunken avenues) but your cities are more like towns, not cities, you also lack alot of vegetation considering the climate you're in.

 

 

This is how I start my cities:

Make avenues, then roads inbetween, some parks, then utulities (education, hospitals, etc..

As for this tile, a town is fine. This is supposed to be the outskirts of the city, and more farm land anyway. I put some trees down, but they didn't grow yet? As for the ponds, I'm new to that tool and will have to learn. I guess think of rain water runoff. I know where I live in Seattle, most new neighborhoods have to have some small pond thing close by. It is rain water. Also, there are a lot of square developments as seen here. I tried to make it a continuation of the next tile, as I'm trying my hand at what Chris did in his realism thread which is why I started this.

 

His is over here: https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=12096.0

 

Also, that is nice looking. I do like how my avenues and highways turned out. They should be overpasses, but it is a start.
