Hi,

My name is Criss... Ive been a member of simtropolis since 2006 I believe... not importante right now...

Since I got the game... back in 2004... there has been always a challenge for me, which it was (and still is) to recreate a real life city. Now the problem with that as we all know is the lack of bats, mods, game limitations... etc... but even though we have that, there were some people who challenged those limitations and created the most wonderful recreations... and they have been an inspiration to me throughout the years..

To name some examples...

Paris by E.J.C... which I cant find anymore...

San Francisco... by mexicanboy... back in 2005!!

the different looks of NYC... by one of my greatest inspirations... lucky7... wow... you should all check that one out...

and so on...

Now, I have been playing this region for about 1 month...

It takes a lot of time to get streets right... and at the same time obtain functionality out of it... this CJ is not about looks only, but to make it function like the real NYC.. .so mass transit... WILL BE ESSENTIAL..

I dont have too many pics yet... but since I made you read all of this long post.. I'll give you something so that you dont hate me... =)

But first... lets get technical:

1) Map: Izidor44... I edited the config so I could fit the post office

2) Streets: placed as accurate as possible

Wish: to inspire people to create something different... and to start something different... to be honest... I havent seen a real life rec for a long time now... I like the current cjs... but I dont know.. .maybe by this I will inspire some more recreations... oh, and also, maybe with this, I will help people create their own version of NYC.. .after all.. Im open to questions.. .and if necessary, I will make a tutorial of things you want to know... =)

PICS!!!

I remember when lucky7 did "The Different Looks" a while ago and how awesome it was, and it looks like you are off to a great start trying to match or top that :) I don't see Broadway on the transportation map but I'm sure you'll get that at some point :P

 

I'll be sure to follow this!

If you can pull off this project, which I believe you can, you will be my favourite city-recreator by a long shot. :P Can't wait for more! :D

Broadway is the tricky thing with Manhattan.  Stupid angles.

 

yeah i know what you mean. im trying to use a 2 tile wide Avenue for Superior Street In Downtown cleveland and i am not happy with always having to put in Corners for when the street is Curving. In real life Superior Street does curve its just in a strange Angle. im wondering if theres a Transportation mod for Avenues traveling at a strange angle like Broadway or Superior Street in Cleveland. but if not im ok with that because after i see all the Support you have given this man about how he will eventually figure out a way to put this street in a way that it looks very close to real life way i believe that i will eventually find a Gradient for the right angle that i can adapt for all of my Downtown,Cleveland. Keep up the Good work cmdp123789 your begining to inspire me with my CJ's.

TekindusT: HEY! its a pleasure for me to see you in here... I hope you like it, and thank you for stopping by

 

Necropolis: Wow, thanks! Ive seen your cj... you started it again.. right? I have a way of getting the right angle for angled streets.. maybe in the next update I could show you... depends on how much work I get done... anyways, thank you for stopping by, and Im glad you can use this cj for inspiration. As of now, Im working to see if I can get an update... maybe tonight, not sure... we'll see... but stay tuned, you might get a surprise =)
