Welcome back to

Well it has been a long time but I am finally ready to start making a return. I still have a lot of things to do before I get Ionica up an running again, but in the meantime I'll share a few new pictures from around the city and from one of the new Zones I've been working on for the past couple of months.

Special thanks to KonstantinII who has been custom LOTing some BATs for me and sharing them with the rest of Simtropolis.

This is from my new Zone called Sarai which features a huge park in the middle of a low density residential area.

Schulmanator: Awesome! An enjoyable tour though some well designed areas. I think a vacation there is in order this summer!

Thanks. There is a place for you in Ionica anytime. Summer is especially beautiful here.

ggamgus: Fantastic! :D Sorry about your PC being down... but this is great work, I love it. :D

Thank you. Finally got it up an running a few months ago. Felt like it would never be fixed.

KonstantinII: The whole overview is nice. Veritas is so huge I don't even have word to describe it! You provide a good living status for your people. The metropolitan area looks very realistic. Dubai is like nothing compared to this. I think the small houses in Hao Dantong somehow don't fit in with the rest of the city. You don't have to put a big university campus in a crowded city like Veritsas. I use the small buildings of hdorriker's university set. They are compact enough to blend in with the city and provide all it's education needs. Think of them as sub branches of the main university. http://community.sim...esidence-halls/ Most big cities don't have a sprawling university in the middle of the CBD. Just Saying.

Thanks. I feel Veritas is kind of cluttered. I'm going to have to work on it a little. I want a big university, but you are right that it shouldn't go in Veritas. I have in mind something like Oxford/Harvard/Yale. Throw in some MIT as well.

Huston: Beautiful montage of your city zones! :) And the photo-editing is great! You really don't make it obvious that your using the default building lots and you really seem to have talent for blending different styles as well which is just remarkable because not many people seem to do it effectively like you have! Again, amazing work.

Glad you appreciate it Huston. It is all about being selective and picky.

Titanicbuff: That city is HUGE

But I'm not compensating for anything.

RepublicMaster: I love the journey throughout all of Ionica! Your canals are one of the highlights! :D Keep up the great work!

Thanks, I put a lot of time into those. Glad they stick out to you.

dubaidude303: Totally stunning! Awesome work :)

Thanks dude. (I always have to it that way)

City Builder 9111: Wonderful to see all of it again! Long Live Ionica!

Thanks for your blessing.

Hazani Pratama: Great!

Thanks.

Terring: Fantastic work man :D

Thank you.

Harbin91: Hate to be an air traffic controller there.

I imagine it could be quite a nightmare. Unless the air traffic is controlled by a super sophisticated AI, yeah - lets just say that is how it works.

Forthwall: Gargantuan update, had to wait a bit, but it was worth it - 100%. Congrats on 1 year and lets hope for many more :D

Glad you stuck with it to see it all. Yes, lets hope.

Hellken: Well, what can I say? This is stunning and fantastic!

Thank you very much.

Thanks for stopping by.

Looks really really nice, just read through the entire CJ and loved every minute of it, right from the looks at the older cities and the redesigns they went through, up to the sprawling urban metroplois that has become Ionica.

 

Really nice work

Spectacular contrast between the urban sprawl and natural scenes! A very tranquil looking atmosphere to sum it all up :D

Question - I was looking through your entries and saw you featured two pedestrian overpasses - a circular one (from bripizza) and a square one - can you please give at least the name of the square one so I can look for it  (its not included in the overpasses by bripizza).  Thank you.

 

 I can't remember at the top of my head. If I find it i'll get back to you. You could try posting it in the Can't Find forum, that is how I found it.
