An Improved City

I was unsatisfied with this city despite its density, mostly because I don't like skyscrapers hanging out at the edges of the city (looks ugly for pictures) and I wanted to try out the development of new custom buildings (as well as the DarkNite mod!) Here's some of the new stuff that came about!

I was able to get a defined downtown through some careful zoning! I obtained Hunt Enterprise and Cahalane Communications, and was able to get Lind Entertainment close to the city center rather than at the corner. Got a new Ong Condos as well

Accompanying the double Pedriana's Pharmaceuticals is the Hogan Wallace & White Insurance building! Another nicely designed skyscrapers in a satisfactory location.

Such phenomenal work was done on this game...I mean that detail!

The long building pictured there is one of the custom buildings! They're infrequent unfortunately, but they do appear! When I was doing the zoning work to relocate the skyscrapers, some of them appeared! Unfortunately, I'm still having trouble getting them to appear consistently.

A widely expanded CO$$ district. These buildings still look pretty nice for some blocky concrete slabs. Such office space would still be very expensive.

On the right you can see that glassy skyscraper. I think I got all of 'em in this game! The vanilla ones, of course. More specifically, the CO$$$ ones.

A custom skyscraper! This is the Jeweler's building from Chicago. Unfortunately this one is an invasive species: it kept trying to appear wherever it could, much like Wren Insurance. It's beautifully made....

Just an overview: I made way for a large airport, got more tall buildings, and rezoned some high tech industrial just to stimulate some high wealth demand.
