Livin' in the Ghetto

Mr Saturn64

Every city has its perks. Illustrious downtowns, cultured historic neighborhoods, and plenty of nice residential areas. But while this is true, every city also has its downsides. Pollutive industrial centers, impovershed residential areas, and crime rates through the roof. Saturnia happens to have some of the latter. Let's take a look.

South of the Concord River is the Kerrytown neighborhood, which unfortunately ranks among the poorest neighborhoods in the nation.

This is the neighborhood. Consists largely of rowhomes and small side streets. It's not near anything, aside from a railroad station, but you'd best skip it.

Kerrytown is also part of Saturnia's industrial center, making it one of the more polluted areas of the city.

Side streets like this are a common site. Before this area became so bad, these were home to many families.

This is a common strip mall. This place is known to get robbed frequently, making the Saturnia Police Department a frequent visitor.

Despite this being a very poor neighborhood, the people living in here can know each other and treat each other like family. It proves that no matter the neighborhood, you'll find light in it if you look.

I like the grey ghettos and the good blend of Maxis and custom buildings you're showing here. It's all built very simple, and yet it conveys that ghetto feeling very well. :)

Thank you all.

 

Jorge: Thank you.   JENX Weather Mod

 

T Wrecks: Thank you.  I do have more Maxis buildings than most, but I have more than some people who don't use mods, to which on Simtropolis there are very few.

Thank you for sharing your dreary neighborhood and for the reminder that there are some very good Maxis original buildings  The rain was a nice touch.

Can you please list all the mods and Custom buildings you used in Saturnia I really like your town and the Churches you are using are so beautiful (and the Maxis Temples are ugly and are obviously modeled to Resemble no real Religion) so please link them.

sejr99999 - Thank you.  I feel like people don't take any of the Maxis buildings seriously, despite some being very good.

 

Moonlightboy - I'll PM you.
