Entry 3: A New Skyline
REPLIES:
I would completely love to have that church in SC4. It would have saved a lot of photoshoping time in my previous entry.
You keep doing a good job with skylines.
Thanks very much. The church is a wonderful asset and I was able to find another equally lovely one that I used in the most recent entry.
Awesome stuff!
Thank you! Your stuff is also rather awesome...much more than mine!
I WANT THIS GAME!!!
Very nice update! I like that European mixed with American style!
Thanks. If there's any Euro/American mix, it's completely unintentional, haha. I've always wanted to try an old European city, but my OCD and inherent love of grids makes it difficult! Some day. 
このゲームほしいんだ！
Uh, I think thank you?
I particularly like the 4th picture.
Thanks, that's my personal favorite, too. I like the ones that show how the skyline actually fits into the surrounding.
Skylines looks awesome. I just wish for more people and vehicles on roads !
Some parts of the city are very crowded. It all depends where in the city you are. Also, the populations aren't huge even with lots of buildings/high density. It's a trade-off, I suppose.
Very nice entry!
Thanks a lot. I've been following your SC4 journal, it's fantastic!
Entry 3: A New Skyline
So, you might have noticed I changed the name of my CJ. I can't stick with one project for very long (it's always been a bad habit regardless of game I play (ask the RCT community)). Today, I decided to play around in sandbox, with unlimited money and everything unlocked and available. Surprisingly enough, though, if I haven't unlocked one of the various staged buildings, it's not available in this mode either. It's some incentive to play the actual simulation, I suppose, so I'll have some work to do. So while this city isn't Schollenberg, that doesn't mean that it will be going away. Think of this journal as a catch-all for my messing about in this game.
With that lengthy paragraph, then, let me explain the following pictures. As I said, I wanted to mess around without money, so I started with a CBD and planned the road layout before zoning anything. The freedom to plan was great and something I've missed since playing the game when it came out. I've also been hunting for big skyscrapers on the Workshop. I've found a few nice ones and a few junky ones. I appreciate all the effort the modding community is doing--they truly are the pioneers of Skyline's custom content. Anywho...on to pics!
There is a long narrow park between the bay and the main avenue that follows the coast. This picture was taken from said park.
A highway essentially forms the backbone of the CBD. There will be some additional high-development behind this highway, but it won't be fully upgraded (hopefully) so as to create a better transition into the suburbs.
There are two bridges that cross the bay and lead to the peninsula. You can get a decent view of several of the custom buildings.
Those two giant buildings are my favorites, but I can't remember for the life of me what they are. If anyone's interested, drop me a comment and I can tell you what they were. These fit the style of the game and are really quite beautiful.
I love this little triangle section of development. Quite cramped...
From the hills far in the distance. I think this will be quite nice once all is said and done.
So there you have it! Hopefully you enjoy and you don't mind the switch in gears. Next update will be something...I just don't know what!
