Entry #5 - After Dark
Hallo City-builders! It's been a few weeks since I've posted anything in my city journal.
I was celebrating holidays with my family on Thursday, and then my brother got into a car accident earlier in the week, so the release of After Dark completely slipped my mind. I logged into the Simtropolis boards on Friday morning where a banner reminded me of the "After Dark" night lights update. So I downloaded and troubledshooted with the new update for a good 2 hours, and finally got a chance to play for another few hours. I also spent a good deal of time Saturday playing and I wanted to do an "update" type entry for my City Journal.
After some consideration I've decided to rebuild parts of my Sim City 4 cities in Cities: Skylines. I considered rebuilding both regions I built in SC4, however, I think they serve their purpose where they are in SC4. At the same time, some limitations such as inter-city road connections in and road flexibility in SC4 don't suit the types of cities I want to build right now. I'm not playing SC4 at the moment.
I may go back to SC4 in a few months, but for now I want to spend my city-building time on new cities on the world of Illyris in Cities: Skylines.
The overall plan is to remake part of my original "Shining Star" region. This region in SC4 inspired me to build story cities -- this is where it all started.
The cities with a green check I'm keeping the same, the cities with an orange "R" I will be rebuilding.

The first re-build will be the Amarian Space Port region, and will much look like this:

Here are some screenshots of what I've been working on this weekend:








I've also had my share of mishaps. For a day and a half my street-views were completely blurred and distorted:




I hope you enjoyed this entry! Please let me know your thoughts on my photography as I am not the best photographer. Feel free to "Like" my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/fearlessmayor) as I post updates there and it's easier to post 1 screenshot of what I'm working on when I don't have a full city-journal to share with you all. Take care and thanks for reading! Have fun with After Dark =)
