So, first things first. This post isn't of anything in particular except random shots around the city and some planning and progress on that planning. I've been working on suburbs in between the university and park updates, so here are a few shots of my progress.

The shot below is of the Emerson District. You can see the park in the center of the picture with the graveyard and crematorium on the blvd.

Here's a shot of the Emerson District with part of Abbey University's Campus.

The highway overpass in one of the newest suburbs that is currently developing.

Overview of the area during the day. The empty area that spans the bottom middle will be the next area to develop.

And one last shot but not of Abbey Dell. This is a shot of Dewey Dell. I messed around in a little this week but didn't do too much with it. The city's getting too large for my poor computer to handle.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the randomness. Hopefully I'll have some time to get a proper update together once the new areas develop further.

As always, feel free to like, rate, comment! I welcome any feedback, critique, suggestions, etc.

Really nice use of trees and other flora to help define the low-relief terrain areas.

Random thought:  we spent years wanting to break the SC4 grid imposed by roads and rail that could only be laid in the cardinal directions and the two 45 degree diagonals.  With C:S we have no such limits.  In some ways, though, completely free form road alignments look just as unrealistic.  Have we thrown the baby out with the bathwater?  

The dark mountain terrain in the last pic is very evocative of El Paso, Texas, where the Franklin mountains split the city into east and west halves.  The similarity doesn't bear close scrutiny, but it is pretty neat nonetheless.
