Kings Town : Saint Andrews Church, municipal cemetery and the Shoreline

jbqqScw.jpg#1

 

Part 1: The St Andrews church. Patron saint of Kings Town.

Saint Andrews is the protector of cultivators and shepherds. Kings town raised an exquisite church which blends the very concepts of an early ecclesiastical basilica with Gothic architectural references. Red bricks used to match both the town hall's and courthouse's style. It is located 2 blocks from the city center easily accessible on foot or bus-line 1 (red line - Central Train Station- Town Hall). According to the folk-lore, Saint Andrews is the christian incarnation of god Dionysus. However, the Olympian Christianity of Agrophilia accepts both the saint and the lesser deity. 

I plopped cars on parking space. (only Hyundai tucson and sonata are available).

Part 2: The Municipal Cemetery.

The Municipal Cemetery serves the community as the last citizens' resting place. There is an annual celebration called ''anthestiria'' or flower festival. According to the folk-lore, The dead are like the god Adonis. Citizens flower the tombs, marching through the towns' roads and throwing flower petals on streets.After that they assembly again to the cemetery's church and pray for the resurrection of the dead just like the lesser god. Adonis resurrected every spring, bringing back life and joy to the nature. The Olympian Christian church commemorate the god Adonis as prophet of Jesus-Christ. 

[ I beautified the surrounding area and added some gardens (pappeln trees etc)].

Part 3: The Shore. ''Natural beauty''.

The Shoreline of Kings Town is a thesaurus of relaxation and tranquility. Citizens walk by the river, go for picnic or admire the stunning view. The Shoreline is also a popular tourist destination. It is rumored that the poem ''Oh Titan Gaia'' has been written by the shore from the unknown national poet. Therefore,  writers, poets and artists are visiting the place asking from Muses to inspire them.DUkbnJg.jpg#7

I also added wheelie bins outside the terraced houses (20% completed).

Yet more glorious pictures! Especially those in the sunset. The terraces and British housing fit in so well even as the coastal area gives off a Mediterranean feel to it. Great use of TPB's rocks by the way, I have yet to use those but they work so well augmenting any rock face or cliff. There is another detail I have missed to, the pavement and grass textures of the roads have been altered, how did you do that?

Thank you very much for your comment! To be honest, it has an intense Mediterranean feel. However, I really like the UK housing theme and I believe that is a good mix.  TPB's rocks are awesome and came very handy. Yes, I have changed the cement pavements to cobblestone , the ruined grass, the grass, the oil,sand and ore textures as well. I searched for ''seamless textures''. I am using Terrain Texture replacer mod (there is a new mod theme terrain creator I think) to enable the textures from my search. I used this guide : 

I used Azurespecter's comment to enable them:

So all Steam Workshop content is downloaded to:   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\255710 --> and then each download has it's own random number folder, so just search TerrainTextureReplacer to find the right folder)

 

Then take the contents of the Steam folder, and put it here:  C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Mods\TerrainTextureReplacer

 

There will be a .dll file and one of the vanilla terrain textures as a sample. Don't worry about changing things, because this is an override folder. Meaning it doesn't do anything unless you have properly named .png files in it to override the vanilla textures.

I am using TPB's terrain themes mod, the terrain changes but the pavement textures don't which is strange.
