Nice! I mean it seams, that some people look into here. I have still no clue, what you´re after but I´ll do my best to feed an unidentified hunger. What do you like if looking to this town? Is there anything, you want to know more about? Tell me, what you think!

@Jimbobbedyjobob,

thank you, I hope, I could help you out!

 

Today I have only a few pictures, but there are some nice train shots, I´ve made. And here, in this game, I really love to shoot pictures at night. So I detected, that I forgot a lot of lanterns in parks, and I had a long session with planting lamps (and benches) everywhere. It´s still not finished, as a town of this size needs attention everywhere at the same time, but a few parks are done. Another part I wanted to change, was the quarter around the Museum Of Natural Sciences and the surrounding buildings of the matching university institutes. And cause most of this corner of the town was completely undeveloped, I could do both things in one row. There is a new quarter with - again - semi detached houses, and three other quarters had to grow into the green. I also finished the riverbanks here, and planted hundreds of trees.

This, btw, I do in an old fashioned way - tree by tree, and never with a brush. I have some favorites, I start with, then I fill up with different others, and in the end I decorate with CO trees in different sizes. Eventually I start to decorate the free space with grass, flowers and stuff. But until now I finished only a few places. 

Again I start with an overview at night. On the left side is the new part:

And well, here are old GM buses on a short line:

An overview of the new part:

The next two pictures show a new crossing the second with incoming train. I would love to have some kind of suspension for this bridge but there is nothing I can use for. On the other hand - a modern concrete bridge would be able to span over the crossing without any pillars. So I´ve decided to let it stay this way:

And three pictures with trains. Some models are simply fantastic!

I hope you like it, cheers, Carl

As you say, and it is apparent also in you pictures, how C:S really allows one to make the city and transit work together, not like in SC4 :lol: Sometimes I agree with those, that the essence of a city is in its transit, but sometimes not. Anyway, great to see your work as always! :)

An interesting journal. A good-looking city but for me it is too regular... still, it's American so it's logical... but the buildings are European though...

It would be interesting to see different filters of the systems of your city: transportation, tube lines etc.
