(SC4) City Pot-Pourri

Very good! There are some buildings I haven't even seen before! They're probably the Jap ones...

Oh, EXCELLENT !  I love the suburbs, airy and inviting ; I like a city that breathe, and this one does, either the suburbs or the city center. Varied buildings, well placed, and you know when to grid and when not to grid ! :-) And I love the adventurous spirit :-) -- the picture with all the retaining walls ; I especially like the use of the uki ones !  The final picture is inspirational (I'm still afraid to try those Jenx Quais de Seine myself....) Only regret : the rock MMPs are way too busy, on the lake shore -- less is more, with small rocks MMPS ; for a rocky shore with no cliffs (or even with moderate cliffs) I found that using Murimk bedrock sets in combinaison with a few sets of smaller rocks and PEG's MMP sets (sand etc.) gives the best results.

I really do love everything you have to offer. The 'flipped' images certainly are interesting - it's fun to see something from a slightly different perspective for the first time. I appreciated the descriptions for each image, and your MMP skills look pretty nice too.

It would be nice, however, to see some more sims strolling those extensive walkways of yours. Whether that comes from lots plopped with those effects or from MMPs (or maybe a mix), I think they will add so much more vibrancy and atmosphere to your city.

Thanks, i know, i know, i'm struggling a bit with the rocks! the game water is quite hard to work with too, but practice makes perfect i suppose. The quais de seine are great, give them a go, they can be plopped anywhere, the only trick is to have a totally levelled area at the top or you get really obvious steps.

Thanks. Ploppable sims are a good point, i'm downloading some. Can you give me an example of a lot that generates sims? That sounds interesting as the quaysides do look a little barren of people considering how much the city had to fiddle the accounts to afford them.

I definitely enjoyed the show, in particular the mmp work the custom building and the creative & asymmetrical shape of the city blocks. All very nice indeed 
It's unfortunately to hear about the situation in your country. All the negative and worrisome things happening around us can certainly make it hard to enjoy hobbies like playing video games. It's only natural to feel as you do and I hope for all our sakes that things don't get worse and I also hope that you can find something that can give you a respite from it all. 

A great entry. I really like your build style, not every tile needs to be filled in with something, lots of green spaces. I look forward to some more 

Very lovely city here, awesome work

Thank you for the comment. I'm sure that there are people in worse situations than I, but it still makes me sad to be 'living in interesting times'

Thanks ever so much, I am slowly improving with leaving areas untouched, it does feel a little strange sometimes to leave a space where you feel there should be a 'thing'
