First of all I just want to say thank you to SC4L0ver, frdrcklim, nycsc4, Prophet42, kelistmac, T Wrecks, airman15 and Whte_rbt for their comments. I replied to most of them and I want to say thanks to T Wrecks for exploring my method of plopping residential some more.

Entry 5: Another Update on Pololomia

Here are twelve more pictures of Pololomia, I've considerably expanded the city and now I'm working on the border between the city and the countryside.

And here is Pololomia so far. Right now I am filling in the parts of the city centre which aren't complete, then I'm going to work some more on the industrial area to the left and then create some rural areas along the left side of this picture.

More grid-busting.

Suburban area close to the countryside.

The secret with suburbs is offsetting some sides of the suburban block with a tile or two (or more) of fillers. It's very easy to zone everything to the main road or street, but having a main road with only one (or no) side of residential can look more realistic.

Now we go to the city centre.

Loving Mattb325's new buildings- to the left is his urban school and in the centre is his First Federal Bank building.

In the centre of the picture is this school.

Using fillers I expanded the size of the school grounds and made it far more distinctive: a perimeter fence, car park, greenhouses, etc...

Squeezing out every last drop from FrankU's Dutch Parks!

10.

The criss-crossing railways divide up the city.

11.

I have changed parts of the industrial area to the northwest. Gone is the garbage dump and in its place rail sidings and a grain processing factory!

12.

Making the most of Simmer2's rail sidings.

The next update will probably be more rural as I move into MMP work and more organic, grid-busting sights. So stay tuned for that next weekend!

Very nice entry. I do love your building style, and the mixture and density of buildings is good.

Good use of the FAR road breaking the street patern sightly. Great FrankU dutchpark element use; havn´t explored it myself fully yet. Horse race way little tiney, dowtown maybe one diagonal office bat to many. Industrial railyard nicely weaven in between industries, well done !
