Wade City

ByeByeBayou

Hi all!!

This is my first post from my Wade City Archipelago Region and I would like to start with the financial and cultural hub of the region, Wade City, with population of over 475,000 Sims. 

 

Here is a transit map of the north region of the Wade City Archipelago or "The Archipelago" for short. It is nearly 3 million people and growing. The development focus was geared to be heavily focused on public transit and limit highways in the islands to the perimeters in order encourage density due to limited space as well as promote a healthy, walkable life style. The public transit system includes subways, heavy rail, monorail, buses, and the very popular boat fairies and taxis which give sims and up close tour the The Archipelago region on their commutes.

Here is were Wade City is locate in the Archipelago as well as fun logo used for advertising to promote tourism.

Here are the Island Districts of Wade City: Love Island (the entertainment district), University Island (the Education District), Legacy Island (the Financial District), Magic Island (the Arts District), Click-Clack Island, Blue Peak Island (The Industrial High-Tech District and named after Wade City's neighboring city to the south), and West Island (the Gateway District). There is also Airport Island International, and two park Islands: Mayor's Park, and Guggenheim Park. The "Mainland" will be released in Part II of Wade City.

Thanks!! Much appreciated I've plaid SimCity sense I was in elementary school starting with SimCity 2000. I recently re-downloaded SC4 and started play with Mods for the first time. I'm still learning how to use many of the NAM Mod tools. I need to look into some forums that give some tips and good examples.

 

Thanks again! I very much enjoyed your EUROPA, ANNO city Journal. I've been looking through for inspiration.
