solarpunk Olivia-4 (under construction)

@TheMurderousCricket, @TogaMasterJohn, @carlosmarcelo, @mitsos, @Chappington, @raynev1, @TG24, @Golan0, @whiteshark365, @CaptCity, @MissVanleider, @ByeByeBayou, @Dead_End and @Kuba138, thank you for your likes, comments and follows *:D

Time to begin the construction of a new solarpunk city, this time named Olivia-4.

Olivia-4 was supposed to be another linear chain city, just like the previous ones, with only 2 road connections. However if you see closely at the east part of the city, you'll find a third road connection too. Olivia-4 is going to be connected with 3 cities, with Hazelfield already being one of them. This city is going to have many futuristic surprises. See the wavy street? Notice that the main road is expanding into an empty area? In the next entry you'll see why.

We have the roads, we have the magnetic railroad, so now it's time to prepare the ground for our city. For once again, no excessive terraforming. Just let the landscape as it is.

This is also a good time to build our public transportation systems, with bus stops in every corner and underground pods stations in the main roads, which will be expanded later.

And now we can plant our trees...

...and begin the construction and the landscaping of the area.

Right now the town has some parks, some neighborhood mini farms, a vertical farm, a market next to it...

...a police station, a fire station, a clinic which expands underway as well, a primary school, a secondary school, a library, a museum, some playgrounds...

...a college and a lake. But this is just the beginning. How the town will like is something we'll see in the next entry.

And let's not forget the landscaping, making the area as beautiful as possible.

The construction has begun. Sims are coming to the town to build their houses and infrastructures, but we have to wait to see how Olivia-4 will actually look like. The only thing I can say for now is that after taking those pictures I made some progress and many things has already been changed.

This teaser is a little small because, as I said before, Olivia-4 is going to have some really cool futuristic surprises. Can't tell what, can't show you now, just be patient. Right now I'm reading and making some homework for my postgraduate studies, but hopefully the next entry will be ready soon. See you there :)

Very cool and pretty. But I was curious: what is the reason for these cross trails distributed throughout the free areas of the city? Does it have to do with the spoiler you don't want to give? *:golly:

@carlosmarcelo You mean the railroad tiles? I use them to level the area and later as placeholders for further development. So yeah, you can say that (at least some of them actually) they have to do with the incoming surprises :D
