I have been going about this the wrong way for quite some time now, and i have now seen were my Tokyo is true to life, And were it leads me astray, Take for instance the following.

This is the correct Path of shinjuku Route 4,

wrongp.jpg

Where as mine, i have it set as a complete straight path, Meaning no cerving at the Meiji Jungo shrine, And since this is a Dedicated Recreation, That just wont do.

Anyway, Here is a Region Veiw.

As you can see, i am not using the Tokyo map pack, i have just been terrorforming the map to fit the real life map Traits, Moo mapper does not work on my computer, Even though its vistas version -_-,   Well, As you can see, not alot to show as of yet, Still work on the Tokyo transit map, I have some accurate roads(Main ones) But as for the little roads, i just through down realistic looking grids,  Also, i have not maneged to Get the trains running as of yet.. Sorry for the picture, its a print screen gone horribly wrong, i apoligies..

And as you will see in the next picture,  I have to Resize Meiji junjo shrine/harajuku gardens, As it is substantially bigger then as i have it.

The Area in Blue(Shinjuku) Yellow (Shinjuku route 4) Violet(Chuo Line) Are almost But not true to my Recreation, I plan to fix that, But the Blue Is Spot on, I just wanted to get the main roads Spot on, As for the little Grid roads, theres just far to many that do not show up on the Transit map, Mainly because there so small.

Also, the Area circuled in Red is what i'm working on mainly at the moment,  I'm Also Working on Shibuya and Ginza but at the moment The "Shinjuku" area has a 96.9% of my full attention.

And finally, A updated Region satilite view.

As you can see, Tokyo henda Airport has been worked on alittle more, Even though i dont have the 2nd terminal and other runways put down yet, I plan to get to that soon enough. I have started mapping out the Roads in Shibuya, Along with the Highway system... Which is a headache.... I Was working on Ginza station..But the Game crashed before i could save... So back to the Drawing board..

End of this update for now, Keep posted.

Making a VERY accurate recreation is nearly impossible with SC4. You can only recreate cities which allow to do this, like planned ones or specific spots of that cities. Simply try your best with your recreation, look (or make) the important buildings and rely on major roads. Don't get mad with this; only make what's in your hand.

Looking forward the next update, though!

Duststorm: This is probably my first real region view :) Glad you like it, And thank you for subscribing!.

Kingdis_55: I am still not done terrorforming the map, I Really wish moo mapper would have just worked on my computer.

TekindusT: I apreciate your kind words, This city has been giving me a headache with all the little roads, It's just so overwellming how big this city is, it just gets to me some times, But i do enjoy every minute of creating it, And i will try to make it as accurate as i can. :)

hey just dropping by again.

I love the region view, and I appreciate that comment you left on my old Tokyo CJ, brought back good memories.

Heres a tip though on recreating Tokyo. Be patient.

I wouldnt start work on Haneda just yet, you're going to want to shoot yourself when you discover the pieces just dont fit. But dont get too caught up with the small streets, thats impossible to recreate with simcity, unless you BAT a whole city block.
Also I recomend that you use plopable water, like the one by jeronij or mas71. It makes recreating the bay area a lot easier, and also the many small rivers and canals that run through Tokyo. Tokyo wasn't called the Venice of the East for nothing, there are thousands upon thousands of canals, that seemingly spread across the bay area at random, and it is almost impossible to recreate, but it is do-able.

Also, as a fellow CJ-er who has attempted Tokyo I wish you the best of luck.

sorry I never uploaded my Shinjuku Station, and i hate to tell you this but I lost the file. I read your email though, but forgot to respond, my B.

honestly, I wouldn't feel right uploading the file, its horrible looking, however, it does serve the purpose of being transportation hub. Not much on accuracy and eyecandy though, it looks horrible, and quite frankly its an eyesore. I wanted to redo the whole thing, but my old laptop (which I used for 5 years; I was still using XP until recently) finally broke down, and I lost the files forever.

It's ok man, no worries at all, And i actually thought it was quite good for a BAT, looked pretty cool, So what cities have you been wanting to plan on?
I was thinking after i finish Tokyo..(When ever that will be) I could do my next favorate asian city, Seoul, Because simtrop has alot seoul based buildings. And sorry to hear you lost every thing man. :(
