Anedau | The Last City

By Huston,

tarielyThank the post-apocalyptic world for that scene idea Hopefully this update'll quench your curiosity!michael95lAin't it just awesome? ____________________________________________________________So here's the full update! Got lazy, so no usual mosaics this time Anedau. A mesmerizing city, full of hope, dreams and the progression of humanity.Despite the cataclysmic demise of global civlization, pockets of human existence remain on the planet. But the uncertainty of their fates reserve their existences...

I see that there aren't many people that still play the more classic SimCity games - such as 3000 unlimited XD I've had the game for about 10 years now and still play it on several occassions. I've made a couple of decent cities since management in many aspects of the game is easier than SimCity 4 Here are some of my cities that I still play today: SANTE MARCO ~ This city in particular is failing. Bad budget, population in exodus. And I can't seem to recover it It didn't last very long. Sylvia ~ One of my...

47ply Thanks NMUSpidey Thanks, really great of you to say Tonraq Ha, thanks for the reminder! And lol yeah, worst SC region of all time KonstantinII Thanks, I'm pretty sure you'll love it APSMS Thanks, and pretty much yeah -- I hadn't watched the first make of Total Recall, and with the screenshots of it on google, it didn't look like I could take it seriously, and the scale and graphics difference between the first and second would be far too immense for me to watch it Regardless, I liked the movie,...
Huston
Hey everyone, thanks for commenting on my previous update! I truly is great to go back to the roots of the series, especially since SC3000 unlimited was really a great game (and still is -- I'm might even try my hand at modelling the buildings from the game into SC4, such as Bluerise Plaza and Super Spur Tower ) ___________________________________________________________________________________ Meanwhile, I have a few pictures around my computer and image hosting site account that haven't ever really been...
Huston
Tonraq Well, because weather jmsepe Thanks, if you want, no problem. I'll gladly help you and give you tips and even tutorials on anything to do with PS. Just PM me when you can, but it's best to be specific about something you need help with Schulmanator Thanks, and I thought so lol. The 2 Hamiltons seem so different from each other haha tankmank That's great to hear, and thanks Moerp It'd definitely be a nice little town to live in TekindusT Thanks, it was a shame I accidentally hit delete city feeroz123...
Huston
Terring Lol thanks Tonraq I swear, that's how it looked in the movie! Thanks MilitantRadical Thanks and so did I, I enjoyed it quite a bit but I tend to lack any real seriousness from Arnold, so personally, the movie setting and plot in the modern Total Recall just wouldn't of had the same effect on me if he was casted for it That's just me though XD agunter999 Thanks and there could be, the movie practically merged the remained of the European states, including France (or what was left of it). I wouldn't...

Paris | City of Darkness

By Huston,

haydon1996: Thank you very much. iuri99: Just felt like adding it, to give it more of an apocalyptic feel, but thanks anyway. simmytu: Thanks! Adrianor: Thanks, and I could, but I can't seem to use the army plops for the pics... Javascap: Thank you! Samerton: Thanks you so much! Alejandro24: Thanks! halenbyname: Sorry, but it was just to show a little bit of the nuclear war, but thanks! Munchiez: Really? Thanks for commenting though! Sirron kcuhc: Thanks Sirron!

SC3KU | Return To Shiba

By Huston,

Mymyjp Thanks Sexysark:P Thanks. The concept isn't all new, but it's more a variation Benedict Endora is a huge part in why I'm doing this. That and of course, it seems awesome to bring forward the storyline in a whole other way slickbg56 Endora was awesome, hopefully my presentation could at least hold up a candle to it Simul8ter8 Thanks, but the project will have to hold up for a bit since it takes quite a while ____________________________________________________________ Since the last time I've shown...
Huston
feeroz123 Yeah, it's the family's favorite camping spot Thanks a lot MilitantRadical Yeah, it's been a while, but I hadn't played it consistently. That's really more of a figure for how long I've had the game. I only really got into SC4 when I found Simtropolis in '09. Tonraq Thanks Carl Schriefer Thanks a lot, it's a lotta fun to play with MMPs tankmank Thanks Gugu3 Thanks slickbg56 Thanks, it's amazing a Maxis bridge could look so good TekindusT Thanks ROFLyoshi Thanks a lot. The border checkpoint is...
Huston
KonstantinII It was the only way to create the chaotic, slummy scene you get in the Philippines . Housing there isn't very organized in a lot of dense places TekindusT It indeed is jmsepe Ha! Thanks for telling me. My Philippine geography is really rusty since I don't really know any regions beyond Metro Manila and Nueva Ecija Moerp Thanks, it's tediously achieved in Lot Editor. But it comes with a lot of failed saves, which is actually a problem since the scene never turned out the way I wanted to. The...

Comments from Update R&R#10 will be tended to in the following official udpate. __________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Random and Random Bulletin Board! This board will be regularly updated with different, not so specific topics; when let's say...I have one pic I really feel like showing you. For updates that don't deserve an entire page to themselves (I mean really? Why. If I'm going to do something like that, then the pictures better well be...
Huston
R•E•P•L•I•E•S Schulmanator Thanks. I think I emptied the bottle of choc syrup out, and I'm outta sprinkles too. Guess a little choc sauce will have to do Fox Thanks, despite this only being about 99% vanilla NMUSpidey I thought so, it wasn't purely vanilla hehe Benedict So plain and ugly I guess. I mean the buildings aren't so bad, but other things could do with some work. In terms of Ice Cream, nothing at all Schriefer You may need to check up with a local optometrist to make sure your retinas aren't...

Los Angeles | Part 1

By Huston,

Thanks to everyone who commented previously, here is the Official Update | PART 1 LA This update heralds the answers to what Los Angeles appears in the Post-war years, What happened to the city and to the people of the sick, toxic and filth infested City that went from riches to rags. At daybreak, a green fog begins to settle over the dead and poisonous City, thickly covered in rubble and filled with an eerie silence which shows the fear and death that spread quickly throughout the city of Los Angeles....
Huston
REPLIES! feeroz123 Thanks a lot, if there's anything you want to ask about, let me know Schulmanator Thanks Schulmanator gil_alves Thanks, it's good to see it has that kind of value to others TekindusT Lol, ha, thanks a lot Tekindus §haÅ--Ñ€ §hÅŽo Thanks a lot KonstantinII Thanks spursrule14 Thanks spurs Prophet42 Thanks a lot. A lot of them are very random but it's good to see the creativity is still there weixc812 Thanks, you yourself were tough competition with some of the images you threw in which...
Huston
Wallibuk Thanks 47ply Yeah, they are, from a Japanese street tree/prop mod. Tonraq Ikr? Thanks AdoxxBE Thanks, here's another round of Port Hamilton TekindusT Thanks, I was really bummed out by the fact that I couldn't go through with it. It had potential, but my mind thought otherwise SimRico I'd have no objection to a memorial exhibition tribute, if you would so go through with it Schulmanator Which Hamilton exactly? Thanks. juliok92102 Thanks slickbg56 Thanks, there are actually no relots here. These...
Huston
Ln X Haha, great strategy TekindusT Thanks, it really depends I guess. These are just the best of them. Never were going to use them so might as well post'em right? Sexysark:P Yes, Randomness FTW Tonraq May be, not really...nahhh tankmank I didn't really feel like I got that atmo. At least you think it though Mymyjp Not really. They're really just random plops coolwiththecool2 It does yeah, I really wanted to try use it somewhere. Too bad this didn't make the cut then Titanicbuff I'm a do it on the spot...
Huston
89James89 Thanks so much Tonraq Thanks a lot TekindusT I'm sure they're great, I mean c'mon T&R and Lubbenauer Tor are amazing LastTrueChamp Thanks agunter999 Thank you KonstantinII It's supposed to be an area between Italy and Spain, hence the style and name juliok92012 Thanks Schulmanator Thanks, they were quite difficult to get, but I also realized that blending in the harbor walkways were difficult in that kind of terrain rewright Thank you Roman_Samudra Yeah, but mostly Corsica. I usually looked to...
Huston
tankmank Thanks, it does get a bit tricky, and I'm still getting use to it considering how it'll all piece together MilitantRadical Well, I was making do with what I had, and all in all, I don't have that many Japanese BATs that fit the rural stage. May be next time around Tonraq Thanks, and okay lol, I'll take your word for it. A little grim about your third option though SimCoug Haha lol, wasn't wise, using a repetitive lot huh? Richie99 Thanks jmsepe Thanks, and yeah, I'm getting into a little Japanese...
Huston
Terring Yep, it can be changed quite drastically MilitantRadical I've been wanting to do one for a while to show people raw SC4 images of ME:TMW Tonraq It does yeah, and of course, to make a scene underwater, it was gonna have to be photoedited tankmank Indeed, that's why I had to edit the image with Umeda Tower. The blue was waaay to bright and overwhelming and made the image look - strange? In any case, it looked way better after editing KonstantinII I'm not against pure SC4 imagery, but it tends to look...
Huston
tankmank Thanks a lot, I had so much trouble intially arranging the city. It was hard to say if I could blend old and new together like it, but it came at okay in the end more or less. Great to see you think it works MilitantRadical I always love a good night shot. Thanks slickbg56 Thanks! feeroz123 Thank you, glad they're inspirational TekindusT It's time for the future! fan o SC4 Thanks ioh969 Thank you so much SimCoug Thanks NielsC007 Thanks a lot Ln X Thanks Prophet42 Thanks, I owe it all to the tower...
Huston
Schulmanator Thanks, it is a mining colony after all TekindusT Thanks, such words to describe the stereotypical sci-fi city Benedict It's just about how people use to and often still fantasize futuristic cities. Of course, for the Earth's case, it would undoubtedly never be like that but still Schulmanator Thanks, it's all in the lack of color MilitantRadical Thanks a lot Bastet69008 Thank youuu Crazyforsimcity Thanks Prophet42 Thanks Gannet They're great aren't they? Ln X Wow, thanks Tonraq Thanks Carl...
Huston
R•E•P•L•I•E•S Schulmanator Thanks! TekindusT Thanks a lot, Lot Editor was steaming hot after the amount of lotting I put in Tonraq Thanks Carl, so you can still remember my bid? Cool spursrule14 Thanks, I did pay a bit of attention to it especially Hazani Pratama Thank you city89 If only...I'm not much of an airport guru, and didn't complete it. Some day, may be weixc812 Thanks a lot NMUSpidey Trams are fun to build and watch. A little complicated to integrate it into a city, but still great to have...
Huston
Schulmanator Thanks Schriefer Thanks a lot, and sure, it's a BAT from Somy's archive website but I wasn't sure about the name. You'll definitely find it in that hotlink though to his website. It has pretty much all the stuff he's made MilitantRadical Thanks. I've been playing the game for, round about, 7 or 8 years now. I got the about 2 years after its initial release and hadn't found Simtropolis until about 3 years after I got it in '09 TekindusT Thanks and you don't have to look far since they are...
Huston
slickbg56 A trip down memory lane is always nice. I loved that part too. I always tried to get as high a land value as possible and always tried to spread it out around the city. Of course, you'd usually get sparse concentrations in different areas. I had to use parks constantly just to get them that high. Did you have a different system? Tonraq Isometric is king Ln X You had astronomical land value in a village? How? TekindusT Hope you do, feeling a little alone and outnumbered Sexysark:P Thanks, it's...
Huston
R•E•P•L•I•E•S feeroz123 Thanks, glad you see it that way NMUSpidey Well thanks Zerx They're from the BSC Parks set over at SimCity 4 Devotion's LEX. pasqualegiò Thanks 111222333444 Ha, yeah, they're such downers Thanks! TekindusT Well thanks Tekindus! KonstantinII Thanks Fox Thanks a lot Fox And I'm not sure I'll be going back to the AIN though, it feels to much like an obligation to RP and make updates for countries. But you never know And I do a lot of procrastination, but also since it's all sandbox...
