Hi there, I have been thinking in making a big rail hub for Larna, this should be real size, so I think it is going to be prety Big, because I have seen in the web some huge trains which might require big tracks: Though I don't know good lots for train Hubs, with Housewares and cranes, Would you help me?

Tizapan

By Jorge_carrillo,

This is the largest city that I have made using a pluggin folder with only italian style buildings. After I got the Historical down town, I declared historical all the building and changed the pluggin folder to the Full pluggins folder and unblock the maxis buildings, then I created high density areas to get more modern neighborhoods. This was the result:

Perhaps I should had have to add this topic in the first post, any way, this is the flag of Larna, it represents the People of the Hipanic American United States, mixed bloded of American natives and the Spanish - Portuguese citizens. The flag is made with the simbols of Aztec simbol of the Eagle fighting the snake, and the Royal coat of arms of the Spanish-Portuguese Empire ruled the first time by Felipe II. King of Spain. In the Midle of the flag a cross symbolises the truth faith that allowed this two...

Save the forest

By Jorge_carrillo,

The growing of Larna threatens the lasts forest of the low lands. People demand protection for those trees to be preserved as city parks. Then the new law of urbanization had to be edicted: Article 224 All the groups of trees with extension larger to 10 acre must be registred in the catalogue of the Bureau of Enviromental issues Article 225 All the forest with extension larger to 50 acre have to be protected as a reserve of biodiversity Article 226 Streets Avenues or Roads must go around the boundary of...

San Marcos is the firs large port of Larna. And as you know, Larna is a very populated city. however Larna is not a coast city but rather an inland one, that is why the San Marcos is an artificial Port . Now I am figurating out how to set the port areas, I think that the port has to have Container, Oil and Bulk Materials areas, I am making a recheck of the lots I have and those which might be useful for this purpose. Next pictures show the land of the port which is clearly an artificial one, and also show...

Hi there, Some posts behind, I anounced that I would be working in a Rail Yard for Larna. After such anouncement I devoted my time to search for lots which might be for some use. I realized then that a Rail Yard would 've been a bit boring if it were not used in combination with a seaport. That is why now, I am showing this picture of what I am building as the San Marcos Puerto, which will be the First Large scale Comercial port of Larna:

The Central Island of San Marcos Port is fully devoted to Oil and Gas trading. the east side of the island is for liquid hicrocarbon, and the west side is for gas hidrocarbon. I will keep updating, I have gotten the plots from many different places, I have links to all of them in my blogspot, searh for Mysimcities.blogspot.

The most populated city of Larna is San Anatolio, the interesting thing is that I am not using CAM Mod, neither any industrial job multiplier, it is just under the maxis game rules, perhaps only NAM mod, but no HSR, No RHW, just standard highways, roads, buses and rail, and in the case of San Anatolio, no subway, no E-rail. I am neither using any cheat of water, power, garbage or any other, it is 100% maxis rules, save the NAM. I was not very used to add new buildings, that is why this city is very maxis...

Court defined that only Fams can be established in those lands The lands in dispute are in yellow

When I presented Charles V Airport Larna had almos 30 million people, here I present the Note from Reuters about new Airport of México city and its 6 runways and a picture of CV A 6 runways,...

Sorry to disapoint you again. This time I am posting 2 options of urbanization for smal houses 1x1 with gardens and parks. But As you know I like straight streets to connect them easier to the avenues which follow the patherns of the rest of the region. In this case I have 2 options one with big blocks and the other one with small blocks, both are blocks with gardens in the middle along the block. Dark gray lines are avenues, black lines are roads, and light gray lines are streets, Darck green spaces are...

Well as you know I usually like to post when my city moves one million ahead in population, but now to break a little bit that logic I would like to post few pics of one of those costal cities with lo population, its name is Cihuatlán: (sorry for the yellow lines By the Way those twin towers grew up by themselves, it was not intended:
Jorge_carrillo
Trying to find the advantages of a urbanization NY Style. The blocks are made of north - south avenues each 14 spaces and roads running east - west each 6 spaces with east west avenues each 8 roads. At this moment the city lacks of any masive mean of transportation, no subway, no buses, no rail, only cars and pedestrians. I guess that such is the cause of so many buildings in poor conditions, because of the high noise levels in the streets and the high levels of air pollution. Then the next step will be to...

Metepec

By Jorge_carrillo,

This Time I am presenting you the low density district of Metepec, Metepec is a City which grew over former fields of crops, The farmers wanted to keep a low density use of the land even when exchanging its use from agriculture to urban, though the 90% of the houses are 1x1 tile, the city grew wnicely and soon became one of the districts most desirable in Larna. The mall of Metepec has retail stores of exclusive and renouned brands of wear, resraurants and enertainment places. It is easy to go to the mall...

A big city needs a big rail station, Larna needed a main Passenger Train Station able to move millions of commuters, it is linked to the web of highways and to the web of Monorail and to the lines of HSR of which it is the core station too, It accounts with eight modules of rails connected by underground and interlinked to exchange trains between modules, It has the Corporate Offices of the Larna Rail Services Company, which is incharge of the management of the whole rail system of Larna.It is next to the...

With joy and sadness I come to show advances of the development of Larna, Joy for the new that we have already reach the Milestone of 40 million Sims, Sadness because it seam that I have lost the Airpor, unable to open the city and play with it to record a video. I would ask you if some body would like to try to open the file in his own game, I gould be glad to send a copy of it, just to check if they can open it and thus confirming that the problem is in my computer,
