First of all thank you to all who answered my last question about suburbs style of plannification, thanks to GDK, Schulmator, Kyoto Coyote and Kisa Atsuko, I am really honored by your only review of my humble posts. I comment you that I tried the small blocks system but it looked not so good, first because I had not many houses of smal tile, size (1x1 or 1x2 or 2x1) and so the result was with a single style of maxis house and the look was kind of comunist. I tried to download more small houses and I did,...

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.

By Jorge_carrillo,

This time I am posting the latest work I have been doing, I keep Growing Larna in the cities close to the southern rivers, and we reached 33.5 million sims in the region. I have experimented some different types of urbanizations by making more usage of Train Viaducts as the core public mean of transportationfor the latest city in which I have been Working, Santa María Bertilla. Santa MAría Bertilla is a city in which the buildings get very repetitive, I don't like that but the buildings are left free 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...

If you can help me to find larger capacity stations which do not require larger area I am going to thank you.

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...

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:

I know that my regin look very unatural and the fact that it lacks of agriculture areas makes it even more unreal, That is why I am exploring the osibilities of using the SPAM by PEG. Jala is my first big city in which I am using the SPAM. Jala is south the Main Airport of Larna. I probably will us this mod in all the non urban blocks.

The metropolitanArea of Larna has 4 cities with large green areas, I have to tell you that Larna is full of Maxis Buildings because in the beginning I only used to download parks and historic Landmarks or civics. I am not good with Large parks so I am sorry if I disapoint you: This is the amusement park of Larna

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,

Larna 34.5 M

By Jorge_carrillo,

Well I am giving the news of Larna reaching 34.5 Millions but I am also taking advantage of giving a little prospective of how is it that so many different cities fit in the same region, the next picture shows what I am doing. I am trying to put some rivers which I have created in another region with the same configuration in the size of the cities, You can see that the voids fit between regions, this is because i am moving the rivers from Rios to Larna.
