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,

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...

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...

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...

Well president of México just today anounced the construction of the new Airport of Mexico City, and the Airport is going to have 6 runways, it was a kind of epiphany that My Airport CVA planed for Larna also have 6 runways, Arround México city we live almost 30 million people in its greater are, including Querétaro. 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,...

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,...

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...

News about the New High Way that will link Larna with Trinidad and with the Costal cities have spread, and People is Wondering through which lands will it be built. Delegates from the central government are going to speak with the farmers to show them the plan of the new highway to calm people and to start arrangements for land expropiation and, if it is the case, liquidation or exchange to affected farmers. Farmers wanted the Highway to also allow them to move their crops on it, And after negociations,...

By Jorge_carrillo,

This time I am showing the last areas of larna under development, you can see close to the Airport CV, a smal hill wich is surrounded by avenues and streets, that area will be a commercial and habitaional area, and the hill will be preserved as a recreational park with dams and trees:

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:

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.

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...

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.

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...
