Hi there

By Jorge_carrillo,

Hi there, this is my first time publishing my cities here in Simtropolis, somehow I feel myself to be no at the level of all the explendid cities here around, and yet I don't feel myself at the same level of all you, yet I want to share with you my work. Sorry for my english, I am better speaking spanish This is Larna as I have developed until now, A mixture of flat lands a steepy mountains.

Hi there, This is one more update about the Airport Emperor Charles V. In this time I'm glad to say that this is almost finished. All runways, terminals, roads and avenues, rails and stations, restaurants, offices and parkings are finished and I only have gardens and small details left to the end. I wouldn't say that this wasn't a hard and tedious job, but I think that once I see the result of this piece of my imagination I come to realize that the final result was better than I thought in the beggining....

Larna 33.5 M

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...

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...

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
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
Jorge_carrillo
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...

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...

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:

This time I am posting to update my jurnal because I need help, I am having problems with te transport system, Particularly in the Train station and the commuting to the Subway System, my stations are just overpassed. If you can help me to find larger capacity stations which do not require larger area I am going to thank you.

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:

Hi there. Lately I have been working in the main airport of Larna, as you know Larna needs a big airport and I never did it before because I didn't have the props necesary to do it. My first attempt was the King Felipe II Airport. Now I am working with the Emperor Charles V Airport that is quite larger. The next picture shows in big scale the elements I am using in the airport. In Black, and in the borders of the picture there are 8 runways In Brown there is a web in the middle that are avenues, some 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...
