May I introduce you to the small village "Larrington" in the Lopräsmut County: It's a really small settlement with ~a dozen houses, but it has a great history as one of the 3 "granary villages" in the area. During the 18th century, there was a war between the nation Lopräsmut is placed in and another neighbouring country. Bad luck for the old town of Lopräsmut, as a city in the farmland it was forced to provide the whole national army with food. Only this 3 villages were left to supply the greater area of...

Lenwood Country Club

By Moerp,

Fields and farms.....cows and horses.....meadows and creeks....hills and forests.......isn't nature beautiful? Why don't spend some time there? But...camping? Really? No. Of course not. Why don't visit.... LENWOOD COUNTRY CLUB? Awyeeeeeee! With gorgeous view on the forest we destroy to gain money. Many squarekilometres of former habitat, now golf course. Champagne-filled pool and much more! You may even visit the village beside and look how the people who serve you live. Just a joke, nobody is interested...

At first, special thanks are going to Ln X, who was my tutor for this entry and showed me his tricks to grow decent looking industrial areas, a big "Dankeschön" for him. Now let's just start: I hope you don't mind the Sepia/Foggy looking style, I think it's a bit too dense sometimes:3 Well, that's it. I think I now can handle these industrial stuff, though I'm not nearly as great as my teacher^^ I hope you all have a nice evening, I'm now going to party hard. Replies (finally ) Tonraq: Thanks, I didn't...

Well, because of job problems (I have them all the time....literally) I decided to develop another industrial area in one of my cities. Step 1: Search a good place Nice one, along those major road and the rail line, some trees for a good start for the high tech industry I need. Step 2: Build the traffic grid Yeah, should be ok, I guess. Won't be a huge area, so minor streets are ok, but maybe you should use some of the modded avenues like Ave 4 and so on. Also buid some stations. Step 3: Civics Fire...

I thought it would be interesting to show you my style of playing. Maybe I can help you or maybe you can help me, so please give me as many tips as I can:D At first I search for an area (in this case I used the edge of the RHW intersection I build for the last entry) and start to laying the street grid (I make it as curvy as I can, so it doesn't look like a chess board:3) After that I already begin to zone It will be a suburb of a bigger city, so I let there be some agriculture too. Then I plop some parks...

Heyho guys, first at all, sorry for the lack of content the last months. Today I try to develop a city tile, inspired by a northern-german strip of land in "Schleswig-Holstein" called "Friedrichskoog". I didn't try to copy it, but I was clearly inspired by it (I wasn't ever there tho lol). So here's the area we'll build in (the dike is already there): here's the master plan: Black = Main Road White = Railway Red = settlements everything else will stay green or will be transformed to agricultural area...
Moerp
Heyho, well because I was bored I made some shots for another entry of my "how to build stuff I do all the time". At first I laid out the zones. Because it's just a small Maxis-city tile, you can do this at once, and press "Start" if you already zoned the whole area. You see, for a farming town (with SPAM, because the vanilla-farms wouldn't create enough jobs for a whole town), you primarly need residetials and, yeah, farms. A bit of commercial at the crossing of the highways creates additional jobs for...
Moerp
Yeah, a small update from our new city. there are several new suburbs like that closed community here: Home of the first Rugby Team of Lopräsmut (1. RTL - I have no idea about sports and especially not about Rugby but I had these beautiful pitches, so I used them). Besides this, the tourism in the town has grown. There are several camping grounds around the city in the beautiful nature. Here are some campers near a small, fancy pond.... ....strange isn't it? Those campers reported about the same mysterious...

Well, it's my first actual try on a w2w-city and I really like the main shape of this town. I just have the problem, that sometimes one or two single-family homes grow in more-story apartment districts. But at least I fixed the problem with employment crisis the most elegant way - I ass-kicked the §§§ sims with enourmous taxes out of the town:D And it works way better than before. Here are the pics: Some suburbs are never allowed to missing, especially in my cities^^ That's it, have a nice evening and...

So I planned to develop a small part of a town like this (I'm sorry for the interface): And I received this: Mattb325s apartment building is DOMINATING. I really need to clean my plugins folder. Also this mixture of european and american styled houses is terrible. Maybe I should even enable the Maxis RHI again. Replies Gannet: Well, I like it too, that's why I'm using it:D stockslips: Thank you, I'm kinda into this style with apartment complexes and canals in the last time Schriefer. Thanks! Huston. Thank...

Filler #4: housing project

By Moerp,

Well, this post is fomed of some pictures I recycled from my recent forum entry and a brand new, exciting, fricking, mega-hyper-dyper new picture!!!!!1eleven! Oh my gosh, it's such a perfectly lazy way to post new Journal entries! Now seriously, I worked on a city today but I only got one new picture, and because I don't think it makes sense to post multiple times only one picture in a mostly weekend-based CJ. So here you got your recycling (it saves the enviroment too): And the new one: Have a nice...

Today I'm just uploading a small filler, so you have something from me again:) I saw the new entry of Journey through Paengia by Paeng and I was just amazed about it. Inspired by this, (I wasn't really motivated the last days, because the vacations in Germany ended) I just build a small city centre using some of the mods from SimPeg, kinda Paengs content website. Here you go: It's a small new housing profit across the urban pond in the downtown. Across the street, there's a small commercial centre, so the...

Filler #2: Four Seasons

By Moerp,

Today just a quick low quality filler. I tried to make a "Four Seasons" theme, but without a snow mod and a seasonal building it's quite pointless. The watermill is the "Summerton Mill" available on the LEX. Spring: Summer: Fall: Winter: There isn't also enough difference between spring and summer in my opinion. I just wanted to show you something till nextweekend. Have a nice eveni....wait, it isn't in the evening already....have a nice afternoon though guys. Replies Huston: At first, thanks for the...

Filler #1

By Moerp,

Because of many Shutdowns of Simcity, just a small filler today, sorry. It's a little park in a suburban area across from the local High School. Originally I wanted to show you more views of the town, then the game crushed and I was too annoyed to restart it Sorry guys, but have a nice evening though.

Farmland #1

By Moerp,

Here I am again. I wasn't really motivated this week, so there were'nt any new entries. As I told you, I update irregular, but next week the christmas vacation begins in germany, so I'll have enough time then. Therefore I made a little mmp work: There are no mmps in the last picture. It's all the Arden seasonal tree controller (you may have noticed I really like that one ) Have a nice evening guys! Replies agunter999: Thanks!
Moerp

Dat comeback tho.

By Moerp,

Yeah. Hey. Well, as you noticed, I was'nt active for a long time (happy St Patrick's Day btw.). The reason behind this is simple: I have problems with mod input, a lack of creativity and way too much other nice games to play (I play the heck out of CS:GO for example :3). I'm sorry for this. But if you are still interested in my CJ, you can keep it alive with suggestions of what I could do next in upcoming entries^^. Since I saw the first gameplays of Cities: Skylines (Although I don't own it) I gained new...

Damnit Moments #2

By Moerp,

Today I show you Simcity logics: We have a big industrial area with many jobs.... ....a big highway (for only 6000 inhabitants!!!) without any traffic jams.... ....many commercial areas..... ....AND NO JOBS THOUGH-.- It has nothing to do with the entry at all, but could you recommend any low wealth service-commercial BATs? i only have gas stations^^ Replies Please comment my last entry though, I will reply to you in the next one, promise... pcwhiz24: Thanks for the compliments, I use the Pyrenean terrain...

Damnit Moments #1

By Moerp,

Just a filling today. So I hope you all know these "Damnit" Moments we all have time to time? I tried to build a small, lovely town with industrial zone in the north and a rail and -bus system. Look what i got: I didn't even want to get mid wealth! That's the reason why I like mmp-ing, you'll never have such problems. Anybody knows how I can get rid of that? No demand mods installed and not even a huge demand for mid wealth at all. have a nice evening though

Classic.

By Moerp,

Today without any comments :3 Btw, I forgot to turn on the shadows again -.-. Sorry for that, have a nice sunday! Replies MilitantRadical: Yeah, I just don't have so many w2w buildings in the right size:3 I mean, I have the whole "Smalltown, USA" set and some others, but they have really different sizes:( But I don't know any other way too^^ Ln X: I forgot that again, I'm so f****** sorry:3 I just noticed it while uploading and then I didn't want to take all the screenshots again. It's just a shame, as...
Moerp
I'm sorry there are no replies, but I'm really not in the mood to formulate some answers. The next time, I promise^^I...build some new one-family houses along the rail tracks... I...added some w2w areas. And essentially, that's it!I'm sorry there isn't any more new-build stuff in this town, but I just started to play Sc4 again, so please don't judge me!Replies will be written the next entry. Promise.and something german: I hope this entry isn't too unconventional^^Have a nice...night^^
