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^^

Quick update

By Moerp,

Today just...yeah...a quick update^^ I worked on: improvements of the inner town core... ...added some green detail for the residents ...started to set up a canal system.... ...aaaand set the basics for an elevated rail system. the major tracks are already build, more and especially more DETAIL (such as walls, fences, etc..) to follow. There wasn't an update last week due to a heavy party night, so don't be unforgiving:3 Well, that's it, have a nice evening! PS: Today is Hexenfeuer or Walpurgisnacht in...

Hey guys, I really wanted to play sc4 again this week, but I didn't really got well with my time disposition today so, I accomplished only enough for a teaser :/ This time I'll try to construct a small US-styled city. I was a little buzzed at this time, so I didn't really made any plans about any kind of more complex traffic systems. i'll have to plan around the next time^^ Let's call it a challnge:3 Unfortunately, all this awesome swedish houses are in the US-tile sets. They look great tho, but don't...

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...

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...

Views of the town

By Moerp,

Remember the weekly updates some months ago? This time is gone^^ i didn't actually build much more, but I did some mmp work at last. A small lookout at the windcliff. It's a little nature preserve, so no cars are allowed. The "upper town", the commercial towncenter.... aaaand the "lower town", the residential part. The other part of the population lives in the suburbs in the east of the towncenter. A small entry for such a long break, but therefore I will answer the comments of the last entry:3 Is this...

Still Alive

By Moerp,

Still alive. Not much content yet. Much stuff in development still. Such unreplied comments. Many doge. Wow. Procrastination time! Comments will be answered the next time. I'm the last person on earth using doge memes. Bye^^

Well, I'm really sorry I didn't uploaded anything the last weeks, but first I was in Tyrol, then my Grandfather had his birthday and later on I finally got Diablo III which had to be played (meh.). Since then I didn't do much in SC4 but the last days I spent the one or other hour on Windcliff. A brand new industrial area beneath the new established "city"-highway. Here's an overview over the new traffic system (called the "Derpways") The new residential area next to the also new railway. It's elevated...

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...

Nailed it.

By Moerp,

Well, as a quick reminder of what it looked like at the beginning: Starting development: And the result: And now, just some impressions: (You should never try to build such a city with a demand mod activated. If you're unlucky or stupid, like in my case, you don't have enough different lots for the high wealth sims and get the same buildings everywhere. I mean, in the residential districts it looks quite good, but only the Grantosa Café along the main street looks a bit....weird) More like a high-tech...

Almost Finished...

By Moerp,

Okay, everything is zoned now, just some details are missing, such as highway walls. Look: Traffic System only Zones only Everything (with stupid zots -.-) I hope you like what you see:D The final update is coming soon. Have a nice weekend! Replies Caracortada: Modern monument? A CBD or an actual monument/statue?^^ Sorry, I didn't changed the locatio of suburbs and w2w because I was too lazy, though it was originally planned like this, I just did a mistake :x What do you mean with "commercial buildings...
Moerp
Yeah, I made a plan for a new city, I'm like semi-finished, here you are: Thats what I mean with "semi-finished". In the top "???" tile, I'm propably zoning a commercial district with some supermarkets and huge stores and that (can you suggest me some?^^) In the bottom "???"-tile, I will propably just build a park and plant some trees, what is your opinion about that? And in the mid "???"-tile I have absolutely no idea I really need your help about that. First, I planned the w2w area there, but...
Moerp
Well, I struggle with some bugs in the game, but I finally managed to upload some new pics. Here we are: First problem: the tree controller doesn't work properly. I use Arden, but I never get a leasent result with none of the sub-controllers included in the main file. I checked all my plugins and I'm sure I have all the dependencies. I used the River-Controller in this city and you see, I get nearly no actual trees. I'm not sure if this is purpose, but the trees are really rare. With the coast-controller...
Moerp
Well, I finished the mediterranean island I started to create recently, so let's see..... We arrive via a tourist boat at the small port. Then we have to clamber all the way up to the first terrace... Here we are, exhausted, but excited. The St. Michaelis priory is famous for its delicious wine.... Doesn't this look delicious? After that, we go to a small settlement on the same terrace.... Imagine the view you'd had every morning We finally reach the core of the town, on the upper terrace: The thing in the...

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...
Moerp
Well, I'm sorry I dont get done anything this time, but I swear next Friday I will upload the next actual entry^^ Well, I suddenly had a spontaneous imagination of an old town on an island (the most overused and kitschy scenery I could imagine) and now I have a really strange motivation Here's what I got so far (actually, it's just the island that's done): Red: city core blue: small port yellow: monastery(?) green: green space/fields or "meadows" (for small animals of course) The grid is actually on...

Teaser the second

By Moerp,

I'll upload maybe even two new entries the next weekend, I currently just struggle with some lots, so I'm not sure about the second, "surprise"-entry:D We'll see.... Don't be scared, I didn't already fully developed this map, there's going to be more zoned area and suburbs at the left of the highway^^. I'll reply the comments of this and the last entry at the actual CJ update next weekend, like everytime. Bye, have a nice evening!
Moerp
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...
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...

Some random pics again

By Moerp,

Yeah, I played on an older town of mine again, I kinda forgot during the months. The update is already today because tomorow is a holiday in Germany and after that, there is 1 week no school:D I'm a bit exhausted though, because we had a excursion today and visited the local home for asylum seekers; playing with the children and stuff, it was really fun:D But enough of the pseudo-diary here are some pics: A quick shot of the whole settled area of the region Some suburbs in the northern part of the city...

Another quick entry^^

By Moerp,

(I'm not good with GIMP, I know:D) This village was founded in the next area to a lake, which has the same strange properties like the other lakes and ponds. In fact, this town needs no additonal heating systems, the lake holds the city even in winter by ~20 degrees. This is a huge economic saving, so there's some industry in this village too. There are rumors, scientists found a strange, yellow-glowing substance in the lake, but no one has proven this... Some more impressions: The whole area around the...
