The Next Step

By Nirwanda,

Okay, Welcome Back! Now, I realise that the majority opinion on the last entry is correct, as well hey, majority rules. I did have a vision for that city as being a 'Micro-Metropolis', drawing inspiration from SC 2013's mega towers... But as rightly stated it just wasn't executed correctly and fell short of my standard. Anyway, Past is past and hey I learnt something and hopefully (in some way) you guys got something from it but now I have upped the standard. This next city is still a work in progress, its...

Replies: Schriefer & Schulmanator: Thanks guys!! Major Entry time! Time for a look in at the costal city of Porthaven and it's harbour, situated on a peninsula jutting out into waters whipped by the roaring 40's. As always, click for full image if you need to! An overview of the Inner Suburbs, Harbour and CBD. Due to space restrictions, terrain and many heritage buildings, the Inner Suburbs and CBD cover a relatively small area. One end of Esplanade, where Water and dirty industry resides next to the...

Rain Rain go Away

By Nirwanda,

Replies: Schriefer: Cheers! Crazyforsimcity: Oh really? Lord Branham: Thankyou! CorpusDei: Uh actually no. I don't use any day n night mods because I can't update the game and get plugins to light up. Ive tried file juicer and a myriad of other things but nothing really works. I just waited for the optimum time during sunset. But thanks for the compliment! TitanicBuff: Yeah I've heard some other GIMP disaster stories but i'm still using it with no problems. agunter999: Yes, but don't we all forget to turn...

Inner City Mosaic

By Nirwanda,

Hi all, Just downloaded Gimp to make mosaics and this is my first one! I am aware that the top frame doesn't quittteee match up with the one beneath it but for a first attempt I am proud. Anyway the photos are of a city I have made with no name. Although the story in my mind is that it is the core of a coastal mountain city. And of course featuring my probably now trademarked Commerzbank and Empire State. Vlasky I'm still keen for that reincarnation! Also, the construction site in the second last frame....

Trouble in Rockdale

By Nirwanda,

Video Entry! Take a look and see the trouble that is brewing on the Island city-state of Rockdale.... http://youtu.be/kyKsRrLEk7g Credits: Music: Johnny Cash - God's gonna cut you down. IRL footage; Children of Men, Blade Runner, The Bourne movies, Romeo & Juliet, Dawn of the Dead, Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist & Rockdale city archives. Some of you may have noticed that this quick cut style is reminiscent of the Dawn of the Dead remake... You're right. That is the inspiration.

REPLIES: @ Bipin : Cheers! To hear that from you is like getting a wink from a rockstar or the bouquet at a wedding! @ SimRico : Look on here! I've started one little thing and another is in the pipeline. Thanks for the imput too! @ Mulefisk : Yeah last time I was in Melbourne I rode around on the trams a bit but Melboune's grid is really only the city and St. Kilda Road and a few other main roads (?) because once you ride out a bit it kinda goes windy. Anyway yes I have looked into it and done some...

Okay to kick us off for this little update, in reply to @ feeroz123 's mention of lakes, I've added this in: More coming next update. In the mean time I thought I'd share some more pictures of liverpool, which without further ado, are here; Good chat guys! More talk next time. But don't forget to leave an opinion as to where the city should go!

A New Hope

By Nirwanda,

Okay. *deep breath*. Running bootlegged SC4 on a Mac and using weird patches does mean $%&^! happens. And it so happens that after a power cut and an unsuccessful look on my hard drive I am abandoning the previous CJ. Anyhow, this is the latest from me. I've decided to call this city Liverpool because it's fairly generic, there is a liverpool everywhere. I have built the core of the city and what I am planning to do with it is build it with you guys, the master city builders. Every post will be a new...
