This does look like a very realistic place, keep up the good work

Here's downtown Laurent South Core North & South Core Central: Nightshot: Good job guys, great CBD's!

I found that it helps if your city's plot of land isn't all flat and that things aren't always grid style. When zoning low density residential, never use a grids, just have your main roads connecting to a small industrial area that is bordered with trees (it doesn't matter where the plot of industry is, as it will change over to HT in the future). Have roads going east-west and north-south following the landscape making large areas to fill in with light residential. As your population increases and you find yourself zoning medium density residential (which I would recomend doing after about half of your city's budget can handle the extra expenses from landfills, schools, healthcare et cetera) put the roads closer together and use one way roads on either the east-west roads, or the north-south roads, so they go to and from your main job source, or to a main artery like an avenue. using cheap forms of mass transit, and enabling orderances for transit and other things to make your city a better place to live help as well. Here is a picture of my medium density area in my city Treau Shores. I hope it helps!

Also, adding busses and other forms of cheap transit helps too. Here's a picture of my medium density area in a city, this is while using the NAM as well. I hope this helps.

This is the downtown core in Laurent.

Your city is absolutely, without a doubt, amazing! Great job. I can opnly imagen how much time this must of taken.

This game looks great visually, but I hope it's not a strain on my laptop, and I hope that it lets you get involved with your city like you could in SimCity titles. I know I'm probably going to get it.

Here is Laurent, the major downtown core is situated here supplying the region of Laurill with just under 400 000 Commercial jobs. Saddly, demand for anything has been very low, as land values outside the city are very high.

I started in grade 3 with Sim City 3000 Unlimited, big huge box and all. I spent over $50 on it I know that for sure, but it was worth it. I still think it can be more fun than Sim City 4, plus it's a lot easier as well.

Hey here's my skyscraper district with no plopable buildings, except the JH Center, from Laurent. I was thinking "chicago" at the time, so explains the river through the downtown.

I too have to go with Toronto. New York, and cities like it, are very nice, but they are way too crowded. Toronto has a ton of greenspace, and if you travel East on the 401, past Yonge Street, the landscape varies, and it's just a comforting environment to be in. Toronto's downtown is also very centralized (is that even a word?), while New York is just a huge mass of tall buildings, there isn't a defined downtown core.

These are looking very well so-far, and Deever, where did you get Prudential Plaza from Chicago?

Alright everyone, here's my picture of Downtown Laurent at night! I hope you all like it. It's not the full view of the downtown, as that was .06 over the limit, ah well.

Hmm, Coca Tertoka, reminda of a prarie land ready for a tornado or seven lol , just kidding, looks cool.

Hmm, Hard to remember...Definatly when it first came out. 4 years or 5 years? I frgt

lol wow, this city is the best, everything blends in together perfectly. nothing too outragous 10\10

I don't know if this will help, but I noticed that u have a lot of streets, not roads, usually in my cities, i have main roads that stay roads unless traffic on them gets to high, then they change to avenues. Do you put in transportation systems like bus stations and such? because i find that bus stations really help. I noticed that transportation is usually the key to having a successful city, and beleive me, I've suffered and witnesed the consequences of a lack of good public transit. (I despise those no job zots..)

Windsor Ontario.....It has one of the highest crime rates in the country, and it is extremely unorganzied and scattered everywhere....plus, the roads are way to congested, espescially at the bridge. I hope they go through with twining the ambassador bridge, it would help.

Same here, SC3K was actually my first simcity game that i bought in grade three...for around $60...but it was worth it, now im grade eleven, and i still prefer it over other simcity games because it stuck to me. I even imported SC3K music into SC4!

To be honest, I think it's false. It's called global warming, yet we just got snow in med april
