Here's my region, New Alexandria (pop 6,092,328). I've been working on it for quite some time. A lot of work still needs to be done still, mostly the suburbs and the farms.

Originally posted by: HawaiiBill Let's see if I got this right. You wrote, "It's really annoying to see a dead end to your city." I thought it was pretty clear in the instructions that you could draw any transportation line -- road, railroad, etc. -- to the edge of your city's region and have smooth connection to adjoining square. Was that not clear? You can do the same thing with water lines or power lines and probably some other techniques I haven't discovered. Then, drawing from the other square there are little nubs along the edge indicating where to connect roads, etc., between the cities across the edges of the squares. Important for the economy, too. Or did I miss something?quote> Um ... I have a region with 6 million sims so i think i know how to connect the cities. What I meant was that it would be nice to see parts of the other cities when you're playing so that you have an idea of what to build, where to make the precise connections... etc. -

I'd like to add to all these great ideas First of all, a 3D view! (wouldn't it be great to view your city in the perspective of your sims?) Secondly, more custom content friendly (no more scrolling the menus for minutes to plop a custom building) Furthermore, smarter AI (for God's sake use the highway, not the road that runs parallel to it!) And lastly, a more integrated region for a smoother transition between the cities. It's really annoying to see a dead end to your city. The world is not a square! At least make it so that you can see (but not control) the fringes of neighbouring cities so you don't have to guess where to make the connections. One question, I'm not an expert on 3D modelling but can it be made possible so that the unrendered BAT buildings can be ported to Sim City 5? It would be a shame to see all these beautiful work go to waste when SC5 comes out. -

This is the first topic I started on Simtropolis . Imagine that the quake that devastated LA destroyed most of it. Thats where this region picks off. New Alexandria is a sprawling metropolis based on Los Angeles (thanks to whoever made the region) It's my biggest region in population and size. Like LA , the main transportation is Highways. Here's the Region pic: This is a 800 by 300 image and the original size was approx. 3000 by 1000! Imagine how big it is! Right now, it consists of 7 cities. Much More to come very soon. All comments welcome!! BTW, this is not a recreation of LA and no radical mods were used.
