    Great city! Good traffic flow and good public transport system
  3. BTT: 20 January 2011

    Great to be in the top three! Gosh - I need some more time at the moment, something rare last weeks. [img]https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/45.gif[/img] Guess the summer holidays will be the best times.
  4. Hello everyone, this is my newest creation: Trivordam. Located in Gregory Valley, it is the city with the highest population - even higher than Grigoria, the capital. I will work on this city from the CBD on, as I have worked on a quite rarely seen grid method. The city will thrive on Offices, Industry and a bit of Agriculture. Most of the first pictures were taken in the '60s, to give a small first impression of the CBD. This city will build on realism, so no 100% paradise city - sorry! Here are the pictures, expect an update about once a week or so, because I do not have much time. An overview The stadium The bridges going over the sunken expressway: I decided to add a few skyscrapers, to make the city look more realistic and make the few left really pop out. One of the older, poorer, parts of the city. I hope you enjoyed the first update! Damastius

    Thank you for your comments again, everybody! ------------------ I have been experimenting with photoshop a little more and after some help from TowerDude I was able to add clouds to a screenshot. If you see screenshots with clouds, please keep in mind that those are the first I made. While Trivordam City (TDC) is still recovering from the thrilling police chase... ...Jack is on a holiday in Felora Creek. He is staying in a small hotel in Trover, to get away from the big city for a while. He likes Trover a lot, except for the construction site behind his hotel. Nature in Felora Creek is wonderful. Sometimes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere when you are just a couple of yards away from Trover. Felora Creek is already hundreds of years old, and it is just huge. Here's a picture taken from a small plane some days ago. Jack has also been to Becken, where he bought a nice painting of the centre of the town. Tomorrow he is going to hike again, and he promises to make many pictures of his little tour in nature. But now, relax and take a look at the vast lands of Felora Creek at dawn... See you next time, DM.

    Congratulations T&R!
  9. Introduction, and Top Ten +10 for 2010/12/23

    Great to have you here. I do not really understand what you mean however, is this chart dated from christmas eve 2010? Is this for SC4 journals only? Thanks.
  10. Trivordam: The Source of Opportunity

    Thanks guys, great to see some SC4 players visiting here aswell! Welcome to Felora Creek, a rural area east of TDC. You will sometimes even find nature areas untouched by human activity, but we'll visit that later. One of the villages in the vast lands is Trover. It is located close to Becken, a small town with about 2.500 inhabitants. Good morning Trover... Sometimes, the fog offers mysterious scenes.. This is Becken. Founded in 1935 and its golden years were in the 50's. The only hints of the good old days are left in the buildings on Foundlander Street. In this region, I am putting attention to the nature like never before. I have started to use ploppable strees and structures more often and it is putting out really well. I really 'trained' my skills before making this region, especially with farms and suburbian areas. Here are some examples. Plopped trees and plazas around the football field. Lovely shots of farmland "touching" the edge of the forest and Trover. Thank you for your interest in this update, and I hope you enjoyed the pictures. The reason why I am not continuing my story is because I have little time to make the updates, and especially the Police Chase pictures were eating my time. I will of course continue it someday, soon. See you next time, DM.

  24. Trivordam: The Source of Opportunity

    Thank you for your comments my fellow readers! @TekindusT : I have photoshopped everything in, that has to do with the chase. Thank you for your comment! @Ilikeseattle (old CJ section) : I never thought of blurring the sky at night before, stupid me, thanks!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have been working at the village of Trover which is a couple of miles away from TDC. It is a very small village, made with a never before seen tactic of farm-placing. Enjoy the pictures. Ofcourse, at a certain point in the story Trover will enter. The nature is not very big yet. It takes much time to make such a natural scene. One of the farms made by my new placing method. It has been made using plazas! The main street of Trover. The hamlet turned into a village in the 80's, when some new factories opened and the workers moved with it. The watertower of Trover offers typical Trover scenes, taken on a boat near the bank of the river flowing towards TDC. See you next time, DM
