thank you, and that is the part i am excited about.... when it gets to the point where downtown expands and more nice highrises go in... that will be a little bit though :)

i am getting many ideas from these farm pics.... hopefully soon i will get to the farm part of parkland!

i wish rhw were more customizable and has as many options as the nam.... it looks awesome, but not enough for parkland yet... these are cool pictures

Originally posted by: jim 546 that may be because City Life waaay overrates populations.quote> sc4 overrates pops too.... this is correctable though, just by modding the lots to have a different capacity great pictures everyone, these are some pretty large cities! lol

these are some pretty cool, pics, i have gotten ideas from a couple of them!

there a few similar interchanges in nashville tn too.... not to this extent however.... there are two that put you on what seems the opposite side of the road to deter speeding and create better traffic flow.... although i constantly see people hesitating and going the wrong direction once its all said and done.... for some reason (and im american) people in america dont seem to understand how to properly drive through interchanges and are very hesitant to change in roadway design.... i wish this were different

i think a portion of this project is an accident waiting to happen... similar to what just happened at the sony HQ in NYC..... some ice fell from the building itself, and landed on the glass atrium and shattered and landed on a party of people below it.... the 'awning' (since i dont know what they choose to call it, could easily be susceptible to falling debris and shatter on people.... it is a great project all together though... i really like it

both of those download links to those dependencies are on that page you posted a link to... at the bottom i do believe the names of the files have changed since this was released, because of consolidation, but they are still the same props and will fix your issue

just a quick fact i just did the math on... inside the downtown loop, the population is 10,657 located in various high rises and low rises

haha @muck308, im glad i could get the attention to it thanks for all the comments! i will hopefully have south of downtown up in the next few days or week.

its actually smaller than i planned... i was modelling heavily off of Vanderbilt University in Nashville TN, where i currently am, and it is larger than this version i have made. maybe it will grow haha

i dont, but it has always been a goal of mine to become a city planner or developer..... time will tell... im 24 now, so i better get kicking... lol and thanks for the compliment, it means a lot :)

Parkland skyline is dominated by residential towers, and that includes its tallest.... Dont worry, it is still realistic... check out austin to see where i got inspiration for my skyline... This is the Ritz Carlton Hotel and Residence Tower in Parkland Stats : Height : 801 ft Floors : 50 Hotel Floors : 18 Amenities Floors : 2 Residential Floors : 30

cool, this has since changed, but i think i may duplicate it somehow in the newest version of parkland

yes, i have had many versions of parkland, and thank you for the compliment, it is very much appreciated. i believe the people who read my cj have enough patience to wait it out with me as i create parkland. it will take time and a lot of work, but i am confident i can do it, and hope readers stay tuned

i recieved a comment in the CJ section that i felt was very relevant and give a little insight into how i go about working on Parkland.... here is the question, followed by my response... comment: i have been looking at your CJ and i do not get a thing. Why did you lay out transportations before the growth of the city? You have immediately created some big road ring around the city, but i thought that comes when a city really needs. If i am not mistaking you have done some jump in the future of 20 years and then missed some part of the natural growth. So is this natural growth or not? Regards. response: but im going in a certain direction with my cj, and higher will come later. it is natural-esque growth. it is modeled after many many real world american cities and has the natural growth look. it is a recreation, not of one city, but american cities. i have a vision of what i want my "end product" to look like, and i lay out roads first. then i create the infill as i have imagined it. once i get it all there, i then treat it like a real city and grow it out from there.

it will get there :)

here is the large, very large, park across the river from downtown... click for larger image

oh i know what you meant, but im going in a certain direction with my cj, and higher will come later. it is natural-esque growth. it is modeled after many many real world american cities and has the natural growth look. it is a recreation, not of one city, but american cities. i have a vision of what i want my "end product" to look like, and i lay out roads first. then i create the infill as i have imagined it. once i get it all there, i then treat it like a real city and grow it out from there. :)

no higher buildings yet... this is a very modest skyline. it is based off several US cities.... modest skylines, and then sprawl..... once i get most of the sprawl laid out, i am going to focus on development, and  possibly a story line with development

thanks everyone! teufel285, i havent gotten anything yet?

development is taking a bit longer than i thought... but here is a teaser to keep you up

thank you, this is where most of  my time is spent

here is the north part of downtown... it is a bit of a mess at the moment, but i am working on south part of downtown click for larger image
