Welcome to Wessex Bend! This is my very first city in SimCity 2013. I hope you like it. Some high density development along Market Street A night shot Some midrise residences A closer look A wide shot of the city I didn't like how my streets were laid out so I did some redesigning. Here's a new look at Market Street. I need to rezone for the high rises to redevelop. And finally a shot of City Hall in the rain I hope you guys like it. I'm still new to SimCity 2013 so I'm still getting used to it. Leave comments and suggestions. Also, let me know of any good mods I may be missing. Thanks (:

Welcome to Verde Delta! Hi all and welcome to Verde Delta! I recently installed SimCity 2013 and will now be showcasing my work in this journal. I hope you guys like it. Here's a shot from my first city. I'll have a more detailed update later. Also, New Philadelphia (my SC4 journal) will resume here. See you later!

New Philadelphia Will Return! Hi everyone! Sorry for the hiatus. School has been crazy but now I'm finished with classes for the summer so I can now focus on SimCity. Going forward I'll be posting updates that are simply photos of my work. I'll not try to write up any storyline anymore. A new graphic identity will come along with the new updates. Also, now that offline mode has become available I finally installed SimCity 2013. I have a new journal for that here. I look forward to getting back into SimCity. See you later!

I actually started playing citybuilding games in general when I was in my early 20's, so I haven't been playing as long as you. And the wierd thing is, on my vista computer (1.8 ghz,4 gb ram) Jordan didn't load, on my wives windows 8 computer (2.4 ghz, 4.5 gb ram) still didn't load, and i even tried on my neighbors windows 7 computer (3.2 ghz, 8 gb ram) it still didn't load, and he already has simcity on his computer, since hes a heavy pc gamer. That means I tried on 3 different platforms, all with varying specs, and still no luck... Hmmm... How do you load the game (i.e. from a CD or program files on the computer?) I had been playing with the CD for the longest time and was getting annoyed by it, so I donwloaded a no CD' crack. That ended up screwing up the game more; I couldn't save, some cities completely disappeared. I finally just purchased a downloadable copy from Amazon for about 15 bucks. I've not had a problem since. And I've got SimCity to run on every OS since it came out so I do not think that would be the cause (Windows 2000 Pro, XP Pro, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8 Enterprise). Hope this info helps. Good luck!

It's good to see that you spend as much time on your graphics as you do your cities.

Oh, thank goodness. I'm 20 and a half and was thinking the other day "how much longer can I play SimCity before it's weird?" I've been playing it since I was a kid and never want to stop. Anyway, I like the rebuild option. I've done this (for different reasons) and really enjoy being able to go back and change things from the original plan. At least don't stop. If you don't mind me asking, what seems to be causing the loading error? And what are your computer specs? - James

Looks very nice.. I enjoyed the long bridge over the lake/creek.

Elwyn & Pennsport: Bringing Two Cities Together Greetings from New Philadelphia. I know it's been over a month since the teaser so I've put a lot of effort into this update. Hope you enjoy it! Today we will begin in Pennsport and make our way to Elwyn. Pennsport is Elwyn's neighbor to the south. With a greater emphasis on high density zoning, Pennsport has become the new center of the Northeast region. Let's begin with some stats. 5.01 | This is downtown Pennsport. It's full of mostly residential buildings but more companies are beginning to set up shop as more highrises make their way onto the scene. 5.02 | Here's the same area but now looking from the east. Pennsport, along with Elwyn, sits on Sunset Bay. Though the coast seems bare, there are a lot of planned developments for this chunk of real estate. 5.03 | Citizens of New Philadelphia are enjoying the newly implemented ferry system. Here passengers are debarking the Pennsport-Elwyn ferry during the evening rush hour. 5.04 | Currently Downtown Pennsport is filled with low density rowhomes and apartments. This will not be the case for long though, as there are plenty of highrise buildings planned for this area. . 5.05 | Here's a snapshot of midtown. So medium-rise offices line the streets here. There's been talks of changing this crowded traffic light into a roundabout. 5.06 | Moving away from downtown we see some lower density homes. A lot of the surrounding neighborhoods are full of wealthy mansions and tree-lined streets. 5.07 | Our last stop in Pennsport brings us to the industrial zone. The days of smog producing factories are far gone with the industry of Pennsport being primarily hi-tech. At the top of the picture you get a glimpse of the interstates. Going horizontally is Interstate 1 and the vertical route is Interstate 2. Time to jump on I-1 and head for Elwyn. 5.08 | Welcome back to Elwyn. A previously small and dingy town is in the process of rebuilding some of the poorer neighborhoods while adding brand new neighborhoods to the northwest. Notice the terminus of Interstate 1 on the left-hand side of the picture. 5.09 | As we move to the west (the newer part of Elwyn) we see some shopping surrounded by high-end neighborhoods. 5.10 | More shopping with a newly widened boulevard to access the surrounding neighborhoods. 5.11 | Here's a zoomed-in look of the strip mall. All the American essentials are here. 5.12 | Now we move to the north of the strip mall to where Elwyn's newest housing development is being constructed. Notice that the boulevard narrows as that part hasn't been widened yet. 5.13 | Our final stop: A new subdivision. These lots are the biggest Elwyn has to offer and are being gobbled up by the wealthiest Sims. Some land acquisitions still have to take place in order for Phase 2 of the development to begin. And I leave you with a shot of a road sign. I'm going to try to model (BAT) my own signs and have started by drawing up this. Let me know what you think! Thanks for reading. Please comment and feel free to suggest what I should post next. The Big City @_marsh_ Glad you enjoy it. Sorry it took so long for an update. Hope you enjoy this one too. @Luiz P. Romanini Good. I'm trying to make something people will come to recognize. @nate1245 Thanks. I'm a civil engineering student so they're kinda my thing. (: @Forthwall Besides being engineer I also dabble in graphic design. Nothing official though. @khalil1987 At the time of that posting I have no clue. Since then I've done some serious redevelopment and the number you see above is probably nothing close to what it used to be. @ganjaman95 Thank you! @tim.12.game They're actually Project Symphony puzzle pieces, part of NAM 31. @Zirbs You are correct! What's New in New Philadelphia @coolwiththecool2 Thanks. @Aaron Graham Good idea. Not many people seem to be using it though so I may need to rethink it. @dabadon5 Thank you. @_Iazz Thanks? Sounds like you're judging my dancing. Haha. @Haljackey Thanks. @zeldafan Thank you. I'm glad it looks that way. Sometimes I worry it doesn't. (: @Toretto007 As an engineer I refuse to use the word "pretty." Haha. Thanks for the comment.

Instead of Photobucket you should use Imgur

I've seen some of your posts before but am now actually getting serious about following you. Good use of a GIF. Can't wait for the next update.

What a great attention to detail. Regarding the photo underneath the line "Main train station," what mod(s) did you use to create that sunken avenue and overpasses?

Those are impressive numbers. The Highway 40 project seems exciting. Hope to see lots of pics on that one!

Did you actually BAT those hotels? Because they look great. Also, good work on the rowhomes.and surrounding neighborhood. Could I have the link to those residential lots?

I like your road network. Looks good!
