Hordes Of Nebula

Some stuff I've been working on. The city has some harsh terrain centered around a high mountain with a gorge cutting through it and a flatter area on the outskirts so I've build the commercial stuff on a grid and all the residential is either in a suburban anti-grid type zone or winding up the mountainside which has taken a lot of work and I'm still working on cleaning up some.

I've really stepped up my MMP game since I last posted and I and beefed up my plugins folder a bit. This is a medium sized map and every single thing on here is an MMP down to each individual tree and it took me about 12-13 hours of play time to do but I'm pretty happy with the results. Next step is to build a rural mountain town! The lake is not an MMP and made with terrain tools but the surrounding marsh and woodlands are all MMPs.

I'm still working on building up a plugin folder so I don't have much in the way of MMPs and I've only returned to this game about a month ago after about a decade of not playing it. I'm liking how this area developed around the sandy beach so I'll post it. I've got another area with bike paths and redwoods that looks pretty good but I'm having difficulties getting an adequate screenshot as the redwoods are getting too big to see the path haha. This is on the medium lower density residential side of the city, the other side of the river is all very high density and my pop is around 450,000 and growing.

I've got the work done on the other side of my bridge and I am almost satisfied with it minus one area that I'm still trying to figure out what to do with (upper left side after the bridge in the third pic). The first pic shows a zoomed in view of what is going on with the interchange and the second and third are just to put the entire system into context. Pic number two is a zoomed out view of side A which I've previously posted and pic number 3 shows more of side B. If anybody is curious my population is around 380,000. I've put so much time into this side that my more established side is lacking in jobs as you can see from the briefcases so I think now I can focus more on running a city haha.

I'm starting to get the hang of working with this stuff. This is the most elaborate interchange I've done yet. I'm still working on the other side of the bridge but I have the basic interchange done but I will possibly add more and I still need to make it more aesthetically pleasing. I'll upload that when I am satisfied with it. On the second pic I have filled in the sand on both sides since taking the screenshot.

Patricius Maximus, I've got some stuff in the works on a fresh map with a few more mods installed. I'm currently trying to figure how to get the High Speed Rail to go over the RHW and not having much luck. Other than that I'm getting the hang of things and making more stuff like underpasses and cleaner transitions. I have a civil engineering degree and I work as a CAD technician so this kind of stuff is natural to me, it is just a matter of learning how to work with the game to match up with my vision of what I am going for. The first pic is an interchange with two highways and a rail overpass. Since I am so close to the edge in order to get the sloping to work I had to take the highway down 7.5m and the rail up 7.5m. I'm still filling in the trees but I want evergreens to line the highway. The second is a highway overpass on a 5 lane rd w/ turning lane and a fractional angle rail transition. I've yet to work with fractional angles on rail so this is my first attempt.

This is my first post on the forums here. I've recently gotten back into SimCity 4 after not playing in almost a decade after stumbling across Haljackey's youtube channel. After seeing all the mods and stuff that have been created since I last played I couldn't help but get back into it. I've been binge watching his building a city from scratch series and slowly adapting things. This is sort of a test city, I started it a few days ago and I'm up to around 230,000 people so maybe I'm moving too fast and not planning enough. This isn't much compared to some of the other interchanges I've seen on here but I'm getting the hang of working with the RHW mods paired with the slope mods and a few others. I didn't plan the rail location well but I worked around it anyways. This is the first interchange I am somewhat proud of that actually looks symmetrical haha.
