~ Welcome to my thread of BAT designs for SimCity 4 ~ I have decided to start creating designs for SimCity 4 again. Sometimes the pace will be faster than others, but my plan is to do it as consistently as possible. I have a little girl who is just 3 years old, so imagine how much time she needs My plan is to recreate buildings from different places around the world and not focus on any particular style. I simply want to include all the things I would like to see in the game, even buildings that I may never use in my Japanese region. The list of possible buildings will range from Spain to the Netherlands (I have both nationalities and my roots are important in this regard ). even buildings in Japan, the United States, Germany, etc... as you can see, there is no limit, the only important detail is that they will be buildings that I like and that I am capable of making. My main goal is to give back to the community Everything I can, since I have been enjoying this game every day for over 20 years. ######################################################################## List of completed and available models: #1 - Chicago Hilton Hotel #2 - Assen ABN AMRO Bank #3 - New York One Penn Plaza #4 - A Coruña Maritime traffic control tower #5 - Osaka - Tsutenkaku tower #6 - Madrid - Torre Moeve (Work in Progress) ######################################################################## Greetings

Update: Aoki Area - Saitama Prefecture Today I am happy to share with you an update about the beautiful town of Aoki. With a population of around 60,000 people, Aoki is a small, old residential area that is part of the Saitama metropolitan area. Aoki is located very close to Cape Futtsu, a place we visited in previous updates. It is a quiet, mostly residential area populated mainly by elderly people. As always, the most common way to reach these towns is either by train or by road. In the case of Aoki, we have a line that ends here, as well as a regional road that crosses the area. The train line crosses the town of Aoki from north to south, dividing it into two areas. The space between the mountains and the sea is limited. But the inhabitants live normally despite the constant sound of the train. Aoki is a quiet place, a residential area away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Due to its location, several train lines end in this area. One of them can be seen in the following images. It is an old train workshop that is still in operation today. These train workshops can be seen throughout the country. Given the large number of trains and rail tracks built across the country, it is absolutely necessary and vital to have these workshops where trains can be properly maintained. Another train line ends in the southern part of Aoki. This area was built to “park” trains whenever necessary. In addition, right at the end of the line, we can find a small freight station that provides this area with any necessary resource. Aoki is mainly a fairly old residential area. It is a typical area built after the war when the prefecture experienced its greatest growth but lacked habitable areas near the city center. Here you can see the typical residential blocks that were quick and easy to build. Aoki is divided into two different areas. One area is located within Saitama Bay, and the other is located just behind the mountain that divides the city. In this image, we can see the least populated area of Aoki, where the density of houses is lower. This is because this part of Aoki is directly “exposed” to the sea and is therefore not as densely populated. To protect residents from potential natural disasters originating from the sea. Barriers have been erected and vegetation planted to prevent sea level rise from affecting the population. This is one of the least modern areas in the prefecture. In addition, its inhabitants are mostly elderly and retired. People who have lived most of their lives away from the central areas of the prefecture. Aoki is a fantastic place to live peacefully, far from the noise and fast pace of everyday life in urban centers. Futtsu Cape and all its war-related monuments, as well as Yasaka Island Shrine, are located nearby. Therefore, Aoki is a good area to stay for a couple of nights to visit the area and its monuments. Once again, thank you for your visit, comments, and reactions. I hope you like Aoki and enjoy your stay ############################################################################## Greetings / Saludos / Groeten

Update: Yasaka Island Shrine - Saitama Prefecture Welcome, everyone. My name is Akiko, and I will be your guide today. I hope you enjoy this short tour of the beautiful Yasaka island Shrine. Today we find ourselves in the beautiful and peaceful village of Jokoji. Located in the southeastern part of Saitama Prefecture, very close to Cape Futtsu. We are now at the meeting point, next to the tourist information booth in the complex's parking lot. Our tour will begin as soon as we pass through the small red Torii gate. Here is a general view where you can see the starting point (the Torii gate), the bridge, and the island where the Yasaka Shrine or Castle is located. As you can see, the shrine is located on a small island in the middle of a small natural lake next to the Seto Inland Sea. It is not known exactly when it was built, but we can say, based on its style, that it was between the 15th and 17th centuries, coinciding with the feudal period and the era of the samurai. It is possible to walk around the entire lake. There are trails available for visitors, and on calm days, you can see the Yasaka Shrine perfectly. It is important to mention that the trails may be closed if the sea and waves are dangerous for visitors. Please remember that we are in a natural area protected by the authorities. Several species of fish and birds, among others, live here, and we must all take care of this wonderful place. The footbridge we are crossing is not the original one. This bridge was built in recent years to prepare the area for visitors. There was an old stone bridge. Only a few remains of this stone bridge were left. It is believed that when the castle was built, small boats were used to cross from one bank to the other. Was it always a Shrine? The answer is no. Its construction is of the castle/fortress type, and that was its main function during the period in which it was built. Later, the place was designated a sacred site, and the castle was converted into a sanctuary. At that time, the already mentioned torii gate was also erected. At night, it is a magical place, where the reflections of the lights on the lake create a special scene for everyone. The lights are usually either red or white. However, on certain special dates, the decorations may change. To finish, We leave you all with a beautiful postcard of the place. Where you can see the lake, the island with the Shrine, and the small and picturesque Jokoji Village. ############################################################################## Greetings / Saludos / Groeten

Futtsu Cape & Motosu battery 4
Ke|is posted a City Journal entry in Saitama Prefecture - The Port of Japan
- Update: Futtsu Cape & Motosu battery 4 - Saitama Prefecture Introduction: Welcome everyone to the first update for version 2.0 of Saitama Prefecture. I can't believe it, but I'm very happy to be able to publish a new update in the year 2025. It's incredible how much this game continues to offer. Thank you all for taking the time to read this update and I really hope you like it. In today's update, we will focus on visiting Cape Futtsu with its World War II monument and its surroundings, where we can find one of the batteries that protect Sakai Bay. Futtsu Cape could be described as the gateway to Sakai Bay. It is a sandy spit created by nature over several centuries. Over the years, it has witnessed the history of Saitama Prefecture, from its discovery and founding to becoming the gateway to one of Japan's largest ports. At the end of the cape, there is now a small monument to those who died during World War II. Due to its port and its location close to other Japanese cities, the metropolitan area of Sakai was bombed on several occasions. This small monument symbolizes and commemorates the victims of those sad and difficult years. In this area, we can also find another building of interest, the Motosu 4, It is a fort or battery that forms part of a line of forts located on both sides of Sakai Bay. There are six forts in total. All of them are in good condition today and can be visited by tourists or anyone interested in learning a little more about the modern history of the city. Generally, they are all composed of military guns to protect the entrance and waters of Sakai Bay. It is important to note that one of the country's naval bases is located in the port of Sakai. Beyond its historical and military interest, it is a wonderful place to enjoy views of the southern part of the bay. This area is sparsely populated because we are in a region where the forces of nature can strike with great force. Here are a few houses taking advantage of the last few meters offered by the natural barrier of Sakai Bay itself. On the other side is the Seto Sea, an area where hardly anyone lives due to various natural hazards. A weather station has been built in this area, which is the southernmost part of the region. There are several stations throughout the prefecture. These stations are very important for the region's interests, as the Port of Saitama and its airport, both located in the bay itself, are indispensable engines for the functioning and success of the Prefecture. To conclude, here is a current view of the area, where rain and generally cloudy skies are reported. ############################################################################## Greetings / Saludos / Groeten- 11 Comments

Hiroshima Prefecture [広島県] | Discussion thread and projects
Ke|is posted a topic in SC4 City Journals
~ Welcome everyone to Hiroshima Prefecture. Here you will discover japan like never before ~ Hiroshima Prefecture (広島県 Hiroshima-ken) is a prefecture of Japan located in the Chūgoku region of Honshu. Hiroshima has a population of around 2,377,631 and has a geographic area of 6,112 km2 (2,359 sq mi). Hiroshima Prefecture borders Okayama Prefecture and Yamaguchi Prefecture. Hiroshima is the capital and the largest city of Hiroshima Prefecture, with other major cities including Kure, Hatsukaichi, Higashihiroshima, etc... Hiroshima Prefecture is located at the western tip of Honshu with coastlines on Seto Inland Sea. It is important to state and confirm that this project is not a recreation of the real Hiroshima region. I am simply taking the map and the names of the real region, as well as using the real city as a blueprint and as inspiration for my own creation. But this is not a recreation. In the images above you can see two maps, the first is the real area from which I have taken my inspiration, the second is the final map I am using in the game. As you can see, I have made some modifications in the terrain, I have added some islands, some more coastal areas, I have modified some angles, etc...But in general terms we can say that the map remains quite faithful to reality, although it is very possible that it will be modified little by little using the tools of the game to adjust it as much as possible to my plans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Information of interest: - A metropolis surrounded by nature: The city and prefectural capital is a vibrant metropolis with more than a million inhabitants where nature, modernity and antiquity live side by side. The region has a young and modern culture that respects and strongly remembers its past. Religion is important and there are many temples scattered throughout the area which we will gradually visit and get to know. The city has a modern transport system, skyscrapers, ports and international airports, and is a metropolis surrounded by sea and mountains. - Economy: The city has an economy based largely on the sea, its industrial ports and the movement of goods around the world make this region an economically positive place. Tourism, business, and Japanese culture are an added bonus that make this region a place with a more than assured future. In recent years, the regional government has made great efforts to bring the region up to the standards of Japan's major cities and regions. - Urban planning and architecture: Large residential areas cover most of the prefecture's land. In fact, the whole region is connected by different villages and towns in which residential houses predominate. The region is heavily populated by old Japanese style houses, made of wood and mostly coloured in different colours. This is one of the characteristics and signs of this region. If you go to the centre of the prefectural capital, you will find modern skyscrapers and department stores. The region does not have any super skyscrapers at the moment, although there are plans to build some in the future. - A Religious Culture: Shinto is a religion originating in Japan, sometimes considered the indigenous religion of Japan. Along with Buddhism, it is one of the country's two main religions. The region is full of temples and shrines dedicated to these religions. Little by little we will visit and get to know all of them to discover this interesting culture which has motivated the construction of marvellous places all around the Prefecture. - Tourism: Prefecture's tourism focuses mainly on the region's temples and shrines. The Prefecture is visited to enjoy these unique places, such as Hiroshima Castle or Itsukushima Shrine located on an island in the prefecture's bay. In general, most tourists visit the region for a couple of days, usually including the Prefecture as a stopover on their travels around Japan. Currently, tourism in the region is not comparable to that of cities such as Tokyo or Osaka, but the local government is making great efforts to change this and put Hiroshima in a higher place. - Transport: The favourite word of Hiroshima's inhabitants is TRAIN ! The train is the biggest and most efficient transport in the region. You can practically go anywhere using the train. We will gradually get to know all the trains and models running around the Prefecture. The list is very long ! In addition, the city has two airports, a large number of ports, ferries, an excellent Highway system, two bullet train or shinkansen stations, last but not least, the region is also connected by an excellent bus system. - Ports and maritime economy: The region's economy is based on the transport of goods by sea, and its ports are the fuel of this economy. The entire coastline of the Prefecture is full of industrial ports. There are large areas of land reclaimed from the sea dedicated to port areas and there are already plans and future projects to build new ports in the region. Among the ports we can find container areas, gas and fuel ports, ports dedicated to the export of vehicles, as well as a large number of small ports dedicated to food and fishing. - Airports and international connections: The region has two airports, one for local use and one international airport built on an area reclaimed from the sea. Ana airlines and Japan airlines are the main airlines of the prefecture and the country. ANA airlines has one of its headquarters in the region as well. The International Airport is fully equipped to handle flights from all over the world. The city also has a small airport used to handle local flights, which is located in a densely populated area on Hiroshima Bay. Little by little we will learn much more about these airports and their management. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Additional information: The reason for this thread is the following. I would really like to build this region with all of you. It means, I would like to discuss with you about certain points, projects, share with you ideas about future projects, ask for your opinions and ideas, etc... I will try to share with you all kind of different things, such as the construction of the new airport, the main train station, transport planes, new port areas and hundreds of other things... I hope you like this project and you enjoy playing this game as much as I do. Thank you so much for your time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ City journal section list of updates: Currently no updates available* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • Visit Hiroshima Prefecture and lose yourself in my own vision of Japan. I hope you enjoy your stay. ""arigatou gozaimasu"- 18 Replies

Progress / Handa port & Atayami
Ke|is posted a City Journal entry in Saitama Prefecture - The Port of Japan
• Update #3 || Progress / Handa port & Atayami • ############################################################################## • Hello guys, I hope everything is going perfect for all of you. Today I want to share with you some pictures to show you my progress in the region. I'm working in the surroundings areas of the Saitama international airport and the Handa Port. Most of the time I'm working creating new low residential areas and farms but also I've started to work in the Handa port and its power plant. As you can expect, these progress are taking me a lot of time but I'm happy with the result so far • • This area is very populated and highways, national roads and rail ines are everywhere • • Itayama and villages are surrounded by rice fields. Rice is one of the largest industries in the region • • The center of Itayami, where you can find the market, city hall and several kind of shops... • • Moriyama is less populated than Itayami, most of its surface are rice fields. Those villages are fantastic places to live far away of the noise and chaos of the city but perfectly connected by train, roads and highways with the rest of the Saitama Prefecture • • Green cranes in the entrance of Handa port. This is the oldest Saitama's container terminal, not able to work with large and modern ships • ##################### ~ R - E - P - L - I - E - S ~ ############################################################################## lucasfg3 Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it. sucram17 Do you want to see more ?

Saitama Prefecture V2 - Information + Region Map

~ Welcome everyone to Saitama Prefecture. Here you will discover japan like never before ~ Saitama Prefecture is a prefecture of Japan located in the region of Honshu. Saitama has a population of around 5,377,631 and has a geographic area of 8,112 km2 (2,359 sq mi). Saitama Prefecture borders Okayama Prefecture and Osaka Prefecture.
