I've started a city based off an online tutorial, and it involves boats. I cannot, for the world, find a place that will hold my docks. I've gone through every single tile on every single waterfront. The notification thing says to find a place where the footprint turns blue, but there isn't. No further instructions were given. It's on a bay/lake/river, and I can't get screenshots because reasons. Suggestions?

ACERENZA Acerenza is an agricultural town This city is crossed by a beautiful river Of course there is a small lake where two rivers join. These rivers run through farms The city has a very old style. The train station also has the traditional style The heart of the city has a beautiful church with a large square The city also has somewhat modern commercial buildings This city passes a highway and there are some exits The night comes and the city takes on another aspect The church has another look at night The night is deep and the buildings have different colors with artificial lights COMMENT REPLIES: Sambuca @TheMurderousCricket Thanks for the comment @AP Thanks for the comment. Your mods for the beach are already there. Those beaches are MMP but you can see them in the next updates or if you are in the discord server of SC4D and Simtropolis or on reddit then you can already see the images @Dreamcitybuilder Thanks for the comment

SAMBUCA Sambuca is a city with many farms Obviously this city is located near San Foca and therefore has a more advanced transport network The town is located near the sea and therefore has small beaches There is also a small dam that regulates the flow of water coming out In fact, farms have irrigation systems The city has a beautiful old town with an ancient cathedral obviously the transport network is advanced as there are highways that transport a high volume of cars A highway interchange there are also roads that go to the mountain A mountain road with a beautiful mountain forest But in the evening the city is transformed a city with lots of light the night parks and with the buildings around take on a different color during the day people sleep and only the few lights of passing cars remain At the end there is a small industrial area with lights COMMENT REPLIES: Amendola @mitsos Thanks @20huskies Thanks for the comment @juguesal Thanks @Rage If you want to change the theme the Mediterranean theme is a great alternative @nod Thanks for the comment. In fact I did transcendence with SimCity 4. LOL @TheMurderousCricket I had a lot of time to create the wiki and roleplay nations with my SC4 creations. Now less but I keep creating new things for Simcity4 @Terring Thanks

AMENDOLA Amendola is a city that is divided into three levels. In the first level there are farms There are also solar power plants a beautiful wide road that goes towards the mountains surrounded by large farms The road suddenly becomes a small highway But there are also mountain roads that offer a beautiful panorama or you can take the railway But if you take the highway there is a tunnel that connects the most modern part of Amendola. There is also a train depot and train station Avenues and with beautiful villas but if we take the road the mountain road... ...we see the ancient part of the city of Amendola A small mountain tourist town There are two roads that are parallel to Lake Casamassima. From this side you get to the terminal part of the lake with its complex system of dams While from here you go upwards. Towards the Siculian Alps with mountain towns and tourist centers But returning to the ancient city of Amendola here is the central square with the church and the town hall But if we move to the part of Lake Casamassima there is the procession on boats of the patron saint of Amendola. San Lorenzo Maiorano But the night comes and the city changes coloring The central square of the ancient city of Amendola at night The night creates a special combination of colors Houses are lit up while streets light up streets and buildings Even the train station has its own charm at night The industrial zone is the area that is particular at night with neon lights COMMENT REPLIES: CORATO @TheMurderousCricket Thank you for the compliment. It makes me happy that people enjoy reading my city journal. There is a lot of content about Siculia that is not available on ST but only here. Also Siculia has its own wiki @juguesal Thanks for the comment @TogaMasterJohn Thank you @Rage Thank you. Currently the main mods are the MBEAR set and Iberiada Set to build Mediterranean cities. Then there is the PEG set and other mods that make a list is difficult

CASAMASSIMA The city is crossed by a beautiful highway with a junction you can go to the city of Casamassima The city is crossed by the railway that divides the city with farms The city obviously has a railway station the city is very picturesque with its vibrant buildings But the city is located at the foot of a mountain range and there is a road that climbs the mountain with elbow roads and a tunnel After a tunnel you find a nice show a system of two dams if you follow the road we get up in altitude with curved roads and tunnels and then to get to the dam that is at the top of this system with a vantage point both at the bottom and top of the dam Of course the road leads to Casamassima Antica a small town on the mountain Here is Lake Casamassima born from the construction of the two dams If you follow the power line you reach an electrical substation that carries a part of the electricity that powers the capital of Siculia: San Foca Near the electrical substation a small industrial area was born next to the farms of course there is a highway junction that connects the farms and the small industrial area with the highway and the city Obviously a nice highway and railway bridge was built to cross the river While from Casamassima Antica starts a road that goes to a nearby mountain village Obviously when night falls the city transforms. Especially Casamassima Antica with its small lights illuminate a side of the mountain Even the lights of the dam illuminate the night and the mountain the only light that crosses the river are the lights of the highway bridge and the railway bridge The deep night is very nice when there are lights that illuminate the buildings differently To conclude the train station overnight COMMENT REPLIES: GRASSANO @911Diva Thanks @Kloudkicker Thank you for the compliment @mitsos Thank you for the compliment @tomz16 Thanks @Hammurabi Thank you for the compliment @monkeywater Thanks. I use the MBEAR set to recreate Mediterranean cities

How do I create a lake? I noticed that after you start a new city, it no longer seems possible. I tried creating a small valley but it doesn't fill up with water. I remember in SimCity 3000 it was still possible to create a lake after starting a new city.

Entry 45 -- Introducing Thirlmere
The British Sausage posted a City Journal entry in My SC4 CJ Scrapbook
Replies: Simmer2: Thanks! Your work has helped bring some of that about! 89James89: The grey concrete words really emphasise the grid; thanks for your comment! hammysonata: Cheers! Takingyouthere: Thanks! It's why it takes so long for them to be completed! {---} Entry 45: Introducing Thirlmere So it's been a while since I posted an entry, almost two months ago! I came back to SC4 because I wanted to briefly experiment with the ARDEN tree controllers and terraforming. An idea soon came to mind where I would loosely recreate the area of Thirlmere in the Lake District, England. I will be coming back to Thirlmere in the coming weeks and months, but in the immediate future I will be posting the last of the entries from Pololomia, what remains to be shown of Madison Plains and of course updates from Cindersville (which is my current big project to complete). Anyway, enjoy some rural goodiness! {---} 1. We have Thirlmere Lake and to the bottom right a loose recreation of Helvellyn; England's third highest mountain! 2. The break in the mountains will be used as a mountain pass. 3. Creating gullies and ridges is kind of hard in SC4! 4. To create crag-like and mound-like mountains (which are often seen in the Lake District), I used the mesa tool after I dragged out hills and mountains. A bit of erosion and softening helped too... 5. Only the erosion tool can provide so many mini gullies. 6. I changed the tree controller to ARDEN Coast extended, the reason being was to increase the diversity of the trees and to enable the creation of meadows in mid-level areas. 7. The meadows above are the coolest feature of the ARDEN extended tree controllers: it saves so much MMP work and they appear in a very natural way. 8. I can't wait to drag some a road through to create a mountain pass! 9. An overview of most of the city tile. In the top left is the very large Helvellyn mountain. 10. There will be village next to Thirlmere Lake, this will be the largest settlement on the city tile; the rest will be smaller villages or hamlets. 11. The main part of Thirlmere is the lake itself. I plan to have several rivers/streams run into the lake. 12. I used the water terrain brush from the JENX Poseidon mod to plop water textures onto the flat ground. 13. To expand out the lake's shoreline, I used a mixture of gravel and stepping stone MMPs. 14. Yet another overview... 15. Trees encroach upon the bottom and top of this crag! {---} This Saturday I will be posting another entry. This one will be an update concerning Cindersville.- 4 Comments

The Memorial City Park is available in three versions and each can be downloaded separately from the STEX, they can be found in the reward menu as it comes with 16 jobs and earns your city $800 a month income from the shop profits, the front entrance of the park and also the entrance to the carpark in version 2 (LH & RH) have been network enabled to give the visual effect of cars stopping or using the car park. The Azaleas, Roses, Shop and Wildflowers are all from prop families so if you have more than one of these parks in your city there will be subtle differences between the parks, especially after you have planted trees, etc using God or Mayor mode. You may get Blimps or Balloons over your city, you will definitely get fireworks once a year and of course the year would not be complete without a visit from Santa Claus. Last but not least this park will have a positive effect on your Air, Mayor Rating and Water in the area surrounding the park.

A Peaceful Tour of Lake Promethius
Kieren Barnett posted a City Journal entry in Welcome to The Flatlands
A Brief Introduction The Flatlands is a largely vanilla region, handcrafted by maxis landscaping tools. The only addon being used is the NAM, and mostly because I like the roundabouts and traffic choosing routes capable to handle higher volume traffic. Everything else is vanilla. Prologue Thousands of years ago, the founders of The Flatlands discovered a largely flat region, henceforth named The Flatlands. They began pulling mountainsides from the ground; digging lakes with their bare hands. Or so legend goes... Mount Pompus was not a very fertile region, despite the plentiful fresh water from the falls into Lake Promethius. Heading east, the early explorers discovered the lands to the south east of Lake Promethius were incredibly fertile. It wasn't long before civilization settled in the region. Farmlands grew small towns, which enticed large commercial cities downstream. But let's come back to where it all began. Aerial view of The Flatlands Lake Promethius The prospering farming community began with just a few farms and a couple of outhouses. Today, 3,000 people call Lake Promethius home. The community is mostly comprised of 800 farmers, who can mostly be found plowing the fields, or selling their pick of the bunch at the Sunday farmers market. The town is accessible by train and road, with a nearby ferry stop also serving the community to tourists, travelers, and workers. An airstrip out of town also serves the region. Popular tourist destinations in town include the main shopping strip headed by the popular farmers market. The West Ring Road is an alternate route allowing local farmers speedy access to the fields. Lined by gourmet cafes and boutique stores, it is also a popular destination for tourists. One can also relax and read a book at the local library, or dip their toes at the Promethius beach. More adventurous tourists can go for a skydive at the nearby airstrip, or take a road trip to Mount Pompus along the scenic Northern Highway, which runs along the border between the lake and the national park to the north. Of course, Lake Promethius is a farming community at heart. The fields stretch for miles, offering as a food basket for the region. The freshest produce can be found at the local farmers market, however most is taken by road or rail to the supermarkets and malls in the east. The quality of the harvest is amongst the best in the region, proving that quantity can be quality too. I hope you enjoyed this tour of Lake Promethius. I'm hoping to keep this city journal updated as much as my life will allow me, which will hopefully be weekly, but no promises. In the next updates, I will cover Athena Straight and Aeroes Metropolitan, and furthermore into the undiscovered regions of The Flatlands. Thank you for reading.-

I wanted to post a bit of an overview of my city (very much under construction of course), to give a taste of where I hope this journal can go. Below I have included a "starter set" of overview images, complete with a Cimtographer OSM map. As I mentioned, much of the city is incomplete. There are massive sections that do not yet exist in any way (such as an international airport, country club, solar array, and lots and lots more suburbs, complete with functioning puiblic transit), and those sections that do are in various stages of completion, with most of it needing more refinements and detailing. That being said, here's a few overview shots of the city as a whole. Enjoy! Overview of the Business district, Capitol hill, and shore-line apartments. University is to the right, Highway 10 to the left, and the central park + new developments at the top. The central park and newer city center, from above. Older apartments around the original park on the left mix with with newer construction to the right. The main road bisects the two (disregard the Opera House just off camera to the right, as it is simply a placeholder for a proper asset). The sunken highway runs across the top of the image. The central park of the city, looking north. An older cathedral sits just off of the park, amongst the much newer apartment buildings. The office district, south of central park. The rear of Capitol Hill sits on the left of the image. The newly-minted university, situated in a small space between the main highway (Highway 10) over the mountain pass and the shore of the lake. An old lighthouse sits on a rocky outcropping to the right (yes, it's a lake, so no, there are no large ships. Just roll with it). The Central Transit Station, located just behind the university (you can see it in the background of the photo above). With the launch of the Metro Overhaul Mod, I've been in the process of rebuilding my transit system from scratch. This older station sill services the old tracking, but will soon be updated to house the newer metro system. Because having two systems necessitates multiple points of transit between inter-city rail and the local metro, this station will become one of two transit hubs, the other located on the west end of the city. Also, don't mind the wobbly highway to the left. That's getting rebuilt too (I built that before I had the newer version of Road Anarchy as well as Move It! installed). Business Ave, running east from Capitol Hill (this shot looks west towards the Capitol). An athletic field from the university is just visible in the lower right of the shot. Rt. 101 (the offshoot from Highway 10 that cuts around the north shore of the lake. Will eventually be the main route to the airport, once I build that). The sunken highway was done to try and keep views open across the route, but the larger apartments still block much of the shoreline from the western suburb here. The center of the shot features the newly minted Inter-Transit Station West (or IT West by the locals), serving as a transit point between the inter-city rail and the local metro system. Due to the release of the Metro Overhaul Mod, massive infrastructure changes are needed to introduce the system completely, although doing so will also allow for the city to introduce it's first subway system, something that has been sorely needed to alleviate traffic in the center of town. This station here represents the first step in this process. The beginning of northern suburbs. Because of the transit system running to the left of Rt. 101, a more "experimental" entrance/exit system was required (thanks to the Move It! mod for making this possible). The International Airport is planned to sit in the space at the top of the image, along the edge of the lake. With MOM now being a thing, I can finally have over-road metro systems, and I am loving it. Looks gritty and haphazard, and I love it. Overview of the brunt of the city, with spaghetti junction in the lower left. The newer suburbs to the south. Some future planning is visible off to the left. The city from atop Shelnutt Park, a federally owned and protected park just outside of the city. A nice get-away for the city's residents. A (slightly outdated) Cimtographer OSM export, showing most of the city. For some reason the lake itself did not export, but it should be clear where it is (the large gap at the top). Cheers, Augwich

3rd Place entry from Nature Scenes (S3-19-E) Extended 34 Rep 11 Bonus Points 39 TOTAL Points Challenge Results Data | Leaderboard Rankings [Larger Resolution] 7.8 MB Located in the heart of the Kenyan Great Rift Valley, Lake Bogoria is home to one of the world's largest populations of lesser flamingos - every year millions of them migrate to it's algae infested waters. The lake boasts some of the most impressive wildlife in all of Africa - hundreds of species of birds call the lake home, and you might even see a couple zebras if you look hard enough. Geysers and hot springs dot the shoreline, creating a truly unforgettable landscape. Some notes on Lake Bogoria. Flamingos were not photoshopped in, they came from this mod on SC4 Devotion here. The geysers were also an in-game mod, they can be found here. And finally, the water mod used can be found here.© 2016 korver

Looking southwest across the Blue Gill Lake. Nearing the final stretch. After over two weeks of creating Blue Gill Lake, the finish line is near. Nearly all of the terraforming of the mountains, streams, rivers, and lake beds is complete, and the task of adding vegetation has begun. Still probably another few days are left before the map is completed. Items still left to complete are as follows: Adding all trees and other vegetation. Completing the remaining terraforming on the southern end of the map. Adding Highways, county roads, and rail connections. Fine tuning the lake beaches. Completing the marshlands where Blue Gill Lake drains back into the Blue Gill River. An overview map of the region with all points of interest labeled. Creating the story line for the region with a history of the lake. Customizing the current map theme. Looking towards the Northeast. Blue Mountain Lake near the southeast corner of the map. Shores of Blue Mountain Lake.
