I built this hilltop area back in 2022 during a gameplay, and here's what it looked like back then. It's not that interesting, but I like the overall layout of the streets going up the hill. And I love the little area at the top. So, I decided to do a little makeover, and... voila! I replaced some of the decorations, added a basketball court, and a small parking lot. Got some nice buildings developed, and I think they look really nice for the neighborhood. I made a little adjustment to the Jeronij Rural Walls and added some trees and fences, so it'll be safer for pedestrians 😅 Meanwhile, this area here in the middle is a lot more peaceful. Just some residential buildings with their community garden on the top corner, and sometimes kids playing with a ball show up in the alley. Got a McDonald's & a little shop in the corner, providing basic needs for the neighborhood. Also, the house with a clothes drying rack in its backyard gives me a familiar feeling. We have that too in my house, and you can find a lot of those where I live lol At the bottom of the hill, we have some residential buildings and a neighborhood church. A little passenger station and bus stop that can bring you anywhere you want to go. And I really love the street-side parking from the SFBT Street Side Mod, it makes the area feel a lot more lively. --- Here are some shots I took from the showcase video. It's a bit unusual, so I thought I'd share it with you guys. And last, here's the main course of this entry. I made these showcases of the area, showing how lively they are. The video is up to 4K, so bump your settings up! And thank you for reading this entry. I hope you find it interesting. Enjoy the videos and see you on the next entry!

Part 02 - A Tour of Zephyropolis' Central City
Zephyrus22 posted a City Journal entry in Zephyr Bay Metro Area - Zephyropolis, Groveport and Beyond!
Welcome back to the Zephyr Bay Metropolitan Area journal! In the second entry to the series, we will be exploring the central part of Zephyropolis, the region's largest city. The city of Zephyropolis is commonly divided up into four "districts": Central, which is home to the Central Business District and some of the city's most popular destinations, North, a largely affluent concentration of the city's wealthy residents with an extravagant park system, East, a sprawling plain filled with residences of various incomes, and West, an isolated district separated from the rest of Zephyropolis by a river. This entry will focus solely on Central Zephyropolis, also called the Central City. As the region's premier business, shopping and nightlife destination, the city's core is a great place to discover what makes the city so great - and the challenges that the city faces as an emerging metropolis. Modern-day Zephyropolis stands at a dynamic point in its history. As the city and region have grown, so too have the various factors affecting the city. An increase in suburbanization has created a push to develop freeways through the Central area. So far only one Freeway, the Edmonds Expressway, has been built. However, plans are in place to build more freeways throughout the East and North Sides, and city planners want the new freeways to connect near downtown. While community activists have began fighting such efforts, the city's urban fabric faces an uncertain future. At the same time, the Central Business District (CBD) has began to grow noticeably denser over the past decade. It seems that the buildings downtown keep getting taller and taller. With every new addition to the skyline, the city's "world class" aspirations become ever closer to reality. Many cities pride themselves on being "a city of neighborhoods," and Zephyropolis is no exception. The city has many dynamic districts that cater to different types of people. In the Central City, the most central areas that made up the original city limits are divided into four "Wards", numbered consecutively. After the four wards were established and the city grew outward, city planners took a more creative approach to naming the city's numerous districts. The city's focal point is Central Circle, visible here at the left side of the image. Mitchell Monument stands tall in the circle's center as an inspiration to all who visit the city. Mitchell Monument serves as the starting point for not only the city's grid system, but also the city's crown jewels: Central Park and Zephyr Park. The two sprawling parks are an attraction in themselves and host a multitude of events throughout the year. Spanning four city blocks, Central Park can be seen in the above image. Central Park was once the center of an historic, upscale shopping district. Over the years, as the business district grew, the shopping district migrated North (or down, from the perspective of this image) along Tradewinds Avenue, the thoroughfare in the center that goes outward from Mitchell Monument. Today, only one major department store, Charlesworth's, is still located along the park loop. At the point where Central Park and Zephyr Parks meet stands the Zephyropolis City Museum, which serves as a southern frame to Central Park. This museum is a major attraction, drawing crowds from far and wide. Zephyr Park contains a number of amenities, such as a separated bike path and an amphitheater. The reflecting pool is popular with museum patrons. A busy ferry terminal provides frequent service to Shorewood and Groveport. Another view of the museum and amphitheater. On the park's west side, a large promenade serves as a gathering spot for residents and visitors alike. Several festivals and cultural events take place here throughout the year. Near the water stands the Sculpture Garden, with works on display from both local artists and nationally-renowned masters. In the First Ward, Donnelly Beach is a popular place to relax and enjoy the sunny weather. As a beachfront neighborhood adjacent to the CBD, the First Ward is an affluent, desirable place to reside. As such, it has grown into one of the city's most exclusive and expensive areas. The beach, however, is public property and open to all - much to the chagrin of some of the residents. Immediately to the North of the First Ward is the Second Ward. Largely residential, the center of the neighborhood is the location of the city's Entertainment District. Zephyrus Field is where the Zephyropolis Zephyrs play. Zephyrus, Inc., headquartered in the city, insists this alliterative naming convention is merely a coincidence. A budding theater district nearby is in its early stages of growth. Many well-off Zephyropolians reside in the Second Ward as well, attracted to the proximity of both the Entertainment District and Tradewinds Avenue. The Third Ward is home to the city's emerging Financial District. Many of the city's tallest new towers are located here, as is the city's Stock Exchange. Many residents of the First Ward work here. Surprisingly, the Third Ward is still not a very desirable place to live - the city's former industrial and vice district, Third Ward Docks, was located directly to the west and is only now being redeveloped - so the area still has a large amount of low-income housing. Those days are numbered, though, as new luxury housing has already began to pop up on former industrial land. The Third Ward Docks was once one of the city's major manufacturing districts, and also had a reputation for vice as well. For several decades it was a major industrial jobs center by day and a place to go for illicit goods and services by night. In recent years, many of the old industrial buildings have been demolished as part of urban redevelopment initiatives. However, one holdout has stood the test of time: the Third Ward Market, a prominent vendor's & farmer's market, has grown even more popular with the onset of gentrification in the Third Ward. Well-established in the community, the market has even become a popular tourist attraction - a notion that people thirty years ago would have been shocked to consider. There's even a cruise ship port right next door! The Fourth Ward, when compared to the other three downtown wards, is rather sleepy by comparison, being mostly residential. The neighborhood has historically been an eccentric mix of blue-collar and middle-class residents, with downtown office workers living next to factory workers in dense flats. In recent years, the rise of the Financial District has residents concerned about gentrification and displacement at the hands of the people who are getting priced out of the First and Second Wards. Technically a part of the Fourth Ward, Chinatown is a culturally distinct neighborhood at the Fourth Ward's Northwest corner. The community's main street became so popular that the street was converted into a pedestrian-only walkway. Zephyropolis' Chinatown is a vibrant, bustling community. Sadly, in recent years the neighborhood feels more separated from the Fourth Ward than ever before. Why, you ask? The recent construction of the Edmonds Expressway has not only created a physical barrier between Chinatown and the Fourth Ward, but has also divided the neighborhood of Millview completely in half! These two images show what the area looked like before the highway construction compared to today. Fortunately for the Fourth Ward and Chinatown, their portion of the expressway was elevated, making travel by foot or bicycle more accessible. The residents of Millview were not so lucky. The ground-level highway has made travelling across the neighborhood only possible at two points, and nearly impossible without a car. The neighborhood of Millview - along with Harpertown, its sister neighborhood to the North - has historically been a working-class community. Millview was named after its proximity to the factories in the district now known as The Junction. With so many of the neighborhood's residents working at the local factories, Millview was known as a sort of pseudo-company town. Sadly, Millview experienced disinvestment and depopulation as changing social and environmental factors made the community less desirable. The recent division of the neighborhood by the new freeway has further cemented Millview's status as a fractured neighborhood. In recent years, Millview has seen some signs of gentrification. As the new Junction Research Corridor begins to take shape, Millview is expected to become a more desirable community to live in - or, at least the land west of the freeway will be. On the west side of Central City, adjacent to the Fourth Ward and Millview, stands The Junction, a mostly industrial neighborhood that is beginning to see changes. With the rapid changes occurring to the south in neighboring Third Ward Docks, the city wants The Junction to transform into the city's new hub for tech and innovation. The Junction was chosen as the site of the new Junction Research Park facility, which is expected to be a catalyst for further high tech development in the area. Currently, however, it is still home to a number of factories that have so far resisted displacement. In the center of the city, directly north of Mitchell Monument/Central Park and between the Second and Fourth Wards, is the Tradewinds Avenue Shopping District. This multi-block stretch is home to a variety of department stores and attractions. Locals and tourists alike flock here to shop and dine. The Galleria Grand Central Station, a major terminus for the region's commuter rail network, is located here. The Divenere Tower, once the city's tallest building, stands as the tallest building in this part of the city. Finally, the last stop in our tour takes us to the neighborhood of Hortonia. Somewhat similar in layout to Millview, Hortonia became an upper-middle-class community early in the 19th century. As a result, a variety of boutique condo towers were built in the western part of the neighborhood, closest to Tradewinds Avenue. Over the years, Hortonia has managed to avoid the same fate that has plagued Millview. However, with the onset of new highway development proposals, the people of Hortonia are apprehensive about changes that might destroy the community's urban fabric. A grassroots community organization, Protect Hortonia, is dedicated to fighting against highway expansion into the neighborhood. Whether or not they are successful, however, is anyone's guess. --- This concludes our tour of Zephyropolis' Central City. We hope you've enjoyed learning about the various neighborhoods in this part of the city, as well as their histories and the issues that they face. Next time, we will be exploring the North Side of Zephyropolis, where a grand boulevard and parks system has given the district a sense of oneness with nature. I hope to see you in the next tour. In the meantime, feel free to post any questions or comments below, and I will hopefully not take so long to get the next journal entry posted. Thanks for reading!

University Heights Historic District - Lowell's First Suburb
Made in Erie 814 posted a City Journal entry in Lowell - The Heart of SimNation's Rust Belt
UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS City wards map with University Heights highlighted by star; University Heights Street Map HISTORY University Heights was founded as North Lowell in 1877 by Thaddeus Leo Kaufman. As Lowell grew, the desire for single-family homes grew as well, as many of the city's earliest residents lived in tenement buildings along or near the Merrimack River. Kaufman purchased several thousand acres of land on a hillside overlooking Lowell, and began subdividing the land for new residents to build homesteads. Kaufman's reserve was along the east side of Merrimack Street between Central Parkway and Fullerton Avenue, as UNB Lowell had already been granted the land west of Merrimack by the State of New Bearin for the establishment of the university. After a brief battle with Kaufman (who had declared himself as "mayor" of the new town), North Lowell was annexed by Lowell in 1889, and officially became part of the city. The area grew further in the early 20th century as the Lowell to Lawrence streetcar was completed and began service in 1901. The neighborhood boasted a general store, school, police and fire department, church, and several specialty shops. In 1906, North Lowell was officially rechristened as University Heights by then-Lowell mayor John Burke. The streetcar was decommissioned in 1940, and many of Merrimack Street's shops began closing or relocating back into the city center. After the war, the construction of the Lowell Connector made it possible for residents to take advantage of larger homes and lots in suburban communities, and University Heights' longtime homeowners began leaving the area. In 1980, Lowell Board of Education closed the Olsen Street School, which had been open for over 60 years. Olsen School was demolished in 1986, and many homes were either abandoned or sold to absentee landlords. Crime rose in the area, and UNB Lowell police often helped city police patrol the area. In the 1990s, the City of Lowell, Middlesex County, and the State of New Bearin announced an initiative to rehabilitate the neighborhood. Many blighted and abandoned homes were able to be preserved and resold, at affordable prices for first-time homeowners and young professionals. Vacant storefronts on Merrimack were marketed to business owners with tax-free incentives to move into or back into the city from the suburbs and other areas. By 2001, University Heights' comeback was well underway, and in 2009, the Merrimack Parc building was constructed on the former Olsen Street School site, which had been abandoned and vacant for over 20 years since the school's demolition. This build represented the largest residential project completed in Lowell since the Bedford Terrace public housing project was built in 1962. Today, University Heights is a vibrant community to live in. Many of its residents are UNB Lowell students and faculty, as well as young couples and families. The storefronts along Merrimack Street have been repurposed into an entertainment district for the area. University Heights is a mix of the greatest... Former United Merchandise Building; now apartments for UNB Lowell students. ...and the latest in architecture. This is the Merrimack Parc Apartment building, built in 2009. The building primarily houses UNB Lowell students, although apartments are available to the general public. Situated directly across Merrimack Street from UNB Lowell, the Merrimack Street Entertainment District provides weekends of fun for students, residents, and visitors alike. Well, that's all for this one. As always, I'm never sure where in Lowell (or beyond) our next installment will take us, but there's only one way to find out. Thank you for visiting Lowell...The Heart of SimNation's Rust Belt. Come Back Soon!!- 2 Comments

Version 1.0
7,636 Downloads
STEAM Workshop link now available, click download then click on (Main File) option. Have you ever wanted to build a circular town or neighbourhood but just can't get those circles right? Then this is for you! This asset allows you to create a nearly perfectly circular road layout with a few clicks of your mouse. Simply plop the four quadrants in place, place the missing roads, and get building! Asset details: The finished product will be a 200 acre layout consisting of five concentric one-way road circles in alternating directions, connected by eight straight one-way roads, also in alternating directions. The outer road is a six lanes wide and the rest are two lanes. I recommend using four lane avenues to fill in the last four road spaces, as shown in the images. All roads are the basic type, so you can use this asset as soon as you have the cash for it, without having to reach any milestones. It has been designed for maximum zoning possibilities, with only a one tile gap between zones. This gap is filled by Pedestrian pathways that connect all twelve of the radial roads to each-other, acting like sort of alleyways and ensuring your Cims can get to their neighbour's barbecues while enjoying a leisurely stroll away from the noise and the traffic. A step by step tutorial on how to assemble this is included in the download, or you can view the images here directly. To install, unzip file, then move the "TPB CSLUD - RRM1 v1.crp" file into \Users\*YOU*\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Assets Replace *YOU* with whatever your user account name is on your machine. Please note the AppData folder is hidden by default, you'll have to show hidden files in explorer to find it. Visit my Asset Studio for news on upcoming uploads. If you like this product, please take a moment to leave a comment or give me a rating, I really appreciate that little gesture in exchange of my work. Also feel free to share this on any other social media you may use! Thank you and enjoy! The gorgeous map shown on images is Mernwoods, courtesy of Lazy_Leopard, get it here. -

Episode 4: An Ethnic View
woodb3kmaster posted a City Journal entry in Nyhaven, Lower Columbia (AIN)
To start Nyhaven's time as the cultural capital of the Alliance of Independent Nations, I'm dedicating a whole episode to the city's many ethnic neighborhoods. This isn't the first time I've done this - I first did it seven years ago, at the start of the Nyhaven 2.0 era - but it's only fitting to start the festivities with a celebration of the many cultures that have found a home in Nyhaven. I've already shown you two neighborhoods - Chinatown and Okatown - in previous episodes, but today, we're going on a tour of 13 more. We begin our tour at Saint Mark's Square, the epicenter of Nyhaven's Mediterranean immigrant communities. Just north of the square is Greektown, with its Orthodox church and... did you hear that? It sounded like thunder. I hope everyone brought their umbrellas, because it looks like it's about to rain. Sure enough, it's raining as our tour reaches New Cattala. The city's Cattalian population has called this area between the square and the University of Nyhaven home since the first immigrants arrived in the 1870s, after Italy invaded and annexed Cattala. Unemployment was high in Cattala at the time, so the prospects of work in Lower Columbia drew many Cattalians across the ocean. Of course, times weren't good in mainland Italy either, so many Italians also immigrated to Lower Columbia. Those who came to Nyhaven settled down just a few blocks from New Cattala, closer to the Elochoman Slough. Tensions between the neighboring ethnic groups were high for many decades, and gang violence claimed many lives in both districts in the early 20th century. Fortunately, those tensions have subsided in the ensuing years. The storm seems to be passing as we reach the Croisian Quarter, or Rive Croisienne as the locals call it. People have been migrating from Sainte-Croix to Lower Columbia since the country's first settlers arrived in the Northwest in the 1560s, but a new wave of Croisian immigrants established this little community on the embankment in the early 1900s. As we reach Little Soviyya to the north of Hunters Island, the sun is just starting to break through the clouds. One of the three communities of Slavic immigrants near Burgess Square, this neighborhood lies just south of the square and west of the R-3 freeway. On the other side of the square is New Moscow, with its ornate Russian Orthodox church. A few blocks north of Yule Avenue, we come to Hiigara Town. The various crises and conflicts that have engulfed the Hiigaran United Confederacy and its member states over the years sent many Hiigarans in search of safer homes. Those who came to Nyhaven settled here, around Lower Columbia's only Kran'et temple. Crossing onto Hunters Island, we come to Little Tokyo. Like most immigrants from East Asia, the Japanese chose to settle on Hunters Island, specifically, just south of East Center Street. Many of the business executives who work in the neighboring towers come here when they want a little taste of home. Further south, close to midtown, is Nakamatown, where Nyhaven's Nakamese population is centered. As we approach the southern tip of Hunters Island, we reach Koreatown. Located close to Cathlamet and the local campus of Royal University, Koreatown has become popular with both students and boaters. Returning to the mainland across from uptown Nyhaven, we come to Spanish Town. Our tour is almost at its end... Finally, we visit two neighboring ethnic districts. To the west is New Casablanca, which is home to Nyhaven's largest mosque, as well as most of its Moroccan-born residents. To the east, meanwhile, is Little Ascadylea, on the other side of Hazel Avenue.- 11 Comments

Is there a way to make buildings show up the way you want ?
emsnu posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Hi all Like the title says, I've always wanted to make my cities diverse, with both upper-class hoods and poor sector and middle class suburb paradise, but as soon as I provide them with education they all upgrade their houses into middle class, or even giant spawling mansions! Yes I know for the poor neighborhood I could have just made them illiterate, got rid of all education facilities but that's not how I want And then when I try to make an upper-class neighborhood, even after I've plopped schools/health facilities/parks... and boosted desirability to its peek there are still slums and bunk houses show up and ruin the whole area! I know this could be a silly question, and of course I'm not a class-ist or anything , but is there anyway to control or tell the sims where to build their houses properly ? All advices are much appreciated . Thanks! -
Iona has a wide range of neighbourhoods, all with excellent transport links by train, bus, car or underground - right in to the heart of the downtown for work or play. You can choose from a characterful Victorian townhouse close to town, on the cities hillsides or close to the sparkling riverbanks or beaches. Why not opt for a 1930s semi-detached down a quiet street, cul-de-sac or close with luscious gardens for the kids and dog to play in. Highrise more up your street? then go for a lofty apartment in Iona's residential riverside towers, affording views of the city and river and marine area.

Show Us Your Suburbs!! By Khalsa Starr I felt like creating a thread for those who have sprawling suburbs in their regions. Please give us a link or pic of your city's suburban areas and share your idea on how you design them. My burbs... These two pictures are part of a region entirely dedicated to suburban living, notice that all roads lead to the main highway, this is a small city and already the numbers of the highways have exceeded 5000 - think what it would be like on a large city! All the houses are middle class and cookie cuter - just like in real life! It seems as if sims can be coaxed into going the only way possible to work, heh heh. The more quieter suburbs have their own treed back yeards and are away from the downtown grinder. Isn't this the way to live?? I got my ideas from a city i built myself, kind of a crude comparison, however this pic shows the similarities between this and my simcity suburbs. More pics go HERE or HERE -khalsa starr
