Description: The Olympics bring an entirely new flair to a city's stadium villages and the people who have fun there. In no time, regular passers-by are talking about sports you've never heard of, followed by the comment, "that's an Olympic event?!?" Yet others, inspired by the exciting contests by athletes breaking records set before Julius Caesar roamed the Med, will spend a few weeks at the pool or gym before discovering it's not that easy and they'd rather do something else.... like hit up a bar or pub. Luckily for those at any stage in this cycle, Stadium Village Pack 03 has you covered! The pack is made up of four BATs, each with both a growable and ploppable version. - Medley Aquatics: a swimming/diving/water polo supply store for those who compete in events such as swimming, diving, or water polo. - Olympic Supply: everything an Olympian needs to perform (well, almost everything) and everything the fans need to cheer them on. - Golden Zamboni Restaurant: OK, digging into winter here, but hockey is cool enough to include at any time of the year. - Hoops & Hops Craft Brewery: The place for a good craft brew and some basketball. Legend has it that the Dream Team once visited this place and then promptly left when they discovered they were in the wrong place. Stats: Plop Cost (bulldoze): 4400 (100) Lot Size: 1x2 Jobs: 21-36 (varies) Growth Stage: 2 Wealth: Medium Power: 3 Water: 21 Pollution: 2/2/15/0 @ 1/1/0/0 Dependencies: The number of times I have qualified for the Olympics. -
ISIS releases 17 point step-by-step guide on how ‘lone wolf’ fanatics should attack at the Rio Olympics
JP Schriefer posted a topic in Current Events
Posted on social network Telegram, the terror handbook gives advice on airport bombings, random stabbings and kidnapping hostages. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1480658/isis-releases-17-point-step-by-step-guide-on-how-lone-wolf-fanatics-should-attack-at-the-rio-olympics/ Fresh news, the Federal Police of Brazil just arrested 10 members with connection with the ISIS (it happened some minutes ago, so there are only portuguese news for now): http://g1.globo.com/politica/noticia/2016/07/ministro-da-justica-anuncia-acoes-antiterror-15-dias-da-olimpiada.html Some extra informations: it occurred after ISIS open a portuguese version of their group in Telegram, the most used app by them. A few days ago a brazilian group calling itself Ansar al-Khilafah Brazil declared loyalty to ISIS. In addition to great ISIS enemies being in the Olympics, Brazil has about 90% of its population being Christian, which means that the terrorist group has nothing to lose here. Our borders are too large and it's easy to foreign terrorists entering the country. As a Brazilian I'm really worried about that because we're a country without much experience with these kind of things that never happened here, like terrorism or any other international real threat. Let's just hope for the best. -

A brand-new picture from the city of Wolfskreut. This time, the Olympics are in town. When the games are on, the roads are closed, so pedestrians can wander freely. Notice the concert and games in the stadium. It's all happening. Hope you enjoy. -

This tile (or 'Zone' as I call it) is named Veritas and it is the governmental and cultural heart of Ionica. I kind of wanted something that was a fusion of Washington DC, Beijing, Shenzhen, Paris, and London. I don't really want to show any older pics of it because it was kind of embarrassingly bad and that's why I decided to restart. Again I regret not using RHW but I think it's a bit too far along to switch. Veritas is also the location of my Simlympic area. I hope to finish it in time for the summer Olympics. The clock is ticking. What you see below is what I consider to be the top of this tile. It is supposed to be the 'old city' area made up of a strange combination of European and Chicago/NY style buildings. Since I took this picture a few weeks ago the area around it has developed quite a bit. I'm bringing the road in and I've reworked the rails to become an elevated system. I've also placed Xyloxadoria's Cathedral of Learning in front of the park but I need to LE it a bit to make it fit better. This is the central area which is the main governmental district. It's kind of Versailles meets Washington DC...in the future. Not everything you see is final. I've had my eye on that Altar of the Triforce for a while, it isn't quite the way I want it to be yet. I wonder if I can reduce the lot size just a bit, that would help me shape the parks around it better. Here is a reverse angle where you see the Pritzker Pavilion a the rear of the UN building. To the left of the Pavilion is the Center for the Performing Arts and behind it is my version (currently missing trees) of the Louvre Pyramid. Hoping this area's not too grid-y. I might have to change up a couple of things. I'm still testing how buildings around there will look. On the right is Xylo's London Shard, which is home to Ionica's largest architectural firm, and next to it the Children's Palace by dmscopio, which contains contains theaters, a museum, galleries, food courts, and interactive playgrounds. Bellow all of that is Windsail Tower, a place of residence for foreign dignitaries and very important guests. Around it is probably the most epic marina I've ever attempted. I still need to add mmps in the water to make it look more realistic. I probably need to add a bit more depth in some areas too. Here is a mosaic of the Simlypic area. At the top is 'Stargate Park' composed of a variety of elements. If I had to list all them all of I'd be here all day. The area with the empty grey square is going to be the central hub of the games. It is actually the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) from simcity.cn. It is flanked by a sunken and raised stadium, both by dmscopio. This concept is kind of where I got the idea for how to create the Hanging Gardens. Dead center is the Bird's Nest stadium, maybe a bit old and out of style since people are working on the Brazil 2016 stadium now, but it really is quite a beautiful BAT. I still need to do some more LE work to make it conform with the grey paths around it. The four Cobb Altura Towers are supposed to be residences for athletes as well as guests to the games. Need to LE myself a version with the same red brick as the surrounding area. Finally at the end of the canal is the Opera House. Still needs to have a lot of mmps and boats put around it to give it a sense of life and activity. I still need to add lot of parking but I'm not sure how to do it. I'm not a big fan of surface parking, but I might experiment with it a little. We'll see. Here's a closer view of a re-lot of the Jefferson Memorial, a Maxis landmark, And on the other side is my custom lot of scba's Risemdale Baseball Diamond. Here is a closer view of the Cristo Redentor in the canal. I still need to add a few modifications. I think I'm going to add some sunken/underground steps as well as some lights and perhaps some small trees. This is the high capacity ferry port. I need to add some ferries as well as work on the roads around it a bit more. This is the Ionican Islamic cultural center as well as a mosque. Finally we come to the full view of the tile. I'd say it's around 40% complete. I'm slowly working my way inward right now, connecting roads from other tiles as well as still looking for spots to fit those really big landmarks. Comments, suggestions, and questions are always appreciated. Thanks for visiting. DavidDHetzel: Oh man I can't wait for this to develop! Also what parks did you use for the Warm Memorial Park and what is that building you used just above the Indoor arena? Those are the BSC USMSC War Memorial & Mahanakhon Condo, ATEX Tubes. Thanks. Ln X: Your rebuild of Avalon is looking promising. My only suggestion would be to have large areas of mid-rise buildings west of the river, on the southern island and towards the east of Avalon. Lastly the centre of the city tile could use a lot of mid-rise buildings to break up the skyscrapers. Large city tiles have never looked too good when filled to the brim with skyscrapers. Right, that's a good idea. Besides, there are only so many unique skyscrapers with what I consider to be good night lighting and I have to split those between Avalon and Veritas. Thanks for the suggestion. tariely: yep, it's gonna be fun to put (ordinary) people and commerces back in there !:-))) Oh, and What Is the bat with the sphere in pict 2, opposite the Burj Dubai (or whatever megalomaniac tower that is:-))) As Hetzel pointed out, the sphere is the Globe Arena. Not sure where to find it but it probably isn't that hard. Thanks. Terring: Oh boy, that's looks epic! Gold to hear it T. Thanks. citybuilder234:That is a very beautiful and planned city. I love how you make excessive use of the NWM and left turn lanes. That's how I should layout my American cities in SC4, with excessive use of the NWM and left turn lanes in my cities, including my cities of Craterville and Volcanopolis. BTW, where did you get the hyperloop pieces? Those hyperloop pieces are ATEX Tubes, I provided the link in a reply above. However, the pieces aren't the greatest. I didn't commit to using the way I wanted to because I had a lot of problems lining them up and making it look good. Then again maybe someone with more skill could do it. Thanks. slickbg56: Looks great. Always good to see the frame by frame transition of the changes you've made. Well that's a pretty old gif. I wish I kept more pics of the progress. Thanks. Snugies: reminds me of coruscant Thanks, I was partially inspired by it, but my city won't look anywhere near as futuristic. gviper: Loving the progression sequence! This is a massive project and it's looking great so far! Hey gviper, thanks. Belfastsocrates: Absolutely loving the work so far. I really miss this type of grand and expansive city planning, something I can't do with Passau as much, so this is a nice indulgence. Thanks B. Why can't you do something this kind of thing in Passau? gen. Falcon: Very nice and well planned. maybe if you try RHW could look better . i must ask what is SEAWALLS mod ? Yes, I really wish I planned the city using RHW, but I began before really understanding how to use it. The seawalls are Those are JENXPARIS Quais de Seine. Thanks raynev1: Well planned and looking great . Thanks mate. takemethere: I'm really impressed with how you are able to plan the city out beforehand, selectively build it up and executed it all in a (relatively) short amount of time. I'm still building my downtown years after I started, just get sidetrack with too many projects going on at once. Definitely looking forward to seeing the finished product here. Well it wasn't that short of a time. Not sure when I began but it feels like slightly over a year and who knows how long it will take to finish. Sometimes I get really in the flow, but then I go work on other things. Thanks. lucasfg3: Great project! Indeed a project for a better future! Stay tuned, thanks. Tonraq: Nice, although that economic crash is unfortunate. Yeah it was painful, but I like to look at it as a blessing in disguise. Thanks. kingofsimcity: What a grand and colossal city plan! You must have some incredible patience - I probably would've zoned in a few blocks and hit unpause already. I always have a few other tiles on the go to keep me busy when working on a large tile becomes tedious. Thanks. city89: 1 word nice. 2 words: thanks you. tankmank: Hopefully this will be the best version of Avalon. I like what you have planned already. It can be daunting needing to LE many buildings but it is worth it when you show a unique lot that fits into your city better. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the buildings being filled in . Yeah, LE can be particularly annoying because for some reason it won't launch properly after I play SC4. I often have to restart my computer to use it. Thanks.

Playing hockey with a broken foot. And I am sure there are others. Our gladiators need more caring lanistae.

Construction troubles. Egad, their new stadium has been found to be unsound. How many people remember the scandals surrounding the Montreal Olympic Stadium in 1967. This seems to be something on the order of a repeat performance.

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/story/2013/02/12/sp-ioc-olympics-wrestling.html Greco-Roman wrestling is one of the fundamental sports of the games. One wonders what the IOC can possibly be thinking? Anyway, this is only a proposal so far, but if you care you should jump on them before the next general IOC meeting.

The new Olympic Park in the heart of the city! The Main Stadium The Aquatics Centre The Main Car Park & Shuttle Stop The Toyota Indoor Arena Officals Offices & Broadcasting Centres Kashima Stadium Olympic Gardens & Arts The Main Football Stadium Track & All Round Purpose Mini-Stadium Olympic Park Able to welcome around 300,000 sims a day through major bus lines, huge parking facilities and various subway stations. The park will be able to continue with further development after the Olympic events and build more homes for estimated 40,000-50,000 sims around the wooded areas and by replacing the current carparks with residental zones. The park boasts a huge CoCo mall employing just over 2,000 sims who will continue to have stable jobs for years after the games.

Replies Simul8ter8: You have done it again.... just wonderful...Really like the new banner. Hey Simul8ter8, thanks. Felt like I needed a change for the banner, glad there has been positive feedback so far. Fox: Awesome City.. really love the pictures of dusk/dawn and the night picture .. the second and third picture. Love the use of the Spinnaker Tower, it's a bat that isn't used very often. Thanks Fox. Glad you enjoyed those pics, I got so lucky on the sunset pic, it wasn't even really intentional at first. I'll proudly feature any BAT by ILL Tonkso, like the Spinnaker Tower, he makes great stuff. dubaidude303: Love the update! Like the new banner!! Great work agian! Hey dude, glad you like it, thanks. I also like your new Avatar, what is that building? Just a concept right? IL.: Awesomeness Where did you get that obelisk? Gosh, I'm sorry IL, I meant to look at what it was called but I forgot to check. I'll keep my eyes open for you if you haven't figured it out yet. It comes in a bunch of size and you can find it on the ST/Exchange (whatever it is called). 10000000000000: That's beautiful in every sense of the word. Great building combination and outstanding choice of custom content! Hey 10000000000000, thanks. Veritas still has a few Maxis buildings here and there because it was built before I implemented a blocker, now I'm trying to diversify the buildings as much as possible. MamaLuigi945: Amazing pics! I love those mosaics. I agree with what ten trillion said; you have an astounding variety of buildings mixed with beautiful green areas. 5/5 & +1 Thanks Mama! Hazani Pratama: Good! Thank you. hiddentemple: The Mercure is now in international chain... okay with me? I guess it is... Veritas - Sports District This area was built to host International Sporting Events and was home of the World Games in 2158. Now, more than fifty years later, the stadiums remain some of the most attended in Ionica. The Central Stadium, commonly known as The Crystal Garden, is home field for the Veritas Judges; one of the best, but most hated, soccer teams in Ionica. If you live in Veritas you love them, if you don't you hate them; mostly because they win so much because the buy all the best players. Next to the Crystal Garden are the Veritas Swimming Center and the Sapphire Arena. Above the Crystal Garden is the old Fischer Baseball Stadium which has been around since the early days of Veritas. This area also features many residences and hotels where Sims can have a bird's eye view of all the action. The tallest being a Cobb Altura Tower where "there are numerous swimming pools and lounge areas, a sky-high tennis court, and even a small shopping center on the 19th floor. The observation lounge gives a dizzying view of nearly every rooftop in the city." The Altura Tower located in the Sports District of Veritas is one of the most expensive places to live in Ionica.
