Closeup from my city journal...MMPs galore!

@TheMurderousCricket Thank you! I've since found better ways to detail the sides of the streams with more appropriate flora for the climate! It has been some time since the last update; the computer I play SimCity 4 is effectively a desktop from now on after its battery went bust so I am leaving it in my weekend home. Obviously I can't play SimCity 4 on the weekdays as a result! Also, shoutout to the guys from the SC4 Show Us.... thread for giving constructive suggestions on improving MMP realism, especially alongside rivers and streams! All of this is MMP so it has been a lot of work indeed to achieve this end result. Back to the city journal.... ================================================================================================================================================================= The village of Gunung Gundul is the city tile just west of Citanggung, continuing the downstream path of the Citanggung river. By the way, "Ci" means river in the local language, so basically....ATM Machine! (chuckles) Gunung Gundul is named after the nearby mountain of Gunung Gundul, appropriately named as due to strong winds at its peak, it doesn't have trees. "Gundul" means "bald" in the local language. Like Citanggung, the village is mostly scattered settlements along the main road, with farms along the entire valley. Here, the river takes a bend, with the river valley only occupying just one corner of the entire 4x4km tile. Lets' start the tour.... Entering into Gunung Gundul, the first signs of settlement is this collection of small roadside businesses and the town school. A bridge connects the other side of the river, where people have settled along the steep and extremely narrow valley. Across the bridge and down to the foothills lie a thin, yet dense settlement and more farms. Most villagers here are low income farm laborers who work seasonally during harvest season and migrate to the main town of Rancabodas for whatever manual labor work is available, outside of harvest season. This is theoretically the center of Rancabodas, where the valley widens on one side, so most farms are here. The local clinic is here, so is the village hall (it is actually a Police Station lot but okay!). A local facility recycles lead acid batteries.....the people here aren't educated enough to care about the dangers of lead pollution on crops! Mo Moving north, the valley starts to close, here lies the village's only fuel station and the village's other school. Both are elementary schools. High school and middle school students must commute to neighboring Watukapur to continue their education. Here the Citanggung river is joined by an unnamed tributary stream from a nearby spring at Gunung Gundul. The valley from that point on is too steep and unstable for built development to continue. ==================================================================================================================================================================

@Girafarig Interesting! let my try this, never thought of it before! @kschmidt I'll see I can find bamboo MMPs on Simtropolis

The part I showed you is around 650m above sea level. That said, the Yucatan tree controller really suits what I'm going for and basically searching for whatever tropical plant MMPs would fit in.

Experimenting with adding tropical plants from CP vol 02 as undergrowth, plus some Heblem Tropical MMPs, what do you think? I also brushed god mode trees at a closer zoom to give it a denser, more forested appearance. Albeit, it seems that many tropical themed MMPs blend in far too well with the texture pack I use for my terrain Before: After: (1920×1080)

I remember that 2015 - 2019 dead era of Simtropolis! Barely any traffic to city journal posts and forum threads; only the modding and CC community had forum activity and Reddit was the primary conduit for showing your creations, aside from the Show Us... thread

Ahh I see, I believe its something that time will tell, eventually

Very happy that my reddit post made the community be active again!

What happened to the various Japanese BATs hosted on various Japanese imageboard sites and blogs? What happened to custom content from other non-english speaking SC4 communties that were never hosted on LEX or STEX? What happened to STEX/LEX disc exclusives? What happened to the bonus landmarks on the official SC4 website? How are the kids who played SC4 back in the day, doing right now, how many of them became actual urban planners? and how many BATters became actual architects or 3D visual artists?

1. Has anyone attempted to play SimCity 4 on an ARM64 system using Windows 11 on ARM emulation? 2. does it run? 3. if it does run, is it buggy or not? does it CTD now and then or does it run smoothly? 4. is there the possibility of unknown bugs we do not know yet, arising from the differences between an ARM64 architecture and the x86 architecture SimCity 4 was designed for?

any university related BATs recommended? Or do you guys just slam a bunch of buildings that sort of belong in a university area (and keep the vanilla game university/community college around for the actual functionality)?

Greetings everyone! Everything from the previous updates have been lost with my old computer, but I figured that I could "continue" this City Journal with the same theme (almost) in new map, as I still had a backup of the plugins folder! @Propfam: tagging @bhmantan ================================================================================================================================================================ The Regency of Rancabodas is a growing, predominantly agricultural region tucked far up in a bowl shaped valley surrounded by mountains. The place is known for its cool temperatures due to its high elevation, allowing for temperate crops to grow there, year round, with almost permanent springtime weather. We start going down the Citanggung River and the village of Citanggung named after the river itself (how creative!) Citanggung is a small village tucked in a very narrow valley, at the junction between Citanggung River and an unnamed stream leading down from a cattail covered natural spring. Life is very slow and simple up here! ================================================================================================================================================================ Natural spring and fish farms making good use of the natural spring to farm the cleanest tasting carp from the cleanest water ever! Water from the spring re-emerges at an unnamed creek a few hundred meters north. Nature still dominates here The village's iconic bridge and the intersection which is practically also the village "center". Is is really a village or just some houses and farms lining a road? Now leaving Citanggang for the next village, Watukapur! What does that village look like?

I've noticed how few I've noticed how few people (content creators especially) do this in city building games - they approach the "game" as an art project/canvas and completely turn off simulation until everything is all done and dusted. And I haven't seen one content creator do this organic building style in Cities Skylines! I haven't bought Cities Skylines (yet), though I'm trying it in my SC4 saves to the best of my abilities.

Just a thought, is this natural growth philosophy applicable to the "other" city building game (Cities Skylines) ?

buka trit SC4 kaskus edisi 2011, disitu ada file Slum Set dari si 976 tp ada beberapa dependency yang sulit dicari, buatan komunitas spanish-speaking SC4 (LBT). Buat bikin sawah gue rekomended MAS71 Rice Set, ada juga sawah versi HD dari situs jepang tp ane harus cari dulu dan ane memang tidak download set sawah tsb. karena berat ke laptop hehehe Semoga bermanfaat!
