Thank you all for the lovely comments about the Winter scenes. I hope they do well in the ST challenge!

Really got back into SC4 in the past week after a break lasting well over a month.

Still working the same massive city. Gonna be a massive job to get it presentable for a CJ entry, but its coming along nicely.  ;D

What an interesting contrast between right-bank classical district and left-bank skyscraper forest. Tradition vs modern architecture :) I took a deeper look into the first one, seeing that's going to be quite luxurious, because off all those palaces and high-wealth tenements. I'd like to see in detail the park with stairs in front the Cathedral.

From other points, I like the smoothness of road and highway layout in such (relatively demanding) narrow area of a city. And that small island in the middle of the river :)

Looking forward for more, hope you find time! :)

Edit: just got one remark: for me, the palace with white walls and blue roof in front of the railway station doesn't fit there. Both in this particular place (it's to narrow in its backyard) and coloristically (to bright comparing to other buildings).  And, at least for me, it  reminds me architecture of Estonia/Latvia or Finland, what quite confuses my perception of the city ;)

I agree, the contrast is very nice.
I don't like towering skyscrapers in my own cities, but this works nicely.  :thumbsup:
The "new" neighbourhood with the skyscrapers could be the result of some heavy gentrification of an old working class / industrial neighbourhood by an ambitious mayor  ;D

^^ Couldn't agree more with both comments above me... ;D Nice work so far  :thumbsup: . It does take time to work a major updates hope we can see the best
The CBD with skyscrapers kinda reminds me of Canary Wharf in London... I think because of the riverview and the transition of classical w2w with modern highrises

It's been some time...
I've been away from SC4 for a while having been weighed down with RL events, but I finally managed to get more work done on the city of Niederbauen. I completed the historical center to an extent that I felt ready to show you guys and there's a lot left to show.

Hope you enjoy it!

Nice work!

The different parks (classical ones and MMP) fit perfectly  :thumbsup:

Beautiful city. You obviously put a lot of work in it, with all the plazas and MMP work. I like it.
Just one small remark, i find that most shots are empty of life, like no cars or pedestrian around... A bit of a shame considering the beauty of the city.

I thought about that when editing the images, so I went back into the game to try and get some traffic generators working, but I couldn't get anything to look natural - and without rebuilidng the area to be growables (which would take weeks) I decided to leave it. Other areas have a much higher growable density, so should look more alive!

Love those parks and open-grass areas, as well as the squares (the one among the small and old w2w's, that is supposed to be a main market square, I guess)?

One remark from me: in the second photo, those orhto-to-diagonal corner w2ws look a bit... overcombined. I'd presonally demolish those two utmost ones that are in between the avenue, tram-in-road and the street.

However, good work with putting a diagonal bridge in such a dense area  :thumbsup:

Love this city. It's very well balanced and the parks are very nice. The different neighbourhoods have their respective atmospheres and the whole city has a marvelous sense of place. The only thing I miss are the trams, the cars I can very well be without ;D
Come join me on a hike to St Edmea!

Thanks for the feedback - as for the diagonal bridge, put that down to photoshop.  :D

Yeah, sorry about the trams - now I look at it again I see how empty it is. There will be more next time!  ;D

I'm not quite sure what you mean by captions, and what would you like me to say in them - let me know!  :)

Magnificent! You realize the parks with much accuracy, they appear natural and the paths MMP of SM2 are great! The docks with all these boats are very beautiful too, and the city W2W is very well done. We want to walk the streets so much that it's beautiful!

It was high time to make an update! &apls

I mean a short description about the content of the image, such as which part of the city or map is.
