Steven's Point My 1st City

[Starmanw402007]

I have yet more updates & images of Steven's Point for you mayors today. I've been expermenting with my new railroad/avenue trick of making what I call a divided avenue with a subway system. The newest avenue to be upgraded from 2 lanes to 4 was middle section of Steven's Point.
This avenue was your basic 2 lane avenue. I since then upgraded my AVE-4 TO AVE 8 I believe(correct me if I'm wrong). Ave is is 4 lanes in one
direction and 4 lanes in another direction. This is part of my new subway system. Some avenues will be upgraded to 4 lanes on each side. I'll have to wait until I get hands on the new mods that will make this process easier  . that increase the # of lanes without doing it the hard way using avenues and railroads  . So here's the photo of my divided avenue. Also, can some adjust the code that is showing to make my title bold? I'm see the codes for some reason.

Here' s my version of the RHW still using the avenue/railroad track trick. You'll noticed I have 8 lanes now. 4 going north to south and 4 others going the opposite direction.

Good looking avenue-textures there, Starmanw402007! Nice!

Is there a way I can remove the code I have to make my title bold without harming the photo itself?

Thanks jeronij, Do you have any suggestions on easing traffix? Here's what I've done thus far with trying to solve this issue. I've added several new highways,subways,railroads and yes even airports (1) currently with (2) Landing Strips. I've also begun to lower taxes for the sims of Steven's Point since I've installed Azulz Money Modd. I've always Had it, but took it out of the game just to see If I could do a city without it. And it worked, I was able to have the city without using that mod for 75 game years . However, I needed the extra $ to make these new highways . But traffic is the major headache of the week. I've just added a dual Elevelated/Ground Highway for the residental area. The Elevelated Highway Starts this new highway at the High Residental Area with Ground Highway ending at the Low Wealth Residental. The main cause of the traffic jams I'm been having in Residental Area is population count which exceeds 130k currently. I need some new Ideas from you mayors ok. might have to rebuild the Residental area again to see if this eases my traffic issues I'm dealing with. The car population of these new highways and avenues are just over 5K. I'll be glad when the new mods come out .

Well Mayors, I've returned with new updates Of Steven's Point. Today, I've spent majority of the day relocating all Low & Medium Wealth Residental, Commerical & Industrial District to make room for a new highway and a cloverleaf interchange to support traffic. That's coming out of
the Residental Areas to work or whatever these sims are doing in the city  . I've also been updating the subway system and added more bus stations for presiditians that like to walk to work. I shall have more photos later this week with the newly rebuilt prison at Steven's Point.The prison
comes complete with Nexis Prison Wall and a small recreation area for the prisoners. I've also relocated the Huge bridge I had connecting a little Island just off the mainland of Steven's Point to the Large Island at the northeast of the city. I'll soon be relocating the High Weath Residental once again to make room for new avenues roads and mass transit system. Here are some photos Of what I've been doing today. The photos I'll show is a completely new rebuilt deluxe recreation center for the sims of Steven's Point.  .

Well mayors, here's the new improved Steven's Point Playground. It comes complete with The Coastal Casino,Casino,Country Club,City Zoo,Resort Hotel,Captain Jack Seafood Rest.,Wendys,Dunkin Donuts,McDonalds,Movie Studio,TV Studio,Radio Station. Just off the left corner of the screen is the cruise port. As you can plainly see by the stats, Our population has exploded LOL to a whopping 146905 sims in Steven's  Point. Once again, I'm attempting to realign the Highways of Steven's Point to accomdate the traffic problems I'm experiencing. And also will redo the subway system. That is destroy the old subway and build new ones that will travel up
the avenues only. Hopefully, Hopefully this will ease my problem with the traffic and congestions. However, I do know that the sims will try and make things hard for this mayor  .

As I said in the above paragraph. I'll be uploading more photos of Steven's Point to show ok.

I'll soon have some new photos of Steven's Point Monorail System I've created for Fantasy Island at Steven's Point. Reason why I call it Fantasy Island, is all the great recreation the sims of Steven's Point can do. I have there as seen in the After Rebuilding Of The Super Deluxe Recreation Center.

[Pat]

Will be looking forward to the pics of the new monorail system....

Nice picture there, Starmanw402007! (And nice little tutorial, Pat!)

[Starmanw402007]

Thanks, I'll remember that next time. I've made a nice tunnel for one of my avenues near the ocean of Steven's Point. I'm hoping that will limit the traffic noise level that the residents of Steven's Point are complaining about being too high. I do have those highway walls. I'll have to add more of those to it. I also will have new photos Of Fairbanks as well. Fairbanks borders Steven's Point to the east. I also hope to have new photos of Dansfield which is named after my brother Daniel.

[Pat]

sweet starman I look forward to seeing the new update then... I hope that little tuturiol helps out, I belive you got a good MD here 

[Starmanw402007]

Hey Pat, I do got a bit of a problem in Steven's Point however. It's briefcase starting to popup allover the place. I was in the process of adding more jobs with the game itself stopped and crashed on me . Any Suggestions? cause I'm almost out of space in Steven's Point. And I have 2 other cities growing right now. They are Fairbanks which I had to rebuilt due to me making a booboo $%\ .    did I just do was my ? and then said foolish me, I did again. And I will have Dansfield back-up and running again. Dansfield is named after my brother Daniel. I might have to build a 4th city just for jobs for Steven's Point and call it Steven's Point Heights. I'll see what I decide later today or tomorrow.

[Pat]

yup those brief cases are showing no jobs at all, sounds to me that you have unemployment problem... I will wait to see what you have done to compensate this problem....

[Starmanw402007]

I might have to rebuild the business sector of Steven's Point again and see if that'll solve the problem. At least I have some money to rebuild. Which leads me to ask this question. Should I lower the taxes since I have 54million dollars in the city coffer. I currently have taxes at 7.0 to 9.0 in residental district, 7.5 to 8.5 in Commerical, and 8.5 to 9.0 in industrial I have no Farming in Steven's Point cause I have no space for it. Steven's Point coffer ratio is 2-1 which means I'm make more $ then the city expenses. When I bring up more photos I'll show what I'm making in terms of money for the city itself.

[Starmanw402007]

Hello Mayors, sorry for long delay of Steven's Point. Today, I have 3 new photos to show you of Steven's Point. These photos will be images of Palace Fine Arts,Big Ben and My new improved Airport for Steven's Point. I've added 2 new runways for the Airport itself. And they connect the Large International Airport. I took care of the traffic problem for now. I cant wait until the TLA and 5-Lane OWR become available. I can sure use them right about now in the city LOL. Like most mayors though I have to be patience. So without further due, he's the update long over due.

Also with the addition  of Big Ben, I've added the Palace Of Fine Arts here. Which will give the sims more things to do.







With money coming into Steven's Point I've decided it was time to give something nice to the people of Steven's Point. Here's Big Ben, this will help the Sims Of Steven's Point Keep their appointments.

Here's the new improved Steven's Point international Airport. I've added 2 new runways for more planes to land in Steven's Point. Best of all, this new improved Airport will provide more jobs To the city and improve my ratings.

Very nice pictures here,its always great to see work in progress. One thing I noticed in picture #2 is that the road does not bisect the avenue but just joins the avenue at both sides. I have never used that technique.

[Pat]

Real good update here Starman!!!!
