Hello, this is my first MD here, about a seaside city called AL•FERRID.
Now, I'm still working on it so the updates will come slowly.
Hope you like it. :D

AWESOME!!!
I LOVE YOUR CANAL!!!!
Keep it up! &apls
Excellent start &apls I particularly like the way you've worked with the canals and water. Great choice of buildings and a nice looking city :thumbsup:
I love the complexities of what we see so far!!
Great work.
Robin
You have a great choice of buildings here, and the way you have worked with the water and shore is stunning. Look forward to more for sure! :D
Some very nice work going on there! Lovely job with your city my friend!

@Seattisk:Thank you for concerning ;D
@noahclem: Thanks Noah, I'm thniking about adding some beaches around.
@rooker1: Thanks! I swear the upcoming districts are more complex :D
@sim_link: Thanks a lot! I'm glad that you love this selection of buildings.
@art128: Thank you my friend. I'll keep updating ;D
Interesting start there, are those canals relotted/retextured from Cal´s canals?
Great job my friend, I really like the buildings selection and the use of those canals, your new city looks so good !!
Keep up the good work :thumbsup:
PD: Where can I find that TV tower ? I love it !!
Ni Hao! What a wonderful job you did here !! I am really impressed &apls
It looks like a really nice start ;)
Great job! &apls
Fantastic start. &apls

@Swesim:Thanks a lot. These are Moonlight's canal, not relotted from Cal's. You can find it here:http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/22057-ml-jpn-canal-set-for-can-am/ (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/22057-ml-jpn-canal-set-for-can-am/)

@Tokugawa:你好! Thank you for supporting my city, and I promise I'll try my best to update. Please keep concerning. :)
@Girafe:Thank you, Girafe. I've left room in my city for your lovely, marvellous, incoming EDF tower. :D
@Mr.Lin:Thanks a lot, my friend. ;D
@nbvc:Thanks. Please keep concerning. ;D
Please try to keep your replies with an actual update as movement through the MD sections is based on post count. - Robin ;)
Wow, that is mind-blowing!! :D I really love your choice of buildings and the layout is great! It doesn't look to cluttered and is very well thought out :) + the lotting? Love it, love it, love it!!
Great start, but I think the Maxis highway looks a little out of place. Maybe a darker asphalt texture would help.
Cheers
Willy
Fantastic work! I really like the mix of buildings :)
Cool :thumbsup:
Nice to see you here !
This city look really nice, one of a kind, great work. Maybe you should add some traffic generators !
I'll stay tuned for more ! :)
Replies:@
Republic:Thanks for concerning, my friend. I'm so glad you love this selection of buildings. Your city also enlighted me a lot. :D
@
Swordmaster: Thanks for your advice. I did have considerred using asphalt texture, but I thought the original one is also great. Doesn't it look more outstanding than a darker texture?
@
Framly:Thank you. I'll carry on updating.
@
Terring7:Thanks a lot. ;D
@
Ol.S / Benoit:Hey!So glad to have you visit here. I'll put on some traffic later, when the whole city is built. A city without traffic is really freaky...
UPDATE 2 - District A(Con'd)
I have relotted nearly every BAT in the city, so the updates won't come easy.
However, I'll bring you a few new pics, mostly the night scenes.
Hope you like it ;D

我该说什么好呢?
看你的城市简直就是一种享受。
继续保持~
A new update! :o I am very pleased to see again from you pictures. :thumbsup: If you wanna show it is always impressive. :thumbsup: The night shots amaze you with their beauty and attention to detail. I like the colorful fountain on the roundabout. :)
Very nice night pics and awesome looking city.
I can tell it took a lot of time to do the LOTting, but it looks like the result was worth it.
Robin &apls
Nice work with your city.
The night pictures are awesome and I like the selection of buidings and the LOTing. &apls
@art128:Weird isn't it? I just put a little flavour to it $%Grinno$%
@Mr.Lin: Thanks a lot, my friend. I'm waiting for your updates :thumbsup:

@rooker1:Thank a lot! It does take a lot of time to do the LOTting, but I find it really interesting ;D
@Kergelen:Thank you, my friend. I'll keep updating ;D
AN OVERALL SNAP
I decide to put this overall pic up though the city is still unfinished. I've been busy lately so may not have the time to deal with the details. Just to show that the city is still alive and need not-so-long time to decorate the rest of it ;)
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi953.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fae11%2Fweixc812%2FAlFerrid2.jpg&hash=0bbb8f1ede1b1397fa57b2909641ed62c16a890c)
It's a little hazy since it's highly compressed.
And any comments?
The global layout is genious, beaches, canals, bay, marinas, amusement park... Amazing work !
I just feel like their is not enaugh density, this is a lot of stadiums, museums & parks ! But I guess it works with the idea of the "perfect" city ! :)
Awesome overview &apls Your work in LE has definitely paid off. And that lightning picture :o
Keep it up :thumbsup:
Great city. &apls
&apls &apls &apls
AMAZING !!!
&apls so excellent job~ hope to see your more fantastic works here in the future,WC! ;D
Looks really nice love the canal system. Btw where can I get that zig zag building near the waterfront.
Thanks.
Hmm I missed the update...
Very nice overview. We can see how well lotted your city is. I just wish your railways had smooth curves, that would be excellent. ;)
like your city very much !
wait for your next update~

art128: I personally don't like the railway without texture, so I ignore the FARR and decide to use the original zigzag ones(Freaky isn't it $%Grinno$%)
I like this. There is water every where. That would kind of challenging, I think

I really like that amusement park that's somewhat in the water, and your choice of buildings.

Well i do agree with you that it's most of the time frustrating to not have any grass under the FARR pieces.
Wonderful update once again. Quite an unique city you've there.
Nice city ! &apls
I will always support you ! :thumbsup:
Awesome, this district is lifestyle :thumbsup:
Awesome update &apls All the water and green spaces are really nice and you have a very good choice of buildings :thumbsup:

Oh please, could you give number to your pictures?
My favorites pictures from the last update are #2 and #4, wonderful harbour and amusement park :thumbsup:

I hadn't seen this one before this month, but I'm glad to have found it due to your achievement of OSITM. It must have been time consuming to re-LOT all of those buildings. I especially like the roller coaster in the water.
:thumbsup:
Congratulations on your OSITM Nick :party: I'm looking forward to seeing what you have for us this month!!
A big congrats on getting into OSITM!
I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us.
If it's anything like your past updates, we are in for a treat.

Wow, this is good. The third picture shows it well, this is one of the best night-time business districts I've seen in a while. I like how it's not all jam-packed, but still very dense at the same time.

Wonderful update, the amount of landmarks in your city makes it looks beautiful. The custom lots are incredible.
I love the filter you use on your city shots - they give it a distinct look, and do a very nice job of avoiding making things look too cartoon-like.
Nice update &apls Such an interesting transport system style :thumbsup:
A really innovative landmark city :D
I like how it's full with water canals, is it functional btw? Or just plopped?
