Title: Show us your Downtowns & CBD's!
Post by: Masochist on November 10, 2006, 10:45:29 PM
I'll open this part of the forums with the quintessential "Downtown" thread...

Some shots from what is currently the largest business district in my region:

Well here is a downtown I am currently working on. Thank you  Blahdy for allowing me to test the Big Dig V 2.0 lots. You can see them at work here.

Alek King!!  Hello!  :)

Very large, but very awesome picture  ;)!  One thing I've always loved about your downtowns is that you don't just throw a billion of the tallest skyscrapers together, you know?  Not that that's ever bad, but it's always something special to see a downtown like yours that has some open spaces (where you can actually see the roads between them), and that flows gracefully from commerce to res/industry.  You've always been a master at this, and I've always admired your work because of it!  Thanks for sharing, and I hope you post more pictures soon!  :thumbsup:
Title: Re: Show us your Downtowns & CBD's!

TheTeaCat: Nice picture!  I can just imagine myself driving down that road at night coming up to that roundabout!  Also, this may sound kind of strange, but I like all of the parking lots.  There always has to be a lot of parking space in any kind of commercial area (and in big downtowns, parking lots can even take up entire blocks), but it's something a lot of people (like me...) forget to make room for.  Nice job!  :thumbsup:

mjig_dudy: Very interesting!  I've never seen a commercial area quite like that done before in SC4.  It reminds me of Venice or Amsterdam...or even New Orleans, for some reason.  I especially like that close-up picture of the avenue.  Love the concept, and I'd love to see more pictures of it!  ;)

I really hope these pics inspire other people to share their's!  I might post some more later, but I don't have too many more, and I really want to see more from everyone else!

I've seen some lovely stuff on the  STeX  and once i get the "set" can start that properly. anyhow thanks for positive feedback it always helps :thumbsup:

mjig_dudy: Very nice picture!  :thumbsup:  I love the skyscrapers in the foreground, not only because it creates an interesting juxtapostion, but it also gives an interesting perspective, in that it gives the impression that you took the picture from a taller skyscraper (I tried to do the same thing as you'll see, with less satisfying results in my opinion  &mmm).  The region as a whole has a New Orleans feel to it (even though I've never been to New Orleans... ::)), just because it's those skyscrapers next to the cultural zone along the canals.  And as icing on the cake, it looks very good together  ;)!  Nice job!

Okay, so for the first time since I started this thread (I think...), I'm going to post some pictures!  ;D

First, some more pictures of the same downtown region from before -
The region at night:

Now the one I was talking about earlier:

Hi to all,

bat, the problem with the embebed flash has been solved, as you may notice  ;D . What about a nice tutorial about how to make those incredible animations  ;) ?¿

meinhosen, your pics do have something...not sure what, but the city looks excellent. Probably is the buildings you use, as Alek mentioned. Great job  :thumbsup:

TTC, nothing against your building style, but against Maxis palms.... I hate them  :bomb: !!!, there is a mod somewhere that removes them .... ;) .  As a construtive criticism I would suggest you to build the different zones far from each other, specially the dirty industry. Try to copy what you see in real life, in you CJ. Of course, the game has tons of limitations, but you dont usually see R$$$  near dirty industries like in some of your pics  ;) .

Jeronij

Thanks for your comments, they are always appreciated.

I agree about the palms they are going to go, its just a matter of time to get all the bits I had on my pc before the crash.

And it is helpful little remiders like yours that I realise what it was that was bugging me about those pics. ::)


I'll put your Latte           just there.  :thumbsup:

I agree in general about the different zones being further apart, but in some parts of Ireland and the UK you do find nowadays, due to lack of space that both mix together but slowly the industry is forced out to be relaced by very expensive appartments or shopping complexes.

I see a lot of this around where I live so in a way I am reflecting RL.

I am still terraforming the region I am presently working on but sometimes the urge to play takes over. Also a lot of these pics are me making sure the stuff in the plugins have all their respective dependencies. ;D

And at the same time I'm putting in the main roads etc. Most of these zones will be drastically changed when I start building properly on the region ;)

bat, the problem with the embebed flash has been solved, as you may notice  ;D . What about a nice tutorial about how to make those incredible animations  ;) ?¿

If I have enough time (perhaps in the winter holidays), I could make some tutorials for the animations...

Yes I see it is solved, thanks!!

Aiya!  I've been lurking too much, and I haven't commented on anyone's pictures yet, or said thanks for the comments I got for mine  :-[ !  I'm sorry...but this'll be a long comment, I guarantee:

Everyone: Thanks for your comments on my pictures!  It's very much appreciated, and a lot of the inspiration I have for posting more (and therefore going into SC4 and actually creating more to post...).

mjig_dudy:
Nice culture clash you've made, there (with the Hong Kong buildings and the London Skyscraper peeking out from behind)...it looks good together!  I like the picture as a whole, because that water is kind of mysterious (because you don't see it), but you can look out over it.  Nice!

meinhosen: Awesome looking downtown!  I agree with AK, that's a very nice selection of BAT's you've decided to show, especially since I'm a big fan of JaWood's work.  And all the pictures are crisp and detailed, so it looks even better.  Nice bit of PS'ing you've done by adding that rain, as well!

bat: I'm jealous, because I can't make animations!  Your's looks great, though!  Good timing, too; it gives us time to take in each picture.  And about the pictures, I really like that park from the first and last pics (I'm assuming they're the same one), and that parking lot from the third picture would satiate even aaronperry from ST.  Good work, I hope to see more of those some day!

TheTeaCat: Nice looking area!  Those diagonal buildings surrounding the road look great, and in fact I think they'd make a good centerpiece for the area, you know?  And I wish I knew how to use roundabouts effectively in my cities, but I don't, because I live in America, and no one in America really knows how to use roundabouts...(:P...that was a joke...).  But you use them well.  Good job!  (P. S., nice suburbs, there...)

emilin: I don't think I've ever seen that centerpiece building before, it's very interesting.  I love those Sunken Malls, just because they add another visible dimension to cities.  I also like that mall next to the seashore.  I'd love to see a wider shot of this area, because it looks fanastic from what I see.  Nice work!


(Geez, that felt like it should be in the "Rate One Image" thread at ST...that's usually how my posts there look).  So I should post here a lot more often than I do, but I do look at every single picture, and I really like what I see!  Not that that means much, but it's just good to know that there is a lot of talent here.  Keep 'em coming, please (although I really can't do that much...)!

The centerpiece building is just Maxis Gugenheim landmark, but I like it anyway.

Some of the Maxis stuff is not bad so we do not have to frown upon it.
This is a great way of showing the quality of that Maxis buidling. I like that one Emilin.

I usually hide the landmark buildings using a mod to clear the ingame menus and forget just how good some of Maxis stuff is.
I just didn't recognise it &mmm

But you display it in a great way :thumbsup:

Praiodan:  Nice Euro-vibe I get from this picture!  I like that cathedral in the middle of the avenue, and Marrast's embankments really fit in your town.  That "small town" looks like it could hold quite a few people with all the apartments!  Nice job!

mjig_dudy
: Nice animation!  I have to wonder how you got the lights to fade on and off...that's a great effect!

Rayden
: That might be the longest mosaic I've ever seen!  Wow!...but I think the boards add that space between each picture.  Doesn't matter, though, that's excellent!  I also like those apartments in the first picture.  Very interesting!

What space between pictures? Maybe you're using other browser than MS Internet Explorer. Firefox perhaps, on MS IExplorer, you don't see that gap on between. ;)

Ahh, that's it!  Yeah, I'm using Firefox, mainly because I don't really like the new IE yet (it keeps shutting down on me)...but also because Firefox can show PNG's on ST.  Hmmm...I wonder if those gaps can be fixed?  Either way, that's an excellent mosaic!

Hi to all,

Praiodan  :shocked2:  !!!. One of the most realistic cities I have seen in a looong time  :thumbsup: . I specially liked the church in the middle of the avenue. Great work indeed.

mjig_dudy, you should use a direct link to the .swf file. The link you used opens the file inside a ImageShack window. That is why it does not work. You must use the same link you use for the normal pictures.

Rayden, this is a HUGE mosaic indeed   :D  . However, under the sunlight would look much better (IMO  ;) )

TTCat, I have just seen you last set of pics, man, the last one is simply spectacular  ??? . I love the work you did with the shoreline  :thumbsup:

Oh, and what does "CBD" mean ?¿  :-[

ok some more pics, with some actual explanation!!!!

ok this is an overview of my cbd, at first it was all commercial but as the region
pop grew and it's neighbors all grew over 40,000 in R$ and R$$$ sims i added
about 20,000 R$$$ sims in high rise and about 30,000 more R$$ and R$ highrise sims
in urban rebuild projects downtown really increasing density, for a small tile.  This city tile
also has 4 highway connections (one on each side) and same for rail each with 15,000 commuters from neighboring tiles. also as you can see one highway goes straight trough the other two both curve into big
dig tunnels then connect


(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg173.imageshack.us%2Fimg173%2F8960%2Fhugecitygy2.jpg&hash=307178d53cbfd175de13697d6b4a99a7619a5ae3)

just to the north of the CBD in this region lies this tile

Large Mosaic ImageHERE (http://img173.imageshack.us/img173/5666/hugerescitynorthcbdhb4.jpg)

It has both rail and highway connects to the CBD, this city has nearly 60,000
sims, and some recently developed highrise CO$$ near the border with downtown
and around the North End Rail Hub.

I design my cities from the inside out, meaning i plop a ton of large buidings in
a cbd then go out a few tiles 2 or 3 and start building suburbs, these sims then are gorced
(by me not providing any other  means) to commute to the CBD a tile or two over.

then i build in toward the cbd increasing the density as i go, at tile immediately surrounding the cbd rail traffic really begins to pile up and large terminals and  transfer stations help to handle the load and also provide a good focal point for some added commercial development due to the high traffic.

An quick note about the next pic even though you see streets the only commute path for these sims is via rail there is no job access via road, sometimes you just have to mandate this kinda thing.  Also in urban settings i use NOBs urban textures to match the parking concrete.

Just forget the pictures from AK posted above, and judge the following ones on their on merit, thankyouverymuch.  ;)

Here's an overview shot of my newest downtown area:

A close up on the area around the central station:

The area around City Hall. Some midrise repeat in this shot, but not to disturbing, and I love the blue/black building in the bottom right corner:

And finally one of my favorite BAT:s right now... the highway going through the old central post office:

Great pictures AK, meinhosen and emilin.

meinhosen: you are right, its nice to see a small downtown. Its a good contrast. After all its not always the size that matters.

emilin: I love your landscaping, it looks great among the tall buildings.

AK: Great estates, the repitition looks very effective on the row houses. And your highrise buildings are spectacular.

I think this may be my favorite thread on this entire site, and for good reason!  I'm always excited to see new posts, and I'm always hoping for new pictures here more than anywhere else.  I've been truant for a little while, and now that I've had a bit of time to look on this site, you guys definatly do not disappoint!

Nikom: I've never been a fan of that particular WTC because of the lack of detail on the surrounding buildings, but your downtown is nice!  It's looks very well organized, and not just some gigantic sea of the tallest buildings you can find.  I love how it flows from the tallest buildings (the WTC) down to the shorter and smaller buildings as it gets further away.  And that freeway looks very nice!  Also, that's a spectacular night shot!  Very colorful and not too overpowering.  Nice work!

pvarcoe: I like the feel of your pictures, although I can't quite say what it is specifically that I like.  Maybe it's the shallow sloping hills you have throughout.  Not sure.  I love those pictures that were taken at different times of the day!  Very clean, both of them. There are some BAT's that you have that I don't think I've ever seen (and I've seen quite a few, if I do say so myself...).  All in all, great job!

I can never wait to see what else develops in this thread.  I'll try and maybe get more pics of my cities on here one day, but I don't want to keep showing the same areas (although I may try my hand at making a mosaic).  We'll see.  But until that happens, I'll just be waiting for everyone else's works, so please keep 'em coming!

A bit heavy on the palm trees I would say, it looks a bit like a tropical island now. But it's definetelly not wip.

Normaly I hate cheating. But this time I have no choice, because my mediteranean stuff doesn't grow at all... So: Once I had a cheater-LOT. It was a 1x1 Park, just some trees on it. After plopping it into a city, everything grew up very fast and everythng $$$. I NEED this LOT again, but I don't know where to search for it... I've searched on all the bigger SC4-download-sites but I couldnt find it..
If you know about this LOT and maybe have seen it, it would be great to give me the link...

I will be posting pics of my new downtown area tommorrow.

It is an experiment where the only way to access the commercial jobs is via highway or rails,
I have managed to get 6 seperate rail/L lines and two highways entering the CBD each approaching 20,000
commutters all of whom commutte from outside the city tile, with no dilapidation issues in those cities.

Quick question, what is the most you have gotten on a highway  or rail without dilapidation problems, anyone get 100,000?

LP_Green: Nice clean area...makes a stark contrast to the pictures that come before and after it (Fairlane500 and mjig_dudy).  I like the different BAT's showcased, and the greenness of it all.  Although the way the streets go around the avenues when they cross the sunken highway kind of sticks out (because the avenues have that grass texture under them).  But I guess that's just a nit-pick.  Cool picture overall!

mjig_dudy: Oooh, grungy!  I love that sunken rail line!  And that's a very interesting building on the right side of the picture...the one with the almost-abstract assortment of windows.  The one with the graffiti on it.  Very crouded, very dirty...very nice!

meldolion:  I like how your CBD goes right along those foggy cliffs!  I also like those apartments and buildings right next to that sunken highway.  Next time, though, please make sure to minimize those toolbars, because I would love to see the rest of that second picture.  Thanks!

jen_p: Nice open area there!  Seems like the perfect setting for the government seat!  I especially like that park.  So simplistic, but so charming.  Awesome!

Shadow Assassin: Cool pictures!  Very New York-esqe in my opinion, what with the large parks surrounded by the tall buildings.  Don't know if that's what you were going for, but that's the kind of vibe I got.  Nice work!


Okay, so believe it or not, I actually got to work, and I have pictures to share!  This will be a before and after type thing.  Ahh, but first:

Prelude:

This is Emerald Square from my SC3KU city Power City (which I'm recreating using SC4...looking NE):
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FEmeraldSquare.jpg&hash=1a892b68052ed38dc5c2c538521ae42b006c40d8)

Basically, a high end shopping area, with some nice mid-to-high rise office buildings.  So that's what I wanted to recreate with SC4.

Before:

This is my first attempt at it:

Yeah.  That's right.  All I did was zone some stuff and hope for the best.  Which I didn't get.  The only part I actually worked on a bit was this plaza:

Ahh...yeah.  Let's not speak of that one again.  Either way, I deleted the entire thing and decided to start over.

After:

After trying a few things (which I didn't like at all), I finally swallowed my pride and decided to start plopping.  After a couple hours of leveling and plopping and the like, I finally ended up with something I like (the first one is facing north-ish):

The entire inspiration for this area came from the COCO Center, which has to be one of the most unique and cosmopolitan B.A.T.'s ever B.A.T.'d.:

I also wanted NDEX's Club ATOM Blue right in there somewhere, because I thought it would help establish what kind of area it was supposed to be:

Okay...so that's the story behind it.  Now for some choice shots, starting with a nighttime shot of Club ATOM Blue and the Marriot:

So there's my showcase.  I know it probably didn't even merit such an unnecessarily long post like this, but I was just a bit over-excited that I get to share something finally, especially after seeing so much of the good work that has been going on lately!

(By the way...is there an easier way to resize the pictures for the forums without actually resizing them on my computer  :-[?  If there is, please let me know, because even though there isn't, to my knowledge, a size restriction for photos, I know it can be really annoying for some people to have to bother with gigantic 1024 x 768.  Thanks!)

Great CBDs everyone! Masochist, Thats a great progression. At first I was like  ??? Thats a bit rough... but then I saw how you progressed and eventually ended up with a great downtown! Very nice. And brakenfell is just great as well.

Nice mosaic, Giligone!  I remember this area from when you showed it on ST.  I love that peachish tower, it's very ineteresting!  And even though this is the "Downtown/CBD" thread, I really like that little housing community by the coast.  I'd like to just drive that street, maybe stop and enjoy the view.  Nice!

Hey. These are fantastic downtown's and CBD's. Makes me wanna post some of mine from my top city of all, Ringerstene. Sadly, even after 500 years of work, it ain't done yet, 'cause some of my districts are regressin'....gotta figure that out.

Anyway, I've been lookin' all over for this one buildin', and I'm havin' huge trouble findin' it. Alec, Crazychicken, where'd ya find this gem, and if ya could post a link to the site or source? Thanx.

AK: Funny...for some reason, that Sears Tower works very well in your city... ;).  Do you ever get tired of hearing "Nice work," or "I'm in awe of what you've created," or "You make me want to quit SC4 because I know I'll never get anywhere near your level?"  Because I don't know if it'll ever stop...

pipishere: Nice developements!  And I like that Stock Exchange, except whose idea was it to make it pink? ( %wrd...I'm sorry... :-[).

Anyways, I don't really have any new pictures to show...but I kinda do.  These are just ones that I've altered in The GIMP (free photo editor) and I thought they looked pretty good.  And as there isn't a thread to show off altered photos (yet... ;)), and since they're both taken in a downtown area, I'd thought I'd show 'em here...

First, a picture with Geometry building in focus...

And a neon picture that I think really brings out the 3rd dimension in the SkyTower:

AK:  Fantastic job as always!  You never cease to amaze . . .

Pipisphere:  Nice pics! I like the use of the Gateway arch, the construction lots, and the neon pink shot is very neat.

Masochist:  Nice edits there, with the perspective and the neon glow really does bring out the 3-dimensionality, as well as providing a certain surrealistic/futuristic flair.

ElPhantasmo69:  I really like that downtown area you have there, particularly the amount of open space, with all those really nice-looking parks. 

Well, here's probably the first shot I've shown of anything here . . . this is downtown area of Argentum, which probably my best city at the moment (though it still needs a lot of work in my opinion).  I've been working on it for about a year, and it dates back to the time when I first discovered the great online SC4 community and all the custom content and MDs/CJs, so it is a loaded with Maxis stuff.  This is actually one of the densest areas I've ever built, as I'm generally big on ultra low-density, but the population of the whole large city tile is still only 43,000.

ElPhantasmo69: Great job! I love mix of tall skyscrapers and the smaller buildings in between.
Title: Re: Show us your Downtowns & CBD's!
Post by: Masochist on February 11, 2007, 11:32:09 PM
ElPhantasmo69: Nice downtown!  I like the flow of things...you've got a very nice range of mid/tall/ultra-tall buildings, but nothing really dominates over the other buildings, so nothing seems too out of place.  And I agree with everyone else: the liberal amounts of open space is very nice!  It's part of the reason why I like AK's stuff so much.  I have to ask you:  that building in the top left part of the picture (with the big park/pond in front of it)...what function does it serve in that city?  Is it like a capitol building?  Just wondering...

Tarkus:  I tried to create an area in my city that I was hoping would look something like that.  It ended up being my cities largest ghetto  &sly.  It's good to see that some people can succeed in making a nice mid-high wealth, mid-high density res area!  Good work!

Cali, thundercrack83 and Masochist:  Many thanks for the comments/compliments.  Here's a couple more shots of downtown Argentum.  As far as getting mid-high wealth/density residential, I had a rather strange strategy.  This city (like the vast majority of mine) actually has no mass transit.  Call me crazy.

Everyone: Thanks for your comments! It really helps boost confidence to get great feedback like that.

Masochist: That area is part of the Capital district. What you see there is the Obelisk of Prince Philip, below that is the Carinthia National Cemetery, The Reflecting Pond with a Statue of King Frederik I, and on the right and partially obscured by the bluish skyscraper, is the Queen Sophie Memorial (wife of Frederik I). Other buildings not shown in the photo will be uploaded tonight if I get a chance.

Collgab!  Hello!  Nice to see that you've finally decided to show yourself (haven't you been registered for over a month-and-a-half or something like that?).  And you came bearing gifts!  I love how your downtown showcases a lot of the odd-shaped BAT's, it really gives your CBD character.  I also like the placement of that WTC (I think that's what that's called at the end of the avenue).  I guess you're a fan of KS, then  ;)?  Great work!

Nice Collgab.  I especially like the inland beach.  Though I'm not sure why there'd be boats there (I understand kayaks, but I don't think it's big enough for sailboats) it's an interesting idea, and fits in that downtown.  I also like your use of HSR and the Make Your Own Sign kit (both of which I have yet to download &sly).  Overall, good job.

Thanks for the link, but that's not the one I was talking about.  I was talking about the one that's contained in a mid/high-rise.  Now that I've looked at it I think it might be another one of Vlakhaas's placed next to a mid/high-rise, but I still want to be sure. 

EDIT-Okay, it is.

I am not sure where to put this.  I think it could be a downtown, but it's really more of an "old town".  It's certainly not towering glass boxes or anything.  I should also note, there are more traditional CBDs in this city and region.

Here is a wider shot of part of the CBD area.  It spreads over into the adjacent cities, so it is somewhat cut off.

U3D, very nice picture.  A small downtown core, but one none the less.

iamgoingoteatyou, I love that picture.  How you made it dark and included a very heavily driven road and full height buildings with a very nice back drop.  This my friend is a perfect picture in my opinion.

Mikeaut1, Now that's a very dense downtown picture.  Everyting looks very uniform and realistic.  I like it, another very near perfect picture.

Mulefisk, Very cool 3d effect.

eljacko, two very nice pictures, great work.

To everyone who has been asking me how I made the pic, here's how I did it.
You probably need to know abit about photoshopping to understand this.

First i used free transform to make the pic smaller and give it kindof a 3d effect, then I used the clone stamp to take some of the grass from the pic and paint it at the top in the shape of mountains. For the clouds I just used a paintbrush. Then I used the burn tool on the mountains to give a shadowy effect. Finally a little Brightness/Contrast to give a last touch.

This probably isn't a great explanation but hopefully you'll understand some of it :P

That's a very well done mosaic, particularly for its following of the highway.  Although, aren't you wasting a lot of space with those blank spots near the highway?  Your city at times seems a little more spread out than it could be.

Ahh...well, the reason for that's actually getting into the farther outskirts of the main metro (getting into the suburbs), and from what I'm used to, the freeway usually has a lot of room around it out there.  As the zones get denser, the buildings get closer to it (and it becomes elevated).  I just wanted some open space somewhere in there, because open space seems to be too underrated.

Nexis, great pictures.  That area is going to look really nice when it's all done.

Thornton, great pictures also.  Very full and nice use of diagonal avenues.  Although there are a few small buildings I would blow up and place park tiles or something like that.

praiodan, great pictures again.  Very nicely laid out and I really like the curved avenue.  The way you did it, it looks like a long curve, if you know what I mean.  Great job.

Hmm.... Shadow, I personally would open it up more and work on some midrise to blend nicely into the 'burbs.

Anyway... Here's mine.

These first 3 are of a side project of mine on my first hand drawn map (it's on the STEX, search Brentwood). And the third pic is outdated but still pretty accurate of my actual project.

Flame1396, nice pictures. Especially a commercial district on the peninsula is well planned and looking very good.
Nuclear power plant? No problem, maybe it's our future and all of us will have a nice looking radiance around our heads and other organs. very cool for a downtown party.

Travis - your downtown i also very good. I like the space between buildings and on the seashore.

Iamgoingtoeatyou - you have very specific style, i like it very much (I saw some other pictures of you). Nice colors and details.

shoreman905: Your city looks very good, especially at night. I am impressed  &apls

You have a nice couple of buildings here, I see your taste is similar as mine (partially).

About CAM: I didn't try it yet. As I know, it gives amazing possibilities, not only growing great skyscrapers.
But I think some people will still plop some BATs because of planning requirements.

Some problems:
1. What to do with groups of identical buildings?
2. How to control growth to have what you want? Most of these buildings are BATs, you can't use NoMaxis plugin. Many of them have the same zot size.

Anyway, outstanding work!  :thumbsup:

Thank you, Ennedi, CAM has not been released as yet. We are still in the testing and tweaking phase. The assignment here was to grow as many of the new high stage CAM buildings as we could to observe the demand rates. So, not as much care went into the layout. Besides, we are restricted in this test to Maxis growables and ploppables only (you know hospitals, schools, untilities etc ). Go to BSC creations and the CAM development thread and read some of the reports and comments, JMyers has been very successful in the control area. I just threw them up for this and thought the group might be interested in a few views. The nightlighting is spectacular, particularly  dusk when the lights come on slowly to reveal all the colors.

I'll start with a side project, this is Brentwood, I like its CBD better than the one of my main city. But I cant bear to throw away 1300 years of West Derry  :o ZOMFG!!! (No kidding)

Here is the Brentwood CBD..... enjoy. (BTW, I made this map and it is on ST, search for Brentwood)

My favorite park is the Rail island (though the only pic I have that's a .jpg is not focused on it), 2 hours of work in there.

The nuke is going to be replaced by a BAT, not descriptive because I have NO CLUE what i'll use.  :D

Now we're off to West Derry (where the main tile is about a third full and at year 723, the other 2 tiles in the region make it 1300 years)

Ennedi,  I have just spent the last ten minutes staring at your pictures.  Great work, I really like everything, except one thing.  If you don't mind, I would like to suggest you look into a sidewalk modd.  Maye jeronij's, I hate the red sidewalks.  Just my opinion, but I think it would make already near perfect pictures, perfect pictures. ;)

Downtown of Tigropoli is the largest in Qaddro, so I decided show this old mosaic from there. And I'm also little bored.

Title: Re: Show us your Downtowns & CBD's!
Post by: Ennedi on July 27, 2007, 01:27:32 AM
Bengt, the mosaic is great, but I must say your previous picture (Downtown of Tigropoli) is my favourite  :thumbsup:
(Btw, where did you get these 1x1 cubes from - are they busstops?)

Very few people think not only about separate skyscrapers, but also about skyline  :)

I like your mosaic, but there is very little traffic here and this place looks like very busy commercial district. Sunday morning?  ;)
The GLR and underground station looks very good. Also busstops and avenue divider fits well here.

But about other avenues - if I would build such place, I would leave a bit more space between buildings and avenues (not in every place of course; maybe I would use Ped Mall tiles wchich enable an access to commercial buildings) and put into this space some little objects - kiosks, lateral parkings, maybe sunken park plazas - stairs for this set are great to make an underpass under avenue (eye candy only). Of course it's only my personal opinion - it seems your taste is different from mine  :)


Title: Re: Show us your Downtowns & CBD's!
Post by: Krio on July 27, 2007, 03:40:12 AM
Ennedi: those 1x1 cubes are XDesign's subway stations, I find them really good when making "lines"  ;D There is traffic in avenue, but most of people in my cities use trams or subways, usually stations are full and there is station near every skyscraper  ;D I think too much open space in the middle of skyscrapers looks stupid, towers just stand there and Ronja is 400 year old city, mainly W2W so limited space to build towers  :P

Great stuff, everyone.  Seahawk Fan's stuff reminds me a but of Dubai in how the skyscrapers just end and the land suddenly becomes unused.  Seriously consider creating sunken highways (search for the Hole Digger Lots on the STEX if you don't have them) and creating your own homebrew interchanges - small details like that make cities infinitely more realistic.

Dark Jedi: Wow, I really like the way the town transitions from the w2w and other older buildings into the larger, "newer" looking buildings in the city center.  Really striking.

Travis:  Like the use of the underground parking, and the mayor statue lit up in the background of the second pic is a nice touch.

Iamgoingtoeatyou:  Great layout, I always like to see what you do with your cities.

Pytkowski:  Nice layout on your town as well, but I particularly like the selection of buildings, really give the city it's own character.

Actually, they don't look that bad. The only true problem with them is the image compression, and that's not your fault. If you don't have a better program, I'd suggest downloading the GIMP. Far better compression than Paint and also free.

But the city itself is looking nice.

Awesome pictures, sithlrd98!  The colors shine, and it makes the rest of your city really mysterious...just buildings rising out of the darkness.

Bengt, that's a very cool picture because of all the open spaces.  The wide GLR track and the big plazas are really nice, I think.

Well...I have a few pictures to show of a suburban downtown I just made:

excellent cities there squidi! :) your lots are very impressive! &apls
question: how in the world did you do those monorail lots on the bottom of those pictures? they look insane! :o
Title: Re: Show us your Downtowns & CBD's!
Post by: squidi on October 15, 2007, 01:41:00 AM
the monorail lots r TE lots and i used the sc4tool for it but it seems i used the wrong railing props cos they have no shadows :(
over the road i draw an ordinary monorail to connect the TE lots than u will c no pavement under the rail for this i open the lot again and resize them
with the road texture how i learnd it from badsim for under bridg textures
with this i used the space under the monorail for things like a library a museum ar plazas so its usefull and looks nice

All the pictures in this thread look awesome!  I especially love ussagus and Alkaola's pictures; those are what I hope my main CBD might resemble whenever I get to it!  Rushman5, that's also a really interesting area you've created.  The haphazard planning with streets and roads going every which way I think really gives it a lot of voice...and those diagonal parking lots are awesome!

Ahh...I have some to share (note that this is not the main CBD of the region):

Chiefly Tower (the tall brownish one) really adds character to this area, I think:

Squidi, can you please try to use less chat speak when posting in these forums please. Many of our members do not speak perfect english and may find it hard to decipher the meaning of all the slang terms. As stated in the site rules:

QuoteUse correct and not slang language when you post to this site.  While "chat" terms are not barred outright, please stick to the more common ones, such as "btw" (by the way) and "IMHO" (in my humble opinion), and only use them occasionally.

Thanks,
Fred

EDIT: SimJesse: Those tunnels were beta relases by buddybud before his computer crashed an he lost his work. They can be found here (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=37&threadid=64741&STARTPAGE=25), abut half way down the page.

Ah... I was wondering how you were able to use the signs for the elevated highway... The ones I have are only good for the ground highways...

Still, your road TE lots look amazing!  Excellent job!

@squdi: excellent pictures, especially the first, second and third ones :thumbsup: An idea with making TE Gare du Nord Alley textures is really great, but you have some more interesting things here, this brown plaza looks really good! Maybe we should ask you for releasing some of your stuff? :)

@batmans: your downtown is not such modest, it looks very good! A few great skyscrapers, the rest of buildings also very good (although a bit chaotic, but it's only my opinion :)), I like your arrangement of free spaces between buildings :thumbsup:
One suggestion: the tiled space between skyscrapers looks very clean, but a bit empty. Maybe you would want to make a bit more diversified - there are some stuff using the same base texture, for example Marrast (?) avenue dividers. Also some parkings would be good - they would make this area more colourful :)
Anyway, very good work - you are new here, we warm welcome you at SC4D!

@iamgoingtoeatyou: If you wouldn't sign this picture, I wold be sure it's your work! :D :thumbsup:
Great mosaic and great work, my mood always goes better when I see your pictures (maybe because of joyful colors, or general atmosphere?)

Awesome mosaic!  One thing I really like about it is the subtlety of the glare effect on that 'scraper.  A lot of people tend to overdo it, and it actually takes the focus away from the other good parts of the picture, but here it's noticeable without drawing too much attention to it, so I can actually pay attention to the rest of the mosaic, which is a good thing, because as I said, it's an awesome mosaic!

Hi, all!  First time poster, long time lurker.  Everyone's cities look so wonderful.  Lots of inspiration here.  :)

My humble submission is this mosaic of my region's capital city, Westerwald, from the inner suburbs at top to the high-rise CBD at lower left and the old city at lower right.  City population is just over 200,000, with a region pop of about 2.5 mil.

And what a great humble submission it was Gusterfell.  Westerwald is a very tidy-looking city and I love the way you laid out your street grid, very nice.  Have you ever thought of doing an MD with this region?  I'd like to see more of Westerwald. 
Title: Re: Show us your Downtowns & CBD's!
Post by: Gusterfell on December 08, 2007, 08:27:18 PM
^Thanks!  I've always thought doing an MD would be fun, if I can find the time.  Maybe over this winter, when things shoud be slower at work.

In any case, I'll definitely share more pics of this and other cities.   :)

Old Downtown Aurora

The CBD of Aurora

~ Dan

Great work. Do I see one-tile end lots for those modified Marrast Dividers there? Are those available anywhere? The lack of such a lot has been killing me (I also happen to be using a tweaked version of the Sandstone Sidewalk mod and have already changed the textures on the dividers).

Yes they are one-tile lots, but sadly, they are not found anywhere on the LEX or STEX. I just modified them in the Lot Editor to fit on a one-tile lot.

frdrcklim: He uses Lot Editor to make custom lots that include overhanging textures that create the sidewalks on the curved roads.  Unfortunately, they aren't available for download, but if you had LE and wanted to make them for your own personal use, I don't think that they would be hard to make.

I just cycled through the puzzle pieces for road and rotated them until they fit. Itll be a lot easier if the NAM made diagonal onslope pieces so i can put diagonal bridges over a sunken highway

Mizral: might I suggest using .jpg in future? just that your picture took FOREVER to load on my connection. Up to about 90% quality JPGs you hardly notice the difference (I'm going by GIMPs compression here). Otherwise, not a bad picture, though personally I'd prefer a slightly wider view. tankmank's pictures are a good example of how a higher quality JPG image comes out.

There's still a slight "hole" in the middle, but so far, the city only had about 250,000 residents. Recently, I've brought up the number to about 400,000 (new low wealth sims in order to get a nice R-$ highrise quarter), and since there's still quite some RES demand left, I expect a raise in COM demand soon as well. I'm also glad that there are at least 10 new commercial BATs that never grew for me so far (mainly because I didn't play a lot lately, though ;) ). I created a growable CO-$$$ lot for ks_JPN's "Worldwide Plaza", so this one has grown as well (nothing is plopped here, except the civic lots).

Great stuff, Warszawa. Which leads me to a question: in the last pic, those waterfront buildings (2 on stilts, and the long thingammagig on the right): are they yours? Are they released somewhere??  &apls

Thanks HandsOn :). And for your question, the BATs are definately not mine, they are from a different site, it was either this site of one of the Japenese sites... Sorry if I can't help you that much my friend &mmm, but I'm sure someone else will know ;).

That was a nice CBD. Fairly good amount of buildings which I think is nice and I think size is realistic too. CBDs don't have to be monster sky scrapers you know.

In case anyone's interested: the thingy sticking out into the water in the top right corner on Warszawa's last pic is Goldiva's Watertaxi, found on the STEX (when I want something I am persistent to a fault  :-[ - and the two buildings on stilts are actually a railway station from a Japanes site - forgot which one, though, sorry..  &mmm

Beautiful pictures mongoose!  :thumbsup: There is something interesting on each of them:
- Very nice use of CSX props in the centre of Raised Parks on the first picture;
- Diagonal parkings on the second one, I like also the arrangement of the sunken shopping center! &apls
- Very good use of RHW and HSRP on the third one. The green-pink appartments building looks fantastic in this place!~
And very good graphic presentation of all pictures
Very good work!

A thriving city center. Just up North of it (just a little above this town) is the regional capital. It's no longer a small town, but population is somewhere above 10,000. I have a recent picture but I'm going to show it some other time as I seem to be not satisfied to be showing it yet.

Well, here's one of my cities. It's a smallish town, and the tall buildings keep popping up in the wrong places, but I think it has it's charms. This is mid-renovation, too, heh.

The white facade at the left looks excellent, others are a little bit too blurry. The avenue looks very good, maybe it could be very little sharper?
Blur filters can add much realism to sc4 pictures, but thy should be used in a very subtle way. My advice is similar to what you can read in professional Photoshop tutorials or books: Gaussian Blur gives best effects, sometimes it is good to use Gaussian Blur and then emphasize some edges (very subtle!) using Unsharp Mask, with the same radius in both filters. I don't know which graphic program do you use, but you can find Gaussian Blur in most of them (or in all of them). Unsharp Mask is a Photoshop tool, I don't know how is it called in other programs.

The lens flare is nice but it could be a bit less aggressive.

As for the picture itself - very nice composition, I like it!  :thumbsup:
I don't see anything to change, maybe there could be more people props and small details along sidewalks (Kelis' Hong Kong is a good example).

New Amsterdam is looking wonderful there, Seahawk! I love how you've put smaller mid-rise buildings in between the larger ones. It makes for a much more aesthetically pleasing image.

Although large CBD's are usually my style, I may try doing something like this in the near future... ::)

This is the main commercial area in the region i'm working on. It doesn't look too swanky now, but it will! I also need to fill in some open areas and finish up City Hall Park, and some terraforming needs to be done in obvious places.

Wow, caspar! That's possibly one of the best pictures I've seen from you! My suggestion would be to add a few more commercial business before you get into your famous (and gorgeous!) green suburbs. But then again, the image would lose its feel if you did that. So, I guess what I'm saying is that the next downtown you make, add just a few more businesses surrounding the downtown core. Fantastic job though!

The_Hutt:  That train station looks great, especially at night.  The night lights really do add to the atmosphere.  As for the reflection, I assume it is a full moon night.

Speaking of night lights...

iamgoingtoeatyou: You have used buildings that appear as though one can actually look inside.  This is one of those things that can make SC4 that much more realistic.  Of course, the rest of the pic is also quite brilliant.

I just finished this one up last night. Well, not finished...not even close! I'm still planning to change all the building's base texture's to sandstone, and switch a few Maxis trees to some nice Jeroni or Cycledogg ones. But, for the most part, it's done for now. :)

guys, im pretty sure mongoose has a patchwork of transit enabled lots that probably use the traffic generator as his building.  Its a fantastic idea, but i never had the patience to make 25 64x64 lots that align perfectly.  But mongoose has a made an epic montage of french-style pics that deserves its own thread.

how does everyone get those nice clean snapshots, where it's not so pixilated?  i just use the print screen button then paste it to Paint then load them on to photobucket
Title: Re: Show us your Downtowns & CBD's!
Post by: sumwonyuno on February 04, 2009, 07:15:17 PM
Photobucket scales down your image if it's dimensions are larger than a certain size.  So if you're playing at a higher resolution and just uploading the images straight, Photobucket does that behavior automatically, and results in a somewhat pixelated image.  You can crop your images before you upload, or use another service (e.g. Imageshack, though it has a file size limit per upload).

On the 5th picture the rail bridge is a landbridge, or was made of puzzel pieces, or a custom download?
Otherwise very nice pics

Decided to pick up SC4 again after a near year-long break from city building... Rebuilding the plug-ins folder is a pain.

Here's a work in progress:

Magee_b, that's almost like the city I want to build ::).

-Not that densely populated
-Beside a body of water like a river or coast
-The lots are growable

Those three are what I'm really trying to work on.

Here are two pictures from a CJ I've been working on forever, Acacia.

These are from Lunsford City, the second-largest city in the Acacia region, which is located right across the river from the titular city (Acacia's CBD hasn't been built yet, so I have no pictures of it).

after register in http://www.simcitypolska.pl (http://www.simcitypolska.pl) you can download the sc4lot and readme files at that link.
but you must find the dependency--"TG MEGA Props - Krio Vol01.dat"by youself...
cuz there must be some misunderstanding between krio and ripplejet----i don't know what happened &cry2 just read this in the readme file.

mrdazza: Very nice work! It's a very interesting city. It looks like some hybrid city with influences from across the world (though my guesses for the major influences in there would be Europe and Australia - the inner suburbs look more European than Australian, but the very sudden falling away of the skyline is very much an Australian thing). The riverfront area is a little Melbourne-ish, as is the balance of the skyline with the two "clusters" of towers.

I like though that despite the clear influences, it doesn't *quite* look like anywhere in particular.

In addition, the area south of the river sorta reminds me of what Southbank was like before Eureka, at least by the way the towers there are clustered.

... Alternately it could just be me overanalysing what I see. Regardless, keep up the good work!

Post by: mrdazza_460 on August 05, 2009, 11:08:59 PM
Cammo2003 : you have a very keen eye, the city is very much based on Melbourne, probably because I have given up in trying to make Melbourne, every time I do it end up looking crap so I just made a hybrid.
As for the sky line dropping away I have found it hard to find lots that are medium size (that are any good) the size is normally very tall or very small. But thank you for you nice comment

Also thank you every one for all the nice comments as well

Thanks...I have been messing with this city for over a year , and it looks like I have just started it  ;D
My main problem always is , when I plop something or grow a cool building , or lay a road...I look at the surroundings , save and then spend more time tweaking than actually playing. I actually played for an hour today...of course I stopped a couple of times and went back to tweaking stuff I just plopped! :D

Great downtowns, guys!

I only built cities to test my remodded/relotted stuff for months, I broke my CD, stupidly deleted my old cities, and it took weeks to realise that my new copy is an LH version of the game - which made my RH NAM networks almost completely useless :D  But finally, I started playing 'real' again.

Downtown shots of Nagauli-Khelarun, an industrial city (117K I jobs), my concept is very simple here: concrete jungle, with as many bulky boxes, as possible, and no plops

I love the sculpting that people do with their cities.

I am thinking of starting a CJ, but first, I want to show some of the best pictures I have. Now, my pictures aren't of beautifully, prefectly sculpted cities, but one in which all of the cities in the region are on extremely tight budgets, with limited resources. Some cities are just a sprawling mass of low-wealth, medium highrise residential, and others are high-wealth, with medium density housing. I'll give you a few examples here, and hoepfulle get some feedback on whether or not it would be worth my time posting a CJ. But mostly, I want to try out this new MJ editor. I'll give two pictures, for now, of a city that is by far not nearly the most developed, nor even anywhere close to being the best pictures I have

1 more thing:

All of my cities have a rich history of periods of rapid growth, intersperced with major economic decline. I do have a TON of custom content in my plugins folder, but have not really used custom content very heavily throughout my city, due to the extremely limited funds.

Anyway, here we go:

A couple of teasers of South Williamsport. This is the "redlight" district of the region. It is a city that is traditionally known as the Las Vegas, or Atlantic City of the region.

Photo number 1 is a wide-area shot, looking directly south. Williamsport, which is to the north of South Side, is on the other side of the river at bottom, where the bridge connects the two cities, making it the only connection across the bay from the buisness district. There are three other cities that are "stranded" from the mainland along with South Side.

Second photo of south side, is the sports complex.

Lemme know if anyone is interested in seing me start a CJ, and explaining a history of my cities, the drama, the ecomic ups and downs, and so forth. I have a total of  13 or 14 or so cities, with Williamsport to be the main business district, and Duboisetown as a high-density residential urban jungle, Loyalsock, East Beach, and 1 other city as the touristy beach-type cities, and 1 industrial powerhouse. Can't think of the name I gave that city off the top of my head.

This is on the edge of Williamsport's downtown. Williamsport is the main CBD of the region. I like playing a city with realism. This is reminscent of many of the major east-coast American cities, with all of the problems associated, including limited funds. The city has to strike a balance between good, expensive amenities, and turning a profit from taxes.

I've started working on Ukelele Bottom, which was mentioned in one Spongebob Episode but was never shown. The city likes to be casual, so that explains so many of the Brown Camden Heights Towers.

As you know we're suffering some issues in our country now...and what maked things worse, the gov blocked the websites which "go against" them...
So,things go mess... we can't see your pitctures linked from Imageshack, we can't watch your videos from youtube, and the facebook,either....

You've got any right to complain! It's a waste of both time and money from the Chinese Government - there's no way you can control the information flow on the internet so why keep struggling? Hope things will be better in the future!

Anyways, I'm happy that my government doesn't block your pictures. They're simply magnificent! Have you ever been in Europe? In any case it's a rare sight to see SC4 pictures with such an European feel. My God you've got skills!!

As for your situation fighter_jingyu, I can imagine that you don't like the internet blockings (I personally don't see the point of having those), and I hope you can browse the internet freely as soon as possible. I would also like to know where I could find the El-Rail station seen in your pictures.

:P Thanks you all my dear friends~~that's very kind of you :'(
Someone asked for the El station.. you can find this building here (http://yaplog.jp/waldorf/category_11/),turn the page down and you will find it.

And..@RBC and others:It's a pity i have never been abroad %confuso...take a trip or studying abroad are just a dream far away from me :-[
But i love these old westen style buildings very much.
In my childhood, i lived in a soviet union style flat, children run around in the garden, neighbors enjoyed the cool under the tree... it was really a quite life..
ten more years later,as the development of the economy, skyscrapers grow up one by one, the so called"modern style"flats replaced the old ones, every person works under a heavy pressure and every family separates with others by an iron door...people struggling simply to the money and become unfriendly...
So i miss the passed time...it was a paradise indeed. the warmly and friendly people, these old houses, grey bricks, trees and lichen on the wall...
maybe i can only see them in this game :P

see... just like this quite and harmonious

@louistsw: That is an amazing mosaic! I like the way you terrace the city with Mas71's Walls.

@SteveMSim: Nice suburb, just one suggestion: try to make the infrastructure seem like there is no grid. Try making the residential areas have roundabouts as cul-de-sacs, like the one in the upper-right corner, and utilize diagonal roads and streets.

I think I'll post a few pics later :D

wow thanks you love that one ;)
but i must say some sorry to you:
@Haljackey & io_bg:
sorry to disappoint you, because that the texture of that interchange was a fake :-[
it was a photoshop magic..and it really killed a long time...

but actually once i had compared the Asphalt-Highway-Textures.dat with the newer version Textures_Asph_2.dat in reader,
and... to tell the truth, i have no patience at all to make a update of the asphalt texture for me :-[ although i really love the deep grey one...
so... i have to found another way to make the interchange suitable :D

and@WC_EEND:
well i'm terribly sorry about the low network condition..
as you know,it was a huge pic.. and i'm not a paying member of photobucket, the imageshack.us was not available in my location either.
so i can only upload it to skydrive.live.cn.
although slow, it's still available for us all :thumbsup:

and@canyonjumper:
thank you!! some new shot will be released very soon :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Since I had to completely restart my PC, every program was uninstalled (well, most programs), which means my city of California City with a population of over 1,500,000 people, is gone. But don't worry, I installed SC4 in my new laptop, and so far the Southern Skyscraper Forest is completed with a population of 701,000 (good start). Here's a picture. Also I'm predicting that the population for the city when it's finished is around 7,000,000. Again the name will be California City (it's location is between Los Angeles and San Fransisco). EDIT: Population now 836,000.

Hi wwvictory, welcome at SC4 Devotion! 
I saw your pictures in varius "Show us your..." threads. Yes, this is the best way for newcomers to present their work and get some feedback   :thumbsup:

I like most of your pics, some of them look really promisive. For example I like the first one, very good work with the greenery in the urban environment!
I see your are learning new techniques and looking for the new stuff. I have a few sugestions for you:

- The red brick sidewalk texture can be seen along roads at some places. This is the default Maxis texture appearing at high wealth lots. there are also different textures for middle and low wealth (although they aren't so different). It looks a bit strange and makes your sidewalk cluttered.
I'd like to suggest you to look at LEX and STEX for various Sidewalk Replacement Mods, there are a few of them. Type "Sidewalk" or "Sidewalk replacement" int the STEX search box and you should find something, searching in LEX is a bit more complicated but there are less stuff there, try to use Power Search.
Personally I use the SMP Asphalt Replacement Mod, it changes (unifies) sidewalk textures and also some lot textures. If you will not like asphalt texture everywhere, try something different.

- You have some triangular texture edges along diagonal roads (around the square pond at the third texture). You can avoid that pattern if you will use SFBT Diagonal Fillers, go to Simcity Plaza site and you will find them (the Download section is called Simcity Kurier). There are various combinations of diagonal fillers with or without alleys, fences etc., both for urban and rural environments.

- If you have some "No Road Access" or "No Job" icons and you want to make a nice photo, you can remove them by clicking Ctrl X and then type "tastyzots" in the window in top left corner of the screen. Then press Enter and icons will disappear (they will appear again when you will type this command again, or if you exit the city and open again)

Adam  :thumbsup:

I don't use this mod now, but I used it a long time. It has some optional files, I remember I also had some problems with removing unwanted default textures (till I didn't read the readme carefully  :D), but finally it worked well.

I'm a plop fiend. At least half these buildings were placed before I unpaused the game for the first time. 90% were plopped by the time I was done. But the sims liked it. Congestion is reasonable on Z low thanks to extensive mass transit, and no red at all since I switched to Z medium. The tile has 1.46 million Sims so far, and 800k commercial jobs; only 175k industrial since the tile next to it is a huge industrial zone/port complex.

not a great pic, but shows how spread out the CBD area is in my region of 270k is, pretty big region i plan a LOT more but, because of the way the city is designed (non-grid) this city has major traffic issues at only 150k ppl, a subway network was recently put in that helps quite a bit, but some of the neighbor connections are still fairly congested

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg175.imageshack.us%2Fimg175%2F9462%2Fsimcity4201007170659251.jpg&hash=31fa5ea4fc0ccec76f477200c3c430299cd4ca6d)

probably my favorite part of the CBD .. recently ive had a wave of co$$$ abandonment, im not quite sure why it says "abandoned due to no demand" but my demand is still positive, the main CBD area was around the stadium, but has since shifted to the west of the stadium and south of the tracks. Not quite sure what caused this either, all the buildings near the stadium abandoned due to demand, I demolished them to stimulate the demand, then they regrew as midrises, and built hi-rises over here, traffic was and still is bad near the old CBD and not over here, maybe this is the cause

Not bad, not bad at all. I like the transition from medium to high rise. You have not overdone it with skyscrapers. And the sunken highway is cool. There is a bit too much repetition with the smaller buidlings, though.
I suggest to place the park in the block below the hospital and left to the building under construction in the lower left corner of the pic. I would break the grid there and let it take up two blocks.

(... img here ...)

i'd go with 2 or 3 blocks just west of the hospital and the taller buildings and north of the avenue, maybe breaking the roads or maybe not. other option would be two parks west of the hospital, one north of the avenue and the other south of it, taking up 1 block each..  :-\

This is the same area I posted a few posts back, its grown quite a bit and has become the largest city in the region. It all used to be an industrial park but now all that remains is a small bit of manufacturing industry, and a large Spice factory that will probably be there for a long time to come

I like how the park is set back from the street with the wide sidewalk.  I always push my parks right up to the road... and it doesn't look right, but this looks great!

It's not set like this. Of course I want to see more people and cars. But after taking the photo, I found there were only a few cars and no people ()sad(), so I made the photo raining. No one wants to get out when it's raining cats and dogs, right?

All of them are plopped, because it's very difficult to grow them due to thier high GS, and it's hard to make them grow in the way you like, too. In fact, every single building in this city is lotted to make this city more realistic and, well, more "Green" because I added a lot of trees to those lots. You may see the parking lot at the left on the photo (under the yellow building)with a planter, that's an example.

Hi Travis
Thanks, that city is probably 90% grown.  Some buildings were plopped but most were grown.  Not sure where all the cars are but I think that picture was taken between rush hours so that might be why there are so few.

@zenith1107: That's one of SimGoober's buildings, and can be found in the smaller office buildings pack of his on the LEX.

You might want to try later though, because as I type, there seems to be a problem with the LEX.

Building a car-free city is a brilliant job. No cars, no smoke, no traffic, no problems :thumbsup:
However i see that you need some extra practice, because i can see plenty of abandonment buildings, including the multiple Smith Towers. Remember that residential buildings can't use the pedestrian mail, so you'll need to build some roads. Also i can see that your Sims has excellent skills in climbing ::) ;D

Glad you like it! Actually the towers are not abandoned, just they are lower wealth than when initially built, and therefore discolored. I have not strived for high wealth in this experiment, just in allowing the population to get to work easily without cars.

The residential buildings are facing short strips of street which terminate at subway stations as a transition to pedestrian malls on adjoining commercial blocks. There is unfortunately no workaround that I'm aware of for this use of streets, but fortunately, the Sims do not drive on them. In an earlier, smaller scale experiment using bus stops in place of subway stations, a very small number of Sims (1-2) drove to each bus stop (to work there?) but I do not observe this with subway stations.

And yes, the Sims are excellent stair climbers. Especially with the NAM Z simulator ;)

Could anybody advice another snowmod, because I would like to have a lcoser snow on the moutnain without terraforming.
And the new snowmod should be covering most parts from the mountain - mod.

I have got the snowcapped - mod now. If I have two or more snowmods, the game cannot load a town, it has got a a crash and Ill be on the desktop.
Is there such a snowmod everywhere available?

The diagonal complex should be HK Pacific Place found over on the STEX.

As for constructive criticism I could say a couple things. Though I'm not normally a huge fan of "skyscraper-villes" you've done a nice job with the style. I particularly like the plaza and wide avenues in front of the train station and that you've included a nice stadium, central rail terminus, and waterways. The biggest thing you could do to improve it is change the way you've done your seawalls--they will look much better if they rise just a bit above sea level. You could probably lower your shorelines (I'd recommend ~255m elevation) and then slope land up toward the normal elevation of your city, either covering with parks, or making a very gentle slope with the rail tool and covering the areas with slope-tolerant buildings (most can handle a very gentle slope without making ugly retaining walls show).

Keep up the good work  :thumbsup:

Here's a downtown shot of a city that I deleted.  Pop. was about 114,000

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg808.imageshack.us%2Fimg808%2F7466%2Forleanscountyjun3208129.png&hash=9b4039ab62ae33f08a6f56ee68651d7ecbeb57e0)

The city didn't turn out like I planned.  Since it is surrounded by water on 2 sides and on a low elevation, I was going for a Miami/ New Orleans/ sunbelt city mix with beaches, heavy industrial ports, canals, modern downtown buildings, and sprawling suburbs, etc.  I already started on that tile again and changed the terrain a bit.  I'm waiting for the next NAM-NWM-RHW before I continue on that tile (county) though.

The spacecraft (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/25312-martian-spaceport-ship/) needs hardware rendering, something that kills my game. So I prefer to leave this as it is. I guess that a funky spaceship is more interesting than a grey one ;D

The only building I lotted is the diagonal building at the bottom with the helicopter pad. The rest of the buildings were downloaded as is. I also lotted the grass/plaza tiles and I had to create a 1x1 CS$$ blank growable lot with a plaza base texture or else the bottom half of the diagonal avenue would have gotten a the grass overlay texture, giving a saw-tooth appearance.

Historic Downtown with Grand Central Station, the University, and Gov't Buildings. You can see the International Commerce Center to the West. This is the start to the International Business Expansion in Buffalo.

Paulm138, I would suggest doing something with your waterfront areas, such as industrial docks, it would make it look much better. Other than that, that's a nice CBD you have there, and good use of the RHW too. :)

All my downtown areas are called Denver, and have the Denver Republic Plaza in them. This is a new city I've made with a riving flowing through it. On the East bank is the CBD while the West bank (Jefferson) is the residential area with strict building policies on high rises, hence the low lining skyline on the Western half.

To be honest a lot of this one was plopped. There was however a lot of demolition. When you see a building you like, you can make it historic so nothing replaces it.

Here's a pic of that downtown area at night:

I'm not sure that this is the correct thread to showcase this part of my city. This is the central business district of Waldman, an inner-ring suburb of a larger city that I'm creating. In the early 1800s, Waldman was developing as its own city, but as its coastal neighbor grew, it eventually became surrounded by suburbs and became known as one itself.


(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv478%2FSutkowij%2FWaldmanI.jpg&hash=33f75ea42a59b7a190bc9c431880554a8696373f)

You can see the older buildings of the downtown area on the upper (eastern) part of the picture. Old brick buildings and warehouses dominated the skyline. The city had originally been a manufacturing hub, but now has a more diverse economy - or at least it's trying to create one. The eastern side of downtown has languished over the last 30 years. Recently though, there has been a resurgence of investment just west of downtown. A new el-rail station was built and surrounded with transit-oriented-development with mixed-uses and a needed influx of new residents.

The second picture provides us with a different view of the older part of downtown Waldman. The railroad tracks still exist, but a lot of the factories from the early 1900s through the `20s are gone. The housing towards the bottom of the picture is all older stock and that neighborhood suffers from a high foreclosure rate and plummeting home values.

This final photo shows us a zoomed in view of the northern side of the older downtown. The five story red brick building on the bottom of the page is an extension center for the state college found ten miles to the north. The university's investment in downtown has stimulated growth. That development and the adjacent apartments are the furthest out of the new transit-oriented-development mentioned with the first picture.

Backstories may be hard for some to come up with, and many simply like to take pictures and post really

I try to come up with backstories for some of my pictures when I take em(I have a good one for a picture I recently took with a gas station completely surrounded by stage 14 and 15 skyscrapers), and when I saw that, I immediately made that gas station historical.  The real reason why the gas station grew was because I didn't like the fact that I had 3 of the same buildings in a row so I bulldozed two of em and the middle lot came up the gas station while the other was a different skyscraper, but I came up with a good back story to explain it being there if I do post the picture though

I agree though, backstories can make a picture better though, which is why I try to come up with something, but for others I can see why they don't though

My creating a backstory is as much for my entertainment as it is for yours. And I also do what you did for the gas station. Some of the things in my picture may seem illogical, I try to give a justification for them. Thanks for the first comment. All of the infrastructure improvements over the past couple years have made it a joy to build cities. The credit for all of our cities should go to the creators.

Thanks, The smaller downtowns are so much fun to build. I love the creativity, attention to detail and understanding of the historical history needed to really nail it. Sometimes I think they turn out right, sometimes they don't - the beauty of this program is that all I have to do, is try again.

Thanks, The smaller downtowns are so much fun to build. I love the creativity, attention to detail and understanding of the historical history needed to really nail it. Sometimes I think they turn out right, sometimes they don't - the beauty of this program is that all I have to do, is try again.

that and have the bulldozer on standby to destroy buildings you don't like  :)

Here is a small section of my current CBD.   The blank area's are because I recently went on a bulldozing spree and got rid of duplicate buildings(I don't like to plop buildings, rather they grow)

Theres the gas station mentioned earlier, where old man Wheeler used to own all the land way back when the town was founded and as the city grew, he became richer by selling off huge chunks of his land to developers.  The city council reluctantly allowed him to construct a gas station on his property, along with a wireless store across the street back in the year 15(simcity years), and the main reason was because he had donated some of his money he made selling land to developers to build the highway interchange that for 50 years, was the only bridge over the highway and only interchange in the city, because the city was always running in the red(mass transit kills a city budget), but over time as the CBD grew and grew, eventually the gas station was across the street from where huge corporations wanted to build skyscrapers.  He refused to sell his station and wireless store when its supplanting his income with the high gas prices.  The city has tried everything to get him to sell the 90 yr old gas station, first by limiting flammable semi traffic to the avenue only during the hours of 7am-9am Monday through Friday, other semi traffic is ok, then trying to use eminent domain to the the gas station and wireless store "for public use" in the year 30, the Starfleet Supreme Court ruled in year 31 that the city cannot take the properties because the "public use" aspect is not valid to build more skyscrappers, and in the year 99, the city started court proceedings again to use eminent domain to take those buildings because they want to widen the avenue and old man wheeler is the lone holdout on the money the city is offering the businesses who would be inconvenienced and tore down when the city widens the avenue to a 7 lane TLA.  The city council and mayor is justifying it by saying that the traffic flow is horrible in that area and the widening of the road is necessary, but old man Wheeler claims the traffic issues are caused because the city refuses to force the railroad to elevate its rail lines and to expand the sidestreets to higher capacities, like making the 3 lane one way a 5 lane one way.  The Starfleet Supreme Court is currently trying to decide the case, but so far, public opinion favors Old Man Wheeler, as they are sick of the corporations getting huge tax breaks year after year and refuse to hire anyone because their profit margins have dropped due to the economic conditions.

@ DamienM23 - Very nice! I really enjoy the use of those seawalls as regular retaining walls. The choice of bats is also quite nice. Some transit details (wide-radius cures and TuLEPs) would make it even better. Did you know you can use the on-slope "T" light rail piece right next to the RHW? It starts with a street piece there but you can drag other networks in the street's place. That would let you avoid the big "dent" in the wall. A shame the area is lost as it's really neat.  &mmm

Due to my compulsive zoning habits, my region does not have a defined "downtown" area. Instead, I will present images of the commerce district in Silborough, a city in the south-eastern corner of my skyscraper-crammed Genesis region. Silborough lies on the perimeter of the region and is bordered by an industry-biased city and a residential-biased city, so the resulting demand for commercial development gave Silborough the largest and most densely packed commerce district in this particular part of the region.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg710.imageshack.us%2Fimg710%2F8757%2Fsilborough1.jpg&hash=67070eb32eeedc43b052fce87f10ff9df91fd826)
At the northern edge are several large towers created by the NDEX team and Scotty with a large mall to the left.

Near the center of the district are more NDEX towers and two large shopping centers. The large parking structure is meant to be connected with the PanPacific Tower.

At the south-eastern corner are several Maxis buildings. I confess that I had to plop these because the game was causing the excessive CO demand to back up. The two default landmarks are place holders to prevent the area from looking empty.

Moving a little bit north from the last shot, NDEX towers dominate with their incredible CO capacities. Filling in this area with a functioning (but rarely used) tunnel portal was too similar to a jigsaw puzzle.

Moving further north, two super resorts come into view to help alleviate the CS$$$ demand. The Pacifica Palm and Miami Palm towers worked perfectly for this area, and I found the perfect road layout for it!

Nearing the north-eastern corner, we pass a major CS$$$ provider and move into an area where Scotty's box towers are crammed in as tight as possible with HKBAT team's neon-clad waterfront towers.

The next three are from a different angle...

Here are the two super-CS$$$-resorts in the same shot. I am very pleased with how I was able to place these towers, as well as NYCC's Jackson Tower and Amethyst Hotel. They were really needed here.

HKBAT team towers make up a very well-lit waterfront, while Scotty's box towers carry the bulk of the CO$$ jobs behind them. In Silborough, I have used commercial buildings from MANY content makers, so excellent credit to all of them! :thumbsup:

I apologize that I could not get any shots from a farther zoom level. After no fewer than eight tries and eight crashes, I have merely given up trying.

It might pay to be a bit careful doing that ... someone over at SimPeg does the same thing and they end up with immortal lots and odd queries (they are a MAC player) so it might not have the same effect on you

This is Feringinar:
I built the airport as far away from the downtown area on an island, and the traffic going to turned blood red once the city took off so I ended up burying it, but I had development along the road, so when I buried it, I put another road on top of it from the tunnel entrance to tunnel exit.  Farther down the road, there is actually another tunnel over the other tunnel on the old and new airport roads.  I loathe the Coit tower, bu in this case, it actually fit so I allowed that one to remain  :)

Here's 2/3 of my downtown. Each city has so far been run for 48 years, and the third (will be to the left) only has some road put down so far. I'll have the roadwork set up so that there won't be any eternal commuters.
[img=http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Shortsonfire79/SC4/two_cities.png]

I'm really pleased with how this has turned out so far. :D  The third (to the left) segment of the downtown will have a few more custom stadiums (currently the Maxis major and minor league stadiums are present) as well as a large(ish) park. :)

To Kuewr665 i plopped them all, but if u place a ped mall tile over them they dont dilapitate and the population doesnt go down!.. so you have realistic looking figures too...

It might pay to be a bit careful doing that ... someone over at SimPeg does the same thing and they end up with immortal lots and odd queries (they are a MAC player) so it might not have the same effect on you

Hey.... This is a cheat, obviously, but if you are interested in just good looks and don't care too much for perfection of game balance.... Like me. Then it could be interesting to understand this line of text. What is meant by place a ped mall over them? If I plop a ped mall onto the lot the house is destroyed, right? Or do you mean; place a ped mall next to it, in front, I guess? But I see streets and roads. So obviously I am misunderstanding. What is it that I need to do?

Actually, these pictures have minimal effects added to them. With the use of darknite, all I really need to do was to add some cloud effects and reduce the saturation to give it a more smooth and ominous atmosphere. And if need be, add graphics like the "Pyrocorp" logos on the Lomonsov University I used as an HQ to personalize the image to my CJ/MD :P

Hey, Huston (Republic), I've been wondering and I don't think I've found an answer elsewhere, but assuming you didn't modify the base lot of Lomonsov University, does it directly replace the University & Library etc. reward lots, or is it just a mutually exclusive reward? I haven't installed it yet for fear of a plugin conflict with my existing cities and laziness (I guess; I don't really use test regions).

(And I think I commented on these images over on your CJ, though I'll have to double check and make sure I did. They look very...moody atmospheric)

As far as I know, it's exclusively a reward and doesn't by default replace the Maxis University and editing it is virtually impossible since I can't save the new lot as a new file (it's disabled in LE). But I'm not fully sure, I haven't really run into any problems with it and since its practically three separate complexes it wouldn't be able to replace anything on its own.

Good job guys, I like the downtowns that look more realistic myself, not a big cluster of tall buildings packed as tightly as possible. Some spaces in the middle of some of them either with smaller buildings, parks, parking lots, or something else. However; to each their own.

Here is my little share., I have trouble getting them post on here so I use links, sorry.

When you make a post, there is a set of buttons above the window you type into. The second from the right on the bottom row (looks to me like a weird set of binoculars, but it is supposed to look like a picture) will put direct link brackets into your post that looke like (img)(/img) with square brackets instead of round.
Just paste the link to where you host the image (eg PhotoBucket) in between and it will appear

My current project. This is the buisness district for a half built city with a projected population nearing 1 million sims. The northern third is Downtown, the middle third Midtown. The rest is out of view. I kinda messed up the timing with the fountains but they were put there as celebration of the 100th year of the city (I took the shot in the 100th SC4 year for this tile).

Great scene!  &apls

How did you manage to get only a few, old-timey cars on the streets? It really adds to the atmosphere!  :thumbsup:

Thanks!  As for the cars, it was a little bit of luck (taking the picture when there was a good variety of the old cars driving around) and a bit of photoshop touch up (removing a few of the undesirable cars, and duplicating a few of the ones I liked).   ()stsfd()
