This update was splendid. The amount of work with the MMPs and the hillside development was beautiful. The Villas along the shore with the stones walls were quite a good touch. In the last couple pictures, the underground mall is excellent too!

[swordstalker2008]

Beautiful. Makes me want to play SC4 again. 

[11241036]

Wow. A very nice selection of buildings, great MMP work and daring building at slopes Very good work again!

[belfastsocrates]

That was wonderful! I love the beach side luxury homes and the marina area. The various lighthouses are particularly wonderful.

There's a lot of a work in those image and it's great to see. A few of the buildings I haven't seen before, a really nice selection and variety.

[weixc812]

Great work, my friend. We haven't seen such dedicated seaside resort for long! It recalls me of the days in Gold Coast, Australia last year.

I have a little request though, could you tell me where can I download the retaining walls by Bipin in the picture?

@ art128, swordstalker2008, 11241036, belfastsocrates :
Thanks you very much for the nice comments ! 

@ weixc812 : it's so nice to have comment from a legend. To answer your question : the retaining wall by bipin was joined as a "test file" to his tread here on SC4D page 6 and on simpeg.
But, sadly the links seems to be deads in both cases 

[eugenelavery]

Some great work here, particularly the lotting and use of the Seine river walls. An old trick I have used myself many times.

[Themistokles]

The city, the nature, the sea, all join in fabulousness! I can only sit back and admire it all

[Bipin]

As is customary when I come across these things, thank you for using my BATs in your work! I love what you've done with creatively integrating them into your own waterfront. It is for such reasons that I make BATs; when people use something I've built in their own creative manner.  I'm also glad this led me to discover your wonderful CJ. The work here is simply great!

For those interested, the walls can be downloaded here:

Enjoy!

@ eugenelavery, Themistokles, Gugu3 :
Thanks you very much for the nice comments 

@ Bipin :
I'm really very flattering  .
I always appreciated a lot your work and  I'm sincerely happy that my use pleases you.
A good opportunity to say that these wall are magnificent at day and absolutly fabulous at night. Same for your little planter,trully perfect and so unique ! 
Your work is a real source of inspiration and I hope that you will offer us other marvels soon.

So, it's time for a new update, again with some play with MMP and Xannepans' effects on water. Now, it's all about creeks, river and lake shore

                                                            Update 5 : Something in the water........

72. First, some lake shore in the middle of no where


73. Again lake shore but on a residential suburbs


74. Closer, it's funny to see this man in suit making a jump to avoid getting wet his feet


75. Some torrent tumbling down a hill in a subtropical environment


76. another angle


77. Swampy jonction beetween 2 little rivers


78. This river it's not far from a big city, so municipality has create a walk following the river, use by many cyclist during summer.


79. Some hundred meters more downstream, there is a good place to fishing but only on sundays when there is less trafic on the monorail line....!


80. A small resort below a small town built in a sloping hill, front of a lake.


81. Same from the lake shore


82. Some tropical mangrove swamp close to the road


83. little channel with brackish water close to some industrial development.


84. same channel flowing into the sea


85. Again some lake shore in a little town


86. Same another angle


87. A closer view of a channeled river ( already seen on Update 2 ) which crosses an urban district. The medevieval old building and his modern extension act as a museum in my city and the little place along a river is a famous meeting point in the city.


88. A rainwater retention bassin near a residential area


89. A wild river make his way into forest and mountains, first wide........


90. ......then more narrow


91. before flowing into the sea on a beautiful bay update on 3th july 2016 same but old pic become mosaic
    <<<click on pic

92-93
And to finish, a strong river crosses some old town ( edit on 16th december 2016 > the 2 old pics are replaced by 1 mosaic )
    <<<click on pic

94. ....before begining more gentle a few hundred meters downtreams


95. and continue peacefully in a little town.


96.


I hope you like it 

[vortext]

Oh wow, the mmp detailing is superb! 

The swamp area especially is to my liking, and where did you find that neat little bridge?! However pic #87 is my absolute favorite in this update (which seem to get better and better btw, the marina & highrise previously were great as well).

All right, back to soaking in the details. 

[romualdillo]

You were right when you said that you like mixing different architectural styles , but it does work! I think it makes your pictures look so interesting! And the level of detail is amazing! Great work! 

[11241036]

Your MMP work is again outstanding. I wish I had the patience to do the same. Very good work with the swamp and with using different water types. Also nice transitions between different water types from time to time, for instance with the many rocks at p. 91. Might steal that concept

[manga rivotra]

@ romualdillo, 11241036 :
Thanks you for the very nice comments 

@ vortext :
the bridge is a prop from the great "Neko brook" set that you can found here :

[belfastsocrates]

Superb! You've inspired me to try some MMP river work, something I haven't tried before.

[art128]

Another set of fantastic pictures. The amount of MMP work in each of them is incredible.

[feyss]

Too much awesome pictures for one update. Fantastic job, I think I will take a look at every update now! 

[reddonquixote]

Another stunning update. I enjoy every picture, just like delightful little postcards
