Thanks for the 1st reply! They are as follows: Newman Inc Water Company, Large Water Tower Set by simgoober, Industry Pipeline Set by 1357924680. The two industrial buildings I'll have to get back to you on as I can't remember their names.
Wow! Great start and a gorgeous dam! :thumbsup:
Everything on those photos looks great. Keep Up the great work

Great start here, my friend! I love the hydro dam especially! I'll be looking forward to following along here!
That's a wonderful start!! Great work on the region! :thumbsup:
Great start.....the dam looks perfect and very realistic. Can't wait to see what you have for us next.
Robin ()stsfd()
Nice start. I like the region view and the dam. ;)
Wow! That lake is extremely big. Great job man. It's very good start.
Considering it's mostly Maxis buildings, wow. The custom content you do use is very well-used; the dam, especially, is impressive.
The industrial areas are extremely realistic. I typically find industrial hard to make realistic, so great work there!

A great start indeed! I am eager to see this one develop. The hydro dam looks very nice. This is a MD to watch! :thumbsup:

Wonderful new looking pictures! Great first update! :thumbsup:
Nice city growing there.
I like the new housing near the bypass. Nice road lay outs with space to breathe. I struggle to resist the temptation to fill in every gap, so well done.
Beautiful pics! I love the shopping and industrial area. Everything is nice ;)
The only thing I don't like are the trees. I hate those original maxis ones :P
Lexington Town Center and the surrounding suburbia's very impressive. I like how you group sprawl into subdevelopments, just like RL. It reminds me a lot of the suburbs twenty or so miles outside of Charlotte - there's so much open space yet all the houses in the subdevelopments are crammed into 1/4 acre lots.

bat - Thank you! Hope to have a larger one tomorrow.
paroch - Welcome! Funny you should mention the temptation to fill in every space. I do that all the time. Seems like I start a region with the intent of keeping things spaced better like in real cities but slowly I revert to type! Some areas should be tightly packed like downtowns and such, but much of todays communities are more spread out.
Pavle - Thanks for the comments. Yes, the Maxis trees can be somewhat monotonous, which is why I've interspaced with some of jeronij's trees. Sometimes I use the default grouping which includes a nice variety.
pickled_pig - It's the same here in Charleston, SC, though there is quite a bit of "in-fill" going on now.

yes i did amapper and im reworking my dam pic lol... I loved this update it was perfect i loved the last pic of farmington... - pat
I imagine you're going to show us development of the airport access road over time, from how you set up update 2. Great approach there - I believe you did that a lot on your ST CJs and it made them memorable.
I like how the airport's way out of town as opposed to right in the city or suburbs. It's pretty accurate considering the direction of modern development - outward.
See you around
-aaron
Welcome to page 2!
Wonderful new pictures, amapper! Great work on that airport! Also the others are great! :thumbsup:
Nice update there amapper.
I like the hotel with tennis park - look good together and I can imagine that set up near an airport like London Gatwick.
As for the airport - I don't remember ever seeing a RL airport with runways that cross but I know many MD'ers do this. Maybe our airports in the UK are small and uncomplicated but do US airports have runways that cross? (flying to Las Vegas next month so need to know whether to keep my eyes closed on landing ;) ). I'll need to put an airport in my MD soon - onlyhave Maxis airport so far. Where did you get your airport stuff? I know there are a few packs out there, so interested to hear your views on the pros and cons of the set you use - thanks.
Look forward to next update.
bat - Thanks, glad you are enjoying the MD so far.
paroch - Here is a list of the airport packs and lots I use.

rooker1 - Thanks for the visit. The first development is taking shape with more to follow. As the city/county grows there will be a major frieght terminal and an aircraft maintenance facility.
meinhosen - Thank you. One of the most important things that needs to be done is to add more residential areas to increase growth. That will enable larger scale things to happen. Also in the cards: one or two legs of interstate highways.

Fantastic update. I really like the residential area, very nice looking. I also like the way you did the bridges over the highway. That's how I do them, when ever I can. I think it's more realistic.

Nice updates there.
Your region is coming along very nicely.
I think there is a feeling of space about the place that gives a nice feel.

very realistic small town, i love it!
Beautiful residential areas and downtown! And I love the ploppable streams! Keep up the great work!
A wonderful looking town there! Also great pictures! :thumbsup:
Very nice update. But if could suggest that you move the rail over one square away from the peg pond, in pic one and two. This would get rid of those ugly jagged edges.

The residential area is catching my eye.... you managed it very well. The close up pic of the area is absolute one my favourites. I'd love to live there!
Nice update there.
Thanks for the distribution centre links - they do look good in game, although I had to plop them as couldn't get them to grow. I like your residential areas, particularly Woodlake's W2W roads.
Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

My wife and I spent a three day weekend in Lexington last fall when the horses were running at Keeneland. Are you going to try to recreate the rolling hills of the Kentucky countryside with all its horse farms? Lexington has a lot of tobacco warehousing and nearby fields. Corn crops for the nearby Bourbon industry are other things one could try to do.
Nice journal. I am surprised how green the Painted Desert mod looks. I'll have to give that mod a try.

jmyers2043 - Probably not as I am not sure how to duplicate the horse farms. Any ideas will be welcome. It seems as though the CP_DiagonalFix_Standard.dat file has to be there to give the consistent green of the grass.

Fantastic new pitures of these areas! Wonderful work! :thumbsup:
I must say your building style is very interesting for me :thumbsup:
You are the first person I know who build industrial plants on the large space, separated one from another by meadows and forest. It is very realistic for some kinds of modern Hi-Tech industry. Most people build industrial objects one close to another.
I'm afraid I will not have any chance to do something similar in Shosaloza ::), but I like it very much.
Your road network looks excellent. It is vell planned (I think it's very functional too) and it looks very clear.
BTW, wchich road mod do you use? It looks very good!
And I like the general view of the city :thumbsup: Again, everything looks clear. I know where is the center, commercial and industrial areas.
Excellent work and different from the main stream MDs, definitely worth the award! &apls &apls

thundercrack83 - Thank you for visiting again. As I mentioned to bat, I am concentrating on establishing a lot of suburban development out into the surrounding area. Even the modest buildings downtown would only exist in a fairly sizable city. The region currently has only about 120K.

Beautiful pictures of that city! Fantastic work! :thumbsup:
Hi friend, thanks for putting that picture of the entire region in your last update. It shows a great planning of the area. I love the way how you have centered the town, have the airport in a distance, and just a few rural areas in between. Great! :satisfied:
I like the surburban layout, nicely planned with plenty of green between estates. :thumbsup:
Also you have used the ave roundabouts very well.
Downtown Lexington looks good and I'm impressed by the way the residential and commercial merge wih no distinct boundaries, a realistic look in my opinion for a smaller community such as this. Looking forward to more.
Cheers
Dave
Urban sprawl at its finest! You have a great feel for open space which I have so much trouble with. I really enjoy watching downtown grow with each update. Nicely done! &apls

When I look at this MD, I get the feel that its very "American". which is a good thing considering its what you're modeling your city after. Reminds me so much of the town I used to live in in suburban Boston. Great stuff, and fantastic picture taking.
Again very good update - you are a very good planner and the structure of your city is clearly visible! :thumbsup: It is not very common in MDs ;)
Also, I like your work with space very much, I think it would be comfortable and pleasant to live in such city!

tooheys - Back where I'm from traffic circles are more common than here in the southeastern US.
JBSimio - Yes, sprawl is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I am attempting to keep the city open but not spread too thin. We'll see...
nedalezz - Boston has both. Old world compactness in it's older areas and American sprawl further out.

Great update. I love your mosaics they look just amazing. I love the way you make little research areas with the ponds. That's exactly how I see those areas pop up in RL and I love that idea. Great job!

* As I've mentioned earlier, I tend to build on every available lot so I am making an effort to spread things out, especially in the suburbs. Yes, I have always liked mosaics and finally sat down and figured out that Infanview did them. The last one didn't merge well though...my fault. Glad you're enjoying the region.

You're showing some quite exceptional skills here in the lay out of your city. I think the mosaic from three updates back is a very good one. I like the combinations you have made with the different kinds of infrastructure and a few taller buildings, it all fits very.
Wow man - what drug did you take to come with such excellent updates in such a short time? I especially like the midtown tunnel as shown in the 2nd mosaic of update 11... &apls.
Fantastic new update(s) there! Great work!

Hi, there, amapper,
Your region has some very remarkable features. :thumbsup: Your transit system looks different somehow; I can't quite put my finger on it, but the look of the highways and roads is different and more true to life. &Thk/( If you've mentioned a modd, please forgive my inattention.
You also use the natural elements very convincingly. I, too, am surprised at the versatility of the painted desert modd. Few dams portrayed are as faithful to what's out there. Is the dam on that gorgeous mountain lake I see in the lower right of your region shot? The lake is a little different than Peg's and wasn't Jeroni's TPW yet; is it Citynut's set? Or could it be that rural canal set I saw on Tout Sim City? :-\ Whatever it is, it sits in the lap of the mountains quite well. Finally, you've totally captured the US growth areas, those small cities that attract urbanites weary of the challenges of the metro area. It looks like your infrastructure will more than hold up.
Good work, here, and thanks for the engaging read. I wish you good thoughts in your further building and chronicling of the area, and will enjoy going along for the ride.
Bye for now.

* Hey thanks for the thoughtful response. The transit system is a mod:

The dam's lake is Peg's pond kit, though I'd like to try one with jeronij's plopable water.
Thanks to all for the interest and encouragement!
That bog is extraordinary, my friend! Very creative use of the ploppable water! I'll be looking forward to seeing what else you have up your sleeve!
That BOG IS GREAT. You did that perfectly. That in itself is a work of art.

Very nice update as always amapper. Your transportation network is fantastic, and I particularly like the office park.
Another great update of that water! Great work! Nice region overview! :thumbsup:
And Congrats on more than 100 replies and to the new section!
Even though I never visited your country, it does look a lot like what I have in mind of an American town. For me being European it's all a bit squarish, but I know that's how many American towns look in RL. I like the nature where you situated your cities in very much. This is a nice MD you've got going here!
Amazing, amazing stuff! Where is Lexington County based on, if anywhere? I mean, which state?
Fantastic update, and your aerial shots look so realistic.
Fantastic idea to post a recent map and an older map in the same post. It's interesting to see how Lexington deveops.
QuoteThe County believes it makes more sense to build for the future than play catch up later
How wise... the citizens can praise themselves lucky with such a county board motto ;)
I realy like the way how you situate your new residential areas close to the woods and lakes, without giving it a park feeling. Good job my friend!
This was a very nice update, love these kind of overview pictures to show the development. And I think you are making some quite realistic looking suburbs, you are not afraid to leave open space between the different areas, and with nature like you have showed us in the last updates, your sims should be happy with their accommodation.
Amapper simply stunning and amazing on the Bog and Resivor!!! This last update of the hospital area is real great as well your transportation network... You are doing one heck of a job here...
I do have a question for you i see a building i dont recongize from anywhere it looks like a truck terminal... its located in Long Meadow and there is a better shot of that building in the next pic that says about the housing poping up in Long Meadow.... What is that building??? Would you happen to have a link for it by a chance??? thank you - pat

That airport is looking really great, amapper! Wonderful work! Looking forward to more...
Great airport, it's inspiring to see it! :thumbsup:
Richard I soo thank you for that help.... What a wonderful update on the airport here and the pics are just wonderful, cant wait to see more here in Lexington County - pat
The airport that you made is one of the most realistic I have ever seen in MD. And yet again, there is still room left for expansion! Clever my friend :thumbsup:
I especially like the way how the tunnel is running under the departure halls, to catch arriving passngers right after they took their luggage from the carrousels. Are you a professial traffic planner by any chance ?
Great update, the airport looks great. I hate making airports but you make it look great.
Hi there Amapper,
It's been a while since I dropped by -sorry- and you've been busy.
I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said by so many others - you're putting it all together very nicely.

amapper, you have a great MD here. I especially like your focus on the transportation for the area.
In your last update about the passenger part of the airport, I love the tunnel that runs under the arrival/departure hall. That's a great idea as many airports have two levels of roadways to separate arriving and departing passengers. I never would have thought about that. But now that I've seen that tunnel, I'm going to use it in my own airport. Great work on the MD.
-- John
Another fantastic update. I love the factory that makes the composite desks.
Great update. I realy like how you use the airport pack to create such large warehouse facilities in this area :thumbsup: And so many railroad tracks connecting them with the outside world - very realistic, and ... gorgeous. Your experience in 45+ years of map-drawing is clearly visible.

Fantastic looking new areas of that city! Wonderful work! :thumbsup:
Your transportation systems are second to none; the best Ive ever seen. They are so life-like and realistic. Even though the MD's look is totally American, it reminds of how the Chinese are developing theyre new communities. Dont get me wrong; your MD looks nothing Asian, lol, but the way you develop your communities is reminiscent of how they are doing things there.
Another fantastic update, and downtown Lexington is just beautiful.
Hi Amapper,
I have to confess that grid cities are not usually my cup of tea - BUT, you do them so well that I am really taken by Lexington County. The business parks illustrate this - very square but very realistic and there's something about them that just pleases the eye.
That zoom out shot of the town square is a great picture. I know it's a standard maxis flower garden but it fits there PERFECTLY. I can't think of any other plaza or garden that would fit there as well.
And the rail yards and connections to factories are also top notch.
Great updates.

Just a quick post with a link to Lexington County's regional view. As you can see,there is still a lot of land untouched.
Any ideas what could be added to the region?

You continue to impress. It looks great, I love the city and it looks amazing.
I say this from personall expierience, NEVER! put Res next to a water plant.
Trust if the wind picks up a certain way.... ;)
Wonderful overview Amapper - your region and your city are very nice. It's funny to see how the underwear-distribution center is the geographical center of Lexington :P
No kidding - I love your planning style and city building. The business parks fit very will in the landscape. That said, made me read back all 7 pages of your MD and realy think you're a hell of city planner... just about every picture in Lexington gives me WOW feeling. Seeing the uptown tunnel and the airport again made me realise that you need some kind of award my friend, so:
&dance
Always very nice to stop by here, as the other people are saying, this is great cityplanning and execution. And looking at the region view I would suggest making some more farms, but still this city is looking quite natural without.

Replies: Please accept my apology. I know it has been quite a while since my last update, but with the Christmas season and family coming in, complete with grand babies, I have been pretty busy. I also have been playing around with a desert themed region I might put up on the site. Thank you for all your support.

Here are some views of Manchester, down river from Lexington. As freight traffic increased through the region, rail roads expanded their switching facilities here because of the availability of land. Up until the expansion of the airports cargo handling capabilities, most workers came from Lexington and worked mostly on rail road related jobs. As you can see, the area is home to a wide variety of companies.

I enjoyed every piece here again ! What you sure here is so freakin' realistic, I still cannot believe how that is possible. One example of what I mean: the bridge/viaduct shown in the 4th and 7th picture. This is what tried to achieve myself probably a zillion times, never turned out to look like what you got. What is the secret?

Here is a brief tutorial on building ramps and slopes. It's important you have NAM installed as well as BRF_TunnelAndSlopeMod-bJERONI by jeroni.
I apologize for the lack of detail but I wanted to get it to you as soon as I could. If you have Questions, feel free to PM me.

Very good tutorial amapper!
Yes, using rail to make more soft avenue is very good method, it is also important to plop two single rail pieces first :thumbsup:
I have only one question:
- Why did you use "Road on slope", not "Avenue on slope" puzzle pieces?

&dance &dance
I do however think that the one shown in the update is more perfect than the one shown in the tuturial. I guess it's the short distance between the railroad and the river that does the trick there, combined with yet another viaduct and road-on-slopeslopes, and the very natural way the trees are plopped. And probably that rockmod gives it a very realistic touch!

Hi Amapper.
Some great updates and also a brilliant tutorial. I agree with Sebes comments 100% - it is a look I struggle to create, so now I have a new tool that I can use, BIG THANKS.
Loved the region view of Lexington it really does look fantastic.
And I also like your high density housing developments.
All the best,
Paul
Great tutorial! The railyard looks incredible as well, your really should plan actual cities lol.
One question: what mod are you using to make your roads and avenues such a light colour?

Richard- Wonderful layout and a fine style here. All that pales, though, next to your sense of the landscape, which is masterful.
Lexington County is a great place to spend some time. Not here enough.
That's going to change.

Quite a nice place! But the "gray" road textures look a bit blueish &mmm
Great overview of that area!
Like the farms and city!
wow u did that by using the airport pieces WOW!!! that is mighty crafty of you!!! I loved the pond richard, Just wonderful!!! Cant wait to see the next update and what you have to offer to us..........
I loved the aerial shot of the farms, they look uber realistic. I also loved the way you did the apartments at the end of the update; something similar is being developed in Fursan! Very nice update.
what is the name of this building and is it on the stex or lex...
right onto real comments...
i love what you have done with the airport terminal pieces... very creative, i will have to do that myslef in future.
the pond view is also very well made, overall a very aesthetically pleasing update
thanks
MG
Wonderful update, my friend! I love your farms and that avenue bridge is outstanding! Keep up the good work, and I'll be back to see more!

"The Ponds" is looking really nice! Wonderful work with the canals and farms!! :thumbsup:
Looking forward to more... ;)
very beautiful countryside, and I like your water plopable :thumbsup:
I really liked this update. The farms look fantastic with their irregular shapes and the mix of tress in between. Very well done and very realistic. Your use of the plopable water and mix of dead trees is a very nice touch.
I wouldn't want to live there, but a I could take nice quiet and relaxing break there no problem. ()stsfd()
Robin :thumbsup:
Hi Mapper...
You've created a nice rural area and successfully depicted the encroachment of city sprawl. And I like the bog. I enjoyed this update.
I love the growth of Lexington County. It's realistic, plus the use of the airport terminals for warehouses and stuff is cool too. Keep up the good work.
Two really great updates there. The farming areas are done very well. I like that big farm with different generations working on it. And the trasnition from farms to town is a difficult one to pull off, I feel that you've done it right.
The Ponds is a nice development as well, can imagine it being a nice place to live, work and shop.
The retail and distribution centre from a few updates back is a very nice creation. Looking huge and quite realistic, and your transport networks are another interesting part of your updates.
The Bog looks fantastic, and the shots with the irrigation canals are really nice. I cant wait to see more off The Ponds, the way the residential developments have been made by you are very creative!

Great use of that antenna. Maybe it will grow to be a whole range of towers for communications. I could totally see three of those around that area. Anyways, later dude.
The airport and surrounding industrials are looking magnificent.
I like the way you use the airport terminal buildings to create such large warehouses. Unless you've already copyrighted the idea I think I may have to adopt that approach when it comes to my distribution centres in future ;)
Great job.
Great industrial park there next to the wonderful airport!
Looking forward to more...
Nice city,reminds me of a miniature Richmond Virginia

fantastic last few updates here and Love the industrials you have been doing!!!
Beautiful update, my friend! It seems that I've missed a few of them here lately, sorry about that!
This latest update looks great, though. The farms, the office complex--they look fantastic. My favorite pary is the creek that you have running through. It looks very realistic.
Keep up the good work!
Dustin
splendid &apls I like much your city and your beach!
there is much greenery what returns living your city in this nature ;)
I am in a hurry to see your continuation !
Splendid. &apls
It is simply superb, the rivers which passes in your city gives him a tremendous number of charm, I aodre.
Also of what creator are the new flats on picture n°6?
Wonderful work! I don't really like the grayish road texture, but that's your taste. I like the suburban officespace you've created, very realistic. I like the usage of an embanked highway aswell. Keep on!
Windsor is looking very nice, amapper!
And great overview of Lexington!
Looking forward to the next update...
Lovely pictures Amapper - everything is just briljant: from the large warehouses near the airport, to the rivershores in the suburbs, and the beach and promenade in Windsor...
Thanks for the region pictures showing Greater Lexington - Love it :satisfied:
Hey, that is a very good update. Love the way the river meanders through the landscape. It's nice to see such a relaistic in-game water river. The vogue seems to be to use the TPW (myself included) so it's good to see what can be achieved with what Maxis gave us!
The beach looks good - nice addition to the town.
the Aspen Village Condos have always been a favourite of mine and they fit nicely here.
My only suggestion/comment would be that given the location, I'm surprised the houses that sit next to the golf course aren't more "upmarket".
The golf course itself looks superb - and that office complex around the lake is also great.
The overviews show us just what a great job you've done with Lexington so far - luckily it looks like you've still got plenty of room to grow into - great, more updates :thumbsup:

This MD is awesome cant wait to see more &apls
This MD is a most masterful expression of North American style suburbs in general. :) The liberal use of open space and attention to detail are simply amazing. I simply find the details so enjoyable. Dick, you are a mentor to many given the comments that I have read and I include myself in that group. This is my favorite MD for sure. &apls &apls &apls
Please keep up the updates and continue this...the SC4 community is benefiting greatly from your willingness to share.

Thank you!
I like the aerial shot. Kind of looks like a ... real city ... Also like how the creek leisurely winds and turns. My minds eye sees children fishing and swimming along its banks.
