Sorry Silvo ... he's all mine now  ()flamdev()

Official Orders for Pat

I see that the separatists control your southern region. I feel your pain as they also control mine. I also see that Rayden had you develop Tile H for challenge 4. TheThreeStooges ordered me to develop tile H. Subsequently, we have the same city tiles available.   

I've already received my orders from Miss-Mall <aka> newsimaddict. You may be thinking to yourself "So what?!"  Well, I am going to give the exact orders that I received to you .. because .. I want to see who can best fulfill her desires and dreams. Like two suitors' making an impression. You and me. In head to head competition. Mano-a-mano. I'm challenging you to the proverbial dual. The line is drawn in the sand. Will you cross it? The block is on my shoulder. Will you knock it off?

It would be super if Miss-newsimaddict would be a judge in the end (for the fun of it) to see whose city reigns supreme.

Here are the instructions.
1. Green = woods or areas left to nature
2. Yellow = farm fields
3. Blue is a large shopping mall. This will have to be a commercial plop lot with a lot of jobs to support a city.
4. Cyan = RCI (Residential, commercial, and industrial) the city must look big, busy, and brown. By brown I take it that the predominant style of homes are of the brownstone style e.g. 2 to 4 story medium density residentials similar but not necessarily limited to JBSimio and Marczar's tenement style buildings. You've got Carte Blanch to accomplish this. Schools, Parks, Landmarks, anything and everything needed to encourage this type of growth. The entire area does not have to be filled in. You may leave gaps or open spaces to suite your asthetic preferences. Hint: One strategy I am going to use is the 'make historical' button if one of those brownstones happens to grow.
5. The only stipulation is that the RCI buildings must grow. No industrial or commercial plops. The obvious exception is the Shopping Mall.
6. For some unknown reason a prison on the island off the coast.  ::)
7. Orange = Tram stations. Suite yourself as to the path of the connecting track and number of stops along the route. 
8. White = Curvy scenic road at the edge of town.

By the way – I don't know if you are like me. But I don't have a readymade mall to plop. I'll have to lot one. I can make the commercial plop lot for you if you need one. Just let me know the size and the number of jobs required. I'll make you a blank commercial plop ready for lotting. Or, I may just go searching the LEX. I've not made up my mind yet.

That's about it. Use the map (below) as your guide and good Luck. Oh... be careful. I don't want you to hurt your back or strain you neck.

Hey Pat. How you doing?

I am going to borrow one of your phrases. This challenge 5 is a "Whopper". Huge amount of work. I spent about 6 hours in the LE just getting things set for the 'big' city. But it's about 95% done. Big. Busy. Brown. I am hoping that brown is MrB's favorite color as there's a lot of it. :D  I've got just a few little tweaks to do for the odd screen grab. Such as few vacant lots and a couple of small 'inbetween' parks.

The more I fiddled with the tram lines the more I learned. I wasn't too enthusiastic about trams at first but they're quite nice. I even saw a tram car or tain (what ever those things are called) zooming down the tracks.

I still have my army base to do and a navy base as well <whew> Did the Air Force last week. Spent way too much time on the air base and fell behind. But I'll meet the deadline. How's your progress?

Thanks for the mall link. I definatelly didn't have enough time to make a custom mall for the challenge. Although it took about an hour to find and download the dependencies for the SimGoober Mall.  ::)  I know. I'm slow.  :(

Anyways, here's a pic. Not very clear, but hopefully you'll get the idea.

Pat

Jim very good choice there for the Mall indeed!!! I am doing good and I've been a busy bee building the north lol.... I will have a pic or two later tonight  ;)

I see the challenge is going well between you two! I'm very much looking forward to seeing how you both go with this...and the brown is looking wonderful Jim. Great going...

(and am glad you're liking the trams  :))

Pat

Hey Pat! How you doin'?

I've posted the pictures for "Shopping Wars!" in my challenge 5 thread.

This picture, as nice and brown as it is, did not make the final cut. Anyway - I hope all is going well. Marion (my wife of 35 years) is happy that challenge 5 is over as we now are spending time together  :D  and perhaps I can watch some sports on TV tomorrow?    ::)   

Good Luck (did I just say good luck? Well, not too much of it) and may the best city win. . . .
