Show us your small towns

[Mikeaut1]

Wow what nice work Khiyana!!!! Beautiful subway area too!

[eljacko]

Khiyana, that looks very nice, although I am somewhat curious how small a town can be when it has a subway station.

Anyway, here's a small town I built right on the edge of a tile, near a larger city.  Unfortunately not all the industrial has been built yet.

Khiyana,

I agree with TTC. Very good work of you.
I especially like the last picture. You have some buildings from different styles here (sorry for bad English...), but color shifting (less saturation?) works very well. All buildings look well fitted now.
I like also the ground on the slope. It looks very good, also the viewpoint and trail park.
Subway station on the roundabout - no problem. It looks very well in the small city centre. Maybe it is not an underground staion at all? 

eljacko: very nice place. Maybe remove some industrial zones and make some small commercials instead?

Thank you TTC, Badsim and sebes, I'm very glad that you like my town  !
@Badsim: I will see, if I find some more nice pictures 
@ sebes: Yes, that is a really big cat, but I don't know from where I got this statue...

The cat is my cousin and he told me that he was the model for the statue


Eljacko: Lovely pic but i agree with ennedi for changing industrial to commercial. it would look  better I think but still its a great pic.

Fantastic work and great picture @ both!  Great small towns!

[Mikeaut1]

eljacko  - Now that's just awesome!!! I love how the small town just sits there at the edge of the water!

Travis - WOW!! I'm really liking that village area! How'd you get those little pathways coming off the street into the set back houses? That's really nice! 

[Travis]

Thanks everyone! Mikeaut, they are a part of PEG's memorial drive kit, found Here.

This is the downtown area for a small town I've been working on lately named Rockwell Valley. The picture is really outdated and old. I'd post a more updated picture but the CD drive on my computer is busted and without the CD, I can't load the game to take any pictures...



Right now, the downtown area still looks similar to this, but it's a little denser and there are more trees.

Why, why, why would we who enjoy our game would give up this to start over with a brand new product SC5 or whatever it's going to be called.  Nice small town.

Few pictures from a quite big project that I'm not supposed to tell you anything about yet

Congratulations to everybody! Your work is amazing and very inspiring for me.

These are my pictures from a small country called Derrickfalls Town. It's only 2.500 inhabitants but it's full of services.

I hope you like!

Between two roads you can observe a mid-residential area, surrounded by a elementary school and several commercial stores.

To the left, you can see a mid-class neighborhood, Upper Falls trains station and further on the Church of the Sacred Mantel and the local cemetery.

The municipal water treatment plant is summoned in a mostly industrial area. To the right is located the football stadium of Derrickfalls Devils Football Club.

The Derrick Lane Stadium is the home of the Derrickfalls Devils Football Club. To the front is located the George Marvell elementary school  and the Blogh Inn Pub. Far away, the Municipal Bank.

szarkoz,
You showed very interesting pictures (at least for me). You created a typical polish rural landscape. I think about:
1. The shape of residential zones. These are not regular rows or another kind of square grid - houses are built along streets or make irregular groups.
2. Small and stretched out fields, some of them irregular. They look completely different from american and other large fields. It is also typical for Poland (and maybe some other european countries, especially in Eastern Europe).
3. Fields on slopes. It makes very interesting effect. As I know, Jeronij makes something similar in his Great Canyon region, but I don't know anybody else who makes something like this.
A little suggestion: try to make some paths/dirt roads between fields - not too much. Use more space - the effect will be much better. Try to make some small, smooth hills and cover them completely by fields, making road/path in the valley. (of course it's only my opinion - you decide). I like your work 

wilko_1978: Very nice climate of these pictures. Also, nice couple of buildings and good planning 

wouanagaine: very good - as always 

Now some of mine

It's my first post on here.

I've loved looking at everyone's small towns.  Great way of seeing how other people play the game and they've given me some new ideas.

Here are some pics of Dean Bay, a town of 5,500 that is next to the capital of my Dornelles region.  Commuters travel to the big city by elevated rail or ferry.  There is some industry and farming in town for those who don't want to travel too far to work.

Central to this bay side town is the resort hotel and the beaches.  I was offered the resort hotel reward really early in the life of this town - which was nice.

You'll see there is a small boardwalk area.  the houses are low wealth at the moment, but with such a great location I am hoping they'll upgrade soon - maybe I'll put some parks in nearby to encourage them.  Maybe I also need to give them a school and clinic as they are some distance from the existing ones.

I've provided a close up of the "Wandsworth Wedge", one of my favourite buildings by GasCooker - I think his work is excellent and this buiding perched on a slight hill dropping down to the beach looks perfect there.  I can almost imagine looking out of one of those windows on the corner on a nice sunny day.

Anyway, I hope you like Dean Bay and I'd love to hear your comments and any suggestions for improvements or different ideas.

(First post, so hope the pictures are there!)
