Title: Developing Nipigon Island - City of Nature - Is It Going To Live Its Name?
Post by: un1 on October 26, 2008, 11:44:38 AM
Welcome To Developing Nipigon Island!




This is my second MD here at SC4Devotion. I hope that this will turn into being at least a Best Seller, but then again, isn't that the goal for all MD's?
I started this CJ at Simtropolis yesterday, and I decided to add it here.

So sit back and enjoy the long lasting Nipigon Island CJ!

What this CJ is going to be is just building Nipigon Island, I am not even close to completing it and, yeah well, will I probably ever complete it.

But instead of giving you teasers until it is complete, I will tell development stories, of course I do not have many pictures this update, I think you will enjoy it.

Let's start with the first little update, only 5 pictures but at the end it gives you the Nipigon Island you love.

First we start off with the last image shown in Chain Island,

Nice stuff you have there! The first picture is just magnificent! This minimism is really loveable ;) Seriously! Great, and SAM roads add realism. And could you tell me what's that plopped building in the middle of your town? The one with blue roof. It looks really nice! I'd love to have that :)

Anyway, nice start! I'll keep an eye for it. ;)

Pretty good. Things in your village seem a little mismatched, but it looks like a good start. Might I suggest adding some sort of trees to the park greens?

Keep It Up!

Update 1 - Developing Davenport Part 1

You could say this update is the first of many Developing Davenpost updates.
So like the last one, it goes in steps... So here it is,

First is a picture of the future city.

Update 2 - Developing Davenport Part 2

Just today I went over my main plans for Davenport, and I noticed there I named it "Rockford" and the town I will now name "Davenport" was "Rockford".  $%Grinno$%

So onto the update...
More steps. Same thing as before. More details.... More pictures!

So then I add more roads... Just like little roads, not quite streets.  ;)

Not bad at all... very nice, although I suggest staying away from edge shots because they ruin the illusion when there's a massive dropoff in people's yards. I think some houses need a little relotting because some of the yards are very sparse. Other than those two, you off to a great start! :thumbsup:

Very nice start un1. I like how the zones from your most recent update blend right into each other with a neat little mixed use area. Those windmills there are massive... don't think you'd need too many of those to power the area. I'll keep an eye out for the next update.

Update 5 - City Of Nature - Is It Going To Live Its Name?

So will it? Will it become a utopia or a industrial wasteland? I guess, if you want you decide!
For now, I will just show you it forming.

Hi there! I belive I have a debt to pay...   :D

Update 2: Nice update there with lots of pictures. Dragable paths? Did I heard right? Um, is that available for downloading anywhere?

Update 3: Nice development there. I like the pictures in that update, the only thing that "bothers me" is the sidewalk change between white and pink ($/$$ Vs $$$). The night shoot looks good also.

Update 4: I liked the mosaic.Other than that, I wish for more diversity between the trees.

And so we come to the last Update 5: I like how you presented the roads building in here. Utopia Vs. Industrial wasteland... hm, I personally would go for utopia but it will be ok whatever you do as long as you make it yours. ;)

See you around,

I always enjoy seeing "development" pics - it's good to see how different people approach SC4.

Your suburban housing is nice, I like it.  And it's funny how certain bats seem to grow when perhaps they're not really appropriate - your town seemed to build a Wild Zebra nightclub and a Chocolate Boutique before worrying about houses or more basic shops - but hey, that's SC4 for ya - happens to us all.

A couple of suggestions..... I thinks a sidewalk modd would work well for you - in some of the pics there is changes in the pavement (sidewalk as called in USA)   from the red/pink high wealth to the grey med/low wealth.  Personally I think this looks a bit screwy.  It took me a while to crack it - but Jeronij's modd works well.

Also, I think you should allow more space around your schools.  Given them a field to play on - maybe football, or baseball, or just a plain green grass field.  At the moment the schools seem kinda squashed in and feel a bit claustrophobic.

As for what to do with the current quad.  Hmmmm, it'd be nice to see where it fits in the region as this could give some clues.  But from what you've shown us it looks nice in its rural state - maybe mix in some other flora and maybe create a national park or something!!??

so far it looks pretty rad, man.
i'd love to see a small farming community, but of cattle graziers/dairy farms instead of crops. you could use some of the stuff developed by Chris in the RRP like the fences and the cattle props. just an idea.
also, how did you make that RHW overpass? try as i might (and i did for about an hour after seeing that photo), i just can't recreate it. am i missing something really obvious, or what?
