"Joins the mass migration of cj's over to SC4D to avoid massive server drag"
-Now with typing-
Alrighty then many of you are familiar with my current region if not here are trans maps (http://img223.imageshack.us/my.php?image=test11696104549kg.png) and region shots (http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/5489/test11696104356jy.png) of the currently developed areas.
As you can see the downtown is quite oversized at the moment, as is about as large as it will get. I developed this large cbd early on a large tile surrounded by small and med. tiles, which would supply the commuters, this allowed me to maximize the rail and highway traffic coming into the cbd.
As for the sprawl this is an american style city, so i figure that a city of (now about 1 million) should have sprawl going out at least 30 miles or so. So by that i have much more to add. however as i progress further from the cbd the sprawl will become less griddy and more meandering and wasteful of space.
Anyways some relatively new pics of the downtown.
This first pic shows the downtown looking south, you can see a rail and L line coming in from the east (each connects to a different neighboring residential tile) and an L line and the big dig coming in from the south. You can also barely make out two L lines exiting to the west (towards the port).
Something else i have been trying to do is to have no commercial tower repeats. Obviously i have not gotten there yet, and still need about 10-12 more mid to large towers before i can really say that the whole skyline has no commercial duplicates.
Please Look Here (http://img250.imageshack.us/my.php?image=aa0qf.jpg)
This next picture shows a little closer into downtown, in the middle of the two major rail/L Hubs in the city center, both handle over 100,000 commuters and are vital to the area. In this park of the city i have also tried to mix in more green space as i have been told my cities are too "grey" ;)

here is a cool closeup showing some realistic residential developements (i would name them appropriate things like "Artist Point Condos, or Park Place Apartments if i was more creative :P
You can find my tutorials here at SC4D on how to grow what residential where you want when you want. I have also realized my L train skin is hard to see.

Light Green: Stenton Park: A small urban yuppy enclave in the heart of South downtown a popular area with the dink crowd (dual income no kids) this area is extremely trendy, extremely high demand and incredibly expensive. tucked into downtown near the canal, location is everythig and the prices reflect it. Typical one bedroom rents range from $2000 to well upwards of $5000. Many of the cities wealthiest live here.
Light blue: Emerald Park: a masterplanned housing development on the cities north west
side. This area benefits from close proximity to major transportation lines (expressway
and rail) but is also just north of Emerald Park, the cities largest public park and a highly
popular area. However this popularity carries an element of undesirables and can be dangerous
in spots. This is not an area reccomended for families, and is much better suited for
young first time buyers, college students, ect. Typical rents on a 1br range from $600 to about $1000.
Darker Green: Hanburg Park: An older northside neighborhod populated largely by European
Immigrants back in the day is now home to many of the cities Latin American immigrants. Colorful apartments and row homes are common, as well as small shops. This area also benfits from it proximity to public transportation. typical 1br rents can range from around $500 to upwards of $1000, though the are is known for being largley affordable.
Violet: Kenwood park: A bustling highly residential neighborhood known for good schools and
and safe streets. The area is served by a large rail station and is very commuter friendly.
However in recent years the areas desirability has begun to drive prices up somthing long
term residents take issue with. typicall 1br rents can still be found around $7-800, but
new constructions, rehabs, and many remodled units are now going for well over $1500.
Dark Blue: The Upper East Side. A high and mid rise residential community bordering
the cities far north east side. This area is known as the most affordable for those looking
to experience highrise city living on a relatively modest budget. Apartments on the west
side go for around $1200-1500 for a 1br, while those in midrises to the east go for $800-$1100.
Teal: Maywood Park: A Small quiet residential community on the cities near east side, the best
word to describe this area is sleepy, home to many of the cities elderly residents, and families
this is an area of quiet tree lined streets and very limited commercial development. Typical
1br rents range from $700-$1000 and are considered reasonable, they are kept down by low
demand as many of the cities youth see it as a boring place to live.
Red: Portage Homes: An old urban housing development that should have been demolished
long ago. This east side hood is a home to many of the areas poorest, many of whom
work at the docks or in factories in the neighboring tile. This is known as bad area for
surbanites who have come to the city to get lost, as it's in close proximity to nicer areas
typical 1br rents range from $450-650, this is also home many of the cities homeless who
wander into the cbd during th day to panhandle.
Grey: Burton Park: A lively east side neigborhood benefiting from an influx of culutures
and close proximity to downtown and the canal from shopping district. This is a lively area
filled with many bars,clubs and restraunts, popular with the young crowd and increasingly expensive typical 1br rents range from $800 and way up from there.
South Side:

Green: South Point: A wealthy urban area of mega-tower condos and apartments,
a few companies have their corporate offices located here, but the area has
maintained it's largely residential feel. The area is also borderd by a small forest
forest park to the north bordering less dsirable neighborhoods. Residents also benefit
from close proximity, both I290 heading south and the Metro South Shoe line. A typical
1-bedroom in this area rents for upwards of $2,000. And north facing units can run
well over $3,000.
Blue: Crown Park: Located on the cities near southeast this is a long neglected community
finally starting to see some nicer developement on it's west side near the expressway as
well as some commercial development along it's southern portions near the near the Metro
South Port branch. In past years the canal has been less than clean do to heavy port traffic
to the east (see region map),it was also not uncommon to find bodies and other refuse being
dumped by criminal elements from the surrounding neighborhood. But do to recent improvments large freigh ships no longer pass through this canal and the water quality is improving. Rents for a typical 1-bedroom can range from $400 for a really sketchy unit to around $1000 for a new construction unit to the south and west.
Grey: Aleksander Park: A once extremely depressed area, Mayor aleksander exercised
his supreme mayoral power and had the entire area demolished, he then built a big dig tunnel
to conntect to downtown and constructed 11 highrise condos and apartments in the area. THe move angered some long time residents who feel the mayor is trying to push the cities poor out further and further from the city. Caving into pressure the Mayor agreed for a portion
of the new housing to be allocated for low wealth families, and added plenty of urban park and
green space. Typical rents for a 1 bedroom range from the the upper $700 range for low income units, to near 2,000 for high nd north facing units.
Yellow: Brighton Point: An old fishing port converted into a marina, however this area has
been hard hit by an influence of gang and drug activity. While nearby areas have seen staggering developement this area has retained a very old feel to it, something residents say they would like to keep. The areas prime location and proximity to urban rail make it a priority candidate for future development. Typical 1-bedroom rents can still be found down around $600 up to over $1,000.
Uh-oh. A new perfect reason to call in sick.
Great to have you and your marvelous cityscapes here, Alek.
Now to stand out of the way as thundering hordes follow you over here.
David
At St I lurked my way through numerous cj's ... but I think it is fair to at least leave a message here that i love reading the combined experiments of AK here ... Keep up the great work.
Great pictures! I like how you have divided the city as would a real city would. It really looks amazing! &apls
Excellent CBD. Very dense. A nice mix of uses as well. I like how you've delineated the neighbourhoods, you don't see that often in CJs. I love your transportation networks. You've got all the different types going on nicely. :thumbsup:
My only beef is that all of your buildings are either grey, or blue, or some combination there of. haha :D
AWSOME WORK!!! :thumbsup: I'm coming back for more! :D
Even if you've put tuto here on how to get what you want where you want, I'm still jealous of your plugins folder and how you layout transports network
awesome work as allways
Fantastic MD AK! The different neighbourhoods come out very realistic. I like that you also show the traffic flows in your downtown. Cool. :thumbsup:
this is awesome. i love the descriptions of the neighborhoods because many of them seem relate to ones in the chicago area. it's cool to see you taking a new approach on a cj. great job and i can't wait for more!
yeah you hit that one right on ;)
As much as I love the pics, and I really do, I think my favorite part about the latest update was the description. 10/10!
I was wondering when you would make the move into here. I'm glad you did it, coz I really enjoy watching your work, specially the transportation network and how you manage to everyone to commute so well, no abandoned buildings anywhere &apls
Keep up the standards mate
Very, very nice. You have amazing transportation networks; and to think I struggle with buses ::). I really liked reading about the different neighborhoods, that was a cool detail, it makes the city seem more alive. Your doing an awesome job, keep it up!
I wish I had something intelligent to add, but I'm currently out of words... &apls
Wonderful update and nice information to the sections!
Great to see you here AK.
Nice start!
Hey, Alek
Quoting [

QuoteNow to stand out of the way as thundering hordes follow you over here.
Well, here we are, a day...
...and 15 posts......later. Is my crystal ball working or what?
Glad to see your CJ-ing skills projected here AK.
I lurked a lot at ST in your CJ, forgive me for that.
Great description of the neighbourhoods, it makes the city so lively!
Great also how you managed the traffic in the CBD. Almost no cars (green lines) or is it just me?
Wonder how all those R$$$ get to work.
Now about that L-rail train. light green and light blue indede do not stick out. Try maybe red?
Nik-Nik
thanks for the nice reply nik-nik, the reason you don't see green lines for cars, is because your are seeing the
trans paths after I querried both rail/L stations, the only cars involved would be on the other end where the commuters live. The highway however does have over 20,000 cars and busses. And the R$$$ population is still only maybe 1/6 at most of the total population. Despite being largely commercial this tile has around 269,000 sims
and yeah i am going to switch that train skin, if only i could remember what it was called #?¿?¿?$
on an off hand note does anyone know how to go about raising the capacity of rail stations drastically, it seems like
all of mine including my huge ones are running at 200-300% of capacity or worse. if there is an easy way to tweak the capacity it would be great.
Think I'll quit building my own region and move in here! Well, maybe just buy a time share.
in regards to you el train issue, i'll give you some links. there's a red and white one in this pack http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=13560. and there's also bigredfish's stuff, he's got a few nice ones that look really good in game http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?page=1&keyword=bigredfish&type=all. then if your lookin to have it remind of you home there's ardecilas CTA versions http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=11449. just some suggestions. hope i helped!
Great start! I love the pictures where you split the city up into the different neighborhoods!
thanks chicago, and lets talk some Bears, I for one like that they are the underdogs, this team seems to play best when they have a chip on their shoulder, I am so excited and it is still over a week away. I already took off work the monday after to regain my strength. ?=mad)= ¬sck# ?=mad)=
I think i want to go with Ardecila's, I wish i could get traffic on my L over road pieces to use his station but for some reason i can build the network and it looks great but no one will pass through :discuss:
oh yeah and for those that haven't seen it, the entire region, note development very old, and easy to see the changes.

I used to love following the Bears too.

'Da Bears! [linkie] (http://www.bearshistory.com/seasons/1991chicagobears.aspx)
I grew up in the Chicago area in the George Halas/Dick Butkus/Brian Piccolo/Gale Sayers days [linkie] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Bears). They didn't move into Soldier Field [linkie] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldier_Field) until after I left the area to attend college. It's great that they're in the Superbowl [linkie] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl)- only winning the whole thing every twenty years or so leaves some pretty long dry spells.
Heh, Nik-nik- so you're a fan of the 'Fridge, eh? Man, he was a monster [linkie] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Perry_%28American_football%29). He had nothing on Dick Butkus [linkie] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Butkus), though, of whom I recall it was remarked, "He wasn't just trying to tackle you- he was trying to kill you."
Alek, sorry to hijack things, but thanks for the memories. That's a great region shot, btw. You are one prolific SC4 dude.
David
Well , I was following your work since a long at Simtropolis & have never posted on it . Shame on me .
But , there's no jealousy , I think I've posted about 14 posts on Simtro. although I'm member since 2004 ... /sad¬¬
I've always enjoyed your skilled city planning ... First contact :I'll try to be a little more talkative in future . ;)
Your stuff is always so detailed, I love it.
GO BEARS!
i think i'm still grasping the whole concept of this superbowl. lol. i also like when they are the underdogs because i'm pretty sure you saw what they did to new orleans. it's also funny to see the people in my school that have said the bears suck but are now acting like they've been life long bears fans. i'm glad that i've always stayed faithful to the teams i was raised on and have come to love just as any other chicago sports fan would know which is why i have respect for cubs fans like you and many other people i know. lol.
now about your cj, it's the best like always and deffinetly my favorite. keep up the inspiring work and i can't wait for more! da bears
ps. and if you don't mind i might be sending you a pm with some questions about that new dat packer that you seem to be crazy about/aboot.
Hi AleK,
Welcome to the dark side.[linkie (http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/bts/me3/16.html)] Hmmm is this the dark side? $%#Ninj2 Oh well. Welcome anyway. I know you have been here a while but welcome to your MD. Glad to see ya again. Love the updates btw.

AWWWW YEAH!!!! (http://www.fileden.com/pview.php?fid=145044&fname=MASSIVECOOL.JPG)
WoW!!! Thats some awesome work AK wonderful mosaic :thumbsup: &apls &dance &dance
that is one awesome mosaic. it's like every great bat released is featured here. can't wait for more!
yeah i am trying to go for as little commercial repeats as possilbe however i have about maximized, what i consider to be useable highrise BATs. Since the above picture i have added about 4 more new highrises, that replace duplicates seen above. however i still need about 6 more, to have no highrise commercial doubles. And don't say maxis buildings i already have a few and that is already too many.
Also some background this is my regions main and only CBD, it is surrounded by small and mid sized tiles as to maximize the potential number of commutters and possible neighbor connections, this is cool because it makes each line radiating out of downtown unique to a seperate surrounding community and surrounding tile.
The pic above shows half of a large tile, the other half is about the same size, maybe slightly larger, and crossed by many trans lines heading to the surrounding tiles. I have already added an awesome Japanese stadium with a cool overhanging diagonal shap, and a large area of apartments, a massive commercial wasteland and an even larger swath of single family homes, all this will be shown later this week.
This particular tile has a population of 390k and some change, the region has just now past 1 million, target population: 2.5 million.
Da Bearsss
You're da man of big cities, I love to see them, and the way you plan the commuting network for all those neighbourhoods and commercial areas. Nice work mate. :thumbsup:
Great stuff there Alek, i enjoyed it alot. It sure is far from being dull and i love the selection of buildings. Your plugins folder must be huge. Take care mate
catch ya
actually my plugins is now just barely over 1gig (i don't need to tell you why ;D)
My plugins are simple:
MODS:
Cycledogg Italia terrain and trees
NAM
rail base texture mod from NOB, alternate grass for Sub, rural, ind and Stone for the CBD.
SuperDemand Mod: Notice the lack of any dilapidation ;)
RadicalOrdinace: Again i am a sandbox player, but on the other hand it makes growing nice residential that is funtional and won't dilapidate easy.
RAdnom:
A very old STEX upload of grey parking lots the ones you see all over my cities, i then use Jeronig End Parking lots the 1x1 lot the is TE'd, and use them next to each other to create what kinda look like custom created TE'd paking lots to fit odd shaped spaces....
Stations: Lots NOB, ATPX and other japanese rail stations, also some from Frogface, and Tonkso, I use the same ones all the time, but heh, i like them best. Street top Bus and Subway Lots, and SG parking garages.
Residential:
Only 4 or 5 possible R$$$ buildings in my entire tile set. Goober, superstar, NDEX, HKBAT
High Rise R$$&$:All of Bixel's sets, Glenni for R$ and SFBT for R$.
Midrise R$&$$: mostly north american style, Dusks lofts, rowhomes from SG, BlaM modern row, some northern european block style apartments by SFBT, SOMY apartments.
Lowrise R$&$$ I have not shown much as far as single family homes go in this md yet but i use SG small homes and SG trailers for R$ and UK suburban homes by Gascooker for my R$$, and no single family R$$$ :D maybe i will do one neighborhood later...
Commercial:
All the best skyscrapers from NDEX, HKBAT, Tonkso, Glenni, Oneil, Kei, Zummi, Goober ect.
Midrise: Lots of BSC BATs from Goober. Plenty of Tonkso and Glenni, Japanese BATs ATPX, NOB, Kei, ect.
Lowrise: Strictly american style here, spralwy strip mall style lots from Simgoober, Jmeyers small shops all over, did i say Simgoober, and of my recent favorite and active BATers Spa.
Industrial: I allow MAxis ID and IM to grow but still block IHT. this is the only maxis you will see. (except two or three CO$$ buidings)
Gascooker, lotsa BSC stuff really, Northcountrydude lots all over, SOMY ports, Fukuda, ect.
That is pretty much what i am working with in a nutshell anything else just ask.
Massive Cool pic indeed. Great highrises. Look at that black monstrosity in right to the middle. Great stuff!
So this tile has 390 K inhabitants. How many Commercial workers?
Nice info on your plugins folder. Great many more scrapes you have than I have.
(I still need to build my first city tile with more than 300 K inhabitants)
Nik-Nik
actually the pop on this large tile is now up to over 400,000, with over 550,000 commercial jobs.
I will get official region census numbers next time.
I haven't shown the other half of the tile yet which contains much more residential and no skrapers
Also i have removed all the scattered marinas and added them to a new marina area on the other side of the
bank, as well as added highway bridges instead of the big dig between sides, looks pretty cool.
Alek-
That's probably the best thought through urban development plugins folder I've ever seen. I'm thinking about how that info might be more widely shared.
'Course, you still have to be a wizard at urban design to put it all together.
I'm still looking, btw, at the RR station capacity issue. I'm just slow, but haven't forgotten.
...so much SC4 to play, so little time...
David
Very nice pics. Personally, I'm one of those people who prefer using Maxis buildings. Oh well, tastes can be different.
I especially like that mosaic of downtown that you posted on the previous page, it's quite awesome...
I spent last night downloading like crazy about 10 more highrise towers, I should have enough now to accomplish my goal of no commercial highrise repeats, which i find to the most realistic, and i think just looks better.
I have also completed the new marina, and worked more on the second half of this tile, which is now about 20-30 percent done as well now :D
My goal is to have another mosaic at the same zoom level as the previous but of the completed tile done by tommorrow night. This area is taking longer because it has some natural elevation and instead of completely leveling it like i normally do ;D I am trying to build into the terrain more.
AK, I am loking forward to it.
For now take it easy and have a great weekend.
Nik-Nik
i'm really looking forward to seeing the new work you've done. and another thing, DA BEARS!
I am abandoning this region, I got a very strange glitch on this city tile where every time i save, all the props and detail dissapear from the bottom 10-15 tiles, I tried several remedies, demolishing rebuilding, ect, with no success. &mmm
Sooooo, I hit the brakes and started something totally different and started a new much smaller region, hand drawn in SC4TF, quite hilly, removed all my highrise and hardcore urban buildings and have started my first rural region in a long time, early progress has been suprisingly positive and i should have pics tommorrow.
Aw, such a shame :'( nice to see you still use my stuff though. :)
Quote from: Glenni on February 05, 2007, 06:45:24 AM
Nice update alek and nice to see you still use my stuff ;D
are you kidding me :D
Sorry dude, i messed up with my forum profile preferances, like most recent posts at top, so i thought that was the most recent update and that the most recent post was the oldest &ops
no Glenni :P
the are you kidding me was in reference to you saying "nice to see you still use my stuff"
You have made some of my all time favorite BATs and i haven't built a Urban area to date without using my favorite glenni BATs.
and about the region, meh i guess i the change to rural feels good, gives me chance to use some stuff i haven't in a long time and show something really different.
well thats to bad about your region but i'm looking forward to seeing the new one. and as for the bears, next year baby!
Sorry to hear about your technical problems. But I guess it can't be all wrong to turn the page to something else every once in a while. Good luck with your new project! Hope to see some pics as soon as possible.

This sounds great, can't wait to see it. I'm guessing the extent of your dominion as king probably extends to the woods and fields as well. What don't you do well, my friend?

Long live the King!
On another note, sorry about the Bears. I feel your pain- I'm a diehard Sox [linkie] (http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=cws) fan, and it was a mighty looooong time between World Series.
Be good (but we already know you will be, and more).

AK, let's not go there. (We could always try the lament of the Chicago sports fan: "There's always next year") I guess there's always next year.
Back on topic: I'll be interested to see the pics from your new rural region. That'll be a bit of a change from what you've shown us recently.
What a bummer about your region! It looked great. Can't wait to see your new more rural cities.

Hey AK... the issue you are having with the bottom of the City bitmap in region view isnt saving....
It used to be thought that this was caused buy SC4 not supporting (becuase of error) 1600x1200 resolution but infact... is that your system can not deal with that much detail and info at the higher resolutions... you are running out of Memory before the save image is complete...
I used to have this same issue... Now that I am runnning 4gigs I no longer have this issue..... it isnt a game bug... its a lack of system resources... sorry dude

yeah i kinda figured that was the root of the issue, that is why i have skimmed back my plugins a lot and am playing only med and small tiles, should fix the issue. The detail on that tile was sick though, ashame really. Thanks for the reply though makes tons a sense, kinda broke though so don't see myself goin up to 4 gigs anytime soon.
Edit and just so there is no debate, "wait till next year" is the official motto of the cubs.
Millions have been born, lived to be over 90, and during their entire lifetime the Cubs have not won a single world series. :'( &cry2 :( /sad¬¬ &mmm :thumbsdown:
Hey brother, I was really digging that region you were doing. It was a monolith in terms of just about everything.... too bad.
How about the Chicago Blackhawks? I've been rooting for them a long time now, and they just can't get it together.
You can't even really say "Next year" because that would be inaccurate. More like, "Next Decade... Maybe"
sigh.
actually you are right technically the hawks have the worst losing percentage, followed by the sox, then the bears then the cubs then the bulls, however the Cubs championship draught is truley historic, the way they tease you and still fail.
glad you liked the region before yeah it was absolutely killer, Large tiles are just too much, with the amount of detail i put in i guess. thanks everyone.
shame about the bowl guys but that first few second touchdown has gotta be a record or summit.... anyway im sure you will bring the kings style to the rural table so i cant wait...
i may hate the cubs but i have respect for cubs fans. lol.
i'm courious to see how you do the farms, if they're gonna be like the ones around here (squares or rectangles) or like other ones you see in cj's that are rounded and curving. i can't wait to see how you approach this new region!
you got it dude lotsa squares and rectangles ;D
Sorry to hear about the glitch problems you had, but I'm glad you were able to work around it. I can't wait to see what you're working on!
That's a weird problem. Well, hope you don't lose it completely. Out with the old, in with the new. Good luck with the new.
to clear the air all glitches have been resolved i think i just had way too much on one large tile. My experiment of having no repeats for commercial skyscrapers was just too much for my computer to handle (only 1gig RAM) Ashame because it was really coming along nicely. As stated before i have started a much smaller region, right now just 4x4 large tiles, rural with mountains, i am trying to develope half the map before showing pics, but so far so good.
Dude, get yourself a mainbox etc box... in the next month I will be getting a new PC... and wont need to 4gigs I have now... will have to fexEx them to ya....
or you can check out tigerdirect.. they have some pretty good deals... I picked up two 1 gigs sticks of corsiar GOld edition pc3200 800, for $200
I can't wait to see the new map.
I perfer smaller maps, it means the end is always in sight. And I have a huge problem with getting bored easily and moving to a new map and never finishing.

Sorry to hear that your commercial skyscraper experiment didn't work out, but no having any repeats in a big urban area seems like it would be quite cumbersome. But anyway, I'll be waiting to see what you've got in store for us with the new region!

I tend to have the same problem. Either I come up with a completely new idea that I want to try, or I run into some unforeseen obstacle and get frustrated.
I'm sorry...should've posted in here waaaay earlier than now. But this'll be something new for me. A rural AK region...I'm intrigued! Definately...can't wait for some pictures! I'm still trying to comprehend that gigantic mosaic...
And yeah, I'm sorry, but a Super Bowl where the high point of the entire game was the very first play...I was disappointed...

Now I know why I have not seen you for some time
You are crazy, a crazy builder, you know it ?
I thought you were only 'big city' master, but I was wrong, and I deeply apologize
( Do not quote that on legend thread, I will deny )
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Wow it's crazy !!!! Big screens for big city :thumbsup:
insane stuff. reminds me of Joliet and Romeoville and Bolingbrook (were i live, if you've ever been there of to those places". of course without the mountains though. lol. absolutely awesome. can't wait for more!
I was afraid that you had stopped building, and now you return with this... Magnificent! &apls
i will never stop building ;)
Awesome work. Bravo &apls
Impressive glacier!
Is the stream ploppable water?
Great small cities!
Hardcore urban. LOL Great stuff. Interesting street mod.
Have fun.

What else can I say, that your Hardcore Nature, exclusive to SC4 Devotion, became exclusively my background desktop ;D :thumbsup:
Viewing those screenshots made my day. Bravo! &apls
I'm impressed... making a transition from super urban to rural is a tough way to go, but you've done a superb job. I'll be looking forward to more.
Outstanding work ! May look weird but I love the glacier, and I like other stuff too. :thumbsup:
Wonderful pictures! Great rural towns! The last picture looks beautiful! Nice river! :thumbsup:
Awesome pictures, I can't beleive you created a city using mostly rail. Perfectly laid out, good heights to the buildings, very realistic. The nature picture is great as well. It's very cool to see you not only know how to create wanderful cities but you are just as good making scenic country sides. Great work, I always enjoy coming here. :thumbsup:
The nature shot is to die for.
Beautiful!
the Hk-venice city is really impressive ! like Rooker 1 said, a city with just rail !!! WOW-ing !
WOW! Those massive shots took a while to load, I'm not used to that. King of my MD, I hail you. But I really loved the OPPS in the HK-Venice city, saw Eric Claption once on TV and he lost it, fingers flew off the fretboard and a big cartoon OPPS was imposed on the screen. See, I've brought you to the level of a god.
For those that don't get the reference, back at the turn of the 70's, people were writing on walls, "Clapton is God." I think you have a good as grasp on this game as Eric has on the guitar. The different areas have themes, and there all different themes. Nothing is overstated, and the rural areas are superb. Seems like magic to me.
I know i said this on simtropolis but i love the hk/venice city it is INSPERATIONAL really i tried something simalier wasn't as good as yours but i'm still working on it
Love your work Tankmank
The King did it again, what a fantastic gigantic pictures, cities, canals, downtown, glacier, river, rural town, suburb.... YOU Rock Again, Sire. &apls
Wait a minute, Ak is doing rural stuff? It´s a bit confusing but all three cities look good as usual...
Did You find a solution to the El-rail capacity problem?
I´m having similar problems in my cities, so it would be interesting t find out if there is a reasonable solution to the problem.
Also I´ve found that whil playing with large tiles is fun, it eats away on the system resources...
I´ve experienced similar problems to the one You experienced both in SC4 which is currently lagging considerably and in CIV4 which actually crashed on me due to lack of available graphics memory.
Does anyone know what one should have in terms of memory and CPU to play the game smoothly at high resolutions and large maps?
As it is now my CPU is working at 95-100% constantly to handle the game...
this game is so demanding that if you have a large tile over 50% developed (half tiles have stuff on them) and over 1gig plugins performance will take a huge hit. my opinion is 2gigs plus ram is the key but sc4 will still eat your systems resources.
SC4 is ruthless in its use of system resources! lol
And most people (shooters) just give you that blank stare when you tell them SC4 will bring any rig to it's knees. "What do you see in that boring stuff?" I guess getting 100's of thousand people back and forth is just trivial for a cpu.

Hi Aleking ,
Glad to have some news from you ! :)
This regional view is terrific , the way you turn the large river to channels in the city , these beautiful mountains less abrupt than I use to see ... :thumbsup:
I would like closer pics now ; I love to see works in progress (IMO as interesting as the result ) . ;)
That is quite a lot of highrises you've put into a small area. Knowing how you usually build, I'm suspecting that the suburbs will be endless when they are done. I can certainly understand why this is taking some time to finish.
But don't worry, we can wait for it.
&apls &apls &apls
Eh, so what's the deal, AK? The usual incredible stuff, wonderful developed. You're in a rut, my friend.

Like everyone else, I'll be watching for more.

Great lookin region there AK. :thumbsup: Those mountains are particularly well done. Too bad there are so few, haha. Looking forward to more.

Everytime I see a new pic of you, I feel inspired.
I have a question however, because when I pack that much of DT appartments( like in the bottom of you pic ) and use streets I have major traffic issues, and I like to know how you solve that
LOL David, So does that make AK a BrotherGod or just God himself OMG lol
anyways AK that was ummm wow awsome simply put - pat
wooot alek you are indeed king! thats monster work!! after your venture into agri, and still impressed, i was thinking you'd stick to that for a while then you come back and do a Jordan return (http://www.nba.com/history/players/jordan_bio.html) to urban and man. its almost sickening. in a verrry good way. LOL what ever happened to your agri cities? :'(
You never stop amazing me. Out standing. I really like these regional pics, because you get to see everything. How things start and end.

Hello SC4D faithfull, I am finally going to bring it with a real update. I have been playing and have started a new highyl planned concept region. The concept an all rail commuter city. Obviously many sims will still drive to the train stations, schools, ect but the point being all jobs in the CBD will be accesible only via rail.
Neighborhoods will be segregated so that the sims living there will have to commute through neighborhood specific stations. I have also tried to offset all stations from the main rail lines. This is crucial as many lines have over 40,000 just in through traffic which would instantly overload all stations.
I have used a med tile for the downtown tile surrounded by small tiles. This is done to maximize the amount of neighbor connections without ahving more than one connection per tile and screwing up demand. Also thanks to the NAM sims from thee tiles over will commute via train to the CBD, with not a single no job zot in the region.
Final issue is that i am still looking for a way to increase station capacity. I am using a massive terminal station (it is huge) but i am still puching it over 400% of capacity :(

That's a major and absolutely incredible update, Alek. Figured you were up to something good while you've by hanging back. The concept is what makes great pics compelling ones (even the mirror-image one, LOL). It's hard to imagine the time, but even more, the thought that must have gone into this.
It's great to have you around 'thinking outside the box' for all the rest of us- I can't wait to see what's next.

Your work has given me more energy to build my own region. And excellent choice of custom content, espically tonkso and glenni, two of the best active batters at the moment.
Wow! Unbelievable, Alek! How do you get so many people to use your mass transit like that? 100,000 using the trains and 50,000 on the subways? That's insane! What's your population up to?
Don't think I have ever seen traffic views quite like that :thumbsup:
Impressive (as usual ;) ) &apls
These pictures makes me want to start a metropolis right now ¡¡¡¡ (Fortuntely I dont have the time :D )
Truly remarkable. The traffic networks are amazing. I can only echo what the others said. The tile where the sims mostly walk is something I have never seen before $%Grinno$%
Amazing. An idea like that some would say it's impossible. But not for you. I have a hard time getting my sims to even use the rail. The traffic views are incredible, I just can't believe you got that many sims to ride the rail. And the sims that walk to the station from so far is very strange.
Outstanding concept.

As for your station capacity problem, have you thought about re-building the entire system and routing half of the commuters into another station, or have each line terminate around a "central core?" London has numerous termini, as does Paris. Just an idea.
I'm looking forward to another update.

Well you've been busy haven't you. ;) I like the concept of an all-train commuter style, AK. Reminds me of that old scenario in SC3K where you have to build a town around a train system. No roads!

Hi Alek.
Glad to see you've decided to post your photos in a forum where fine work is appreciated (and newbies like me can find encouragement!).
Your approach to city planning, zoning and transportation is amazing, so I may have to copy your style when I get ready to create my CBD :P.

You may be interested in the seasonal god mode tree controller I'm experimenting with... Not sure if its even possible at the moment though. And I believe only summer and fall would work. But it would still rock. So don't get your hopes up, but you'll be welcome to test it if I do succeed.
I don't know if I asked, but do you have a mod that ups rail capacity?
The blend to urban to suburban is great and region is looking great too..but background (space) steals the colours or do you photoshop your pics a little? And the police helicopter on the stadium's parking lot was very nice "detail".
Haven't checked out your stuff for a while.. but it's still the best! :satisfied:

I can only add my voice to the chorus, Alek. You make SC4 jump through hoops most folks can't even imagine. It'd be great to see some more of your wonderful work.
