Now, this is what happens if you give your transportation department free hands...
Just consider getting from the upper right-hand corner of that picture to the lower left-hand corner... %confuso

Haljackey: Yes it's functional. All residential bats are growables. Thanks!

Time for another update. Caution: semi tech-shots ahead :P
What to do: Let's fix up this area and make it functional, so commuters can access their workplace on the other side of the bridge.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg162.imageshack.us%2Fimg162%2F7626%2F01iq8.jpg&hash=4da4d8a89e177b1d636698255a4387e460a7075f)
Now, as far as I know, subway is the only transit network that can give working access under bridges. Henceforth, let's build a subway line underneath the bridge, using custom lots so we can sort of hide the subway look and give it a more pedestrian street look.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg108.imageshack.us%2Fimg108%2F5626%2F02pv8.jpg&hash=6d13317bfae0a6a7037ef6004c32f4a262a0d2e1)
As you may notice, the subway lots blend in with the nam pedmal. I also used the lot resizing technique (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=68.0) to cover up the blank space underneath the bridge
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg261.imageshack.us%2Fimg261%2F4012%2F03sc5.jpg&hash=f01b623645d04dbd633aaa8b6029accfc96c92f1)
So, as you can see, it works :) People are using subway to reach their jobs on the other side of the bridge

Very interesting method you have used there! Looking great.
WELCOME TO PAGE 2!
Yes, it is looking very nice there (under the bridge and next to it)! :thumbsup:
Exactly ;D
But great method and "tutorial" too.
Excellent strategy, my friend! I love you've manipulated everything to make it work for you, truly brilliant!
I'll definitely be back to see what you've got for us next!
Dustin
Excellent tutorial there. Only thing I could suggest is to use a few more trees where the Ped malls weren't necessary (I know you can't LE them...shame).
looks great metasmurf.
Excelent tutorial, Very well made, it's a very good work. &apls
And excellent update for your city. It's splendid. :thumbsup:
fantastic tutorial, explained well cheer!
It can and I confirm very useful being :thumbsup:
thank you very much
Subways and pedmalls... my favourite way of reducing road traffic! :thumbsup:

Krio: Thanks. I'll try to do a few more turorials
thundercrack83: Thanks man. I have a few more aces up my sleeve, so stay tuned ;)
Yoman: Yes, that is an unfortunate thing about pedmals. Luckily, Microlabr (spelling?) is doing a mod that will make them look better.
dragonshardz: Thanks!
Earth quake: Merci! :)
warconstruct: I do hope it was useful :) thanks
RippleJet: Indeed. Tack så mycket :)

I'm not a big fan of Paris buildings in general ( just maybe related to the fact I have to work there ), but I do like your nightlighting pics
And the SFBT appartments pic => great
Well, too "plopped" and "lifeless". I don't like those towers next to Parisian buildings which seems to be plopped. Your lotting is good, but try to see what Badsim and Yoman have done ;)
Whoa, absolutely magnificent work here, metasmurf! Sorry for missing an update there, but I'm all caught up and can't wait to continue following along!
absolutely splendid this update &apls

Over and out from a cloudy Umeå, north Sweden :)
Great update, I really like the first picture. When I first had seen that library, I thought it was kind of funny looking, but after seeing it used in so many different MD's, it has begun to grow on me. A very modern looking building for sure no matter how unrealistic it may look.
I like the amount of parking you use, very realistic looking. And I love the use of Nob's GLR peices.
As I already said, the first pic is great.
Robin :thumbsup:
That city is looking very nice, metasmurf! Great work on the pictures! :thumbsup:
It looks lovely :)
Hello, my friend! Another excellent update!
I love that sunken GLR you've used, my friend! Where can I find that?
Dustin
Smurf wonderful update here and I hope to see more soon!!!

Just a quick reply.
You can get them here http://hide-inoki.com/~nob/lot_station.htm
Be sure to read the readme file. The pathing is a bit screwed up due to trains jumping over to the left side when entering the slope piece, but that's just a cosmetic flaw.
I just like that (photoshop?) effect in your cities :thumbsup: nice suburbs and great selection of buildings, keep on

Thank you,
metasmurf Very much appreciated, my friend! I'll be looking forward to the next update.

drooling.... &apls
I don't really like I'm sorry &mmm
EDIT: Can you expand on that, please? Constructive criticism is accepted, and even welcomed, but simple negative statements such as this are not. - Dustin (thundercrack83)
with some more terraforming it's can be better
Maybe with euro texture modd for your road it's can be better
EDIT: Thank you, Simpson. - Dustin (thundercrack83)
Congratulations, metasmurf!

Gah..IRL is a pain right now, but don't worry I'm still playing. :) I would like to thank the staff for picking my CJ to the special interest section. Off course, I would like to thank the rest of your for commenting. You make all hours of playing worth it ;)
Until next time, enjoy these ducks :P They're starting to show up, as the snow disappears.

No time for replies, sorry :( Anyway, thanks for your comments! :thumbsup:
I've been playing around with prop groups/families lately, and thanks to Ripplejet I was able to make prop groups with Erdmoebel's Berlin w2ws. Even though the textures arent perfect, they're good considering the fact that they were released back in 2004.
This is how it looks like in LE

I added two maxis storefront prop families for variation

That is a very intersting solution, I like it. :thumbsup:
Actually, I am quite the fan of those old houses myself, but I think they look better when mixed up with some more modern BAT:s. The fronts of the buildings are excellent, but the rooftops look a bit, well... "flat" when many of the are put together.
I must say I really enjoyed the city overview, too. Perhaps it's time for a region shot next? ;D
That looks splendid to say the least! And so does the Downtown overview! :thumbsup:
Great new work there on the LE! Also nice overview of the downtown! :thumbsup:

Variation is always good, especially with these blocks! Good work on your first families! :thumbsup:
Another good informative update meta &apls
nice to see you having success with prop families and you chose a great building to experiment with :thumbsup:
A question: What sidewalk modd are you using - I don't recognise it
or is it something special you did yourself? it looks amazing in that environment :thumbsup:
till the next time
:satisfied:

Smurf that is looking real great there!!! Any chance of it hitting the LEX or STEX by a chance? Great update as whole and I soo cant wait till the next one....
Hi Andreas ,
I have never posted about your work but I perfectly know it so I can't let that situation running ... your progresses are spectacular with this new MD and I love it absolutely ! :thumbsup: &apls &apls &apls
My only advice would be to use MAXIS props (static and animated) for Sims & crowds instead of these scarecrow looking figurines .... ::)
On my "To follow carefully" list ....... ;)
The building you used (Odd's Oranienburger Villa) is one of my favourites. Is it already from 2004? Man, time flies - that means my own city is already 4 years old... I like the setting that you created with it, although I prefer to make entire blocks of these, without the parking streets in between. The elevated S-bahn next to blocks gives is at a very realistic touch again! Also the night shot is very well made my friend.
And the down town overview also makes want to see a smurfing region shot. ;)
(he - this will kick you right into the bestsellers after the month is over...)
Nice work with the LE, metasmurf!
And congratulations on reaching 100 comments!
Dustin
