more updates soon
Welcome to the wonderful world of MDing tysonway. Looks like you have some decent development going on. I always like to see how people play on hilly terrain. A couple suggestions for you would be to turn off the UDI icons and remove the pause border (either by taking pictures witht he game unpaused, or by editing it out with an editing program) to cut down on things distracting from the picture itself. Also, turn off the grid ('g' key) unless you're using it to illustrate something. It makes the pictures much smoother and cleaner. Looking forward to seeing what else you'll have to show.
Ever thought about downloading a slope mod? It will make your cities look more realistic.
A great start otherwise.
I like hill building since it poses a challenge if you want do it decently. As graesloek suggested you wight want to download a slope mod to make everything look even more realistic. Seeing as the second picture represents "tha hood" it makes sense that there is a lot of dilapitation.
I like those suburbs on those hills :thumbsup:, and I agree with everyone else to get a slope mod, or at least terraform to smooth out the roadways.
slope mod? aight i gotta check that out, thanks for the info. ima try and get some more updates tonite. i been so busy makin music {my producer is rushing me lol}
well, you can find one here (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1512)

You're improving, but I think you need some more custom content.
Do you have the Network Addon Mod? It adds a lot of transportation options. The mod is overwhelming at first, so when I first got it, I installed it little by little. I would start off with this:
Diagonal Streets
Double Height El-Rail and Monorail
Custom menus
Alternative rail textures by dedgren
All roundabouts
All Turning lanes
Traffic Simulator Z High
Do you think that you can post a region view sometime?

sorry that i forgot to turn off that grid with the ugly yellow square line :(
but you get the idea. and i give credit to the person who did this region
of oakland, and SF area. this region is HUGE. and i had to crop the pic
a little bit cuz i use sc4mapper and the other areas are bright green.
but i will take care of that soon.

Heh, it's been a while! Oaktown is looking much more sprawly and flat.
Great to see you back! Your cities are coming together beautifully! Nice downtown night shot in your latest update!
Nice picture! I like the monorail usage, however I think you should work on the abandonment in your city, it doesn't look very eye-pleasing.
Nice looking suburban areas there can't wait for more

Here's a local beach near the downtown area. and to get rid of some of the confusion. these recent pics are really not oaktown lol. its oaktown south. its south of the main city. i just decided to put oaktown and all of its towns and suburbs {in this part of the region} in this post.
thanks again for ur comments. sorry if i cant get the best looking pics or plugins out there. i just dont have the patience to do all that haha. but i'll try my best. im just posting my cities on here for fun :] .
