Hi Manuel ,

I'm impressed as well .
A long time I didn't comment your work - not since the opening  of this new MD - , reminding me Daniel's (S.A.) one . Must be your reference . And that's one of the very best ones ...

Thank you guys for the very nice comments! :)
Today I'm gonna show you some pictures from one of my favourite maps. It's a low- and mid-density one. I especially like it because of all the 19th century buildings and the dusktrooper-appartements. And it's the first map I used the SAM from time to time. :D






Believe me, it's not easy to make all these different malls to grow... ;)


































I hope you enjoyed the update

Have a nice day

Manuel

 :o Awesome update! I would like to live in a city like this one! :thumbsup:
P.S. one question: where can I download these brown flats at the bottom of the 7th pic and those on the upper side in the last pic? (I hope you'll understand my explanations ;D)

Hello ManuelR

The variation of road surfaces in the first picture is nice.

I also like how the shopping malls grew in your second one. I don't use plops myself and end up deleting all the 'plops' from my landmark menu when they appear. There is something organic about how the game grows stuff and sometimes they grow right. Most often they grow wrong but what is wrong anyway?  I like the surprise growables provide.

The third picture down – I like the little park and what appears to be your use of the Cycledog base textures.

I also like the grab with the train carrying Sims to their days work. I've never used underpasses but your use of it here in this picture has me rethinking.

Your city is neat. Thanks for the peek.

Awesome!  Looks like someone is getting their use out of the new NAM!  Excellent FLUP by that rail line, and your curvy roads and highways are excellent! 

Nice work as always Manuel!

Best,

Those suburbs remind me of an old area in a city I used to live in that was really nice. It gives a "peaceful" feeling somehow.

and the lowrise apartment area in the 8th picture looks stunning as well. Very Nice development there.

Hey guys. Thank you very much for the nice comments on the last update! ;) :)

@io_bg: I don't know if you find them on SD also but I have it from here:

http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=339
http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=337
You can install it in english also I think.

@jmyers2043: Yes you're right, it's harder to get the buildings you want if you don't plop. But I think the game experience is much better if you play without plopping and I have alot more fun playing SC without plopping. :)



So guys, this is the last update on "old Valdivia". Afterwards some things will change, as I mentioned earlier. ;)
But now I'd like to show you some shots of a downtown area I built.










































Never thought that maxis buildings could be useful. :)











Thank you for visiting

Have a nice day



Manuel

Wow, fantastic cityscape!  I really like the avenues that follow along the waterfront.  Looks like you have a good mix of wealth classes too.  Nice work!   :thumbsup:

Very nice pics. I like the downtown, especially those low wealth flats. The nature pics a bit upper are nice too. Very charming.
