 Wow, this MD is looking superb

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.

flyingbird93 - Thanks! The seawalls are here.
Simpson - Thanks for your comments.
bat - Thank you. Welcome!
tragicomicus1 - Thanks you, and welcome! I am beta testing the curved roads, the avenue ones are from the NAM.
threestooges -Thanks, welcome. Well, they make very little power, only 2 times of the Maxis ones, so they are almost to full capacity.



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.

The city lies between two large cities. The two cities population combined is around 200,000.. Or so I hope (when I complete them).

The city with no development,


The freeway that connects the two cities commences the construction,




The freeway is now complete,


(Here is where I forgot to cover the fact I am still making it...)




Local drivers requested a little rest stop, here is a construction,






Some completed shots,






Now it is up to you to decide the fate of this wonderful city.

Enjoy,

Decide the fate of the city, huh? Howabout you blow up the trees along the coast and build a container terminal...?

The other thing I suggest (more realistically) suggest is to add some flora to the riverbanks to make the transition less... blunt...

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

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,
Karin

That's a really nice small town there!
Good nature pictures there! Also nice work on update 5!

[threestooges]

Decide the fate of the city? I don't know... I'd kind of like to see more of it before making such big decisions. Nice progress shots of the rest stop construction. I hope to see more around here when you have it ready.

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?
keep up the awesome work,

Lach

Hey, love that highway through the woods! Just lovely. And those construction shots are quite impressive as well. I hope to see more of this

[Nexis4Jersey]

I like the rural highway construction site running through the forest

[kbieniu7]

I think this is excellent place for huge steel industry works Joke, this nature should be protected by national park
