Jen's random cities....

[glepet]

Pretty neat update, Jen. I love your terrace work! 

[bat]

That "terrace-area" is looking very great, jen!

[Yoman]

While that is extremely impressive, you might consider getting a slope mod, I doubt a car can climb that angle

[thundercrack83]

Wow, beautiful! I love the "before-and-after" feel with the undeveloped zones, then the shot of them developed. Great job, jen_p!

[jayo]

Amazing  Like your zoning

At least it'll be a breeze to push-start your car.

Very nice terraced area. It wouldn't look out of place in either San Francisco or New Zealand.

I've gone off on a tangent again. I've started a new region with a new plugins folder. This time I haven't really gone for a theme, it's just lots of buildings that I like. Usually I play large sized cities, but this time, seeing as I will move it across to my old laptop I've been playing only medium sized tiles.

The first city, Moncreiffe gets off to a pleasant start:







Pretty soon the area starts to change:







An industrial area starts bringing more people in to the town:





Suddenly, the city is booming:









One of the oldest parts of town now:



Big business comes to Moncreiffe:



And finally, a bit of an overview. Does anyone want to shop at Nordstroms? My cities never grow just one of a building:

yey!!!!An update  Nice city.I would lover to see some more highrises 

[glepet]

As usual, another great update. I'm intrigued with that green highrise. Is that available somewhere?

[jen_p]

The green highrise is a commercial building by Bixel, available at ST.

Hopefully I will have some time later on today to post an update.

[thundercrack83]

glepet: Here's a link to that green high-rise you were looking for! Hope this helps!

I'll be looking forward to the next update, jen_p!

[jayo]

Ok.Nice update!Yes i know i've allready commented but were do get those marrast pieces that can be placed on embankments and form a bridge

The green highrise is a commercial building by Bixel, available at ST.

Thanks Jen_p for the info. Thanks Thundercracker for the link, but it didn't work for me. I did find it by doing a bixel search.

[jen_p]

Jayo, which embankment pieces are you talking about? If they're in one of the pics I've posted tell me which one, please.

I didn't get the update posted last night, obviously, I went out for dinner instead (good Mexican), but here it is now.

beautiful update jen! Very nice canal area, and Matt's houses look great next to the canals.

[rooker1]

Awesome update.  The canal looks very well placed among the rest of the city.  It looks like a nice place to live.

OK Jen that last update has won me out of the closet here....
Wow simply just stunning i so love the way you are using the canals and
seasonal trees awsome Jen i will be back for more and say more too LoL - pat

[nova vesfalo]

it's so LOVELY ! the canal makes the feelings as the building choise ! The matt house and the dutch (whatever it is ) building are coherent, like it and the mid rise are fabulous here (btw what are their names and where can I find it ? never seen them before...)

[thundercrack83]

Beautiful work, jen_p! Broadhurst looks amazing. I love the mosaic in the last picture, too! Keep up the good work!

[jen_p]

Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you all like it. I have had quite a bit of fun with this region because I haven't given myself any rules or restrictions. I usually have a framework that I work within ie. big American city, Adelaide suburbs, etc.

nova vesfalo, I think the buildings that you are referring to are the HK garden estate towers by Bixel. I may be wrong, and I'm sure someone will chime in with the correct name.

Here is a quick update from another city, called Langrish. A commercial area in front of various apartment buildings:



More commercial:





Police and Fire:



Commercial and residential:



Low wealth towers next to the tram line:



More residential:
