It's not really a suburb but...



Lookie. I was finally able to do it. Three rows of Marina Residences all growable. I actually was able to do this about a month or two ago, but it was only now that I was able to play the game, photograph the picture and show it here :D.

Yep, I still got it.

 ??? Hmm... You might want to let that city designer know what he did here.  %wrd Also, you could've posted this in the Game Oddities thread instead of here. Still, pretty odd... :D
Don't trust the teapots. It's dangerous!

It's no oddity. It's pure patience ;). I wanted it to look like that and it took me more than four months to do that.

Marina Residence is very hard to spawn in-game... at least for me. There's this other 3x3 lot that loves to spam and so, seeing other 3x3 is very rare. Anyway, that other 3x3 lot is so easy to spam that you could do it in one gaming session so doing this is a major accomplishment for me ;D, since I thought I was never gonna finish it :D.

Why didn't you just plop it?

Anyway.. great looking pictures everyone  &apls

frdrcklim

Plop gives me the fake feel :D. And I think ploppable Marina Residence got no occupancy.

Jeffersonville- A suburb of Megatropolis

Eliteforce, I noticed traffic lights at every road intersection in the middle of the neighborhood, but hardly any traffic. To not get stuck at the light all the time, Dedgren made new road x's and t's without the traffic lights at every intersection in the three rivers region thread in case your interested.

I shall have to check this out, even though I don't pay much attention to my suburbs.

Neofita - GREAT urban sprawl, just can't believe nobody has commented on that before now.  I love a great SC4 suburb and that is a GREAT sc4 suburb  :thumbsup:

CalibanX - That is a pleasant looking place to live - very green and leafy.

Looks indeed very nice Caliban  :thumbsup:

Alright CalibanX. First off all, thats great use of side street curves, but you know that. That picture or Rock River to me is the most realistic suburban street layout I have ever seen in the SC4 world.  :thumbsup:
In your first pic though, I will have to ask why that RHW merges down to two lanes before the light at that diagonal road x avenue intersection by that clinic.

calibanX

Thank you for the great compliment j-dub. I appreciate that.

As for your question, that is an awkward intersection. I struggled with that for longer than I care to admit here in public. The problem I have is the RHW divided highway intersects with the diagonal Maxis road on one side. On the other side I have a Maxis avenue coming in from Downtown. They don't like each other and won't attach themselves to the diagonal road if either is already attached. I had the RHW divided highway run across the river into Downtown, but then there are no possibilities for intersecting them at all. My dilemma, where to put the awkward intersection?

Now you've got me thinking again. I'm gonna get my hardhat and start up the bulldozer.

So you can't have the avenue cross the road intersection and then have the avenue turn into the RHW?
