976, SeanSC4, TiFlo, scott1964: Thank you very much for the kind comments!

cubby420: Thanks. And you won't be disappointed, next few updates will all be city-updates.

nedalezz: I'm actually still working on the city. I have some demand problems and the city has already over 700k people, so it's being a bit difficult to play it and it takes ages to load...

I have a little preview for you guys, what you can expect in the next few updates. I'm currently making some tests with the new NAM.

I hope you like it, have a good week!

Fantastic! The new additions from the NAM and NWM look great here. Its nice to be able to construct avenues without the tacky and unrealistic looking lit divider. I'm looking forward to seeing how you utilize the rest of the NAM teams treats in further updates.

I hope you enjoyed the update.

Yes I have !

This update is fantastic Manuel ! I love how that stadium fits well with the other buildings. Also, nice last picture there on this page ! That estate looks great !

The NWM looks great in this setting.

[ecoba]

Looks great, my friend. I must also admit that the MAVE-6 looks great in this neighbourhood.

I'll echo the comments above mine - really nice use of the NWM! Looking forward to the full update!

[planetechef]

awesome, i still try to understand the new NAM  and all this new pieces, your 6 lines avenue is looking very great & it's a great realistic touch on your MD, well done
ps: it's also helpfull to watch how the other players use it  so thanks 

[sumwonyuno]

Heh, the NWM is awesome!   

The MAVE-6, being quite barren, actually fits quite nicely to that R$ neighborhood.

[Nardo69]

That teaser makes me miss my Sc4-capable computer even more! Great Ghetto atmosphere BTW!

Take care!

[Nanami]

planetechef: Thanks. You're not the only one, trying to understand the new NAM and NWM!;) I still got a lot of problems with it, it sure looks great, but it's hard to use.

I'm sorry I can't give you an update today, I'm very busy these weeks. Work, nice weather and soccer world championship made it impossible to play Simcity. I hope I can give you some updates the upcoming weeks!

[slinkyhead]

This MD is phenomenal, it's almost exactly what I would want my city to look like.  Thought the tennis courts on top of the apartments were interesting to say the least, not sure I'd be able to play on that the amount of balls I'd hit over the fence.

[i_love_lamp]

holy jesus! i love the bronx look you have to that

Now, after a long time I have an update for you! Downtown "New Memphis" is so far finished. I also downloaded a few new building (especially NYBT), and I changed to euro-asphalt sidewalk texture. Today I'm gonna show you some overview pictures, and in the next update I'm planning to show some close-up's.

Lets begin with a mosaic.  It shows the center of downtown moving from north to south. Sadly I had to plopp some buildings because I wanted everything to be right in place.





Now a picture showing the lower eastside. Typical for the eastside is the diagonal Jefferson-Avenue. It devides the commercial district and residental areas in the east an north.



Now we move a little northways along the Jefferson-Avenue. As you can see, the legendary Waldorf-Astoria is the only tall building on the east of Jefferson-Ave. The view from the rooms must me amazing.


Now we are in the north of downtown. At the corner with the "New Memphis Mall" is one of the biggest traffic junctions of New Memphis. Thousands of cars are passing this junction on the end of Jefferson-Ave daily. In this picture you can also see the two biggest city parks.


Let's move a bit to the west. On the northern and western ends of downtown lots of big apartment highrisers grew. They are a big part of New Memphis' 700'000 inhabitants. Next to the residental highrisers is the court of the city and another nice little city park.


As you can see there are also lots of apartments buildings west of downtown.


Now we have finished the tour around downtown by arriving to the Harbor-Freeway.

I hope you enjoyed the big update. More to come soon... (promised)

[io_bg]

Whoa! That's one dense and busy downtown! (similar to mines ) You've done a great job! I like the huge stadium and the elevated highway! Bravo!

[Cyclone1001]

OMG!

How do you do it? You make me want to live there.

[Connor]

WOW 

I'm speechless. Everything in that update is brilliant!

The buildings, the stadium, the roads, the lotting and all the little details. Incredible work! 

[ecoba]

Wow, wonderful work here, my friend ! I really like the way the avenues cut through the city, very realistic. The density is also very nice, and when you reach the large parks, it is just such an amazing change!

The Euro Asphalt Mod really makes your city look good, it was a good addition to your plugins, most definitely !
