Mayor Defacto's latest prestige project; the city's commercial sector really only needed two. Critics mock it as a wretched hive of scum and villainy (and they would be right considering the pollution and crime that it generates lol)

Showcase Some shots of my region and next large city - Thalassonople

Thumbnail

54 Upvotes

I made a post a few days ago about my initial large city named Porto Virelli. Today I finished the last little portion (maybe barring a few more neighborhoods and suburbs) of it's twin city across the bay, Thalassonople

Byzantine/Greek inspired name, essentially meaning city on the ocean.

Really happy with how this turned out. Especially the neighborhoods and "affluent" regions (that unfortunately were a bit ruined by having to place essential services like hospitals and police departments but hey what can you do.)

Again, as stated in the previous post if you saw it, I tend to play as vanilla as I can. I use CAM, custom landscapes, and a couple custom buildings, but never mess around with NAM or anything super complex.

Also! A longggg time ago, like in March or something, I had posted an image of the blank region with nothing in it, and lots of people wanted the download but Simtropolis was down for a long time and I never got around to uploading it. If you'd like it, I still have a copy of the file!

Would love feedback and comments about the region so far! :)

I'm not too big on the NAM so forgive me for some of the "vanilla" looking roads and networks lol. Other than a couple mods and plugins, I like to keep it relatively vanilla.

This is the main city in my region, in which the suburbs and other smaller cities will surround it. I currently have two of those cities just starting out and they are currently in the works - but the main city center and most small residential areas in Porto Virelli are nearly complete

Feel free to share thoughts, feedback, and suggestions! Always happy to hear input

Working on the historic center of my latam city San Nicolás in the late 19th-early 20th century. Unfortunately the majority of the buildings are non functional landmarks. I will eventually demolish most of the city walls and only keep some pieces in a similar manner to cities like Campeche, Mexico

Hello! I was wondering where the UDI vehicle sounds (i'm specifically looking for the horns) from the Rush Hour expansion pack are located? I have not been able to find them in Sound.dat or EP1.dat, though i have been able to find nearly every other sound effect.

Played the Fidget Region that I uploaded for 100+ in-game years to see how far it can go:

https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/37631-fidget-region/

Deliberately split up the interior streets (later upgraded to roads) with bus/subway stations practically screaming at the smoothbrain vanilla commuters "I'm here, use me!", or if they still want to drive, force them onto the outer roads/avenues. Regardless of which transport type they like, oftentimes they shouldn't have to travel far anyway and can just walk into their office, since their residential dwellings and commercial workplaces are mixed together as seen in the zone view - not quite "work-from-home" but rather "work-next-to-home", which is close enough (pun intended)

At first the central city was exclusively for R$$$ sims, got up to 270k residential and 800k commercial population with stable albeit stagnant RCI demand and no abandonment. I lowered the taxes for R$$ and they flooded right in like a zombie horde, adding 1.2M+ residents and surging RCI demand across the region. Unfortunately that resulted in some of the R$$$ towers downgrading to R$$, and I started seeing R$$$ abandonment due to the I-HT that I had built in the outer cities to provide jobs for the R$$ horde: because of the I-HT bug, I-HT also creates demand for R$$$, but does not actually provide them with jobs

The game's soundtrack is iconic. Every now and then I'll hear a track in the wild that reminds me of it. Anyone else have any songs that would also fit the vibe?
