Nerding Out: My Sim City "San Juan Bay"

May 22, 2010 02:26

Greetings fellow nerdlings, I have some photos from my Sim City game. The map is a replica of the real Seattle Washington Region and I put my own spin on it using the tools in Sim City ( Read more... )

Yeah, you're a nerd, but I enjoyed reading it. Keep the San Juan Bay stories coming!

Will do! that H&M is Up and Running in San Juan Bay! You know you want to be a Juanito. LMAO!

Hey, if I can get a great job in the San Juan Bay media industry along with a fabulous loft with skyline views, I might consider relocation from New York. Lol

That's just awesome. I'm really impressed.

I love your narration too. See, your geography is way more interesting than mine. How do you plan all these transit networks and make space for them? I can't bring myself to bulldoze anything. I love your giant graveyard! I hate having to place those things all randomly as people ask for them. Do they benefit their surrounding buildings?

Seriously, keep posting these :)

Mark, I use a lot of mods. A LOT. Like, if you look at the picture of the walled in neighborhoods I posted here, you'll notice at the intersection there is a little blue or white thing that looks like a bus shelter? That is a bus/subway stop that lays over the avenue. That way, no other buildings are impacted by taking up valuable real estate while still functioning as a passable road. This helps tremendously because those pretty much can go anywhere, except steeper slopes. The only downside is that (only)residential shows a no car "zot" because it blocks it from the street and "may" not develop the green residential zone. Otherwise commercial and industrial are perfectly ok.

Also how I get the cool regions: I downloaded this program called SC4Mapper. It can be from here, although I can't figure out how to download it at the moment. Normally there is a little link that say download... maybe you have it showing on your browser? Once you download that you can go and search through simtropolis for maps and there usually is ( ... )

Did you make the map template itself, or just do the city?

incu_jess May 23 2010, 05:26:09 UTC

no, the map was a download. I don't have the patience to try and learn that terraformer program, nor go tile to tile and make it the way I want... I'll leave that techie stuff up to you and Mark. LOL!

Righton. The map itself looks really accurate to the geography of the region.
