Yeah that makes sense. But we have theeeeese!

And I kinda want to slap them in my subburbs! haha Or if I was feeling particularly evil...

Here is a brief glimpse of the 85,000 strong Modtopia:

As you can see there's a big focus of High-Rise buildings in the Northern area (the far North is the airport), and also a large contingent of Commercial/Offices in the South. Most of the Industrial exists around the airport and across the river, however my city has now caught up to the initial industrial area which has caused some issues.

A closer look at the currently expanding area in the South. You can see the initial suburbs in the middle of the city remain. Some points of interest include the building in the foreground (this is the medical centre), the Tallest Building in the centre background and the stadium left background.

Here's a shot from the area aptly named "downtown". Traffic is not so much a problem here, due to a better road network, better public transport (you can see everyone leaving the Metro in the picture) and also free public transport around this district. Perhaps the best area of the city thus far.

It's not all glitz and glamour, the Industrial area initially has been surrounded by newer buildings, and traffic connecting has got somewhat out of hand due to initial poor planning. However it's something I've improved in the most recent update.

There's still a place for the smaller buildings and the more "townly feel", ofcourse, as this suburb suggests. Having plenty of space and greenery was a priority here; it seems to have gone down well also. Very few issues appear in this area.

And finally, Mod HQ: Where the magic happens. I also have a special Man Cave on the 11th floor which none of the other mods have access to. It has a pinball machine and everything. That won't mean a lot to everyone, but to one very special person it'll mean the world. On the exchange between the farming village and the Commercial area sits this impressive piece of enginerring; you can also see a number of tractors and very narrow buildings pop up here. It's this attention to detail which I enjoy.

That's just a small taste of the city; there's more to come but I hope you enjoy your stay!

This is literally the best.

10/10.

My city is too pitiful to post right now but I'll post some screens when I'm happy with it.

You are too kind Ultra! There's a lot of things which I've learnt from this, like I mentioned above, which I'll take and improve for the next city.

Nice post guys. When I get a city built I will post mine.

Cone what mods do you use?

no no no!

Post your city now so we can see how it evolves! Grow WITH us!

Great city! Way better than my current efforts. Definitely a game where you learn by failing. My first City barely lasted a year or so before it was bankrupt hahaha.

My current city has done much better, (it's at "Big Town" stage) however, as with yours, I've quickly found that the game punishes you heavily for poor initial planning. Man I've not been into a Sim game like this as much in so many years.

Has anyone played banished? I wanted to know how this game compares? I really enjoyed banished.
