Durfsurn's CA - Tywei and Surrounding Areas
« on: November 03, 2012, 07:21:08 pm »
This is my CA copied from my Simtropolis feed will be updated every now and then.

Update 1: Finally an Update!

Today we have a look at our starting to be port town. It is called Tywei West as it is west of where the future CBD of Tywei will be. Here is what I started with (I did the terraforming):



We will start development on the North Bank:



As you can see I started laying out the streets and the small dock. After some quick zoning a time passing development has shot up:



After some more zoning and time passing:



Some farmland:



To finish off the short first update we have a look at the planned area for a bridge to span the river (yet to be named. Here at a street T-Intersection:



Thanks For Reading the First Update of Tywei.

Looking good - I think it is going to be really cool to watch your cities grow. I look forward to seeing what you do with this. :)

Update 2: The South Bank

Today we focus on the suburbs of Tywei West (I know i said East in the previous update sorry!) on the Southern Bank of the Finalleh River (thanks Sim_Link for the name, if you haven't already check out his new CJ). Here is the bridge I decided on a nice small stone brick road bridge:



I laid out a small road plan dividing the bank into sections:



Next the secondary streets go down in nice curves and diagonals:



Some zoning and small development (sorry about the pause border reminds me to get that border remover mod):



Now with the zoning done there was a nice small plot backing onto the beach. Instead of putting a row of beach houses I decided to make a park/beach. Here is the plot:



With some railway stations and beaches:



Finally finished off with a couple of plaza's and green plots:



Thanks for reading and don't forget to go and read Sim_Link's CJ. I leave you with an action shot of the yet to be named South Bank suburbs.

Update 3: Off to the Airport and Out ot the Mountains!
[/font][/size]

Hello everyone,
This will be a 2 part update in Metropolis an area off the the East of Tywei. In part 1 we have a look at the small international airport (Metro International Airport (MTINA)). The recently expanded airport houses many 747's but mainly serves smaller planes. The 747's are in the Southern Terminal (B) and the smaller jets are at the Northern Terminal (A). Serving the airport for parts and maintenance is the Airport Industrial Park just south of the M-121. Along the sides are many small hotels and motels. Here is an overview, feeding the airport from the city centre is the M-13 a full RHW-10, and has a peculiar interchange with the aforementioned M-121 another RHW-10.



This is Terminal B:





This is Terminal A:



And this is a small peek at the industrial park:



DISCLAIMER: I was not going for a realistic airport so don't be too critical okay!

And now to the Mountains! Today we are laying out the planned route for an ARD-3 up Craggy Mountain. It will be mainly be 2 lanes on the right as a trucking climbing lane but every now and then it'll be NRD-4 for overtaking going down. But right now it is just road as a placeholder. Here is the mountain now:



We are going from the Eastern edge to the flat mesa on the East side. Here is the road layed out without smooth curves or lanes:



And with smooth curves:



Thanks for reading today. Don't forget to give me some feedback and have a nice day. Next time we travel South of Tywei to the bustling suburbs of Winton. See you there!

I quite like the airport - not everything needs to be realistic. Sometimes we need to play just to have fun. :)

Hello all and sorry for the lack of uploads lately. I have had abandonment troubles in the city so I built up a neighboring tile to feed into Winton but that's another update. I start off with the current region map. Quickly done in MS Paint so its not the best but soon I'm going to get Inkscape.



So first here is an overview which took many CTD's to overcome to get:



Here is Winton stadium soon to be redeveloped (please show me what stadium to put in its place with roughly the same size):



A closer look at the large mall including a K-Mart and Walmart:



This is one of the busiest places in Winton - Market Circuit! Every second Sunday there is a large market inside the ring.



This strip of houses fronting the A-131 (TLA-7) with the red brick roads were the only part of Winton but it grew. One thing changed though - Red Brick streets were out and asphalt was in:



And this is the asphalt street area with some FAR intergration:



And these are 2 pics of the local termini of the Tram line running through Winton which in next update we will expand:





Thanks for reading see ya next time

Update 5: A sneek peek at the Global Hub!
[/size][/font]

Hello everybody,

Today we go to the largest city in the region so far (As seen on the far right of the previous Regional Picture)- Metropolis. With over 205,000 people calling it home it is a contained upward growing city with the Metro International Airport just north-north west. Also it does have a smaller airport for connecting flights coming from the big airport and regional and local flights. It isn't the capital because I wanted to plan that city along with you guys based around other things but that's for another update. We are developing the South West of the city. It is split into 4 main parts; Split up by the M-1 (E/W) and the M-4 (N/S). This particular quadrant has the A-223 (N/S) and the M-224 (E/W) and they meet at a rather large cloverleaf interchange taking up a sizeable chunk of the quadrant. It is needed though as after it was put down over 6000 cars and trucks were taking the M-224 West and turning Right onto the A-223 going into the City. Here is the area we are focusing on today. (As you can see some zoning from a previous venture didn't develop as well)



First we zone this area south of the interchange.





Then we go North-East for the next phase:



And to celebrate the new development some developers have built a skyscraper housing over 5000 people (I didn't plop this it grew all alone after about 5 minutes of waiting for it to grow :P)



Thanks for reading this shorter update and don't forget to leave a comment!
