Yoshi City

[krnyoshi]

No matter what sim building I played (Simcity, Simcity2k, Simcity 3k, Simcity 4) I always named my city Yoshi City after my favorite dinosaur video game character. Here's my city so far. Revised every time there's a major update that makes it almost impossible to add it into my current city. I'm on sandbox mode because I just love building things without worrying about money.

Here's a residential area.

A view of the city, island town and island port.

The industrial area of the city. Lots of usage of ports.

With the highway update I didn't like too much how the highways cross over, so I decided to build a customized interchange to direct traffic. With no on/off ramps I also used one way roads to help sort of make a ramp feeling in my roads:


The city is a huge works in progress built on a huge map!

Wow that interchange - gorgeous! 8)

Thank you! It was fun to build.


Here's some updates on the city!

Another 4 way highway interchange built in another future development location. Traffic immediately started pouring in as this highway connects a major artery from one corner of the map to the city's industrial area:


Remember the screenshot with the first interchange made? The city has grown since then into a bustling metropolitan area with suburban housing!


Further down the highway leads to a more rural setting with farm land and lower density zoning.


The city's main industrial and power plant area:

Nice job. Your city looks very nice.

Thanks guys. My end goal is to not find out how many people I can pack into a map, but how nice and pleasing to the eye the map can be made. Here's a couple small updates:

The city's main highways and interchanges have been laid out on the map. Here's a preview of what I have so far.


Edited the geography some to spruce up the map! Added small streams and variating sized lakes.

Detailed terraforming needs creativity, passion, and most importantly, patience, as that would take some time. So it's best to be patient while terraforming the map, either small or huge.

As for Sedile and SH, they were terraformed before the update that features zonal water and land placement. And they took a lot of time to do them, but great in details. So that's why they looked beautiful.

Now for the collaboration projects, I recommend you to have friends playing with you, especially friends with creative ideas, because a collaboration project like what me and Matison did needs a lot of new things to be built in TheoTown. For example, the first homemade airport to be built on TheoTown by me, which is Sedile International Airport, and the first dam/water resevoir to be built, which is in SH. So you might need to express your imagination and creativity.

At least it's the first to be shown up directly, rather than being shown deep inside a topic. I can't find his airport at the time I look at his city

Bringing this post back from the dead! Ever since the new update I've been slowly revising my city's infrastructure. Work has definitely made this slower but here's a few progress pictures:


Changing a 3 way intersection into a mega intersection complete with exits to allow traffic to turn around. Here's the before and after:



Changed a major intersection into a massive cloverleaf intersection. Here's the before and after:



Some other intersections I revised using this awesome raised roads update:

The 1st one is a bit messy, but the rest is okay
