Hello...
Lately, I've been getting bored of Llithustania, and feel the need to
create a more promising side-project unlike Llithustania's territories.
I've chosen one which has been been deemed by many and seems a
bit repetitive, but hopefully it will be interesting still to many of you.

Here is my new side-project idea while my interest for Llithustania is
replenished...

Selbring City.

2 past updates I have made on Simtropolis...critique as you wish!

Update : 1

 New Side-project Selbringbannerintro

Downtown Selbring City
Selbring City is a town of despair and always has been from the start. A
city shadowed by it's poisonous atmosphere and it's heavy
industrialization, it is truly a deadly wasteland in which people risk
their lives for money.

And in downtown, dawn is approaching and the yellowish haze is beginning to settle over the city yet again.

Linky for better view of the first picture

 New Side-project Selbringindustrialfoto
The City's lights cover vast distances, small amount of cars travel on
the streets, where danger lurks in the distant alley shadows.

Linky for better view

 New Side-project Poisonousselbring

 New Side-project Selbringindustryfoto2
Selbring's Morning brings nothing but the yellow haze and a small crowd.
People slowly start their day, getting prepared for another grueling
day of hard labor, exhaustion and suffocation under the poor conditions
and worn down factories and warehouses.


Update : 2

 New Side-project Selbringsfireydisaster
Welcome back to the Hazardous Wasteland known
as Selbring City. Where the millions work, eat and choke on the air, and
where the air is also known to suddenly burst into to flames and where
the streets will occasionally leak gases and waste material. This is no
place for you, or anyone for that matter, but since they need the money,
they've been confined to a city of ignored condemnation.


Today
a fire has ravaged the ravenous hell-like city, as a gas main on 56th
Street burst and leaks from the gutters of the sprawling metropolis.
Some people have fainted across the paths and in the middle of roads due
to this poisonous gas. Then a local tenant decides to smoke
outside...then at that moment, the street set alight, causing a massive
fire to rage upon the apartments and the trees and the cars...

This crazy event is stop by an attempt from the Selbring City Fire
Department, and stupidly enough, don't even bother to get closer to the
fire. Its a terrible city alright, even its inhabitants


Thanks for viewing, and keep an eye out for the next update  New Side-project 2
Thanks Again!

 New Side-project Selbringbannerintro
Welcome back to the City of poison, it has been actually 8 days since acid rain had struck the town, luckily it didn't last and did minimum damage. You know not all districts in the city are dirty and old, in fact some areas a 'Shinning beacon' of wealth, and occasionally, Oppression. Many are intimidated by these areas, where most are not allowed within 20 feet of the building, and there'd always be complaints and even violence in these areas. But today is just a simple and normal day, where the sky is yellow and the factories blow out carbon dioxide. Yep. Today is Oh'so normal. Here's another update to 'die' for in this god forsaken wasteland. Here we are at Selbring North.

 New Side-project 6045467268_1cc93b0aa2_z
Today we visit the highly anticipated district of Selbring North, where most people are intimidated by some of the local businessmen and architecture. This town was always a poor and yet somewhat a goldmine for the unemployed, but everyone here was very well underpaid. You'd have to be really desperate to work here.

 New Side-project 6044919373_eddd794b07_z
But there are upsides, nearby there are a few fast food restaurants, almost all parts of the city harbor these in-expensive heavenly delights.A Subway here, a Taco bell there, and a McDonald's almost everywhere...

 New Side-project 6044918967_16391f68b9_z
Implied many times, factories line the city in the most bizarre locations, your backyard, that old basketball court and even on the other side of that bedroom wall! I wasn't kidding when I meant that this place was a toxic nightmare. A noisy wasteland if you would as well...

 New Side-project 6044920867_6127bea80c_z
One of the more intimidating yet prestigious structures here are the Auburn and Greene Associates tower which stand as the more dominant towers in the city, towers like these are scattered everywhere in this city. No rules against structural height, no restrictions, none at all.

 New Side-project 6045468824_f60243f0ab_z
It's nightfall and the most intimidating and yet prized building in Selbring North is the Selbring County Times. Such a beautiful modern structure doesn't belong here, and yet, the idiots at the Selbring County Times thought is would be nice to build in the city rather then in the cleaner outskirts.

 New Side-project 6044919817_b813402394_b
The owner of the company is wealthy, in fact his family is one of the most despised people in the City. This building is the representation of their wealth, some who wish they'd have that life rather suffering badly for a better one then their current. Standing tall in the entire city, immensely tall amongst a dwarf of apartments and fast food eateries.

 New Side-project 6045469154_5ea642a2b8_z
Here in this neighborhood is yet another factory, also part dwelling for many who can't afford to be a tenant in the more higher standard (But still sub-standard) housing which surround them.

Thanks for viewing folks!

Thomas, the ones I used are actually the European road mod, no change whatsoever! There might be a couple of things in effect (not sure what) but it's pretty much the standard Euro Road mod... Cheeky/Razz

PS. I don't like switching between road mods, cause it's really slow on my old laptop Cheeky/Razz

 New Side-project Selbringbannerintro
Welcome back to another part of Selbring! Here in this update i'll be covering the outskirts of this mega industrialized city. This district is under the label Senter Lake. 'Take a deep breath' cause this'll probably be one of the only few areas where Selbring doesn't smell like rotten eggs and eggs, smoke and all those other bad smells and things that make Selbring's air quality, world renowned for its poor quality and something that anyone can suffocate breathing...-_-

 New Side-project 6063438528_339df8019e_z
Now it's evening in the developing city which brought you heavy industrialization and an even worse air quality than Los Angeles. This area is Senter Lake, one of the cleanest areas in the city. Don't get me wrong though, it's still a terrible place to live!

 New Side-project 6062886773_5a474334c3_b
Senter Lake is one of the areas of the city which sit firmly aside a busy freeway, awaiting desperate outsiders in need of a job with minimum wage, hard labor, and poor conditions. Yes. Hell starts here.

 New Side-project 6063436772_2accbfd27c_b
As the day starts out in this area, people immediately get out of bed, a day here starts fairly quicker then any other city district in Selbring County. It's just how it is in areas with a better air quality.

 New Side-project 6062894385_d627fce524_z
As for the highway, you can tell that it's not so busy, or whatever you call that mess of road. Exit to Selbring is right there...Which side would you want to be on?

 New Side-project 6062893373_c66f5a3fe1_z
Out here, parks and farms are a common site, its beautiful isn't it? I mean for this city, people don't know what a real park looks like...Cows are also a wonder here, sometimes they'd drink poisoned water, then the cow is used for beef, then cause a mass wide death streak across the United States. Yes, when someone is poisoned by food, you know that beef is from Selbring.

 New Side-project 6062892295_e9d54e4d06_z
House by house, building by building, squeezed together, this is utterly the same thing downtown, except here you got a small wood apartments. Here in Senter Lake you only find a couple of factories like this. Large manufacturing factories are not common here, but there are still a few.

 New Side-project 6063439650_48113acc71_z
Beautiful isn't it? Wonderful Houses and a wonderful park that you can stroll in. Stroll in do you think?

 New Side-project 6063437784_dae25d7123_z
Here is the city park, and a baseball field. After years, the lack of maintenance has finally taken a toll on the park and field. Tree's are literally everywhere and grass and weeds are springing like crazy. No one here volunteers to work here on the park, I guess most people don't like gardening here.

Resized to 79% (was 1024 x 165) - Click image to enlarge New Side-project 6174039907_ec9f29f4ca_b

Welcome all again to another update on America's
worst place to live. We are here now in the districts of Vallence and
Felicity in town in Selbring. Vallence is an area which is covered
vastly in Industrial factories (Not that the city isn't full of it)and
is the Main Power Core of the City. Felicity is the opposite, and is the
financial heart of Selbring, with progressing high-rises and
construction afar, and covered in residential abodes and commercial
hotspots. This still doesn't increase the image of the city, but in
other matters, these two place are called the "Choking Twin cities,"
both who are killing each other in its indifference. Then again, the
entire city is suffering.

Resized to 79% (was 1024 x 768) - Click image to enlarge New Side-project 6174039871_9ce7e6b19d_b

Vallence is full of factories, all bordering each other closely with no
accounts of who's space is who's. Here they process and store coal which
is distributed across the county to people who order and to the rest of
United States. The CEO of this company doesn't care about the factory
being so close to the Nuclear Plant, he's just in it for the money, not
to worry about the well-being of his employees.

Resized to 79% (was 1024 x 768) - Click image to enlarge New Side-project 6174039695_7922d8fa33_b

Here in Vallence, the one thing here that is Oh so memorable is the
Nuclear Power Plants. Since it's a danger to the entire city, it's
placed on the edge of Vallence where it is no harm to the people. (Yeah,
right.)

Resized to 81% (was 998 x 1024) - Click image to enlarge New Side-project 6174565458_bd2a90dc07_b

Just East of Vallence is Felicity. This area is the more low rise area,
which harbors a small variety of stores, abandoned factories, and the
sewage plant.
Yep, blame the Zoning Commissioners and City Board for placing it there, yes, this county is very corrupt.

 New Side-project 6174039303_182fc1ccda_b
In the more central zone of Felicity is the Financial Area, which holds
the main office buildings, future sites of company headquarters who are
stupid enough to establish here, and Stores from as far as the I can
see. If you were here, you'd be jumping with joy, it's a haven here
sometimes. Safer, Enjoyable, slightly cleaner air and an economical
paradise. You can earn a lot here if you have the right stuff.

Thanks for viewing, and keep an eye out for the next update!  New Side-project 1

I've been holding on to this side-project for a little over 3 months, with no real updates, but now I've decided that it's time to unleash my real skills in building African Countries. Here's the first update I made on Simtropolis on the Federated States of Gurivia.
*I'm still tweaking some of the countries basic and political references and the flag which is not exactly top quality*


Welcome to the great Gurivia, a country of endless deserts to the South, and an coast and river filled eden to the Mediterranean-African North. This country is not he wealthiest of Arabic nations, but people here still manage to build beautiful cities, and due to the discovery of oil reserves found in the Central part of Gurivia, things could just be turning around for a country new to Democracy after a successful revolution. In this first real update I will be focusing on some areas around the capital, Touraan City in the state of Presosud. But before you have a look at the update, take some time to browse through some of the Nations basic information...so you know a little more about Gurivia.



 New Side-project Image
Welcome to Gurivia

 New Side-project Guriviafactfileandstatemaps
* Yeah, The Country has an association to Llithustania :whatevs: *

Current National flag * maybe tweaked in time Cheeky/Razz *
 New Side-project Thefederatedstatesofguriviaflag

The City of Touraan is located on the North end of the Country, where the land is a lot more lush and forested as the area has access to an expansive amount of water. Living in Touraan is more the lifestyle of middle-class and high-wealth citizens, and with the plans of turning the City into a bustling Modern society like Dubai and Abu-Dhabi, it may only look better in the later future, but will push over those who have little to spare.

 New Side-project Alhubaibannerintro
Alhubai is one of the few growing financial centers in a series which will meet sooner or later, in the developments of the city. The crazy mixtures of high, medium and low wealth residents are scattered around these areas. Future plans secure the lower wealth areas doom as they will be removed from this expanse of city.

 New Side-project Alhubaimosaicday
New high-rises begin to dominate the skyline and in a few years, will be a lot more than it is now.

 New Side-project Alhubaibeaches
Like in most areas around Touraan, almost every part of the city touches water and with that water filled coast, there's usually a sandy beach. But since this part of the city is touching the bay that it encircles, most of seems to be composed of grey sand and some rocks. So these areas are usually for sunbathing at when tourists are about.

 New Side-project Alhubaimosaicnight
By nightfall, the city remains to be quite as beautiful as it is in the day, buildings being illuminated and lighting the dark. And evermore plans ensure that this still quite dark downtown will be as bright as Hong Kong during the evening.

 New Side-project Alhubaimosaicwestevening
Meanwhile, west of the main downtown area, the lower rises of the city cover the west arm of the city. This area is seperated from the main part of Alhubai by a moderately large expanse of water which connects the bay to the Mediterranean Sea.

 New Side-project Alhubaiwestmosaic
By morning, West Alhubai can be seen better, clearly seen in this picture are the vast shopping complexes and markets, and in the background, a tall office standing free, dwarfing other structures, a tower thats part of a chain of towers which will be built here West Alhubai. It's time they embrace the future.
