Updates & Media

Just informing that there might be problems with my activity due to intensive downtown rework. This is part of the pre-FullMembership Improvements Program, this is step 7/8 and is the most complicated one. I've decided to expand the city for roleplays and when the thing is done, the city will be supposed to look like a 16 Million people metropolis. Don't worry, up to 36 skyscrappers were downloaded (only in the period of 2 weeks before this start in addition to other non-skyscrapper buildings - Like train stations, police and fire depts, and urban content), and there will not be massive repetition of landmarks (actually, only maxis content and non-landmark custom content will be placed more than one time.), as well as I will also focus on giant suburbs like the one you saw on the first update. Special minor areas of the downtown will bring interesting details, like a French and an Asian district (more than 35 for these) as a big city always atract people from many parts of the World.
Demolition of some outdated areas as well as terraforming work:


As you can see above, the terrain was very irregular, and there were almost no planning on the inner streets, since they were built on May, when I just applied for Jr.Membership.


This gives an idea of how the inner streets are going to look like...


Here's the kind of problem that will be corrected


The same place, with a base correction.


No mercy to massive repetition. Also the new buildings will be protected as monuments, keeping a control of growth.


Region View Correction/Expansion Plans. Note that the region you see above was generated on the SC4Terraformer, and is very (VERY) large, contains the whole Atlantic Federation and in the near future you'll be able to see other cities near the capital. There are actually other small cities spread and connected around the Region, including the other 2 capitals, still work in progress.

Taking the opportunity, Im announcing that a new minor country will try to be recognized, and it will bring many French elements to the CJ (Not a second country - It will be a minor republic inside the Federation like the 3 current ones, and it will still be under the rules of the Federal Capital, making it as relevant as an autonomous state for the AIN. The Atlantic Federation will still respond for this country like it does with the other 3, and it will participate on international events as part of the Atlantic Federation and not an independent one. Not a dependency, not a second country, just a division of an already existing one. Still under the power of a major federal government.)

33 New Buildings just for this one btw.


It may turn challenging in the next days, but when the job is finished, not only me, but the AIN will have a big metropolis that can be brought to spotlights in the big "InterUnion" helping AIN to awake the interest of Unionless SimNations.
You might want to recommend some mid-size commercial buildings, and urban utilities that you would like to see or you think it would fit great there.
Thank you for your attention
Thanks Blakeway for lots of suggestions and for beeing of great help these days

Once this is done, I will apply for FullMembership.

Thanks for your time !
