Jiapia - Region

Sy · October 30th, 2011, 10:59 PM

After the sad death of my old region I have finally begun it's replacement.

Here is a region view. The biggest city on one tile (bottom left) has just gone over a million sims. The city above it was a million com job city but I decided to recently rebuild it so it's mainly green at the moment until I can get it finished. I've also started work to make defined cities with clear suburbs around the edges. My aim is to ensure the tile boundries cannot be seen.

Some shots from around my region:

My 1 million city, Spring River. It's commercial district.

Where the rich and famous live in Firestone Valley!

My only custom airport in the region.

The wind farm took forever to shape!

The largest port city in my region:

Rumours are the Coral Bay volcano may rumble again soon!

nice city. your custom airport's north side needs some height restriction though (for added realism). and hope that volcano won't blow up too.

Ok a small update. I have expanded my region and renamed it Karimba. Jiapia is now just a city within this region. I am slowly tidying up my region to make the cities more defined with suburbs and farms around them. I am also trying to tidy up the Islands and make the whole region view flow more so that the tile boundries cannot be seen.

Population is now: 6,457,637.

Thanks, I have rezoned the northside so the planes can approach without worry.

It looks great, I love the transit connection you have as well. Nice city grid, super realistic!

Cheers for the comments guys.

I've managed to spend some time on it this weekend and finally downloaded a few new things from simtropolis:

Basin Junction: New port set.

Coral Bay: New tree mod.

I was have bad congestion issues in my central city of Firestone Valley (the one with the large custom airport).

I wiped out the centre of the city and rebuilt.
After looks of tunneling and making sure the bus and subways connected to the train stations it now looks pretty good. Now I just have to fill in the gaps so it develops from low-rise to high-rise more naturally.

Below are the results:
