City Needs Help -- An Any Time Challenge

[fountain]

Thanks Cricket and Zoo Grammy!

 

3 weeks of experimenting and detailing and thinking about infrastructure and awkward changes of 150+ year-old towns and cities e.g., Harrisburg, Reading, York, Lancaster, West Chester, Philadelphia and even Seattle and Tacoma. Plus teaching my daughter how to drive manual transmission since late November, means I have been paying even more attention to abandoned and currently used railroad crossings, "dog legs" and rises and dips in rural roads to skirt many, many small farms and creeks around here. And I have seen photographs from space and new stories from Michigan of neighborhood where buildings are being razed and new open spaces, parks, and community gardens are created. I tried to incorporate housing, businesses, and zoo access improvised and compromises in the setup.

I had to snag a copy of all of those city pictures. Again they are just great and I love the detail.

I love the realism of these pics, it's amazing what you can do with this game, if you are creative, that is.

Yes, Jan. Thank you! And It helps to fascinated by infrastructure, OCD fussy about some things. I sat there and moved around the in-game SUV to figure out if the streets and corner could be turned with reasonable driver care.

 

Here are some more pictures and solution of how to entice guests onto the overpass to see the giraffes. The overpass is more than 10 squares so to the guests' eyes they nothing interesting. So I lengthened the overpass so it would accommodate an aviary. The guests still would not go down the other side. So I put the popcorn seller on the far end of the overpass. Soon guests bought popcorn and then went down to see more of the savanna exhibits.. Then I had to connect to the tiger area.

 

I will post those shortly.

I must say I have had only 25% success at combining files, which is really annoying. So often I have my son help and after the files are combined I put id in the game and they don't work. So I am very careful as to which dls I use.

I think I did a topic on this too and my method is a little different. It worked well for me.
