Another teaser, it's a mosaic, enjoy

Moar Golf!!!! xDxD

Nice work, the golf course community really looks great.

Reminds me of a golf course near me with the apartments dispersed throughout the course

Wow!

I see Food Lion is one of the Grocery Store chains in New Chandler, just like in Marquette

Also love all the captions, and pictures. The city is certainly very wealthy

Love the Food Lion right next to the golf course, really gives the impression of a new area. Fantastic work!

I've actually never seen a Food Lion in real life

Prelude: The bottom part is a USNW event announcing Okaiken as the host of the Adonia Games, the Olympic-equivalent in our union.

Also make sure to view each image in full size. You should see "SAN CLEMENTE CITY" on the bottom.... not just "SAN"




San Clemente City is playing host to the 40^TH Adonia Games Committee Session. But before we go to the session, let's see what this bustling town has for us.

Here is a high school in the relatively poor Fordham Low neighborhood.


The Sun Belt, a coastal road lined with resorts between the Crown Point (a mountain in the foreground in this image) and the Solvanese Ocean.


The Sun Belt business district is between the Highway 19 Bridge (top) and the Queens Avenue Bridge (bottom).


Now we cross the river into Downtown San Clemente City.




And that concludes our tour, now we descend on the San Clemente Convention Center.


The Chair of the AGC, led by Nate Saathoff, will now deliver his speech announcing the host of the XV Adonia Games...

Thank you to our gracious host of San Clemente City for holding the 40th AGC Session, you've truly done a fantastic job and the AGC has enjoyed our stay.

We have concluded our daunting and difficult task of evaluating each bid presented to us, and was very impressed by the quality of the bids. We congratulate all of the bidders on their hard work bidding and we appreciate the effort very much. We hope you gained from the experience and enjoyed bidding, even though we can only have one host, which we have decided on.

With great pleasure I hereby announce that the host of the fortieth Adonia Games will be held in the city of....

Congratulations! You've earned it and we can't wait to see what an incredible presentation you will present to us.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to recognize our unsucessful bidder... the AGC can only imagine how hard it must be to come this close to hosting the games and we hope you bid for the Adonia Games or X-Games in the future

Once again, congratulations to all and to all a good night!

You did a good job on the last updates - as always! =)

Great update The USNW made a great a choice in having your country host such a prestigous event

DON'T FORGET TO VIEW IN SEPARATE WINDOWS!



I haven't done a transportation update in a while so I figured today would be a good day to do one. Only this time in New Chandler City. I've been working on the east side like update 42 and today will take you on a train ride across the entire large city tile It's monsoon season though so it's going to be a bit rainy.

By the way if you ask if I took names from GTA or NYC, the answer is yes

Alderney is the southernmost station on this city tile.


Burlesque South. The 7A joins us here, which spurs off toward the bottom (Line 7 crosses the road) toward the Fordham Low station.


Burlesque Transit Center lies under the massive and famous "CAM'S BURLESQUE" sign, advertising a textile factory, symbolic of the old industries in the reforming neighborhood. The 3 line (not the 4 as the picture suggests) goes above it and would eventually get you to the Central Core and Simlympic Park.


DeKalb Avenue is on the other side of the 317 freeway, where the train line goes into a tunnel.


DeLornier Avenue and Park and Ride is just after where the 7A line leaves for the airport. This station is a crucial lifeline for the thousands of residents in the housing projects built around this area, and as you would expect, is one of the busiest on Line 7.


A brief intermission now. This is where the 7A line ends up, at Don Figote Airport. The tracks continue into a yard.


Back to the main feature now. This is St. Lucius Station, another extremely busy station.


Flanders Circle is just before state highway 8. Planes entering Don Figote Airport howl over this station. Fortunately for the residents built abnormally close to the runway, this is one of New Chandler City's smaller airports.


On the other side of the freeway are clean streets with no grimy industry. The Civic Center station is also a connection point to two light rail lines. All three lines split after this station.


Here's a map of where we went!


Before I leave you guys off I have a few more pictures of this city tile in the sunshine. Here's the airport...


Highway 317.


The Civic Center. There's a lot of empty space that I blanked out. Half of that is the edge of the city tile


Also I strongly encourage you to CLICK THESE TWO IMAGES FOR 5000-PIXEL WIDE PANORAMAS, or sideways mosaics. Panorama 1 (look at URL's) is of the Burlesque District and Panorama 2 is of the airport and vicinity.

See you next time! Please leave comments if you enjoyed your ride.

What a fantastic update, k50! The rain effects are amazing, and the city looks really nice.

A great update! You should do a tutorial on rain effects if you haven't already done one.

Oh that is so nice in the rain

I like the transit update and how you followed the line

Wow, stunning pictures!!

And I really like a good subway map, and this one's great!!

absolutely stunning!

Thanks for all of the comments Elavery there's a rain tutorial on Simmania in the tutorials section, my rain is similar to that, I just play around with the numbers a bit in GIMP.

Teaser time!

I've gotten a little bored with New Chandler City and started work on Galanos for New Chandler III. You may remember the version in NC 2.0 from way back in January of 2011. This Galanos is going to look completely different and it's going to not look as "perfected" or "pulchritudinous" as that (as in, it's not going to be a bunch of rich businesses and palm tree lined avenues), but more like a realistic city. It's looking to be a kind of a combination of San Clemente City and Rockaway at the moment.

This is part of a Simlympic bid, and as such, every little detail is going to need to be accounted for. Here's the first teaser from the bid. Over this month there will probably be a lot of these teasers with one massive update (the complete bid) toward the end. Stay tuned

Remember to view it in full resolution. You're missing out 500+ pixels

Good Luck K! This month's Simlympics are gonna be really really tough

Looking forward to seeing what you do to improve upon the last version

Mentioned this over at ST, but may as well say it here as well - love that teaser!

That's one brilliant teaser! I love the bright colours.
