Things starting to finally happen as I start using a lot of the fantastic UK housing to make my city look more like I want it too. Got to say, I am really liking the After Dark update so far!
I have to say, this Eyedropper tool is fantastic! But this save takes 5 minutes to load up every time now... worrying considering how little I have done on it!
New episode, I have started using straight roads... Got a question for you guys. How do you go about creating narrow free form roads that a generally equidistant from another road the whole way through?
Finally getting a decent traffic flow in, traffic++ is a lifesaver. Maybe Paradox should include it as part of the base game?
The city is really starting to take shape. I am trying to keep it naturally flowing as possible, not replacing many roads as I change things, and just piling more and more into it. So far it seems to be working well!
New Episode, actually featuring more of a city centre, rather than just endless housing! I am somewhat worried over the memory management of this now though, it seems to be pulling almost 9gb on RAM, which doesn't seem right...
Question for you guys, how would you go about blending high and low desity resdential? I think my next step will have to be starting to includ high density but I don't want it to look all odd next to low density. I was thinking of maybe making a ring road, and using that as the border or something, or a park, maybe a retail park?
Realising that my utilities were getting in the way of the planned expansion, I spend this episode creating a little utility village far away from the city or any planned areas of the city, to make sure they don't get in the way again
Aaaand more expanding. This time I'm getting close to the shoreline and the city centre is also taking some shape. I think I should be able to reach over 10k residents by the next episode
Having one junction into the city is a bad idea... but it looks like I am stuck with this for now!
Finally planning in roads for a bunch more housing, ready for residents to move in!
Episodes 16 and 17, turns out adding the industry made MASSIVE traffic jams on the motorway... so I had to spend a whole episode fixing that!
Last few episodes coming up for the After Dark part of it, before I move the city into the Snowfall expansion!
Still going strong, but I have to admit that getting residents squeezed in is difficult!
