NYC v.5 Picture Update


I always feel that I don't do enough picture posts on this blog. So, as a precursor to the new beta, here are some pictures from the coming release...

I know these images are small so just go ahead and click on them and they'll appear in a much larger window (this way you can also view them in a slideshow). Also they're in varying quality as some are in-game and some are in CAW. Anyways, on with the pics:



I've added a downtown to Brooklyn, which can also be seen in the pic above...


Here's another from CAW showing the upper scale part of Brooklyn. I don't know if this pic really shows it, but it looks a lot more realistic now.

I've also expanded Harlem quite a bit, though it's still a work in progress...



I've tried to make the Bronx grungier. Again, a WIP

The Village hasn't undergone too many changes but I do plan to give it more foliage and place sprawling ivy all over...



...these last two pics sort of show what I mean

And lastly, I've been working hard to simulate Times Square


 

It's also going to have enormous working televisions plastered all over the deco buildings!!


And here are some extra pics of Manhattan that I couldn't fit into the theme of the post, still nice pics though

  3. Thanks Yannick. Your welcome Jessica. I'll try to be better about pictures. I so rarely play the regular game anymore and the screenshots in CAW are pure shite. So, often, I feel as if nobody would want to look at them. But at least for the sake of keeping everybody updated, I'll try to take more :)

    1. That is actually one of the things I've thought about quite a bit with this world. At first we were going to have the appearance of an underground system with custom rabbitholes, we even had a poll on it. More recently though, I've decided to place subway rabbitholes (standard EA ones) outside of the lots so that we can place more functional lots to better help fill the city.

      Actually many of the rabbitholes are placed outside of the lot system. You'll see what I mean when I release the beta.

    1. I want to give my co-creator some extra time to maybe have a few more completed lots in there. I would expect it around the middle of this month :)

  8. Oh damn. I've got Ambitions, LN, Generations & Showtime. I was wondering why my game crashed before I could load the 4th beta version of this world...I wasn't planning on buying WA but I guess I will since I'm dying to play this world. Thank you so much for all these awesome work :D

    1. Well, if you want to wait for the final release, the price might drop even further on that EP (especially a used version). I'm not really sure what it goes for now though...seems like it should be cheap but, you know EA.

      Many, I'd say most, custom worlds do require WA though so if you like to try out a lot of custom worlds, that's a bit of a bonus. Also, Twallan's Traveler mod (which allows you to vacation to any world at all) has made this lackluster EP totally worth it.

      And lastly, Happy Easter : )

  10. I'm a big fan of the game, and I wait a lot of time to find an expansion for build cities, but still I could not. How do I get to create neighborhoods? Is it necessary to install any program?
