| Neighborhood description | Having previously created a city neighborhood, I found it gradually lacking certain elements over time. Therefore, I’ve reconstructed it from scratch, ensuring that it’s now complete. This version is being archived to prevent the need for future reconstructions. However, recognizing the potential time-saving benefit for others, I’m sharing it here. It’s worth noting that this neighborhood is entirely devoid of Sims, offering a blank canvas for players to populate as they wish. |

| SimCity map describtion by panmines (ModTheSims) | The city sits on a peninsula with the foot hills of a mountain range ending right behind it. I developed to the far corners of this map, so it is best to get a neighborhood camera with a wide zoom range, like GunMod’s Camera Mod or Tom Duhamel’s Enhanced Gameplay Cameras, if you don’t have one already. Most of the tall buildings in the city are neighborhood decorations that are not included in the download, but I have posted download link to them below. The map is split into six major sections: A uptown area, a “central park”, a downtown area, an airport, a port/industrial park, and an upper class suburb. All playable skyscrapers were made by me and can be found on my page. |
