Yet Another City

MAP: The Wetlands

I decided to make a thread as this one is doing OK. I have the odd crash every hour.

I will be posting random pictures as I build it. No fancy Photoshop adjustments yet until its at a stage worthy enough for a CJ.
I'm not using any particular city style so don't ask what style it is. I'm using the Japanese roads because I like them.

Oh and regarding the trees. Here in New Zealand when it's autumn, we still have lots of evergreen trees so we have a cool mixture of green, red and yellow trees. That does not mean I'm basing my city on New Zealand cities.

I may make two city areas, one each side of the map with a few small towns.

Thanks Kipate. I tried using the dig tool to drop one level but it makes it to low. Also the water plaza just puts the level back up to normal. I will try your method on a new pond/lake first before attempting to adjust the one I made.

 

Can you point me to the plaza your talking about? Is it here on the XLEX?

 

Thanks for the link. I did not have that one. I'll test it out later tonight.

 

Something is triggering a crash roughly every 10 minutes. I'm using the patch that adjusts the automatic save to every hour. There's entries in the log that shows that the game is making partial saves every few minutes so maybe the patch is the cause. I have further testing to do today.
I don't want to give up on this city as a lot of work has gone into it.

 

Thanks for the tips RealCity. I take them out and see what happens.

 

Well I removed the taxi mod and then took out all the small parking lots. I managed to play for 23 minutes. It did not crash, I just backed out of the game. The next step is to put the taxi stand back in without the small parking lots and run the game so see if its causing the problem. If that's OK then it might be the small parking lots as others have had issues with them.

 

I put the Taxi Mod back into the city and the game ran for nearly an hour before crashing.
I took it out and the game ran for only 9 minutes. This time I think something else triggered the crash because the game did run fine without the Taxi Mod.
I'll be testing the small parking lot today.

 

This city is still alive. There is still a few of supersnakes parking mod somewhere in it that I have to remove yet. Its got much bigger now than what the screens show in my post post. I've been busy with the bootleg map competition so have not done much to this city.

 

I'll see if I can get some screens done later. I need to load it up anyway to find those parking lots and remove them. Then I can remove the mod.
