If Winnipeg was Sim City

Winnipegger · #1 Posted **Jul 13, 2007, 8:54 PM**

Yea, I know this isn't a SimCity forum, or a Simcity Diary, but I just wanted to post these pics because it is a Manitoba Forum. Here are two pics of downtown Winnipeg on a Region I made in SimCity 4. Yea, I know its childish and un accurate, but hey, its fun so too bad for you. Take a look if you want. I only have two so far though. Oh yea, and thanks to all the people who speant time working on all the lots and bats and .dat files. It looks good I think.

Yeah, I found a couple of those models. But i don't use them in my cities because they aren't to the greatest scale.

That looks good for the limitations on Simcity 4.

I had a dream where I made a Sim City of Winnipeg, but it had a lot of lakes and hills. It was like Minneapolis and Port Arthur, mashed together, with Winnipeg's skyline. If that makes sense.

I wish it was real.

Yea, the ERC looks good 1ajs. But yea, they are out of porportion. Esspecially the Richardson compared to the Commodity Exchange Tower. Anyways, I always have the problem of not getting my plopables or plugins to light up, but this isn't a tech forum. Anyways, thanks for the feedback so far

There is an update you have to get from simcity.com, I don't know where it is though.

Do you live in Thunder Bay or in Winnipeg?

vid · #11 Posted **Jul 14, 2007, 1:46 PM**

Iono, which one do I list as my location?

It's actually "If Winnipeg were SimCity" unless you're speculating that Winnipeg might actually, at some point in the past, have been identical with an entity called "SimCity" .

If it was, it was obviously designed by a n00b.

I was talking about the real Winnipeg, not your version.

Your version actually has the capacity to have a rapid transit system!! Build one, then shove it in Katz' face! For us.

Brokenhead · #17 Posted **Jul 16, 2007, 2:52 PM**

Thinking about it, if my Winnipeg was SimCity, it'll be the biggest city in Canada, and the fastest growing.

lol thanks for clarifying that. I was about to break down crying. But no, you shouldn't put down Winnipeg Transit lol. Like c'mon, its not like a LRT could beat a good ol' bus.
