Did you finally figure out how to change field of view for those last three or are those Photoshops too?

Anyways, more great work.

Yes, there will be more updates, it's just that I've about doubled the size of the street grid for downtown and I won't put up another update until I have most of it filled in. It shouldn't be as long, though, because it will be made of larger buildings rather than hundreds of little browntsones. ;)

Um, by using the tool, (draging the mouse forward or backward)?

Did the officials give any explaination as to why the ship aint moving any time soon? Something tells me City Hall will be in for some complaints :D

There is a harbor in front of Jefferson Heights (or there will be) and usually they dont park Oil Tankers in the Jefferson Harbor, they park them in Newport Harbor (not in the model YET) There was a "ship problem" so they docked it there.

As if Staunton's City Hall didnt have enough complaints. lol

What's the name of Staunton's newspaper?
Hmm havent thought of that yet, I'm just using those Newspaper Titles to make intresting instead of saying: I made a new Stadium.

Jefferson Public Housing Crime Levels Soar

Hmmm... let's see here. According to your 'Emporis Page' Galviston Enterprises comes up to 1067 feet or 325 meters.

Seeing as though the tallest current building in Merton is 300 meters, there shouldn't be any problems there. In fact I have a respectable 181 meter tower right in the heart of downtown Merton for the regional HQ.

NexxonOil's Expansion expected to restart construction 2007
2th Largest Company in the World, ranked by Capital 500, still recovering from the 1999 World Financial Crisis

NexxonOil opened its regional headquarters in Staunton, New Jersey back in 1995. By 1999 ExxonOil, along with many other big time companies went bankrupt as the depression hit.

In 1998, plans to expand the complex were ready to commence when the crisis hit. Phase two has been sitting unfinished for almost 8 years now. As everything now comes together, official's stated the project will commence construction sometime 2007, if the Depression improves.

NexxonOil Corporation is the 2nd largest publicly traded integrated oil and gas company in the world, formed on November 15th, 1993. The NexxonOil Corporation's 2005 Revenue was $350 Billion dollars and has its World Headquarters in Houston, Texas.

Crime Driving Businesses out of the Jefferson Corporate Peninsula
Crime Levels continue to rise in Jefferson, Lloyd International threatens to move their regional headquarters to Jersey City

In 1989 the Jefferson Corporate Peninsula was completed, Prominent Corporations moved in such as NexxonOil, Lloyd International, and Jefferson Stanley.

At the time Jefferson was a middle class area of Staunton, the tenaments and apartment buildings were clean and crime was at an all time low.

Today Jefferson is known as the "Ghetto" of Staunton. The Area is the city's largest crime spot. Most housing projects are dirty, and full of criminals, violence, drug use, and prostitution.

As the crime rises, the Jefferson Corporate Peninsula has been suffering and is not the wealthy office park it once was. Lloyd International plans to move it's regional headquarters to Jersey City unless crime improves. Lloyd International occupies three midrise buildings located in the middle of the office park, all with Lloyd International logos.

Lloyd International is a prominent American real estate company. Ronald Lloyd is the current CEO of Lloyd International. Lloyd International has several exlusive residential towers across the world including Tokyo, New York City, and Paris. Staunton has its very own Lloyd Tower Internatinal Hotel & Tower Staunton, located in the Torrington district. The Prominent Tower is easily reconized in the skyline, with its rooftop garden and large logo's.

Abandoned Jefferson Factories Becoming real Crime spot
Once Staunton's industrial center now Staunton's crime hole

In the 1930's Staunton was an Industiral Center. Much like Pittsburgh.

Much of it was cleared in the 60's when the city was completly redeveloped. But one spot was never demolished.The Eastside Jefferson Industrial Park has been abandoned since the 70's, ever since, the factories have been rotting away into ruins.

Crime levels continue to rise, most crime is happening in the Eastside Industrial Center. The Area is one of the most dangerous spots in the Country, home of Drug Dealers and Crime Organizations. Athorites dont even bother to go in the area because its too dangerous.

Currenty there are no plans to redevelop the area, probably because the developers are too afraid to even bother.

Staunton has the most Public Housing Projects in the Country
Above New York, Staunton is the Country's low income central

Staunton, America's worst city. A recent recount revealred that Staunton has 183,400 low income project units.

While Staunton is number one, the other top cities are : New York City with 162,000 Units, Puerto Rico with 56,000 units, Chicago with 34,000 units, and Philadelphia with 16,000 units.

Staunton's housing projects are the worst in the country. Crime and Corroption, Jefferson's Public Housing district is probably the most least cared area of the city.

The Mayor was quoted saying "Jefferson is a dangerous place, whats the point in spending money of Jefferson, it will just get worse, now wheres my limo!"

Jefferson Heights is loseing residences due to the increaseing crime across the street.

Its the Upper Northeast Side, not Trenton
Trenton? New Jersey's Capital, Trenton? An upscale district in Staunton

It was announced today that Trenton (not our capital) is now to be called the Upper Northeast Side District, instead of Trenton.

Official's stated that it became to confusing for our "simple" citizens and really didnt care which one was which.

Trenton, now the Upper Northeast Side, is an upscale neighbrohood in Downtown Staunton. The Area consists of 18 City Blocks. Many home to rich celeberties living in the luxourious skyscrapers such as the Penthouse and AplinePlaza Condominiums. The Area is also home to Alpine Plaza and The Jefferson Stanley and Trinity Global Investments National Headquarters.

Staunton Square being completly redone
New Layout, New Streets, New Billboards and some New Buildings (soon)

Old Staunton Square was so crammed together and just didnt make much sence. There wasnt much public space, the sidewalks where very thin and the layout didnt make much sense, the main part of Staunton Square was just and intersection with billboards on all 4 sides. There was another intersection south, and it was like a second Staunton Square, it just looked wrong. Plus The Tall buildings (Like the JC Summit Complex) was side to side against other tall buildings, imagine that view for a World Headquarters.

your city blows my mind!! However i must ask one dumb question, how is it that you are able to get the ads in the billboards to stay centered? Whenever i create one on paint and then paint it to a blank billboard, it wants to pattern itself like a building texture and i can't figure out how to avoid that (if possible). Anyways thank you for showcasing your talent, your city brings me joy.

Oh thats not a dumb question, I had a problem with that too

The awnser is those arent textures. You can import the billboards with the Import button File>Import. Then you can place your billboard anywhere and any size.

Tell me if you dont get it :)

Thanks guys!! :)

Seriously, how many hours have you sunk into this now? I've been somewhat turned off (of creating new stuff) by the need to keep producing textures for my buildings, and here you are with all this gorgeous street stuff.

Well I first introduced Staunton (version 2.0) to the fourm back in June 6th, or 6-6-06, hmm thats wierd, anything to do with Stauntons grim enviroment?

When it looked like this..

The City grew rapidly because I was on Summer Vacation, but now I am back in school, the city's development has slowed down. Now I'm just adding detail to the city, instead of whole new districts.

Staunton, in the evening

Staunton really has a true New York feel to it.

I've been so busy with School and Friends, I havent had much time to work on Staunton (ok I havent worked on it for a week)

I did manage to fit in some time today to put this in Staunton Square, sorry for the lack of updates.

Yeah, my whole day is almost planned out exactly the same from the last day:

School takes up (getting ready, and bus, etc) 5:35 - 3:15. Then just watching TV, snacks, computer from 3:15-4:45. Then Usually I hang with my friends from 4:45 to 7:10. Dinner, Dishes 7:10-8:30. Then Homework 8:30 to sometimes 10:30...

Not much time for Staunton now. But its Labor Day weekend, I have lots of free time :)

Finished Base

look mate your city is amazing your buildings just seem to fit, i was wondering as i represent a sim city for building architect tool team ie we modle custom content for the game could you show some individual buildings, maybe your personal favs so we can potentially recreate them in much greater detail... just as a testament to the mind blowing work here...

Hmm for Sim City 4? Sure, like this? I could make more :)

Here is a bonus Shot, as you can see the JC Summit Tower has been completely redone, although very unoriginal huh? Looks too much like the Conde Naste Tower. I cant help it I love that tower :)

Also here is a side by side comparison of Stauntons top 5.

early look at the garden state tower

http://img351.imageshack.us/img351/551/gardenstatewj4.jpg

this is my take on it with a bit of personalisation namely the slightly doming top courtesy of the jin mao, to pinnacle it works out at 400m thats by counting windows on your texture lol...

Patrick

Sep 10, 2006, 4:35 AM

^WOW That awsome! and Oh No thats way to large, my model's windows are too small I guess. The Building's height to the top of the spire is 1028 feet (313 Meters) Yes Staunton is to scale. :)

And sure, I'll PM you.

Ok, I'm haveing a Writers Block, I currenty have no big Ideas for the City. Yes Staunton Square is being redone, but it is being redone VERY slowley and I am running out of ideas for Staunton Square, all that there is left is a city block for Staunton Square. I have empty space on the southern part of the city but its just too boring to put rowhouse after rowhouse. :(
