I just loved it so much I had to make it in the game.

^ Hah! That's awesome! It really looks like it, nice job!

I used to play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, didn't know you could design buildings though.

I'd love so see that in SimCity 4.

All there is so far is One London Place and a map mimicking the city's geography/topography.

You can design anything really. It's almost like pixel art, you use different blocks to build your buildings.

I'm building a Amusement Park right now and I always wanted to build a hotel-esque building, but never had any inspiration.

Any more buildings you can draw?

I find Sim City 4, though good for micro-simulation, is pretty bad at macro-simulation. It is incredibly difficult to accurately mimic a large city or region when a 15-minute commute is considered "long". Sim City 3000 is much better for mimicking individual cities.

As for the building, sure, make one for Sim City 4, but the NEW Sim City is coming out Q2 2013. Be sure to make one for that as well

Haha, sure!

When I get the chance I'll try to do some more fantasy renderings.

As for the whole Sim City thing, I always felt that it was too unrealistic for me. It's not really the same as Sim City, but I like to map out my own cities by hand. You don't get the 3D aspect, but to me it's more fun!

...Speaking of which, this is the perfect opportunity to mention my super-cool thread!

I apologize for those who have already been there because I haven't added anything new, but I am working on some really cool cities which I hope to add soon!

[Simpseatles]

^I have now added some new maps to my thread, including a London inspired one!

[Whisper09]

Sorry, I'm going off topic again, but I wanted to show what my finished building looks like that Simpseatles drew up.







I know you would never see this in real life, but take away the waterpark, and I would love to see a building like this in London.

Thanks for the idea Simpseatles!

No problem! Loved seeing the finished product!

And thanks for giving it a name!
