I believe I had talked a little about the building standing in a lot with no road access in the town of Tolstachaolais (Simcity 2013). Today, I present a short close look at it. First off, here is a screenshot where the building is identif…

So here goes.... I did find my stash of Simcity (2013) screenshots and videos. Thus I'm going to give a tour of an oddball city with the charming name of Tolstachaolais. First off, a look at the town with the game's menu bar at the bottom.…

One of the place names I pulled from "The Meaning of Liff" for use in Simcity 4 was Tolstachaolais. I didn't have any recollection of where the real life place with that name is though (it was shown on a map in the book). I took the time t…

Buried in my computer gaming past is a game which may have been the starting point of my interest in city building games. Interestingly enough, the game which I suspect kindled that passion actually isn't a city building game. I have a sus…

In this post I take a look at some of the characteristics of the movement of sims in and out of the town of Nickel's Bay. This screenshot shows that the number of jobs in the town, 21,823, actually exceeds the population, 14,958. The surpr…

First off, here is a look at the village/town of Nickel's Bay prior to my development project commencing. The main thing to note here is that the terrain is not very flat. Thus the up and down streets. Notice here how bumpy looking the rai…

Today I'd like to introduce a town development project I've undertaken over the past week. The town that "got the treatment" so to speak is Nickel's Bay, a small settlement in my Tamriel region. It's on the left side of this screen shot...…

I had this screen shot lying around on my desktop of a volcano erupting in a Simcity 4 region. I decided to toss it in here just to get it out of the way. There...having gotten that out of the way, let's take a look at another city on that…

Today's post looks at a region map which supposedly depicts the lands one can traverse in the game Dragon Quest 3. I say "supposedly" since I have never played that game. The region I built, with the unimaginative name of "dq3", is fairly …

In my Januaray 4th post I wrote about a region map of Tamriel, a fictional continent in the Elder Scrolls game series, which I downloaded from Simtropolis and proceeded to build on. The result of that effort was a collection of 26 cities, …

I did a bit more playing around with the hamlets of Thorn and thus expanded the settlement in size and population. The original hamlet had a population of 68 sims. The chogi and choga rural houses have a higher capacity for sims and thus t…

This post looks at another hamlet In the region map I mentioned in my post about my version of Stormhold. I lifted another name off of a Tamriel map and started working on Thorn. First off is a high altitude view of the hamlet and its surr…

In my previous post I wrote about a Simcity 4 region map of Tamriel I had downloaded from Simtropolis. While I was looking at screenshots to use in a post about another hamlet, I started wondering about the dark coloured beach mod I had us…

Years ago I stumbled across a Simcity 4 region map on simtropolis.com named Tamriel. I had no idea what it was about but I downloaded the region map anyways and built cities on that map. After filling every local city map in the region wit…

Building an avenue intersection in Simcity 4 is really no big deal. Simply drag and draw one avenue and then drag and draw another one to intersect it at a right angle. But the fun comes in when one has a bunch of plugins which are suppose…
