Today i'll show you the city, which is really city, looks like city, feels like city, but was made in sims 3 XD.
This city was started February 6, 2010. The city is creating by Nova Builders & Genetics Corp, but construction of the buildings is totally on me XD. Total number of people working on this project: 7 (1 arch, 3 interior designers, 3 sim-makers). This city collected ideas from various anime movies and some mangas, the map was found on simtropolis (simcity 4 related site) it was fully recreated to meet standarts of our idea. We are trying to work faster on this city, but ETA is 3-4 years *i hope XD*. The map is 2048x2048 pixels. The flag has gnu copyright and was not made by NBGC, the coat of arms was created with coat of arms of Republic of Udmurtia as a base (Russian Federation) and some clip-art objects. The city without buildings have a size of 200mb, after construction all needed building it will have a size of < 900mb, also it will have a save file, and some compressed package files. But even right now my game have top graphic options, with system: Intel E7400 Core 2 Duo 2.8ghz, 4 gb RAM, Nvidia GTS 250, 750 SATA Barracuda 7400rpm.

All the hi-rise buildings were created in game with wall tools *they are not meshes*, they are fully working, simmies going up'n'down on elevator, flats in this buildings are situated on top of'em. Some other hi-rises in Central prefectures are bussines&journalism rabitholes. Everything woking fine and smooth XD.

Thanx for comment, i think that goup creation is a still new for a simfan world, but due to that i played a lot in Simcity 4, and created group for 3dmodelling of lot and buildings, and that's why i thought that one creator can be overwhelmed by lot's of asks to construct buildings, and one creator is too little for creation such huge city, even we have 7 people in there it still not enough to reduce ETA of this city to 1-2 years. XD The realism was our goal, that's why we found the way to creat skyscrapers without using meshes, and we use all the latest technical additions which were founded by other gamers. Also we love this city, and try to create everything there with enough skills and soul.

I am pratically speechless! This is amazing, and I think it is neat the you have combined efforts with others to form a group. The world is very realistic looking and I love all the different features it has!
