Hi
During October 2018 I started to attempt the creation of an Asian inspired city world which will probably take many more months if not years
to finish.
This project came into existence when
@Emily4331 was searching for a Hong Kong look-alike world and had trouble finding one that was suitable ... for Emily4331 I believe the need for bright light city living has probably been met by
@Federico 's Icolopolis an absolutely awesome looking metropolis
!!
For me it was the beginning of another journey into the joy and despair of wrestling with CAW.
All builds in this world are either modified EA community lots or my own designs. I do not use CC even though there are amazing creations out there that would make a city look so much better ... but I must admit there is a fair amount of MOO-ing going on and quite a bit of CFE used on the lots.
My friend and fellow simmer/world-builder
@LMC6255 has been encouraging me to start my own thread and I have finally succumbed to her wish to see more and larger pictures of this work in progress ... so without further ado here are some screenshots of Da Chengshi's humble beginnings:
Just a twinkle in the city planner's eye many moons ago:
The latest screenshot:And 'everything' in between:
View from Government Island
Rainy autumn day
From dusk ...
... till dawn
A green oasis on top of 'Xing Yun' Tower
Winter in the Big City
View from the industrial district
Sunrise
Deserted streets in winter
Bright lights at night
I have chosen Chinese names for buildings with the help of Google Translate ... as my ability to speak this lovely language is none existent I'm afraid.
I'll apologize already ahead of time for any misunderstandings or offence that may cause and I very much hope that at least the name 'Da Chengshi' is the correct translation for 'Big City'.
Thank you for taking a look and making it this far down the page.
Happy Simming

I will not bask in your praise for too long ... but continue to build this city with enthusiasm and take lots of screenshots to keep you updated on the progress x
Thank you so much @MemoriiValentine ... your lovely comment is most appreciated!
Hi @MissyHissy,
thank you for stopping by and leaving your lovely comment !
I'm actually in awe of what you have accomplished with Ralton-on-Sea so far and can't wait to see how you develop your world further!
Thank you very much @KhemKat19 ,
you definitely should not be jealous in any way ... your building and landscaping skills are awesome!!!
I'm most certainly looking forward to following Nihon's progress
Hi
Filling up this city will take quite a while and building seems to be going at snail's pace at the moment .... but I've decided to give you an update on my progress nonetheless even though I just have a couple of screenshots of the builds that I've been concentrating on to show you.
The Island Temple ... this will most likely be turned into a night club:
Several mid-rise apartment buildings:
Tushuguan a modern library:
... and a view from the outskirts:
Hi
You've all made my day !!! Thank you ever so much!!!
@LMC6255 , I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that EIG won't drive you mad and you will get it to work real soon! Can't wait to explore Renaissance Gardens
@MemoriiValentine , thank you for having faith in my ability to create a nice world
@Rflong7 , a thumbs up from you means a great deal to me! 🍪🍪🍪
@Emily4331 thank you for keeping an eye on this thread!!! I am in the process of trying to figure out a way to get some bright neon lights into the city ... hope I can make it work ... need to satisfy that Hong Kong itch somehow
@MissyHissy , I'm so glad you like the temple ... makes the time I spent building it definitely worth it .
Hi everyone ,
I really could do with some advice please ... do you think the neon lights I've come up with are suitable to achieve a more bright light city feel? And would anyone know if the buyDebug wall lights could cause any problems or lag as I would need to use rather a lot of them.

Thank you very much! Your opinion would be most appreciated x
