    I had some time at the weekend and focused on the industrial harbour of my Bulgarian city, Albenovo. Still in progress, but here you go :angel:

    Wow, that's quite realistic, good work (y) Also, I like how patient you have been with placing the harbour pieces :)

    Here's some work in progress custom-made underground station:

    It is a combination of different mods:
    The NEXL trams for XXL, as well as several ploppable mods (slabs e.g. by Clemech4 or Lextacy). I am currently trying to create a pedestrian tunnel that will ultimately lead to this station, but I need to work out a solution...

    @BahadirB, thank you, but right now, it is only one station. I still need to add three more underground stations and the connecting custom-made tunnels...

    Everyone is building better-looking harbors than mine. I hope my city can be the most realistic, otherwise I won't get a medal at all:cry:

    Hey, don't be desperate about getting a medal. If it doesn't work, it's still okay. No one will look down on you, and actually, participating on a challenge will increase your popularity amongst other members as well as it will boost your city building techniques.
    Also, your harbour looks quite good, and your industrial estates do look good, too :)
    So, just be patient and stay focused on the things you know you can do best ;)

    I have been doing my best to come up with some creativity. So I came up with the idea of a prison on an island. During the Ottoman occupation of Albenovo (the name of the city), the prison was built in the mid 16th century. Exiles from the other parts of the empire served their sentences on the island.

    After the Independence of Bulgaria, the prison - which earned quite a bad repetition due to the punishment of the Bulgarian revolutionaries - was turned into a city museum. Today, it is one of the most frequented attractions of the town. At weekends, there is a local market in the front yard of the museum.

    I have focused on the historical part of the town so far, and here is Aleksandr Levski Plaza on the centre left.

    I do my best to come up with an authentic Bulgarian architectural outlook with the current mods available. This quarter is one of the "fancy" quarters of a relatively poor town. I hope you will figure out the glamour of the quarter once I am able to upload the peripheries of the town.

    @BahadirB build in water, roads parallel or perpendicular to the shore to lower the land until you reach the plaza. then you can plant some trees or bushes cxl_screenshot_test_0.jpg

    @Project_Oz, thanks for the tip. To be honest, I'd like to heep the rock appearance but your suggestions might be more aesthetical and realistic. Thanks once again! (y)

    You can rise the ground between the plaza and water with a road (rise the road with shift). Delete the road, then build with 1m path from water perpendicular to plaza to lower the ground. In this way you can create some cliffs.

    Can't show much detail, because I'm still working on the road network... I've been very busy with tons of work. It's hard not to be frustrated!
    Here's something.
