Terraforming can actually be done without a program, similar to many other features. It just takes a lot of work and knowledge on how to make a balanced environment. If you can build realistic hills, mountains, trees, all of that by hand, you'll be able to do this just fine. It would take so much longer to do basically everything by hand, but I have seen many "by-hand" builds on PMC that looked better than those with terraforming, McEdits, ect. It all depends on how far your willing to go, how much your willing to work, and how determined you are. How this helped!

Apartments, motels, hotels, restaurants, sub ways, trains, roads, sky liners, needle point towers, parking garages and lots, strip malls, malls in general, offices, theme parks.

I own a futuristic server.

LOL I do too. All that clicking, your hand might quit.

Yeah, Terraforming (although sometimes a pain) is a must. I've recently found that, posting submissions in a regular Minecraft world with custom terrain makes things that much cooler, but it takes a bit longer to make it. There's so many elements to worry about.

Either could work, although you probably just want to use normal or large biomes and edit it. However, if you want to use superflat, I recommend customizing it so the y axis for ground level is at least 60.

Should I use normal or super-flat?

Close, I play the original PC version of Virtual City. <3

And yes, you can never have too much in a city. AND DON'T FORGET THE CUSTOM TREES AND THE RANDOM BOULDERS. Touches like that really make people go "wow, he has everything."

@Great Butter: No problem. =P Virtual City players definitely know how to make a city lmao. (Believe me, it's mountains and mountains of work, but it'll be worth it when you see your city has more than the next guy and has more details)

Back on topic
All of the above, you can never add to much to your city, just remember there is order among the chaos and although buildings are similar, avoid clones

Any and everything that's in your city in real life. =P Parks, theatres, emergency response centers, police departments, city halls, maybe one or two big business corporate buildings.



Gas station, parking garage, shopping mall, Bus/Transit center, a downtown area, office buildings for daaaays. Maybe a hotel or two, and a city attraction to spark tourism, for example a monument. Oh! Maybe your city has a major highway passing through it, make sure you have billboards and exit signs.

And don't forget the courthouse and a jailhouse.

Sorry if this is a lot, just trying to think of everything and I'm sure I've missed a lot.

*Edit: and a library! How could I have forgotten a library!

so, suburbs, small picketed homes, larger homes in the inner city, Center needs a variation of Skyscrapers and medium sized buildings etc. to add effect larger bridges and dams across rivers etc.

Depends, modern or middle aged? Future? etc.
