Sanctuary Build - In Progress

Here's a Sanctuary build I have been toying with what seems like forever and I am really close to getting a satisfying stage 3 but need to finalize some ideas and fill 2 spots that are vacant currently. These screenshots highlight some of the aesthetic choices such as the amount of neon light signs and just light sources in general. This build is at 26 settlers but I feel like making it for 30 would help flesh out the city and it has a large requirement of 130+ power to operate. Right now this build only requires Base Sim Settlements One workshop DLC *the warehouse/scaffolding one* and one creation club item because I couldnt resist building an arcade. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated, it could help me decide and finally finish and publish this build.

An interesting concept - in a City plot package called "Down Time" - a stage, a dance hall, library, etc.... it would be nice not to just have a "bar"... but in the spot up by the hero tree... I am thinking a gathering place... the singing settler type situation, chairs, food, kids using chalk on the concrete floor, etc...

I am also in the middle of Sanctuary build for my city plan release for Christmas (non-vanilla) so I opted out of the Masters - so I am only sharing what I have done.

And I have to give you kudos - I have done similar - but so happy to see you did it which is the bridge to Abernathy - that is such a nice touch!

The other spot... I could see (ahem) it being a trade hub, various vendors... if you watch, your provisioner will stop somewhat near to that location on the road - have an offload area of incoming/outgoing goods... maybe a post office of package delivery...

:) just some thoughts.
 
I added a hedge garden

Updated the hedge garden to be more symmetrical with the surrounding area with some other fun stuff like Lure Weed and mushrooms. Not visible here but there is some lighting in the hedge garden. Undecided if I should mirror the entrance on the other side of the Workshop Structure in Sanctuary.20200930095255_1.jpg 20200930095317_1.jpg 20200930095429_1.jpg 20200930095417_1.jpg
 
I can only wish I could come up with with someting like this, the way my mind works... everything has to be symmetrical, even, in rows and snapped together.
 
Here is a level 3 cityplan made with WSFW, a fully fledged 0-3 cityplan will follow. This will be one of the last Sim Settlements 1 cityplans I will make as ongoing everything will be done for Sim Settlements 2. Hope you enjoy using this cityplan in the commonwealth.
