Elevation Map
I would like to know if anyone has made an elevation map of the Toluca Lake area. I also kindly request that no one creates any user page for me because I use non-CitiesXL Wikia solely for obtaining information, not giving any (because I do not have enough useful info).

 * Unfortunately, Silent Hill doesn't have any elevation maps. These map help you though:

 * Are you planning in recreating Silent Hill in CitiesXL? AlexShepherd 06:06, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be nice if I could do that but I do not think that CitiesXL will allow custom maps for some time. I would also have to make the map 2.5 the width and 2.25 the height, approximately. I could estimate Toluca Lake's eastern and northern edges, buy Silent Hill 2 for elevation, put the resources holidays and water near the shores, oil somewhere to the northwest (to replace the coal mines) and possibly fertile land to the east. I would have to get Silent Hill 2 on my desktop which will prove difficult (since it not easily available anymore). Silent Hill 2 is my favorite Silent Hill game I have heard or but I have never played the game. AzemOcram 15:41, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * I see. A majority of exploration in the series is either in the town itself or its buildings/areas, but never really of the area around Silent Hill (except in some cases such as the forest walk in SH2 or the forest world in SH4). I know that people have recreated houses and buildings in The Sims (see "ValTanner on YouTube). If you could recreate it in CitiesXL, a lot of the designing would probably be guessing and making up the terrain and elevation on your own. Silent Hill 2 is an amazing experience and I'm positive you'd enjoy it. I know that SH2 can be downloaded online (go to Mininova.org and you should find multiple SH2 torrents. Then with Daemon Tools, you can emulate the installation .isos so that it can be installed on your PC. Then you can replace the normal executable with a "NO-CD" executable so that the game runs on your PC without a disc inserted). If you haven't done it before, it probably sounds like gibberish, but it's very easy to do. =) AlexShepherd 19:35, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, the elevation is steep everywhere (according to the observation deck and the walk down to town) except in the developed areas. I imagin that Paleville is a small hill of agriculture and low density residential. I can make a rudimentary map tonight AzemOcram 00:03, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * By the way, the full scale map is 1,900 meters by 2,181 meters, rounded up to nearest kilometer is 2km wide by 3km tall. Making only 6 small SimCity 4 cities (thus 6 Sims 2 areas). AzemOcram 18:27, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I made an elevation map by color replacement, painting, selectively lightening and darkening, and other GIMP features http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5374/silenthillcompletemapel.png --AzemOcram 21:18, October 31, 2009 (UTC)
