Boroughsburg V2 - NYC-Brooklyn-Queens Urban World

Hi all, just reposting this from Tumblr!

Boroughsburg has been updated and improved! Boroughsburg is a mashup of DUMBO, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Long Island City, and Astoria- but is open enough that you can build whatever bit of New York City you want in it.

World Description
“Boroughsburg is an up-and-coming neighborhood in New York City that straddles the delicate line between working-class grittiness and rarefied hipsterdom. Enjoy spectacular views of Manhattan from the waterfront while live music, outdoor markets, and art shows brighten atmospheric cobblestone streets lined with old brick warehouses and trendy lofts.

Not your stuff? You could always go for gyros, pierogies or matzo ball soup at the local diners, get to know the old-timers, or just dance the night away.”

  • This is an absolutely amazing world. It looks deceptively large and crowded but it isn't. It runs beautifully, smooth and playable. Gritty is a really good word to describe the setting. So much work has gone into this world, it is magnificent.
    Thank you so much for sharing it <3
  • Wow, this is beautiful! Great job. I love visiting dumbo. My son and I take little summer trips, walk over the bridge to grab pizza and then head to BK bridge park after. Of course we can’t really do that this summer. I’m amazed at how good this is! It just reminded me of my little outings with my little one.

    DUMBO and Brooklyn Bridge Park is such a cool place! A bit expensive, but gorgeous views!
  • I hope this thread isn't old enough to be considered necro territory.

    I downloaded this world this week, having put it off thinking it might lag, and it doesn't!
    So beautiful, and a brilliant build indoors and out.

    The distant views are incredible, especially from top floor apartment windows. I love the characters in the save game, and the list of recommended mods was a handy guide to many useful utilities that I had previously missed.

    Load and save times are longer than my other worlds, but once inside the build things run very smoothly. A well balanced world with incredible details and sense of space and place.
