A full sim DEMO is also available.
I am leaving all the previous notes here and you are of course still welcome to pick up the demo and practice with megaprims if you haven't tackled that skill yet :D.
***Sadly I need to add this note***
Edited October 23rd, 2016.
I can see no legitimate reason for people buying this item and then leaving a one star rating -- and sometimes a fairly nasty comment :D
THERE IS A DEMO -- THERE IS A DEMO -- THERE IS A DEMO -- THERE IS A DEMO --
The demo has been available since August 31, 2015.
I of course am not trying to cheat people. I have been in business as ChiC buildings since 2010. You can see a smaller demo of this surround inworld -- http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Swanbridge/194/88/1003
I invite you to PICK UP THE FREE DEMO and see how it looks in your environment. Pick up my competitor's demos if they have them and test those also. YOU are the customer. YOU make the choices.
And if you want to make your own surround, I applaud you. As a previous member of the Linden Endowments for the Arts committee and designer and curator of LEA7 (Machinima Open Studio Project) I support (in caps) creativity!!!!
PLEASE PICK UP A DEMO AND TRY BEFORE BUYING IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS.

One of the most popular city surround sets, just got better!
The City Lights Skybox Surround offers an expansive space for those on a prim budget.
Version 2 included upgraded textures, cloudy sky "ceiling" and a mesh building set with six buildings for only 2 LI at any size.
This surround is a 255 x255 megaprim and fits on either a mainland or island sim.
Includes open sky and completely enclosed styles. Designed for a full sim parcel, it is a skimpy 2 to 3 prims The set also includes five differently sized (two different textures) skyscrapers to fill in small areas. Add a city outside your favorite skybox or house window.
A 10 meter deep base version allows placement on uneven ground.
Please note that this is NOT an off sim item. People have actually used the filler buildings along with the do it yourself kit to turn the parts INTO an off sim surround, but that was never the intent :D.
MORE INFO: About your Citylights Surround
The surround is made of megaprims. The single buildings are made of regular prims. They are set to be .5 land impact. In order to take advantage of the prim savings you will need to link them together (just the single prims, not the mesh) when you have placed them as you want them. From there you can still move and resize using the "edit linked object" option in the build menu.
The MESH buildings set is one object and cannot be unlinked. It can be resized to as big as you need without increasing the land impact. It uses the highest LOD and physics settings available and is 2 land impact per six building piece.
If you would like natural sunlight in your city, simply turn the exterior walls and ceiling to transparent.

Dont waste your money
Its a fake. Just a few boxes with textures
This is just a Textured box
The Price of this product needs to be seriously reviewed Chic Aeon, This is literally textured hollow Box Prim, that i could make myself for 20 Linden, You are ripping people off with this trash, not amused DO NOT BUY THIS YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY.
horrible Product
i can only give you 1 star Minimal, if i could give you less i would.
NOT FULL SIM
This is NOT for a full sim. It is a 255x255 hollowed cube.
I wasted my linden on this
too repeaty
the texture repeats far too much, they should have used a much better texture.
WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!! VERY FLEXIBLE FOR SIM USAGE!!!
Ok, I've read a few of the bad reviews about this product so I feel compelled to give my experience with it. The city background looks great. The images are crisp and having it around my sim makes SUCH a difference.
As to the filler buildings: Yes, they are just prims textured on all 6 sides, but really that is all you need. They are for BACKGROUND people. And its not like you can't alter how they look. You can. To many of them look identical? Go into edit mode and change the color ( I tinted some of mine blue) As to the top of the prim, just select the top face and make it black. Problem solved.
That not enough variety for you? Change the building textures. There are lots of building textures available on marketplace that can be used to change the appearance of the prop buildings. Just throw some on a few and there you go, more building variety.
My only (minor) complaint is the base prim for the sim surround cant be reduced in size. I assume this is because it is mega prim. It is only an issue for me because I have the sim surround several meters above my sim for an urban skybox and I have a skyroad that takes you from the ground up to the skybox. So at one point you have to drive through the base prim (which I had to make phantom).
Otherwise I have nothing negative to say about it.
If you want to see how I made it work, come to Snake Eyez Motorcycles, Kawaii Ohana and take the skyroad up:)
