Wow, I replied to this CJ over 3 months ago and that post was just on the last page!!!! Anyways, since then, a lot has changed with my font () and with your CJ. I love the water crisis. Good storyline on that. Can't wait for more updates (hopefully not in another 3 months... Just messing with you)

[PhilsCafe 8]

Good tool that navigation. That's a great addition nealos.

I already told you on the STEX, but I can't say it enough: Great work with the casino. And I'm looking forward to another San Portello update.

Take care mate.

Update 68 - Big city, little city

 

For the 1 million residents of San Fernandes, the big city is like a whole country, but in the smaller districts, the big city becomes a smaller neighborhood of real lives & real stories to tell, like: San Fernandes; A Mysim Life and such...

Population stats gathered by: SF-SP National Poll & Statistics Contribution, Yr 277 Paper 67 Ammendment 14

 

We are going deep into San Fernandes, well, to be precise just south of the bay, off the Freeway that takes you to Las Ventura and hopping on to the PhilC Freeway to Georgetown.  Third exit labelled 'Edwin City' ...

 

http://img324.imageshack.us/img324/1913/nealos101update68000009bn.jpg align=baseline>

68.1 Edwin City is westwardly, the last city before the picture limits...

 

We shouldn't really introduce you to one particular city, but Edwin has a long and puzzled history.  Edwin was the third city to enter the bay area that will become San Fernandes, along with the City of Bobinator (Bobinator Financial) and West-Point (Not shown on map).

 

The three cities quarrelled for capitol rights and originally San Fernandes was the small county of Sor-Ferfreeda, before the uprising spur of population that led to the three cities combining with local farming areas & villiages... Ah, Edwin... You are second in command when it comes to Fernandes' interests...

 

http://img281.imageshack.us/img281/4584/nealos101update68000012ft.jpg align=baseline>

68.2 Oldest part of the city in history...

 

Now, Edwin city's population today grows to about 300,000 - but at the time of the uprising it help a measly 50,00.  Its land rights were small and the city itself was covered (Well, populated) by heavy trees.  The city orginally began as a mining camp, which soon took control of lumber production & game hunting.  It's this part of the story which takes the ranger station atop Mt. Edwin waaay back.

 

You visit this enchanted area not only will you be able to see Edwin (The city controls the southern portion of the Metropolis of San Fernandes - its juristiction stops at the next major freeway in the West, or, at least industrial district in Edwin's case for the East), but you'll be able to see the whole Bay Area.  The uprising itself grew huge clouds of smoke, across the bay from where Bobinator was suffering the civil war at its greatest.  The man inside the Ranger Station sent an alert to the people of Edwin that the county had been invaded, and war was iminent...

 

http://img312.imageshack.us/img312/9839/nealos101update68000024ta.jpg align=baseline>

68.3 Edwin's first major hospital...

 

It was from there that Edwin's officials had decided to take the fight to whoever the oppresors were, and, little to their knowledge there were none... except rebels that had had enough of the poverty that had overtaken Bobinator, and took control.

 

The troops marched for 3 days and stopped to rest only twice, for their once told bretheren were in trouble, and they had to rescue them.  When the army had reached the city, they were tired and limp, and, bewildered to see that the city was not under seige, but now dying of famine.  The governers were killed, and, what made it worse was that the food stock had been gobbled up too quickly.

 

The leader of the troop decided he had seen enough, and began on the hunt to find the other brothers in West Point, where the situation was much better...

 

http://img400.imageshack.us/img400/5391/nealos101update68000038fs.jpg align=baseline>

68.4 This is not a major freeway, as it runs down the centre of Edwin and draws off into an avenue, which eventually ends up overlooking the bay...

 

The brothers in WP had plentiful stocks but no way to get the food to the dying city - so, the armies now combined of what was left of Bobinator, Edwin & WP, began to build a great road between the three cities.  Their might and honour for their brothers took muscles and energy, and in just 3 months Bobinator & WP was connected by a safe dirt track.

 

The stocks rolled in and everyone was saved! But now, they suffered a serious problem... Lack of wood.  There was no man foolish enough to cross the bay just for wood, however, there were men foolish enough to build and even more durable road around the whole bay to Edwin.  This construction took 6 months, but by the end of it, Bobinator was surviving and prospering with wood arriving every day.

 

The three cities rejoiced on that day, and, everyone called it the up rising simply becuase the men who were strong, brave and honourable fought for the men, women and children that had risen against their opressors and taken control of what was rightfully theirs.

http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/6200/nealos101update68000048fy.jpg align=baseline>

68.5 Heavy industry, wood companies and food processors all run Edwin, on a much grandeuar scale than in old times...

 

After that the three cities gave birth to many children, and, housing was erecting everywhere - but, unfortunatly the houses were too spacious and it was clear that rela estate would be empty very soon.  So, the three leaders of the cities sat down and carefully decided on a master plan that would take the whole county into the metropolitian future!

 

Instead of luxurious housing with lots of space, they began to build huge great factories for brick & mortar, and with them came the endless slums & housing districts.

 

With commercialism far off, San Fernandes was being born by the minute, and, under new health & safety legislations building housing was becoming a less costly process.  Then came capitalism!

 

http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/900/nealos101update68000050io.jpg align=baseline>

68.6 Edwin's centre was transformed into a commercial madhouse, and still has many parts of Olde Town buried in the medium-density districts...

 

Edwin was the leader in the building race for many years until Bobinator got the San Portello grant from Georgetown as city capitol, and all the commercial towers moved across the bay to set up shop.  This devistated Edwin, and, frightfully the population severly fluctuated up & down for years until Edwin invited the big polluting industries...

 

http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/77/nealos101update68000066fm.jpg align=baseline>

68.7 First the garbadge collectors, then the incinerators, then the big-name brands until one fiesty industrial building needed a commercial office...

 

Goobergen.  Goobergen originally was a power company until year 122 it also became a solar panel & medicine corporation.  It needed offices for it's customers but it needed it near the big factories - so what did it do? It set up shop! Edwin's commercialism was reborn and now the city is stable, but no one knows for sure if it will do it again, and will it take Bobinator for the ride? Hmm...

 

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3740/nealos101update68000072sv.jpg align=baseline>

68.8 City fathers are taking no chances here - as the garbadge gets taken away slowly, the education system gives rise to new minds & brainpower - neey to the garbadge! yeey to the skyscrapers?

 

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/9459/nealos101update68000085ho.jpg align=baseline>

68.9 Tourism has a small spot here in the corner...

 

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/1776/nealos101update68000091qh.jpg align=baseline>

68.10 In exchange for abandoning land areas, the council has cleverly placed parks near the heavy industry to call off the pollution like the old trees used to do, but now they dwindle in size & number...

 

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/7301/nealos101update68000101pw.jpg align=baseline>

68.11 We all know that life is in itself a freeway - who is brainy enough to identify the meaning of life when you can only cross it to get to the park it seperates you from your home? That's tranquil all right...

 

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/2116/nealos101update68000111ge.jpg align=baseline>

68.12 The railroad is completed soon after commercialism returns to Edwin - Goobergen needs way to shipp its goods!

 

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/509/nealos101update68000126wk.jpg align=baseline>

68.13 God always had a place here - beside other places that can cleanse your soul...

 

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3467/nealos101update68000132lo.jpg align=baseline>

68.14 Ah, Edwin's first windmill, and last unfortunatly. However Edwin celebrates the presence of a water control board - enough for the whole Metropolis of SF!

 

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/5356/nealos101update68000147fa.jpg align=baseline>

68.15 A view of the remaining forestry that protects Edwin from total sewage of protestors, no developments here - just a ranger station near the top of mount Edwin...

 

Now if you can't tell me why San Fernandes has a bright future, then maybe West Point will show you... becuase it isn't larger... its the gateway to Georgetown...

 

Hope you liked!

Hey nealos.

I really enjoyed reading the history of Edwin and how much thought you've put behind it (I liked the 'life is a freeway' reference).

And I like the variety of San Fernandes a lot. I can see that it had different origins. The heavy industry sector is amazing. I've never seen such an expansive layout of dirty industry. This perfectly shows the 'dark side'. But then again, the parks and high-wealth commercial which stand for an upturn.

PhilC freeway, eh? . A great one, thanks.

Take care mate.

- Phil

[mayormommy 8]

The development of your cities is really fascinating to watch. Great job!

[el_serpiente 0]

dude, this is the best work on a region i have ever seen. it puts all of my stuff to shame! btw, do you have a list of the plugins you have used during this mod?

[silvermac 0]

I'm doing a similar project, but I don't think I'll be giving you any competition

[nealos101 20]

PhilsCafe: Thanks again, I decided to do that - it was due.  You've always updated after my updates phil, if I could say thankyou any more then I certainly would!

mayormommy: Thanks, the effects I acheive never fail to surprise me. lol

 

el_serpiente: Well, you are new here so that really isnt your fault... I bet if you put your mind to it it'll bbeat mine any day... Plugins for the Mod? What do you mean?

 

silvermac: Ah, no other CJ is competition, it's everyone else's work and we are all on the same level. Thanks!

 

Thanks everyone! Unfortunatly no new updates for a while... I have cw to get through and of course... My Book! Im sooooo happy! Thanks everyone at ST!!!!

Nealos101

[silvermac 0]

We're not on the same level. My computer specs aren't that good, so it's only a 6x18 region with san fran/LA stlye cites with a gap in the middle. If your CJ was on my comp, it would literly explode.

 

P.S. Keep up the good work

[LordoftheWise 0]

Very nice last update! Real big-city feel to it! Good job!

[GMT 389]

i hope youll go on as good as good as you do rite now

[silvermac 0]

By the way, I started my CJ. It's called Canofordia

 

[jacqulina 162]

awesome updates i love how you are designing your city ,excellent pics too

[nealos101 20]

silvermac: It's a shame computers cost so much to upgrade these days, my computer is barly keeping up with the region, and I can't wait to get to the big, major city of Georgetown. I will have to see your CJ when I get the chance...

LordoftheWise: Thanks!

 

GMT: Thankyou too

 

jacqulina: As always, thank you, and glad you like.

 

I am hoping to put another update in soon, and hopefully it will be alright.

 

Nealos101

[nealos101 20]

Apologies for the double-post, but upon arrival of my Author Copies of my book, I went on a mad, city-creating spree.  Well, one particular city anyway...

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update 69 - Shingdu & Beverly Heights 

 

We scale back to Los Porablos for a breif period to spend time with an old freind; Beverly Heights.  Now, if any of you can remember beverly heights was a sprawling city of high-wealth citizens, it had culture up to your ears from a massive university to a great GLR line.  But I think you all loved the slopes and the conturing hills, the endless formations upon the great mountains, and so forth...

 

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/7408/nealos101update69000011nc.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.1 This isn't exactly how I left Beverly Heights, and, but alert that Beverly Heights is only the size of one large city tile, so check back to see which city is Beverly Heights.  But this is the Beverly Heights you should know...

 

Not much has changed since our last visit, simply becuase nothing interesting has happened.

 

 http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/8725/nealos101update69000026cf.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.2 - The transport map shows Beverly Heights after a big mess-up with city funds, and I'll explain what happened in this update...

 

But really, compared to Los Porablos' other central districts, Beverly Heights is small and to the north, where the centre is the south.  In my honest opinion the richer, more well off people live in the north, becuase of Hollywood and stuff like that.  Beverly Heights can support itself in times of need... Or can it?

 

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5717/nealos101update69000032hq.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.3 - Now, the golden rule of most cities is to keep commerical areas well away from big industry, right?

 

Well, you would think that but the gap is closing, and closing fast... All thanks to the evil Shingdu...

 

http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/7757/nealos101update69000046vv.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.4 - Now, on a typical LP estate, everything goes, but, in Beverly Heights, only the well-off goes.  However, any typical Manor in Beverly Heights is usually found next to another one, but, we find this manor has a different side to it?

 

Like a normal utopian villa, it is at the end of a road, and the person who built it works at the high-end of Shingdu.  Since he came to town, everything has grown from good to moderate.  And for any Beverly Heights fenatic, that's baaad news...

 

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/4948/nealos101update69000054by.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.5 - As GooberGen sents its sights on the healthcare side of the spectrum, Shingdu grabs hold of the chance to take command of the public transportation system...

 

Over the years, Shingdu stopped massive highway developments from being properly established, like the Beverly Heights expressway, a great bridge that would have bypassed all of Beverly Heights, and taken you out of town...

 

http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/2213/nealos101update69000069fh.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.6 - Ah, don't be fooled, it may seem like Shingdu is doing good, but, it is setting a small trap for the bustling business of Beverly Heights.

 

You see, when the expressway was torn down at half-way-there construction stage, Shingdu forwarded a cheaper and longer Freeway that connected Beverly in many areas, but not bypassed it.  Shingdu then brought forward rail plans, which connected the commercial areas to the Industry...

 

http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/2273/nealos101update69000078mk.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.7 - Plan of workable geniuos? Or foolish coporate thinking? Well, this is how the expressway looked after the Freeway was taken aplan, and the area around it just trees and open scenery...

 

Now, comes Shingdu, and it builds an expansion of the GLR, a railroad station, and lots of bus stations...

 

http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/47/nealos101update69000087lh.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.8 - Then the company builds a massive transportation hub, one which takes busing passengers to the airport and to Santa Neyorka for only 2.55 return...

 

It threw the business into a massive boom, and...

 

http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9241/nealos101update69000093ra.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.9 - Sent the Stock Market on overload...

 

Thanks to Shingdu, Beverly Heights now has a downtown, and thanks to Shingdu, that toll booth you saw earlier, was demolished thanks to poor, minus-profit business.

 

http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/5066/nealos101update69000102mw.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.10 - If any of you can remember, the upper areas of Beverly was empty and barren, now, thanks to Shingdu again it's packed with homes and real-estate ventures...

 

http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/6854/nealos101update69000112yu.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.11 - Shingdu got the urban sprawl entangled in massive propensity, becuase without mass transit this area would be packed with polluting vehicles...

 

The major area is full of up-beat goodness, but before it was like this and when the great Water disaster struck, Shingdu was a lowly company that just got lucky...

 

http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/3825/nealos101update69000124ym.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.12 - The city paid millions into the coffers of that construction company to build the expressway, however, this image shows you the last day before the call to stop work, the call that the expressway plan was scrapped.

 

The city had a major crisis, and at this time the water-disaster struck Los Porablos hard, and left no survivors...

 

http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/8383/nealos101update69000134dj.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.13 - The Beverly Heights public board of offairs (Situated in a building somewhere in downtown Los Porablos at the time), had to use it's remaining funding on something, either to demolish the expressway or drive it to the lower reigons, back into Beverly...

 

Shingdu had a plan, and it was to demolish the expressway up to the point where the bridge started, and then use the remaining freeway to connect the uncconectable together...

 

http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1548/nealos101update69000142vv.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.14 - In lamen's terms... this had to go...

 

http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/9820/nealos101update69000151xm.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.15 - And in it's place, a freeway that would connect this area to the big industry...

 

The city board of affairs wouldn't have it, but Shingdu promised profit, becuase, at the time the city was starting to recover from the disaster that struck...

 

http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/1784/nealos101update69000163sj.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.16 - Becuase at the moment, to get from here to there you'd have to take every possible random route to get to your destination, and that hilltop isn't very freindly with commuters.  You could take the freeway, but you would still have to itch your way through the hills...

 

Eventually, and without another choice, the city had to agree...

 

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/8730/nealos101update69000171yy.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.17 - And of course, Shingdu beheld it's grasp on the city using this massive power station.

 

Notice the 'no-water' zots, a mark of the Great Water Disaster back then...

 

So, you saw the before pictures, before the disaster and before Shingdu expanded, now look at Beverly now...

 

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/9732/nealos101update69000183ij.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.18 - A gleaming diamond of financial power.

 

My god, it'll be beautiful...

 

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/4572/nealos101update69000197dh.jpg align=baseline>

Update 69.19 - Try to make out the Somy Freeway, the one that should've been an expressway...

 

Thanks in advance peeps!

[PhilsCafe 8]

Wow, that's a very unusual development... Great update nealos. I really like what you've done there (although I'll miss that calm upper-class neighbourhood feel...). Very nice pictures, by the way. I especially like the highway construction sites and, well, the before-picture of Beverly Heights...

Keep it up. I'm looking forward to your next update.

[CDI_spy 6]

Nealos is back!!!  And with a cool new update!

[sloppet 3]

great work nealos!

[nealos101 20]

Sorry for not being around for a while...

PhilsCafe: Thanks again! I enjoy working with Beverly Heights, but unfortunatly I had to take action with the development front - I need to put in some industry, however the demand for commercial & residential was HUGE.  I will certainly miss the old Beverly Heights, but hopefully it will look even better when I have finished...

CDI_spy: Thanks too!

GMT: Stretched... Yes, it was the only way to deal with some of the problems, but thanks for the feedback!

aleking: Thanks again!

nycsc4: Thankyou, I am glad you liked it.

sloppet: Thanks!

Next update... We will definetly have to see, but watch this space anyhow...
