Wow, you seem to have a nice mix of everyting in this region

Great rural areas too!

[Krio 626]

Picture 7.24 is incredible! Your story is also very good, nice to read it. But you have maybe too much Maxis in your hands, but you use in so large scale so it dosen't mind so much. But replace Maxis Railway Stations quickly with custom content! This CJ would be much better with more custom content, espically in suburban housing. But, very nice work again with this update Neal!

I fixed the image error... I couldn't see the PNG images but others could? I changed them all to JPEG compression anyway to save some space.  Here are some replies for you:

That is the beauty of San Portello; it is covered in mountains and filled with hot, tropical climates.  There is enough room to expand and develop the country into a vast continent!!!

But that'll come waaaaaaaaay later...

KRIO! YOU'RE BACK! w00t! Thanks for the comment and critisism; much appreciated.  The maxis content is trying to establish a foothold on the cities, but it is slowly dying out thanks to the increasing number of BATs and custom content being released; take LPX for example; it was originally covered in Maxis crud... Now, it is covered in custom content.

We'll see about those stations; it is a change that cannot be done overnight!

Little tiny update for those that are interested in Las Ventura...

The SGM Grand Volume 2 is closer to release... Meaning we can finally post an update in LAS VENTURA!

And what would Las Ventura be without a sneak peek of what is coming next...?

 

The remake of Stardust, the Casino that was demolished very recently, but will continue on through this installment in The Fabulous City of Las Ventura, San Portello...

Thanks for watching! No promises on the next update! Sowwwwi...

Neal.

[jacqulina 162]

awesome work my friend very realistic work you have done and amazing pics,and some great progress on your batting,amazing lighting and details

[Godzillaman 21]

Just a bump for this wonderful CJ. Hope it goes on.

[Cleaner475 150]

can't wait for thoose BATs awesome work

nice small update, keep it up,

Richard

[nealos101 20]

The main problem this CJ is facing at the moment is the wait for the SGM Grand, after a long, stressful and powerful wait I really want to have Las Ventura sitting on the reigon map with a revitalised casino that looks respectable and has some useful qualities. In order to do that I need at least the SGM Volume 2 up and ready to go.

As well as RLS which keeps hitting me... But both should be on the table and ready by the time I get back from my holiday (1 week).  SGM will be released, I'll be at home on my computer expanding San Portello, and hopefully, just hopefully, you'll find an update in this City Journal with Las Ventura's name on it.

No promises as usual; I am a large dissapointment but then again that is your decision.  This CJ will never die so long as I am around.

AN UPDATE HAS ARRIVED!

Update 73: CAMming San Fernandes

The City of Dreams after years of struggle.

Long ago, before the detonation of the nuclear explosive upon Portello's shores and further beyond the Republic's stride to power, there was a time of glory and celebration for the what was at that time, a puny and poor state.  Before this national celebration, common folk would wander helplessly thorugh the streets looking not only for work, but for a place to stay as well.

It was a terrible, terrible time for all that lived in San Portello.

...However, a storm was coming.

Many buildings, after being derelict and dangerously towering over the downtown area of San Fernandes for over a decade, were oblitered in a massive cloud of smoke and debris in what could only be the sign of change.  Useless and empty roads were torn up, homes were torn apart before being rebuilt, and dead skyscrapers that were vast in number were beginning to shine once more.

In the place of the wreckadge and debris, came Central Park.

But this wasn't all that was happening...

In a matter of months, weeks even, construction sites were moving in, and as the homeless and jobless watched with wonder, like thier hope and thier dreams, the construction sites grew taller and taller.

What was happening? They didn't know.

What was causing this boom in construction? Where did the funding for this come from? How could San Fernandes afford a massive expansion like the one occuring before thier very eyes?

The court of San Portello knew exactly what was happening...

The Shingdu Corporation had finally fallen into the clutches of justice through thier own greed and tyranny.

The people under the Corporation's greedy grasp began a massive riot in every city except Fernandes, taking every Shingdu corporation and selling it overseas.  Soon, the Corporation declared bankrupcy and the CEO, including each and every board member, were assisinated.  The Golden Age had begun!

"SHINGDU IS NO MORE! SHINGDU IS NO MORE!" Cried the people of San Fernandes when the new finally reached thier shroes.

The Freedom sparked a revolution... The revolution sparked a boom in Fernandes' economy.  The city became vast and huge, eating the land and gobbling up anything in its way.

One man saw this expansion and saw the next monster coming; A Stock Market Crash unlike any other.

Being a generous and kind man that he was, he began to draw up a strategy to save at least a part of San Fernandes from the economy struggle that would follow, and eventually bring the rest of the city back to its feet.  This was Bobinator financial.

Bobinator chose this land to promote not only a stable economy, but also peace.  His 'Collosal' thoughts brought yet more business to the Bay area, and soon, like the monster Bobinator foresaw, it had come.

...Traffic.

Traffic; the one thing that could destroy a city.  If a city is frozen in conjestion, then the economy will not boom.  IF the congestion is not resolved quickly; then the crash will be even harder on Bobinator's growing franchise.

Bobinator worked hard to raise money for his next idealist plan; he worked day and night to ensure that his corporation would not fail... Would not falter.  Everything was falling apart around his eyes; the buildings were being abandoned again or worse... knocked down!

He had to act and act fast!

The traffic issues were diverting with the millions that had lost thier jobs that no longer commuted to the area in question... So construction would be a piece of cake.

Quicker than a bolt of lightning, the GLER went up faster than monolith! Construction teams worked day and night digging, filling, welding and scraping in a fit of rage. Hope, as it seems... Was coming back.

The GLER was a triumph in it's own right - No other transit system in the whole world could second-best it! Sims from across the city would end up riding the GLER for a certain reason regardless if they even worked at Bobinator Financial.  It took every passanger and directed them either to another major transit system, or the place they needed to go to.

Success! Bobinator had saved the city once again and opened the doors for another golden era!

Unfortunatly he passed away not very long after the first GLER train made its journey.

The city was free... But for how long?

Another update due soon!

[jacqulina 162]

Update 78 - The road to Freedom & Gambling

1.1 - San Fernandes has had another change, well, let's say two to be precise.

Can you see it from this viewpoint?

1.2 - How about this one?

That's right! The city's small and robust Airport is no more! Say hello to the brand new San Fernandes Municipal Airport, capable of Servicing International Flights!

1.3 - The changes here are barely noticable.

1.4 - Here too, if you don't look too closely.

1.5 - Your next destination - The revamped Terminal 1.

1.6 - Rather bulky in size, the terminal services 21 gates.

1.7 - And a multitude of small aircraft.

1.8 - The changes are reflected in the housing; the avenue is no longer directly beside the runway.

1.9 - The San Portello Air Force still holds control of the majority of the Airspace, as seen by this major radar for both civil and miltary aircraft.

So that's it... Oh! There is one more thing we must show you!

1.10 - Farmland galore...

Across the desert of farmland and homesteads...

1.11 - Past the Park and the Dam...

Through Interstate and Highway...

1.12 - It begins.

A place called Las Ventura is taking control of the land...

...Now she's really coming...

N.

[Godzillaman 21]

[TheSixCents 0]

The New gambling capital of the USCN! Im happy!

[nealos101 20]

Godzillaman: San Fernandes' population is (At this Moment) 2,162,169 souls.  The computer doesn't run too bad really, apart from the long loading time but that isn't really an issue for me!

Schulmanator: Aye! I have had enough of waiting and I'm going to build her to the best quality possible... Then do a massive BATing fest... Replace the old casinos with new ones... And claim superiority over Las Ventura! w00t! Thanks for commenting!

Dsrwhat316: Give it time my freind, and let her grow.  Airports are pains in the neck - but you will suceed.  Thanks for viewing!

TheSixCents: Ah yes; it seems no one else is up to the challenge - Here she comes!
