Region update. Click links for full size.

Current population is 36.3 million, but I have a few cities ready to grow that should add a few million more to that soon.

This is pretty good.  Been to Vancouver a few times but it has been about 20 years since I have been there.  From my memory this looks awesome.

Thanks!  I've actually never been, but it's on my bucket list.

I'll also be the first to say that it probably doesn't much look like Vancouver on the ground haha.  I'm too much of a perfectionist to attempt a legit re-creation, so I basically took Vancouver's planning principals and built from there.

Another Vancouver update now that Southeast Vancouver has largely been completed.

Before:

After:

Thanks!

Gotta schedule the next CJ entry of Rota for the next weekend! In the meantime, enjoy the region's progress!

I was poking around in my files and found the very first (and only) region I ever terraformed by hand:

^ Updated with water, rock, beach, and snow mods.

Hello again Regionites...      been some time since posting images to the forum. Here's an update of Groovington after around 4 years ago.

(everyone's large regions is giving me little regions complex) 

The blue is the proposed expansion.

 

[Lucario Boricua 7,049]

@infamousjbe

 

It's a great-looking region! (do you have the aerial view version to complete the post?) I can also notice some creative street layouts in-between what I presume to be suburban areas.

In the meantime, gonna add the obligatory interim update between city journal entries!

 

֍ KINGDOM OF ROTA ֎

Interim regional view update prior to 12th CJ entry
850,000 inhabitants and approaching a complete look!

 

Aerial view--notice how the Cameran River Valley looks so lush with farms!

 

Starting to run out of settlements to establish, and also running out of flat terrain--that won't stop me from reaching my next population milestone, 1,150,000 inhabitants!

 

And showing a re-vamped look for the regional map! I'm using one of my all-time favorite mods, the HBS American Transportation View. Unlike the NAM's transportation view mod, this one helps distinguish better the local roads and streets, and provides better contrast with dark zones and bright park areas. Might update it later with proper transportation network labeling. Keep in mind that this one isn't compatible with the Real Highway Mod.

This is my current test region....it needs to be big enough and with enough variety in RCI to make sure the bats & mods that I release behave properly out in the wild.

After that last dismal of a region post, and request for the missing Sat view, decided to do a proper reintroduction of Groovington. Started this region in 2013/2014ish. Since making the jump to a better laptop, seems a few deps didn't make it so there are a few boxes here an there. Hopefully will be able to track down the missing deps at some point.

Groovington Region. 4x4 medium. easy, 3gb custom content/mods NAM36, Total Organic Growth

Groovington Region Sat View: 395k pop

City Names:

Transportation Map:

Now that we've gotten acquainted with the region, let's meet the cities.

Snake River: 45k pop : yr 360 

West Bear Mtn: 29k pop : yr 359

East Bear Mtn: 25K (Main CO area) : yr 330

North Plains: 30k pop : yr 364

Snake River South: 27k pop : yr 363

Drip River: 39k pop : yr 343

Downtown Groovington: 51k (Main I-D/M) : yr 363

East Groovington (East G) 47k : yr 335

Trouble Mtn: 9k pop: yr 353

River Bend: 43k pop : yr 358 (Main Beach)

Groovington (Secondary CO): 28k pop : yr 362

Point Judith (Named After My Mother Judy): 10k pop : yr 358

South Plains: 8883 pop: yr 342

Trouble Cove : 4632 pop : yr 315

Molehill Mtn (Tourist Trap) : 0 pop (86 jobs tho) : yr 178

Hope that was a little better than the last attempt. Will be posting more images in the various 'Show Me' threads.

I try to keep all cities fairly close to each other in years throughout the growth of the region. Typically play in 10-20 year chunks per city. GVT might be just about completely developed, but there is much growth to go before it outgrows itself.

Thank you so much for the compliments. I try to build as organically as possible. No plopping so far. But I fee like I might want to cherry pic some unique skyscrapers to plop as the central CO DT grows. 

Noticed that I forgot to post the city Trouble Cove. Have added it to the og post, and here just for those that have already looked at the others.

(Edit) and I believe I've pretty much fixed my few brown box issues that popped up after the exporting to another laptop. 

Trouble Cove : 4k pop : yr 315

It's that time again!!

Nice region!!  I like the layout.  Looks very realistic.

Updated region shot of Vancouver.  Currently rebuilding the tile in yellow:

Thanks!

Looking good everyone!

Latest region shot .... taken in Banished and using Cheat Engine to access the normally inaccessible cameras

[SIM-ple Jack 17,450]

A region I called the Gold Coast. Farms to the north, ports and industry to the south, and not much in between.
