Tierra de la Oscuridad

[Micah 16]

Edit: WELCOME TO PAGE 3 OF Tierra de la Oscuridad

Woah, I thought it was going to look ugly, but it doesn't! (You know I'm joking with you. )

Seriously though, it looks incredible. Nice Roman-looking football stadium.

I have to admit, this is really impressive sis. Hey, can I have a house there?

Marc:  dang bro  I thought I was going to open my third page, but you just had to post while I was writing replies   just kidding, I'm glad you commented!    I suppose you can live next to the mayors mansion! lol

jacqulina: yea i dl'ed some more , I will show them in a couple updates from now, lol, thanks for commenting

Schulmanator: i'm glad you like the stadium, i thot it was cool, but it takes up a lot of room in a city lol, thanks for stopping by!

owenluby: Yes it is the only thing that makes my cities halfway decent lol if you ask me, I downloaded the euro street textures mod today, does it work on existing cities or just on new ones you build? 

crazychickensc12: lol! thanks for commenting!!

Gecko_2006: lol thanks, I like zoning around diagonals, it's fun

luker91: lol you actually like where I put that landfill, I thought it was kind of.... blonde... of me to put it there your suburbs are amazing!! actually what i liked best about san lucas was your parks, you made the coolest parks!! im still trying to learn how to make them lol.  Anyways...thanks for commenting again!!

cityhawk: avenues are my favorite lol!  No I said that because I've shown only simgoober's hospital in like all my updates(I like it lol) But I have downloaded a whole bunch more so you won't be tired of seeing it   That stadium is by migo, here are two versions of it, I think I got the older version by mistake (thought it looked kinda messed up lol) Oh and those red houses, I like them, but I can't find any more low-density housing that i like, so they're like the only thing that will grow   (i use only euro tileset) (err whatever it's called lol)

Ok here is monett (sorry about the two pics connected to each other but I can't figure out how to separate them lol)

St Twiggyan Hospital (bottom right corner) and another Glenni bat sharing a parking lot:

Update 5 will be.. Steadfast... and the update after that... is a secret lol

[GMT 389]

very cool. I like the park area in the center. Well layed out.

waiting for more

[seemurray2 21]

Hey Twigster - beautiful pictures you have shown so far, I love all the trees and the parking, very realistic.  You're doing a great job!

[masochist 111]

BlondeTwiggy! I like what you're doing so far! I'm kind of envious, because I couldn't get Glenni's lots to look quite right in my neighborhoods, but you've used them very well! I, like mostly everyone else, also love the amount of trees you're using (and the fact that you use different trees). It brings a lot of character to the city (unlike mine, because if I even remember to sprinkle seeds over backyards and in parks, they're all the same tree...I'm just that lazy...). I'll keep watching this one! Can't wait for the next update!

[Gecko_2006 1]

Beautiful once again. I am especially fond of the rowhomes in the upper left hand corner of the city.

i probably like the landfill because i rarely use them (i have a lot that takes the trash) but yah thanks for the compliments.... i love your use of glenni's stuff... it looks very nice in your cities...i also like your use of parking lots... very nice update!

Luke

[Kippis05 2]

I like what I see twiggy, keep up with the awesome updates! Looking forward to more

[Bombastix 0]

I like your planning, spreading out buildings and lots of green etc. I like that!

[asturianu 4]

OH!! INCREDIBLE!!!!

I like your style a lot. This European looking city is very nice and it has to be a good place to live!

Nice work!!

Cristian

[infinitum19 0]

beautiful suburb

[Simen 1]

lovely work here although those windmills seem oddly misplaced

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Everyone: woohoo I just had another downloading spree from the stex so hopefully you won't be bored of the same houses showing up all the time anymore lol

GMT: Thanks for commenting, im glad you like the park !

seemurray2: Hey! thanks for stopping by! i do love trees lol

masochist: lol yes  I love glenns stuff. rofl about the trees -  I don't like the ones that you have to wait for them to grow, so I use the already made ones lol, it takes a while to spread them throughout the city though. 

Gecko_2006: Thanks for commenting again, those rowhomes are some of my favorite!

luker91: lol i know there is a lot that drops it off the side of the city tile but i havent downloaded anything like that, i just use the old fashioned ugly landfill

Kippis05: sweet, thanks for stopping by my friend

Bombastix: thank you

asturianu: good to see you again Cristian!!

infinitum19: glad you like !

Simen: lol I would have put them all together in a little windmill farm but i didnt have enough at the first and had to add more

mmk sorry I made this update a bit hastily lol, steadfast took a while to do though, mostly because of this lag I keep having (I shudder to think of large city tiles lol) But hopefully I will get stuff for my computer to fix this problem soon. 

ok so here is steadfast....

lol well it's not much, hopefully my newly dl'ed loot will make my cities a bit more interesting lol, hope to see you next time.  Update 6 teaser will be on wednesday or thursday.

[cityhawk 12]

You must either build quick or have all the time in the world after school to make all of this, or both! I say this because you're spitting out updates just about everyday! Well, I'm glad you have the time and will to treat us with your eye candy! I have to say that I still admire your carefree style of laying transportation networks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember seeing any railroad tracks running through any of your cities. If this is right, do you plan to lay some railroad tracks? I'm not saying that it would be better or anything like that; I'm just curious.

I look forward to more!

[owenluby 1]

Wow Twiggs! This is just great! Awesome stuff!

I would love to see a transport region shot...

[jacqulina 162]

hi my friend,wow you are doing so well,another excellent couple of updates,lol.i hope you are paying your workers in your city double time for building so quick lol.you have done so well at putting it all together,i am not sure about the windmills my friend is there no other power supply you could have used,a great park very pretty,the parking areas do make it look very realistic,you have used the trees just right and a nice assortment too.nice row homes you have placed them really well,lovely suburbs.the pics are wonderfull especially the night ones.what is your transport like does it cope well.excellent work so far and awesome pics. 

[Firebird 40]

*Thinks it's time to come out of lurking*

Beautiful cities, twiggy! It's all so green! I think you overdid it a little bit on the trees.

It makes me think about starting a CJ. .*Hint hint* lol

[GMT 389]

Nice new update.

I really like the pictures, especially the sunset/night shots.

waiting for more cool work

[seemurray2 21]

Hey Twigster that looks awesome, I really like the first pic of this update, the one with the red sunset, or sunrise - whatever it is it looks good!

[Gecko_2006 1]

Hmmm all roads lead to the supercenter. Why is that? You have such a unique and aesthetically pleasing layout that never ceases to amaze me. Wow- all the diagonal streets so gracefully woven together! And the BATs just seem to blend in with it all! I'm keeping an eye on your city journal now- so hopefully I won't miss anything anytime soon. Hope you keep these updates coming- and I'd love to see a new region shot!

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

cityhawk:  No lol, if you look at the first pic in my first update, you see 5 cities in my region, I am just going through all of them (Steadfast was the last)  Well I did have to finish Aurora & steadfast  off (they had some empty spots) but other than that I did not build these cities as I did the updates, they were already built.  Yes I do plan to build a railroad(I discuss that in this update lol)  Well thanks for commenting!!

owenluby: well its in this update lol, thanks for stopping by again

jaqulina: well they arent building as fast as I'd like them to lol   no doubt there is something on the stex I could use that doesn't have pollution but other than that I dont really have a choice, I dont want to use anything w/pollution and I think the solar power plant is ugly lol.  My transport...err, they complain about the avenue being crowded, but I never listen to their pleas lol   thanks for commenting jac!

fire_bird: lurking lol, I didn't know you did that in the CJs, you can never have too many trees i dont think lol, where i live there are tons of them.  you should start a cj, i would love to see your cities

GMT: thanks for commenting again, im glad you like the dusk shots !

seemurray2: lol alot of people like those pics, thanks for stopping by

Gecko_2006: lol I didn't plan it that way, do you mean the Frye's in the middle? thanks for your comments, I really appreciate it

I decided to forego the update 6 teaser lol so enjoy.  Here is what I have been doing with the region lately!

Before:

After:

i know it's not lovely at the moment lol but it's a work in progress.  I randomly formed a little lake and river kinda to the southwest, so I'm going to work on developing cities around the water.  The sims call the lake Cloverleaf Lake, and the river Snake River.  I've started 3 cities around the bodies of water: Vista del Lago, Lexicon, and Salina.  I'm also working on developing the area around the place where I want my downtown, Santa Maria.  you can see the highway and the avenues for it planned out in the pic above. 

Es bonita! lol and you really must excuse my poor Spanish.  You can see the lake here too.  If I ever download some farm stuff, I may put farms in the southeast corner, along with more suburbs.  woohoo. 

Here is a transportation map of the region

Yeah it's pretty random(did you expect anything else?) I also plan to put a subway in the downtown area, and a railroad in some of the suburbs/farms/whatever

Here are some pics from Lexicon, the city underneath Vista del Lago:

[crazychickensc12 84]

well hey that is some mighty nice terraforming!! the expansions are looking great!! awesome pics keep it up!!

[seemurray2 21]

Still looks awesome, I like your water mod too!

[Firebird 40]

I usually lurk around in the CJ's when I have time. And, I am pretty sure I will start a Cj now. I just need to get my cities built up a bit.

Nice  terraforming! Nice city planning too. I'm usually one to just get the whole city built as fast as possible. lol. Lately tho I've been planning out my downtown. But, I've hit a road block. After a major update to my second largest city...the game quit itself without saving...

[owenluby 1]

Awesome!!!

It seems as though you have made a diaganal grid...

Can't wait for more!

[GMT 389]

great work here again!

looks like you have some great ideas in mind to deal with the next time

waiting for more

[masochist 111]

Nice looking lake and river you have there! I can't wait to see what you do with the Downtown area. It's hard to anticipate what kind of CBD you'll end up building...so I actually have to wait and see...dangit! Good update!

[jacqulina 162]

hi twiggs thats some very nice terraforming there im glad you had a go at it my friend and it turned out well,see you can do it.excellent building work i cant wait to see what you do next.as for the power thingys i think there are some on the stex that are pollution free.

[purpledaddy 6]

I really like your reservoir. It reminds me of a lot of midwestern U.S. woodlands.

Oh, and the names of your cities are cool too! They make me think of Impressionist painters!

[salut221 10]

Sorry if I missed a couple of updates . It's just because I don't remember every place where I commented . The <Before/After> region is quite impressive . Again , your playing style is awesome ! I can't wait 'til the update for the downtown ! I'll be a frequent visitor , so don't forget to update ! Keep up that great work !
