wow awesome, so many STEX buildings. The HK asia areas probably my favorite.

cant wait for the next update which it looks like will be on page 8......lol jk.

[gonza122 0]

That city seems to be going to be HUGE!

Nice use of the HK asia buildings!

The ONLY thing that isnt very realistic is the highway & elevated rail walls...

Keep it up!

[Cjah 15]

Now hats what I call an update...so good it burns my update...

Excellent port and I was expecting something great like this update today for some reason...

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

[KingTitan 6]

Great Update there. Great Pics. Awesome details. Great Stuff there friend. Nice to see the "newer" version of the sears tower being used. You really have some beautiful work there .

[crazychickensc12 84]

whoa dude awesome work, i see you have been very busy that downtown is just awesome!!! keep up the great work!!

[cityhawk 12]

Man, I'm loving this city!! Great use of custom content, which is everything in this journal, and that's what makes this a true STEX Tribute CJ! Dude, how big is your plugins folder, and how fast does your game run with all of the plugins you have?!

Looking forward to more!

yeah my plugins now is just shy of 3 gigs i try and deleate what i don't use. As for gameplay issues you are right large tiles lag once they get largely developed.

I only made the tile that the cbd is in and the port large so that they could have connections to all the neighbors, and avoid the more than one connection per tile issue with demand. the med and small tiles still run pretty quick. my game load time is about 5 mins and the large cbd tile takes another 5 to load. Commutter are what really lags the game, i trans queried my busiest highway in the cbd (over 40,000 cars) and it almost froze my computer.

[octaves 4]

Wow

This is amazing, I just love the Sears Tower in there!  Great job.

[Glenni 1,447]

Yikes,damn AK, that downtown skyline is sweeeeeeet!!!

[____----____ 37]

[BurroDiablo 222]

Awesome as always. Love the whole diagonalness of the roads to the right... and generally most of the roads. You always seem to have this nack for pre planning your cities... maybe on paper, but most likley in that insane head of yours.

Great work!

[Krio 626]

Region population? 0, you have because plopped everything! Hah hah!

Seriously: very nice city indeed you have, but the concrete hell with "dead" grass in the east and south are not eyecandy, but they are realistic. Keep up the awesome work.

Good work AK

[Voulpiotis 4]

And again wow! Keep up the good work AK and that cj will be one of the best of Simtropolis.
