Wonderful update! That LBT mall looks fantastic! Although it takes forever to get the dependencies lined up (there's so many!)... 3.gif

incredible! that mall is a great addition to SC4; there is a severe lack of good malls available. the realism in this CJ just blows me away, it always keeps me coming back for more!

    Thanks For Your Replies!

    DragonAnime - Thanks for the comment! The mall just opened so I don't think it will see that much traffic just yet. 2.gif

    sEAhAwk fAn121 - Thanks, Chili's owns. 3.gif

    suplado! - Thanks!

    bbfan02 - Thanks! 4.gif

    Schulmanator - Yes it is, thanks to Heblem! 9.gif

    sammerhammer747 - Nope, that's not my creation. And yes it is available mostly by highways because there are no rail lines in Woodhale except for the subway and GLR in Everett. Thanks for the comment!

    Psycho_Teddy - Thanks and yeah I know the dependencies are nuts. 3.gif But it makes it look impressive anyhow. 

    Dsrwhat316 - Thanks! Glad you like the realism!

    Impressive job with Sabin, it looks excellent! I really like the downtown area.

    Nice mall as well. Where are all the cars? 3.gif It still looks good though. The surrounding area is realistic. Keep up the great work, I can't wait for the next update!

    The Fairfax River is a beautiful tributary, meandering through flat plains and steep, rigid cliffs. On a crisp, autumn day, the river is dyed a dark blue, as it vividly rolls downstream.

    Here are some nice pictures of the nature around and along the Fairfax River, in Sabin.

    A Foggy Day in Sabin

    Sabin has a lot of moisture, especially in the spring. Many nights, fog blankets the city and its suburbs, even making travelling highly difficult and dangerous.

    Mist and fog never stop Ruby Tuesdays in Sabin to halt business!

    The Sabin Bridge crosses over a midnight-blue Fairfax River on a foggy night.

    New Brielle

    New Brielle is a beautiful Dutch town located north of Sabin on the Fairfax Plateau. The town is almost entirely Dutch, and all of its buildings are of Dutch architecture. New Brielle is smothered in Woodhale's green, tall, alpines. Also beacause of the fertility of the plateau, there are quite a few oak and maple trees growing naturally.

    When the Fairfax River opened up to many of its explorers and tradesmen, Sabin was indeed popular among the Dutchmen. The Dutch settled on the opposite side of the Fairfax River, forming their own little community of Dutch people.

    Today, New Brielle is a tourist attraction, and a must see place when you visit Woodhale. The actual town has a huge cathedral with an elaborate steeple, along with the urban Dutch architecture. Its residential areas are nestled deep within the mountains of Sabin, under a canopy of Woodhallen Alpines.

    The tallest structure in the town is St. Oda's church, in the main town. The steeple is a very famous structure, and has been for many centuries.

    Very nice work! I really enjoyed looking at the pictures of the little Dutch village with the church surrounding the little homes. Very realistic looking because of how all old European communities were designed around the church and not vice versa.

    Great looking shots, nice matching of buildings. Keep it up!


    Let no one yield, we're on the field where deeds eclipse the sun; where the brave are told on a thread of gold, the tapestry is spun. As they speak of dreams, their armor gleams, this calm before the storm... Where all can see their destiny, the bishop takes the pawn.

    I don't mind the repetetive houses to be honest, I think they work well. The transport map looks cool, well done on that! Looks like a nice little place.
