Very nice use of water

[IDS2 3,346]

jacky:

Thanks, and yeah, a lot of time taken to just get that part done, and thanks, also a bit tricky as it was my first, thanks and I'll have a special update dedicated to the horses in the future!

Schul:

While I was on vacation making updates you were back at home reading the updates! Lol.

crazyyaya:

Do you mean the water mod? Or the map? Anyway thanks for visiting!

I leave you guys today with a teaser:

As you can see the high density is tapering off and Brunswick is complete. All that space to the left, I know,  it's a lame excuse but it's a wildlife reserve. The final population of Brunswick topped out at 434,000 before the thing crashed. It's fine though. Everything still exists. Enjoy!

[Voulpiotis 4]

OMG, great developement!

One question (as usual): In our mosaic, at the top I want that brown, VERY tall building, next to "The Tower".

[homeandaway 1]

wooh!, that is a great city and skyline, cant wait to see more of this!

Take care

~Alex~

[Giligone 10]

hmmm, well. I missed a couple updates there! haha. Good work though. Thats a great mosaic. Really shows off your CBD. haha, I knew I recognized your map... but I couldn't put my finger on it till just now. hehe, ohhh New Zealand.

[IDS2 3,346]

Well, another teaser for you: the name of the city to the north is Elmview, with a nice downtown of its own, some medium and low density with a British accent, plenty of lofts and seawalls. Population 74,000.

The city freezes on me  lot, so it's taking a while to build the city. Anyway, expect a nice update and possibly a mosaic in the near future, as tomorrow is friday! Huzzah! Enjoy the picture!

[Voulpiotis 4]

Looking forawrd to it!

[homeandaway 1]

Voulpiotis:

Hehe, thanks, oh, that building? Berkner Bank by Eburress, found here.

homeandaway:

Thank you! Just wait until you see Elmview.

Giligone:

Aha! Thanks, at least they're getting better, they're fun too. And yeah, familiar? hehe.

Voulpiotis:

Well then here it is!

homeandaway:

Thanks! Yes, it kind of blends well. Lots of different styles.

jacky:

Thank you very much, it seems that will come rather soon, most likely to the north will be lots and lots of rural areas.

Update 5: Elmview.

In this update:

-more mosaics

-new water mod

Well then let's see it!

---

Ah, Brunswick, though it was beautiful it was time to find somewhere else to live, preferably cleaner with cheaper housing. So no sooner had I wanted more development than a new large city spung up to the north. The name? Elmview, population was already 216,000. Finally, a bit less crowded perhaps?

Hmm, pretty close. Not bad for a second try!

Now, after seeing the beautiful panoramas and mosaics in the Brunswick Herald, I was determined. What a marvelous place! But I must introduce myself. George Python, pleased to meet you.

A bit dilapadated in some areas, but hey, it happens in every city.

So I took another mosaic. This one turned out well:

Overview:

Enjoy!!!

[Amerikaner 42]

WOW love the mosaic its really cool, great updates

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Blimey! Those mosaics are awesome. Nice work all round, my friend. Keep it up.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Nice stuff!

[homeandaway 1]

wooh - that is one heck of an skyline!. - and despite some very fe buildings being dilipidated - it seems to add texture!. - i think.

and after your reply...bring on elmview!

take care

~Alex~

[jacqulina 162]

i cant wait to see the rural my friend,but in the meantime another excellent update and mosaic,beautifull work and pics

[IDS2 3,346]

Let there be replies!

---

Amerikaner:

Thank you! Just wait till you see these!

Mike the Mayor:

Gee, thanks! I'm glad you like it!

Schulmanator:

I'm glad you approve! I was wondering what that United Rentals truck was doing out on my street corner...

homeandaway:

Hehe, thanks, and yeah, it kind of blends in! And I have even more of it...take care.

jacky:

Of course, I'll start that stuff pronto. I'll just stake out an area, thanks again, they're getting fun to make!

---

And so, the replies stopped and looked up.

---

Now for more of Elmview and a new town: Florawell Beach!

So, this is the first city to not use seawalls. I also hand-modified the terrain quite a bit. Ready?

---

Hey there, Jim Creed here. Former mayor of Brunswick. Right after Creamte Python. In fact, he's mayor again now. Well, after staking out Elmview a bit, I headed south across the bay, to a new development. Touristy, that's all I can say.

I walked into a library down the road a ways and found some statistics: (the tall brown building)

So, tell me people, who the heck is this IDS2 guy?

That would be me, bub.

Oops. Sorry.

I thought so. I thought you practiced your lines longer than that!

That was odd. Anyway, I looked at the inlet, saw a snorkel rental shack, rented a snorkel and took a swim. What a beautiful reef!

Of course, I was right downtown on what they called "Florakiki Beach." (go to Honolulu to find out what that means)

Egad! Darkness fell fast!

Finally, from a cigar boat I got this picture:

Jim Creed says goodnight!

Enjoy the update everybody and please leave a comment!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Nice stuff! Enjoyed the night shots.

[homeandaway 1]

wooh! - thats ultimate and mega man! - wooh, FAN-TAST-SIC! - im loss for words, its so realistic an'all! - cant wait for more!

take care and PM if you need anything

your friend and fan

~Alex~

[jacqulina 162]

excellent work on the terraforming my friend,wonderfull layout,and beautifull pics i do love the night shots

[Giligone 10]

you've really taken to the mosaics! haha, good work.

[Voulpiotis 4]

Well, your city totalyl rocks, great developement, awesome mosaics, but, it is too unrealistic that you ain't got any industrial population! How do you manage to grow the city?

[IDS2 3,346]

I added new title banners! What do you think of them? Giveaways or artistic?

[homeandaway 1]

cool - very nice indeed - not to much simple and cant wait to see more pics as always!

take care my friend

~Alex~

PS - Hope that water mod was alright!

[belfastuniguy 18]

Very nice work so far. It's all developing well. Look forward to seeing you grow the region

[SamTheMan 0]

Not bad so far. I like the skyscrapers your using. How is traffic in your city? Are you going to have some rural and farm areas, or is it just going to be one giant city?

[sc4portugal 10]

Great work

[jacqulina 162]

i like the banners great work my friend

[Simcity Freak 0]

I don't want to anger you, but I think everyone could build a huge city if he uses demand mods....

[homeandaway 1]

always looking forwards to seeing more of your great work my friend!

hope all is well

~Alex~

[IDS2 3,346]

Time for a long list of replies, just what I like actually.

---

Schulmanator:

Thanks! Those are my favorite.

homeandaway:

Hehe, TH-AN-KS! I'm glad it turned out well, you truly are an expert. Thanks again.

jacqulina:

Thank you, and yes it was fun to do that part, expect something special regarding the horses coming soon!

Giligone:

I sure have! It's like a new addiction. I can't stop making them! Lol.

Vopulpiotis:

Ah, thanks, and aobut the industrial: I don't know why I never place much, you're right that is is unreal, but I usually save it for one big smoggy area. I don't quite know completely though.

homeandaway:

Thanks, I try to make it enough to handle, but not too much to take at once. Though my cities aren't to that point of jaw-drops yet. I hope to gain that though.

belfastuniguy;

Thank you, glad you could pay a visit, it's pretty fun to build the region so far!

SamTheMan:

Hehe, thanks, the traffic is surprisingly even, not too thick and not quite bare. It really depends on the area. And yes, I'll have rural, I just haven't got to the suburbs yet, the inner-city is going up as of now.

sc4portugal:

Thanks! I appreciate that.

jacky:

Thank you, I'll try to have a differnet one for every city if I can.

Simcity Freak:

You have a point. But my point is the city isn't the whole cj. It's the suburbs and the sprawl and the rural as well.

homeandaway:

Thanks Alex, I really appreciate all your help, especially the water mod, I like it so far especially in this next city...

---

Haha! I like doing replies. Now time for update 7 or so, Cedarville.

---

Aieee! The pics in this update are kind of grainy. You have been warned. Enjoy it anyway and i will try to fix this problem.

---

This update will be more unbiased, meaning I won't put in much commentary. I'll let you decide what the pictures mean. So I'll sttart with the stats:

And now for the gallery:

I really like this picture of the rail tunnels...can you see them?

A couple of region views:

So, basically, Cedarville is a suburb, a bit compact and tight but the close homes next to the botiques and other businesses are very typical of some inner Minneapolis/ ST. Paul suburbs. I hope you agree and enjoy the update!
