go! BEEBSY!! looks awsome!

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull work and pics looking very good so far my friend

[beebs 129]

Today, I thought I might show you quickly how I go about making my residential areas.. From the city's perspective of course.

Here's an area cleared for residential development, sometime around when the city first rerouted the H3 at Capilano Ave. This is juuust north of where housing and development ends on 45th St.

As time progressed, the developer started work on it, putting in roads and other utilities. The power lines may be moved, but at present will pose no threat to the future residents of the area; they're simply an eyesore.

And here we stand today, a fully developed area. Note how the developer has keenly left space for more roads should they decide to expand the area further.

The wonderful Chellingworth Bridge. Out of nowhere, but hey.

That's it for now, folks!

Deever: Hehe, glad you enjoyed the update! No shotguns... Gun laws are a lot stricter in Canada than they are in the States.

cheese91: Thanks!

Schulmanator: Thank you! Green space is what I'm all about.

Cjah: You like interchanges, eh? Might have something else for you on my next update.

BlondeTwiggy: Hehe, yeah. Thanks!

Frankie_Grove: Thanks!

Hanson784: Thank you!

daniel01: Thanks, as always!

Mike the Mayor: Thank you, hope to see you again!

Palpatine001: Hehehe We'll see.

seahawk fan121: Thanks!

jacqulina: Thank you!

Nice little tutorial! I must ask you, what trees do you use in those suburbs? I really like them, and might use them in some of my cities. Keep up the great work!!

[Hopelandic 0]

What a cool city journal! I love it, and keep up the excellent work my friend.

[Mikeaut1 261]

Wow, excellent update. A nice little tutorial on how you make those fine looking suburbs, great!

[ajay_law 1]

I used to make suburbs like that, until it got too time consuming. They look better like that anyway.

[Deever 23]

Very flexible layout beebs! Your burbs have always looked good even if the houses were the Maxis ones, which I like.

[sc4portugal 10]

gREAT work, wondeful CJ, lovely Newspaper

[Palpatine001 57]

Mr Beebs! Now what can I say here?

Ahh yes how to build low density suburbs - as you know or are about to know I am about to finish off the last part of high density development in The Core - Solaria, and need to start low density suburbia before hitting those farming blocks - any tips Beebs

As for the development

4 thumbs ups BUT (yes there is a but) I am waiting for at least 2 bus stops here - they do wunders indeed (and so do toll boths for annoying commuters)

Oh and where does that arch bridge go to?

[Krio 624]

These past updates have been good, but if I ever will travel to Capilano Valley, i'll travel by bus or taxi. Interchanges looks deadly!

[homeandaway 1]

great shots my friend!

take care and im always looking forwards to seeing more of your work my friend!

I like the way you do your residential areas, but in my view, i prefer symmetrical streets! So, is just an opinion!

[Frankie_Grove 33]

great update beebo!

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

i like how you make your neighborhoods, with the little random diagonal streets, cool to see how it developed, i also like the bridge pic

[Livin in Sim 83]

Hi, Beebs,

Capilano Valley is coming along nicely.  Those interchanges...

*Was that our exit back there, Ethel?--Oh, dear, yes, that was it.--Well, there's bound to be another one soon.--Do you think so? I really need to find a ladies room, how far, do you suppose?--Well, that depends...* 

I like the design of the recreational areas of the city, they are bound to be popular.  Thanks for showing the steps for the suburban development.  It makes it easier to grasp to see the streets before building takes place.  Where I live, the RL newer areas are quite similar with the meandering streets.

Take care.

those euro houses make the best suburbs.

I was just reading the other updates also lol

El Exigente, the demanding one, expects his cocaine to be pure and his master planned communities corrupt to the highest degree. Legend has it he visits each police checkpoint to see that all innocent drivers are being hassled. If he is pleased, they are allowed to wave the next vehicle in. If not, many are killed

[beebs 129]

It's update time! I promise a newspaper soon! I'm holding up for someone else so... well... you'll see.

And here's the H3-H22 Interchange... I like to call it the Chellingworth Interchange, myself.

It's a heck of a lot simpler than the Capilano-H3 Interchange.

Just another angle.

And a zoomed out shot, showing off the Chellingworth Bridge as well.

And here it is on the latest region map!

That's it for now, folks!

Glenni: Thånk yøu!

tomdapom: They're the Cycledogg trees, IIRC. Thank you!

Hopelandic: Thanks!

Mikeaut1: Thank ya, Mikey!

ajay_law: I've been doing them this way for so long, it's almost second nature to me. In fact, I can barely make good commercial districts or downtowns anymore.

Deever: Thank you!

sc4portugal: Thanks very much!

Palpatine001: Hehe use a demi-grid once you start in low density, and move into more twisty roads after... that's the most realistic way to do it. And thank ya!

Krio: Hehe... you get used to them after a while.

homeandaway: Thank you!

waldner: Hehe.. to each his own!

Frankie_Grove: Thank yo!

BlondeTwiggy: Thanks, twiggster!

Livin in Sim: LOL I'm sure I could make them worse if I tried. Thank you!

Apostate: Hehe yup.. I think it's just the similarity of the houses that makes them great.

[patriots_1228 51]

awesome, beautiful water! what photoshopping program do you use?

[rewright 804]

Yes, very nice region and great presentation. I'd be interested in which program you use for your graphics, etc.

[beebs 129]

Just to answer you two quickly, so you're not waiting for a few days for an answer, I use Photoshop for any editing I do. Thanks for the comments, glad you like it!

[Deever 23]

Wacky interchanges really. Well, most real life intersections/interchanges are kinda messy but they get the job done. Love it beebs!

[homeandaway 1]

OMFG! - fantastic pics! - i love the scenery, and the road style!

take care and i await to see more of your great work my friend
