    some great pics their friend. The region is starting to take shape. Quite a lot of traffic by those farms though don't you think nonetheless very appealing.

    As Amerikaner stated above the trees between the farms are a nice touch. The island and penninsula towns are the best so far.

    About the farms some farms only appear on certain sized lots. Plus make sure you have the (sometimes) massive list of dependancies because if you skip a few it may not work out too good.

    Nice follow -up. I like the layout of the town and they way you have used the streets for the main routes only. This gives the area a more rural feel with all the roads.

    In the last date IMHO I think the farms look a lot better, hope you agree.

    One hint if I may, the river bridges actually conduct electricity so as long as there is a powered lot or electricity pylon at either end, you don't need to run wires across the river.

    Watching out for the next update.

    Cheers

    Dave

    OK guys to keep you updated here is my next update it's very short as this town didn't take long to do so enjoy next update will be sunday as on saturday I'm off to see the Who!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This town hasn't really got a name but is in the Ubone Estuary. Thats the name of the river by the way. Oh yes it has about 5000 people living there.

    uboneestuary8mar0511806gd1.jpg

    This shows a train coming in to the station in the centre of town. Most of the inhabitants commute by train to Gansner as thats where most jobs are.

    uboneestuary19jan051180mq5.jpg

    An overview of the town. Notice the farms are a bit run down. This is because not enough people want to work on farms now. Also notice the bridge which I think works perfectly with the area. Oh yes if you want some more variety in your low density residental I reccemend you get the dutch farmer house as these are colourful and add so much more character to an area

    Ok lastly a region view. To the right of Ubone estaury will be my largest town and you will hopefully see that on sunday.

    Comments:

    cleaner475: I think so to but the traffic by the farms is quite normal I think as it is a main road

    IDS2: Thanks I am trying to promote eco freindliness to my sims

    Amerikaner: You spy to large towns interconnecting but nothing more yet. The defence part was something I learnt in Geography. Hundreds of years ago there lots of tribes in Britian and they didn't really like eachother. On a peninsula theres only one side to defend but say on a river bank there a 3 sides. Didn't mean to confuse and I was trying to add some history to my cj

    snotbowst:  Thanks I think that to, the peninsula makes the town look so much better and the trees although a lengthy process to put down look great too

    powerdc: Thanks for the tip about bridges conducting electricity and I think the cj is improving day by day

    *****atoo-210893: Thanks I hope you carry on following my cj

    good bye my friends next update Sunday

    Will

    Hello my friends this may not be Sunday but I have finished my largest city yet Belsiare. About 80,000 sims live here. Its the capital of the region at the moment.

    So lets get started:

    belsiare3jul38118072447gf6.jpg

    This shows the railway going through the city with a train just pulling into the station

    belsiare5jul38118072451nc3.jpg

    A picture of a small park in the centre of the city

    belsiare9aug37118072283qi6.jpg

    The university of Belsiare surronded by hi tech industry. Lots of the students are from around the region and most end up in the hi tech industry around the univeristy. Theres also a college in the city and the average IQ is 130

    belsiare10jul3711807226eh9.jpg

    This is where the royal family used to live and now Parliment use it as their headquarters

    OK guys I now know my plan for the next few weeks. I need to fill in a gap where some farming can go in Ubone Estuary and Im going to expand eastwards from Belsiare But anyway heres a pic of the region transport map and a pic unruined by lines and city names. By the way the population of the region is about 100,000 sims. The last pic is the area I'm expanding into

    Does anyone know the program name and links so that you can see a pic of the whole region. I would really appreciate this and feel it will enhance the cj as it becomes bigger

    very nice pics there my friend - please give me a link to that water mod you used - its looks spectacular! - good idea of covering tha landfill makes the area look nicer with it hidden behind trees -

    heres a tip - hide the control panel when taking pics for your CJ it gives a better less crowded image.
