    Update 02: Land Development Begins.

    In response to your comments.

    Shadow_Assassin: I'll keep the colors in mind next time, as for the Industrial Sea walls I will get them. What water mod, rock mod and terrain mod do you suggest I download?

    Ninja12: Thanks, I recently transformed all the ground level highways on the map, they all are above ground level.

    SC4 meister: Your question has already been answered, I'm still getting used to it myself, it can be a bit fustrating. 32.gif

    jacqulina: Thanks,I love your work aswell! 44.gif

    Compromise: Thanksm it took me some time to finally figure out how to use the walls with ease.

    andrew george:Thanks, it means alot to me, and I'm going to need alot of luck, as it stand I know little about transportation planning, I look at some of this CJ's and they are stunning, I hope I can pull it off.

    crazyguy0891: Thanks man, I think the embankments will be the pride and joy of the city. =P

    sorchin: You can find them here .

    Romie: Thanks, I don't really have the hang of it, yet. BEar with me. 3.gif

    oroen: I'm interested, I have never been good at building on slopes, let's hope for the best.

    DocJones: Thank you, I wanted to plan my city out before I made it. So it wouldn't be all jumbled. 3.gif

    aleking: Thanks, hope you like the update. 44.gif

    Mayor Dave: I downloaded the region, wish I could tell you. 5.gif

    SkyTearer: I'm hoping it will become a realist metropolis, I'm hopefully going to place the suburbs of the city in the hills, and to the Northwest of the map.

    nealos101:Enjoy the update!

    Mikeaut1: Yeah, I'm only making more work for myself. Haha, I named it after a city up here around Chicago.

    Mexicanboy13r: Thank you, that was accualy my first highway system built in Sim City 4, go figure!

    The Update
    Now that the plans have been laid out for the city, and the construction on the waterfront has been completed, the mayor felt it was time to put this soon to be great city on it's feet.

    powerplant5ed.jpg
    A coal power plant was constructed in the hills, away from the planned Residential and Commercial development, to decrease the exposure of pollution the the sims of Addison. The shoes of the city are now firmly planted into the ground.

    firstconstruction8pu.jpg
    The first zones are...well... zoned! Directly off the highway, they are in a direct path to the future downtown area.

    terraformingindustrialpark2bc.jpg
    Terraforming for the Industry park begins, to meet to growing demand for work in Addison.

    zonedindustry0is.jpg
    Industry is zoned down that same stretch of highway, later to be named. The Addison Transportation Department (ATD) has given the highway the offical tag of AH-101.

    industrydevelops5dm.jpg
    Industry soon develops, seems as if the sims needed jobs, and needed them now!

    developedindustry0bi.jpg
    The factories are completed, and opened. Providing work for all the citizens in Addison.

    residentialgrowthandaddition0p.jpg
    Meanwhile back in town, Residential growth begins, 2 small Commercial strips were added to suit the sims' growning Commercial demands. A school and a few more Residential sectors were added to allow Addison to expand.

    residentialgrowth6te.jpg
    And expanding Addison does well.

    addisonoverall0wf.jpg
    All said and done, this is how Addison looks, 5 months after the city's power plant first opened.

    That's it for now, the newspaper will come early tomorrow, as I have been unable to create a decent newspaper image. 5.gif

    I will introduce some plots, and characters in my next update, the first 10 people who are able to name 1 player from the 1985 Chicago Bears will be added into my CJ one way or another, whether it be a character, or having something named after you. 44.gif

    Just a note, if a person says a player, you may NOT use that same players, each 10 players named must -all- be diffrent players from the 1985 Chicago Bears.

    Next Update scheduled for: 05/17/05

    Enjoy. Questions/comments/concerns? Post 'em!

    Interesting street layout. A potential for some unique transportation networks... or really bad infrastructural headaches. 9.gif And you numbered your highway, excellent! 44.gif
