    Very excited today! Had some great luck today on the plugins front discovering 2 new major things that will help me a lot with my re-creation. The first was the Dat-packer! I can't believe I never got this before, It totally pimp'd my plugins folder from about 2.5GB down to 2GB and reduced my total load time from desktop to large city from about 10min to only 2min and no more simulation stopping ect! Not one problem with it either. Second is something that I may have had on my computer for ages but I never even knew about. There's an optional box in the NAM installer that lets your city produce more car/sim props running around your city than ever before so I can finally have a realistic amount of inner city traffic for Hong Kong. Doing heaps more work now I've got the extra game speed. Here's more of Hong Hom, the district on the western side on the peninsular.

    Afternoon Rush Hour Traffic, Hong Hom...

    Here's the nightlife on the corner on HongKong's Kowloon Park.

    And an overview of the whole of the Hong Hom district. Look at that traffic on those highways!

    This is an example some of the busy, high rise, low wealth housing estates that you will find in Hong Hom.

    Also toady, i made some major building changes to the central skyline over on Hong Kong island. Now the buildings are much more realistic to the real life ones on Hong Kong Island (Think blue glass towers). I also removed the lower quality BAT's from behind the Lippo and replaced them with good quality Ill Tonkso BAT's. Also updated the theam park (under construction area) with a few more rides.

    Nice variety in the skyline for a HK CJ! Usually people have a lot of the same building in their HK recreations but yours is quite different. The sun reflections look great, keep up the good work!
