MY 1ST CJ!

[bbfan02 23]

Hey everyone, and first, I want to ask everyone what does CJ mean? I know its sad that I ask that but w/e.

Also, how do you get your city's pictures in your city journal?

Backround

Okay, I want to make a nice, quant surburban farming town. I am only going to introduce everything in this edition and ill start the city when I get home from the shore, next wednesday. (July 18th). My idea is to make mountain ranges in the north and the south, and a nice valley in the middle for the farming and for the building. I only want to put commerical and residential into it. I dont want a messy city with smog all around it. Also, do you people hav any ideas for any files that could help me out for making the town? Any suggestions are welcome for any aspect of the city.

Thanks,
-bbfan02-

Cool! Welcome to the world of CJs.

BTW, you will need some sort of industrial, maybe high tech for you?

Lol.  I'm looking forward to your city journal it certainly sounds interesting.

[AceofSpades 1]

It does sound great. And whatever buildings mods are watever you need for your cj, you can just search up a general name for it on the exchange and you'll be garunteed to find it.

[bbfan02 23]

Thanks everyone, Schulmanator, how do you get high tech jobs in your town without having all of the dirty other crap? Do I raise all other types and hav high tech lower?

[bbfan02 23]

Also, I found a few files that could really help me out for the mountains in the south and the north. They are Pegasis's Tree Pines and Pine Trials. I think they would really help me get that rural setting in the mountain areas. Do you know of any more Pegasis files that could help me?

thats great, welcome to the new life of CJing, you sold your soul as soon as you made a new topic, lol just playing with you.  Hope things go well!

[Schulmanator 5,815]

Exactly! Set dirty to about 15%, manuf to about 11% and high tech to about 4%.

Search on the STEX with keywords, such as "Pegasus" You will find plenty of stuff -- more than you could possibly use! I have ~1.6 GB right now!

[bbfan02 23]

Thanks, ill tell you all the files I will use okay?

[AceofSpades 1]

You probably dont have to tell us but i shouldnt talk cause ive never started a cj...

You might want to get a water mode... those always look cool

[bbfan02 23]

Do you think 26 files will screw up my game and make it run slower?

[mencc1701 0]

26 isn't that much... and generally, the game only slows down when loading up. It takes SC4 a minute or two longer to boot with the mods I have installed, but once you have it running it goes fine.

And I like your thoughts on the design of your region so far, I look forwards to seeing what you come up with!

[bbfan02 23]

Thanks, i'm gonna start it on wednesday cause im away from my home computer where SC4 is installed. I rounded up some nice files that could really help me out for setting the scene.

"get home from the shore" are you a marine by any chance or are you just on vacation? Anyways good luck with the CJ!

[AceofSpades 1]

[bbfan02 23]

[bbfan02 23]

[bbfan02 23]

how to I make it smaller if im using imageshack?

[bbfan02 23]

I looked at the posting thread in the Omnibus and it didnt say how to, it just said the maximum images were 800x600. Your great? What? Cant you just tell me how to make the pictures allowed on simtropolis? Do I change the "Add Tags" section to 800x600 15 inch monitor if im using imageshack?

Hi, bbfan02 ...

All right this now - your pictures are good !!!!

Well, well, well ...

Fine beginning - and I like your 1st CJ ....

Come on ....

[dralin321 0]

For your first cj, you are doing pretty well (at least in my opinion). Your region looks like a great place to make a city!

[bbfan02 23]

Here is another shot of my city. Please im sorry if it doesnt meet the requirements for simtropolis, i just dont kno how to get the way it needs to be:

[UltraGIR XL 3]

You're doing fine so far.

For your layout, I'd suggest looking at other people's journals to get a good idea of how things should be set.

Good luck!
