wow really great update there my friend,coming on so well

[gabry85 2]

Wow, cool night shot, great work with the underwater rail!

Congrats on the 1M population!

I understand that Ryukyu has also replaced some of the Philippines.  Now, as a Filipino, I don't like that.   But everything else (like your Oku city) looks great!  Keep up the good work!

Great job! I love the tunnel and the breakwater set you used. Great night shot too.

[patriots_1228 51]

take out the asian buildings and its downtown portland lol.

Great teaser there skyliner, portland suprisingly fits in with the asian, i guess you could call them w2w's, although i don't know there technical terms.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Wall to walls? Is that what W2W means? It's the ONLY thing I can think of...

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Lovely pic there. Looks very vibrant!

[nihonkaranws 88]

REPLIES

Jacky: Thanks! Hope this next shot is even better!

Pats: LOL those aren't Portland buildings, those are some of JSteed's apartment blocks, but those do fit well in my cities.

NMUSpidey: Yeah, i think he meant W2W.

Mike the Mayor: Thanks, although i got rid of that night mod, or should i have kept it?

Nihon: I think this next one is a full update?

Osaka101: I will update this no matter what, just not regularly like the others.

Welcome to Yokiba, the financial capital of the Republic of Ryukyu. Yokiba is situated on the Southern Coast of Ryukyu is home to prestine weather conditions. The Central area is a large skyscraper forest surrounded by mountains and the ocean. In Yokiba bay, is a large marine habitat with many species of fish living in the reefs and sea grass. Because of this, boats, and fishing is prohibited around this area. Wangan Dori, surrounds the coast. The Yokiba Metro subway runs underneath in Central and surfaces outside of the area. Central is also home to enourmous apartment blocks.

Heres a shot of a part of Central along Yokiba Bay

Also a new flag!

More to come this week, since its Spring Break!

I discover this CJ, it's amazing, I like your city, it looks really asiatic, the tunnel is very realistic, and the pics with fireworks are very very beautiful !! Great work.

[Schulmanator 5,813]

Excellent mosaic and a very creative flag. Nice work indeed.

[panthersimcity4 162]

Oooh, I love that skyline, I don't know why, just feels so ballanced! The underwater foliage is awesome too.

[gabry85 2]

Cool night shot and mosaic, I like the bottom of the sea look especially! Love the new flag, great shapes!

[nihonkaranws 88]

I feel like an idiot for missing this update! Amazing job Sky! I'm looking forward to more updates of my favorite CJ!

One question, what are these?:

EDIT: Oh yeah, another question:

Besides that weird "land aquiring" thing (which I don't get)*, how come Naha is located north of where it is in real life?

*And how come you couldn't just own the Ryukyu Islands in the AU, why did you have to own all of Japan?

[jacqulina 162]

yes i do like them very much great close ups of the flora in the water,wonderfull work and pics my friend

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Lovely picture again, look forward to more updates mate.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Which seawalls did you use? I like the palm tree in the walkway above the seawalls.

[Shingure 56]

Very nice. Also the flag is very colorful . The kelp that is in the water I have seen somewhere before. I just cant remember where.

REPLIES:

Twenty20: Thank you for your wonderful comments, look at for more!

Schulmanator: Thanks for stopping by.

Panthersimcity4: I guess nature and urbanity balances? Thanks, I look forward to more from ur SE Asia CJ!

Garby85: Lol thanks!

Nihon: Those are tubers, I thought it would be a nice touch having stranded people in the bay. Ahaha. Well AU there are no RL countries so I can take the space of Japan since this CJ is loosely based on it. Oh and I didn't know Naha's location until after I built it up.

Jacky: Thanks, my friend for your wonderful comment.

Mike the Mayor: Thanks!

Glasnord: Wow i feel honored having your first comment here. Welcome to ST by the way!

NMUSpidey: Umm not sure they are brown and brick like.

Shingure: Its underwater flora from Gizmo's site.

Today we head over to the Hiba District of Yokiba. The district sits on a peninsula sticking out into Yokiba Bay. To the west are single family home neighborhoods and bordering the bay are large apartment blocks. Yokiba Metro cuts right through the area connecting to Central for morning and evening commuters.

This is the eastern corridor of Hiba in the Kobe neighborhood. Kobe park spans through the area with the small Hiba creek running inside the park. At the end of Kobe Park is the Kobe Tower and trails for sceninc viewing of the underwater wild life found througout Yokiba Bay.
