The Republic of Bevelle- Bolder than Ever! (Adrian Union)

[waway625 72]

you have really mastered the art of laying down well beautifully laid roads (lol was that redundant?)

gentle curves (hell even the underpass curves?!) and the sidewalks seamlessly merging with ped mall tiles...ahh CJ orgasmic lol

[ky72x 13]

I thought that this was a teaser!

Teaser pic or not, it looks pretty good. Interesting use of the trees on the grass plot right behind the building.

jacqulina: Yes, the little details take a lot of time, but they are definitely well-worth the effort. Thanks, Jacky!

gabry85: Thanks; I like seeing a lot of green in big cities. This update will showcase some new parks I just added.

dfnva: Thanks for your great comment! As for your question, I answered it back with one of my teaser pics on the previous page.

bbfan02: I didn't want all styles of housing to grow in the same spot, so I had to have distinct neighborhoods, which is a helluva lot more difficult to grow! I thank you for commenting!

ky72x (1st post): Yeah, I don't know what I would do without the Lot Editor. I used to do just little things like you mentioned, such as parking lots or some small parks. But then I started re-texturing a lot of the lots I had since I downloaded the sandstone sidewalk mod. And, yes, those garages are made in the lot editor. I try hard to make the mosaics seem seamless . It would be nice if there were a lot more of those apartments available, but we gotta make do with what we got, which is plenty, considering the exchanges are free ! And if you liked the trio of mosaics, I have produced an extra-long mosaic that you'll love! Thanks again for the awesome comment, Kyle!

2nerdy4u (1st post): Yeah, I'd like to change the lots for them, but all my other lot editing is very time-consuming, so I never get around to it ! I've prepared a huge mosaic for this update, so you'll see exactly how grand this city truly is!

Shingure: The NAM curve texturing can get tricky; if you need more help with it, just PM me and I'll be glad to help. Glad to hear that you're using all of those great lots and mods from SC4D. Thanks for commenting!

haljackey: Thanks, man! The NAM curve pieces are kinda my specialty !

ky72x (2nd post): Well, the pics I post are void of any blank spaces because I position the screen so that none are showing. In reality, Aurora is FAR from finished, with more than 50 percent of the land area is still blank. Yeah, the green had to go, but a new skyscraper has arisen from the ashes and will be showcased today!

2nerdy4u (2nd post): Wonder no more; just scroll down and see!

bobinator: Another fan of the roads; thanks, man!

waway625: Nah, it's okay; I understood what you were saying ! And yes, this CJ is heavenly

ky72x (3rd post): Meh, kinda. Thanks again for commenting, Kyle!

Update 38- Change

Here's the latest update; capped off with another fanschmabulous mosaic!

Aurora has some of the most diverse architecture in the land, as shown here.

Not far from those same skyscrapers is RiverPoint Park, located where the Blackjack and the Jernigan Rivers merge.

[mightygoose 92]

thats pretty. very pretty so much attention to detail

[2nerdy4u 1]

Fantastic update. The park is simple and beautiful. Aurora seems very calm and peaceful behind its elegant skyscrapers. That mosaic is unbelievably huge and detailed. The transitions are smooth and flow rather nicely. I like how the city grows as you scroll down. I love the use of parks and greenery throughout the city. Great work.

[Patricius Maximus 236]

Beautiful work and good use of NAM road pieces.

[Benedict 3,119]

For some reason this journal seems to grow faster than I can keep up with Must be something to do with the great images and city building, I guess! That last update was great - all those different styles of park really make your city unique. Your road layout is also diverse and interesting - really spectacular.

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Wow - looks very nice and realistic with all that traffic on the roads!

[Schulmanator 5,799]

Great mosaic! The town looks awesome!

[Haljackey 17,380]

Wow, this proves that you are good with curves! Great work, amazing update!

Best,

-Haljackey

[jutrock 4]

very diverse elements there. great job!

[dfnva 34]

Once again, great pictures and great use of parks and filler tiles. Keep up the good work!

Dan

[TheSixCents 0]

Great Job Man! I was looking at the beggining of this and youve improved a whole bunch!

[gabry85 2]

Looks excellent! The mosaic shows lots of diverse styles, love the waterfront park especially!

You may want to download crowded lots on the STEX for your parks. Just a little suggestion.

[bbfan02 23]

Excellent work! I love the colorful sea walls and buildings! Excellent huge mosiac at the end too!

-bbfan02-

[Hester 700]

some stunning effects. Great look to the whole CJ.

[The Big Z 103]

It fantastic! I really love the mosaic. Its great how your city doesn't look crowded, but it still a huge city. I don't know how I've been missing this? lol

[ky72x 13]

Looking beautiful! Of course, when is Aurora not, though?

I really like RiverPoint Park. Everything from its clever name (nice names for the two rivers as well) to the return of those nifty patches of grass where the trees can grow are great. Nice job editing that NDEX fountain lot with the grass textures. The back end of the department store looks realistic, thanks to the placement of those lots originally meant for industrial fillers. I tend to use those particular lots quite frequently in other areas as well. They are pretty versatile! I can't wait to see what building will rise from the rubble of the old store. As for the newly built Touaron Tower, I would've said thousands, not hundreds of new jobs. I mean, it's one huge skyscraper!  Great pictures of it.

No update like this would be complete without a bang to finish it off, would it? It's no surprise that you'd be the one to create an awesome and epic mosaic like that one to end another excellent series of sharp pictures. Keep up the fantastic lot editing, great city building and stunning mosaics, Dan!

Very cool mosaic. And I love that there's an Apple store in there too!

[Shingure 56]

I love this Cj to much. Im now beginning to use your Ideas and twist them around abit. I think Aurora is just alot of time and effort put not into words but something we can see. Good work!

[suplado! 23]

wow -- really cool city, lots of cool parks and ponds...really like the huge mosaic showing lots of different area...awesome work!!

[pilotdaryl 25]

You are a Filipino, right? Always perfect!   Nice one pare!

[Cloud Strife 0]

What a great CJ, your city is really awesome!

I take some time touring around it, your building skills look impressive to me

It's not just the lots you use (many of them I've got and so I recognize), but the way you place them, it seems that you really know which is the right place to build and the right lot to use, being so eyecandy and keeping it fully functional as well.

I also like the way you draw the roads.

With such a structure, even the Maxis Gift Buildings look better. 

Great use of canals as well.

Wonderful parks and marvelous plazas.

Keep up the good work!

[koekie01 3]

I see your CJ fot the first time, but damn, very amazing job! Also is the last update so much better than the first one!

Your CJ is in my list!

[Dsrwhat316 12]

mightygoose: Yeah, it is great, isn't it? LOL, thanks!

2nerdy4u: Ah I'm glad you picked up on that! I specifically shot that area to give it that effect.

Patricius Maximus: Thanks!

Benedict: Yeah, I water it everyday. I know, I am great, aren't I? LOL, thanks for the nice comment!

Mike the Mayor: Thanks! I'm guessing you didn't notice the half cut-off car in my mosaic, eh ?

Schulmanator: Thanks for noticing the awesomeness!

haljackey: Thanks; I'm glad you appreciate them!

jutrock: Well, I have my 2 gig plug-in folder to thank for that. Thanks for commenting!

dfnva: Thanks, Dan. It's getting tougher and tougher to arrange those fillers in different ways now, though.

TheSixCents: I haven't read the beginning of my CJ since I started it, but when I read your comment, I went back through all 25 pages and noticed that things have improved. Thanks for noticing!

gabry85: Thankslace>lace>. I have noticed that the parks aren't as crowded as they should be; I'll remedy that situation ASAP. Thanks for the suggestion!

bbfan02: First time using those walls. I had never noticed them before, but now I'm glad I re-discovered them. Thanks!

Hester: Thanks for commenting; come back again soon!

The Big Z: That's the main reason why I don't like skyscraper jungles; they just feel too claustrophobic. That's why I mix in European-like parks and plazas coupled with Americanized skylines. Don't miss out anymore!

ky72x:

[nihonkaranws 88]

Yay! A new update! Wow, it looks like your city is expecting even more booming development! I can't wait to see this next update! Beautiful mosaic also! One question though, how do you get the red brick to blend with the NAM gentle curves?

[pilotdaryl 25]

Once I got 19!

Looking good!  Nice use of construction lots!

[gabry85 2]

Looks interesting! I think there will be a great view of the freeway from those condos! Can't wait for more!

[CarmineHilton 6]

Some serious construction, WOOT!! xD

Congratulations with your milestone of 21 replies! That's a lot to answer, h

[jacqulina 162]
