Hey you made it into a city journal, looks pretty nice. You might want to throw in a storyline or two. P.S. Demgraphic means population related, not the level of land.

looking better, dude! some friendly advice from me is to add some angles to your canals; it'll make 'em look more realistic than just 90 degree corners. keep on rollin'!!

    Hey everyone,

    This is basically the biggest update so far. I added one more commercial store on Lincoln Ave. and I added a city curling club and I did a special momument in the center of town. If you have any suggestions or critism feel free to tell me.

    Thanks,

    -bbfan02-

    The new store on Lincoln Ave.

    The new city curling club.

    In the next few pictures, I decided to make a monument in the middle of town and have some surrounding flowers and canals. You will see.

    The building.

    the canals, im not crazy about, I would suggest making a "canal lake" or whatever the terminology for that is, in the center. But the Gardens are beautiful.

    I actually used shmail's farm crop fillers to make it look like flowers because I couldn't search the STEX cause it was down when I did this update.

    Nice work on those gardens. And good job sneaking that Maxis landmark in. I love it when people pull stuff like that off.

    Very cool. I love the idea of a canal city. If you are looking for more quality real-world reatail businesses, look for SimGoobers stuff. Thats what I use.

    Very neat. I like how you pulled the semi-garden stunt off. I like the uniqueness. The only thing about the city is that it's too... bland. Try "spicing" it up; add some diagonal streets, maybe a highway, or possibly some fields further away. Something to give it just a touch of more flare. Otherwise you're doing great.

    Here it is, update number five. I will show you the first college of Oswego. . Also, say hello to the first Agricultural Museum! I downloaded a custom college and I downloaded some new custom farms. Any comments are appreciated. Still trying to hunt down more farms! Enjoy!

    Below: The new college. I know its in the middle of nowhere and I will develop the area around this in future updates.

    Here it is, update 6. I added some new farms, including a chicken ranch and some cow pastures. I will be updating the farmland a lot. Also, I added a new residential neighborhood, and you should see some growable custom R$$ homes I downloaded. Also, I downloaded the "Realistic Backyards" file and you will now see all of the homes with pools in their backyards. I think it looks more realistic of the suburbs. Any comments are aprreciated. Enjoy! (Replies on bottom of this)
