2 wonderful updates. The place is really coming along nicely. Can't believe you managed to build something so beautiful on such a difficult terrain. Kudos to you, my friend.

    I have built up to the town centre and built around 40% of it. The whole centre will be based around the monument at the bottom of the following shot:

    Here is the area after development:

    The local school and beginnings of the offices:

    Here is the southern part of the centre of town, you can see the famous Rockhaven Church, famous as it was the first building constructed on the islands!

    Great update! The road modd that changes the color of the sidewalk looks good. The elementary school fits in very nicely with the area. Keep up the good work!

    bbfan02 - Thanks again man!

    Smarty218 - Thanks once again for stopping by, you're not missing many updates at the moment!

    2nerdy4u - Thanks nerdy, takes a bit of planning but definately worth it in the end 4.gif

    rodrigogua - thanks for the great compliment

    suplado! - Thanks, i will check it out for one of my cities' suburbs

    Update

    Just finished off the town centre today (had a lot of real-life work to do!) so it is a small update, but i do like to get one in at least daily!

    Here is the town centre completed with a few houses and shops to develop:

    rockhaven29.jpg

    Here is a shot showing that same town centre from a reverse angle after development:

    rockhaven30.jpg

    Here is the immediate surroundings of the monument in the centre. You can also see that some really high wealth housing is developing in the area, and i hope that some high wealth flats will develop here as they did in areas of Southern Rudston:

    rockhaven31.jpg

    This one shows the main government building to date (yes! Rockhaven is for now the capital city of Yusonia as it was the first area to be settled):

    rockhaven32.jpg

    Finally, here is a shot showing how the suburbs become the town centre in Rockhaven, it is a quick change in the South!

    rockhaven33.jpg

    Enjoy, and thanks for the continued support!

    Great job, your town (or nation) hall looks great! What's that building that the road passes under? That was a cool building. You seem to be getting lots of updates in, that's why I like to stop by so often!

    ImFromSweden - Thanks again man, but i wonder what this said before you edited it 4.gif

    Smarty218 - It's the national government centre atm, but will become an embassy for Giogiapolis

    connorc24 - I'll get you one np buddy 4.gif just tell me what town you want it in!

    Update

    It IS soon after the last update, but i want to show this and maybe get another one in tonight

    This one is all about how to build suburbs on a difficult mountain side:

    First thing to do is to level off the terrain in sections using roads, and draw up the roads connecting the levels together:

    rockhaven34.jpg

    Then you have to add the walls to the terrain:

    rockhaven35.jpg

    Then you have to delete all the pieces of road:

    rockhaven36.jpg

    Then you have to add the zones:

    rockhaven37.jpg

    Then add the trees and let it develop:

    rockhaven38.jpg

    Here is the usual local school:

    rockhaven40.jpg

    And the whole town so far:

    connorc24 - OK! although my largest city wont even be started for maybe a month 4.gif

    bbfan02 - Thanks a lot for the nice words

    penguin007 - wow, strong words, i hope i can get a nomination!

    dralin321 - thanks, i thought i should include one rather than doing the whole area without saying anything

    Mike the Mayor - Thanks a lot, the town centre is probably finished for now, maybe a bit more to the west.

    Update

    A final update, (3rd for the day!) just to show the ending of this area

    Here is what I have done before pressing begin:

    rockhaven41.jpg

    Here it is after development:

    rockhaven42.jpg

    Some really high-wealth people coming and living here now:

    rockhaven43.jpg

    Here is Rockhaven at the moment, just the side expansion to be done:

    3 updates! Excellent! Your town center is wonderful. Beautiful. The little tutorial for making suburbs on hills was very nice and helpful. And I loved the last pic in update 3. Looks like you've conquered the difficult terrain and made something very beautiful.

    I can't believe I haven't caught this cj until now. Your use of maxis buildings is masterful. I'm not sure if I could make it look that good. 3.gif The face that you dare to build on slopes, unlike many people, is also great. Good stuff!
