2/New residential neighboorhoods and the Williams High School.

3/The shopping center, a great place to spend your saturdays to

4/New housing developpement

5/New condos

Really nice looking city/region, but the images are too large for the website - edit them to 800x600 or a moderator will delete them.

[jacqulina 162]

wow wonderfull start there my friend very nice fishing port excellent use of pegs things,beautifull pics

[despotism2 0]

Sorry for the pic size but my screen has a huge resolution: 1280x1024. When putting them to 800x600, the appear all blurry and it make them look ugly.

[JanYpe 17]

Well, you can crop your pictures to show an area of 800x600, or resize them to 800x600 and link to the full versions. Not everyone has a huge monitor, so that's why there's rules. And I'm afraid you need to stick to a 300x50 signature image as well.

Nice town. I like that the harbour isn't too cramped.

:edit:  Alright guys, he doesn't need everyone and their brother to tell him the pics are too big.

Looks wonderful, and very realistic! But your pics are way to big, including you sig pic. When taking pics in Sim City 4, I find the best method is to click the space bar 5 times when you have the picture taking mode up, that automatically makes it 800x600, so you don't even have to resize!

[KingTitan 6]

1280 X 1024 ???? OUCH friend....need to scale down there. 800x600 max.

But nontheless despotism2, Looks great....some great things happening in your CJ....GREAT STUFF!!!

Well thanks for your comments everyone. I will change the resolution of the pics and signature. I'll have it done by friday (i'm quite busy right now).

The next updates will come with 800x600.

[Cleaner475 150]

yeah pics are too big and your sig is well over the limit, i expect you'll have a PM about that soon if you don't already.

they do look beautiful though, this is gonna be some journal, great forests and you obviously like PEG stuff keep it up,

WOW Very nice forest !!

[2nerdy4u 1]

Nice work, but as many have said, keep images within the limit. I would even recommend resizing all of the pics in this first update. And there's also the sig image, which needs to stay in the limit of 300x50.

Other than that, great work.

[CocaTertoka 7]

Wow. Great job so far It feels very New Hampshire. The harbour looks really nice as well as do the suburbs and that shopping complex. Keep up the good work!

[patriots_1228 51]

speaking as a newenglander, I can tell you that that is very accurate, and i love you waterfront, looks very much like the ones you'll find in maine and new hampshire. good work!

[suplado! 23]

really cool...the area is very realistic!!

[Za 164]

Bloody excellent! Speaking as a semi-New Englander, I can verify patriot's comment and say it is very realistic. The forests and commercial areas are particularly nice.

[penguin007 27]

Great start cant wait for more

Second update: the forest north of Winter Harbour.

1/ The trail park entrance. The park is still under construction.

2/ The Whitestone Lake, used as reservoir for the water supply of the region

3/ An old house in the nearby mountains. Some believe it's haunted.

[2nerdy4u 1]

Nice little update. The gazebo in the middle of the pond is very nice.

[suplado! 23]

cool forest update...the entrance to the park and the parking lot looks nice! the pond is cool...

[AutumnWindz 0]

Nice, I think it reflects very well the suburban/town feeling of east coast America.

Oh, and I lived in Prince William County... it's a real county in Virginia.

[Mr. Beer 12]

Nice close-ups! Can we see a view of your region??

Hope to see more ;-)

Cheers,

[patriots_1228 51]

the haunted house is a great picture. nice work on that. Everything else looks nice too, i like the hiking park.

[Teeparex 6]

Looks brilliant! Lot's of great little places to look at. I believe I'll stick around! That haunted house is a pretty cool idea, it's in the perfect location, too...

Since I live in Prince William County, VIRGINIA, the name intrigued me. The parks and forests look really nice. I also like the commerical strips with the shopping centers, they look realistic. Some of the residential areas looked a bit griddy to me, but maybe that's what you're going for. Also, I would recommend using streets in your residential areas (unless one road through there is a major one). Good luck.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

@dfnva: Actually I used roads for the residential areas around the old town, to make it look older. But i used streets for the newer neighborhoods. I was inspired by what i saw in Maryland while being on a visit. Older streets were black and new residential areas were gray.

@Mr.Beer: I'll show a region pic soon, but it's not finished.

Nice CJ!

Im actually working on a Pacific NW town..right on the harbor..I've been trying to get the harbor the right size and everything so the docks and stuff can lineup.

So I know how challenging this must've been.

[bbfan02 23]

Great update! You use custom content very well! Looking forward to more updates from you.
