Nice update. I like the Olde English Town and the alleyways. Great Work.

Excellent use of Prepo's diagonal buildings! I like the park too. The alley behind the houses is realistic. Keep up the great work!

    bbfan02 ~ Thanks.  Its the Baltimore Water Modd.  I can't remember who did it at the moment, though...

    Callbat ~ Thanks.  This was my second attempt at one.  The first I ever really put in a CJ, though.

    cleaner475 ~ Thanks.  Its found on STEX.  It's called JENX Burg  Eltz V12 by Xannepan.

    KingTitan ~ Thanks.  The castle lot is 6x2(I think...), so I lowered the surrounding terrain, then made a 6x2 plot of dry land.  Then, plopped the castle.  It's rather easy, really.

    mkaustin ~ Thanks!  I didn't really notice until I posted the picture that the paths were the same texture as the high wealth sidewalks.  Kind of ironic, I guess.  hehe

    penguin007 ~ I'm glad you like it.  It's a great castle.

    OffTopic ~ Thanks.  Yeah, the alleyways are awesome.  I've used them often in this CJ.

    Kyle ~ Thanks!  I love the diagonal buildings.  They add such a great dimension to a city.

    2nerdy4u ~ Good to hear that you like the story.  Thanks!

    suplado!  ~ Thanks.  I really enjoyed the castle and small historical area.

    Sorry it's been a crazy couple of days.  I have some stuff ready, just not enough time to post an update, so here's a little teaser on the next update.  This is the Price Commercial District.

    That is one excellent downtown. The building choices were great! Can't wait to see more of this.

    Great looking downtown! I like the trees and flora that surrounds the buildings.

    2nerdy4u ~ Thanks.  I'm hoping that this will become a secondary downtown type of thing...lol  If that makes any sense.

    suplado! ~ Thanks.  I randomly placed some of the shorter mid-rise buildings that I had.  Ended up look nice.  Who would've thought? lol  Congrats on the Trixie again!

    Jacky ~  Thanks!  I'm glad you like them.  I've been working on some waterfalls with the little tutorial you gave me.  I must say they don't even compare to yours.

    OffTopic ~ Thanks!  Like I told 2nerdy4u, I'm hoping it becomes a sort of second downtown.

    Kyle ~ Thanks!  They seemed to mesh together better than I thought they would.

    bbfan02 ~ Thank you!  Its still a work in progress, so I decided to plop all the trees there, as a filler for now.  But, I kind of like how they look, too.  I'll probably end up leaving most of the trees.

    Yep!  Another teaser!  I was up last night until 2 am downloading random BAT's from the Japanese sites!  Awesome stuff there!  Luckily written Chinese and the Congi(sp?) mean the same thing.  So, it was useful!  Anywho, here's a region pic for now.  The next update will contain pics from Garland Ridge Suburbs, and the new remodeling/expansion of Poseidon Port!

    I also forgot to mention that I changed water mod, too.  I used the new one based on the plop water.  And, I went through and terraformed the rivers.  So, they're real water now.  However, there are parts with water falls and such using the plop water.  Those pics will have to wait until a later update, though.

    Great stuff. Price Commercial District really stands out, both in detailed view and in region view. Look forward to more.

    suplado! ~ Thanks!  I'm working on expanding and updating the port.  You might find this update interesting. hehe

    OffTopic ~ Thanks.  I'm hoping to come up with some really great ideas for the river front.

    mkaustin ~ Thanks!  I'm glad you like the way the region is turning out!  The waterfalls are definitely going to be done by an amateur, since it will be my first time.

    Callbat ~ Thank you much!  I'm hoping that I can get something really great down in the new CBD.

    cleaner475 ~ Glad to see you around again!  Thanks much!

    Skram ~ Thanks!  I like the port.  The night before last I was up really late downloading some great stuff for my port expansion that I'm planning.  There will be more info in the update.

    Mike The Mayor ~ Yeah.  Hopefully it will stay that way.  I don't really want it to be overrun with too many high-rise buildings.

    bbfan02 ~ Thanks!  I'm glad you like the layout.

    2nerdy4u ~ Thanks!  I'm really trying to stay away from grid.  While the area in which I live uses the grid system, I like having a lot of diagonals and random turns in my roads and streets.  hehe

    Update2.jpg

    Well, here's an update on Garland Ridge(the burbs just to the side of Garland proper) and Garland Point(the Industrial Center).

    Amazing update! The houses are nice and so is that bridge over the highway. The picture with the castle is brilliant. The oil boom is definitely something to follow.
