Excellent updates Seemurray. I really like all the parking in midtown, it adds realism. Do you lot those buildings yourself? Also, nice work on the region shot and congrats on getting an NFL team. Also, Lol, at the drunk robbing the Phillips 66. 9.gif

Finally, real football... not just those CBCCFTLIOSWDTMANCAHTCHTMUC football games anymore. It's easier to cheer for the Carnivores anyway.

Cool update, I like the top down view too.

Have fun tonight!

Man, I've missed a lot. Have you seen teemu's football stadium? He made Reliant Park (field, stadium, park, whatever) and is in the same thread as Toyota Center and Safeco. It's a bit bigger, and I think would be a better fit...unless you're trying not to have all three of his stadiums in one city...which is understandable.

Looking forward to more as always

The actual team editing (players and helmets) looks alright, but the stadium looks excellent! A very unique NFL stadium, but nonetheless, I think that would be an awesome venue for football games. Good region shot, too.

Wow, first time I see this CJ!!! Great quality of work here!!! Buildings are nicely selectioned and well plopped (if you plop them) As I saw on your region view, you attempt to build large suburbs on the east side? If yes, don't forget to make a large parkway that'll connect I-40, I-19 and US-160... 2.gif

See ya and good work!

This is great! Did you modify the football stadium, because if I recall that is actually a soccer stadium from the STEX, but I always use it as a football stadium, but not modified to look great like yours. AWESOME journal.

It looks wonderful! You've made a lot of progress since I last came here! Your warm, desert style CJ heats me up from the cold going on up in New York State lol. Brutal, I'm telling you, brutal!

    No, you aren't dreaming - it's another update!  lol (not really lol'ing, I just put that)

    luker91 - Thanks, glad you liked my uniforms and stadium!  The airport will be coming up soon, as soon as I do a little more research on airport layouts and then actually build the thing!  lol

    waway625 - Thanks, glad you think it's awesome!

    bbfan02 - Yes, that's Carson Palmer - I edited a Cincinatti Bengals uniform!  lol   Copper Basin picked him up in a trade for two first round draft picks.  Glad you like all the stuff though!

    gabry85 - Thanks!  lol   No I can't repeat the acronym!  You fail for not listening, and now you must go attend that school to make up the credits!  haha  

    panthersimcity4 -  lol, thanks!  That stadium is on the STEX.  It's not a football stadium though, it is soccer.  I just edited it to look like football for that one pic!  lol  

    Giligone - Thank you, some of those buildings I have edited in the lot editor - and some I just added parking lots next to the buildings to make it look like they are connected.  Glad you like the region shot so far.  And I never said the guy that robbed the Phillips 66 store was drunk, he was just stupid!  haha   I guess you just had drinking on your mind!  lol  

    PhilsCafe - LOL, no kidding.  They had to pull the plug on the extra curricular activities after the first year anyway, because it along with the learning impairment and the over drinking wasn't helping matters.  Glad you like the region shot, and I did!  lol  See ya later!

    BlondeTwiggy - Hi Twigster!  Thanks, glad you like the region.  Yes, they are ferocious!  lol  

    See you later then!

    Pablo_SIMMANIAK - Thanks, I will try and get you more pics!  haha   I just noticed that you only have made one post ever, glad I could pop your cherry!  LOL

    football_fever - Hey!  Yeah, I have downloaded Reliant Stadium - but it was a little too big for my city, so I had to go with one less overpowering!  It's a great looking BAT though.  Thanks for commenting again!

    dfnva - Thanks, glad you thought so!  lol  

    ky72x - Thanks, glad you like the stadium and my region shot!  See ya!

    Mr. Beer - Hey, thank you!  As for the buildings, most are grown except for bixels stuff (because I couldn't wait) and some of the downtown skyscrapers.  Yes, I plan on building large suburbs on all sides, but that is a good idea with the parkway!  I will wait and incorporate that when the suburbs reach out that far!  Thanks again David!

    packersfan - Thanks!  Actually I just edited the stadium for football in MS Paint for that one picture, I am too busy/lazy to edit it any other way!  lol  Glad you like my cj!

    jrhnemo - Thanks, glad you could stop back in!  I absolutely HATE cold weather, I can't even stand the "mildly" cold stuff we get here for 2 or three months out of the year!  lol  See ya!

    jacqulina - Thank you my dear friend Jacky!  Glad you are enjoying my updates, hope they're not to raunchy for you!  lol  Take care as well!

    Criquette - Thanks, I really appreciate that!  And I have really enjoyed using your great stuff, Marrast!  I just realized that was you!  lol

    ilikehotdogsalot - Thank you!  Glad you are liking it!

    Nice retail areas, they are really one of your many strong points. The balance of day/night shots is good, and of course, your lot editing continues to be fantastic. I really liked that freeway in the last pic! It's cool how you used the avenue underpass that was originally designed for a railroad one.

    Hello, seemurray2!

    Being from a North American desert city myself (Las Vegas), I was immediately drawn to your CJ.  I've been a lurker so far, but I thought I'd change that...at least one time...

    I really like the look of your city so far!  Especially your downtown...I love how it blends nicely from high-density towers to the smaller towers on the outer edge.   Also, your suburbs are awesome!  Just like a desert city to try and throw in some trees to make it look greener 34.gif...have they never heard of xeriscaping?

    You seem to have a knack for portraying the time-of-day through photo editing.  I love how your night shots come out!  And your late afternoon pictures look better than the in-game time.

    Anyways...maybe I won't take so long in commenting again.  I'll try, but...well, don't hold me to it 3.gif!

    The mall looks great nestled in the jungle of suburban retail, very realistic.

    Wow, amazing retail area. So lifelike. I can see how you burned up 2 hours on that. Top notch work I must say.

    My family and I go to Vegas every summer. We have a condo in Henderson. And from personal experience this looks really great in comparison. The sudden contrast of the buildings and green gardens to the harshness of the sandy desert!

    Great work Seemurray2!

    Great update. That mall looks amazing with that particular setting and all. I like the amount of details. One gets the feeling of actually being there... and good to see that the city has many places to go at night... especially when I want to move into my top floor apartment for spring break, lol.

    Very nice yet again. Reminds me totally of Arizona. I hope traffic isn't as bad in Copper Basin as it is in Phoenix. Also, personally I think I would rather live in Copper Basin than say Tucson. I lived in Tucson for 6 years and your CJ make me miss Arizona even more.
