Great update! Love especially Alegria Hill! Again cool photoshopping effects!

Keep up the good work!

[panthersimcity4 162]

Wowee that is great!!! I love Alegria Hill

[Geronimo 4]

Wow, thats a massive update! Fantastic mosaics, I totally agree about Alegria Hill but the San Vicente overwiev is quite stunning as well! The comparision with the old time photos really adds a different though to this CJ. Keep it up, mate! 

[sebbyb07 2]

looks very nice, your suburban areas are outstanding and your downtown area looks amazing. nice use of custom content.

[football_fever 6]

Wow, this is the closest to perfection I've seen a CJ get. Photoshopping adds so much without being overbearing, the city-building is superb, history is excellently done. I love when people make resorts and universities as clusters of buildings, rather than the Maxis ones. You do a great job, and I can't wait to see more

[dfnva 34]

Wow, this looks great. I love the region view, the downtowns and the suburbs look realistic and I like the custom content you've used which gives a nice personality to your region.

Exellent job here waway625. You've built a great region and use a nice balance of photoshopping. Your downtwon area looks great and I like the mid-rise level of the skyline, it allows you to have a great view of the entire area. You also use alot of great looking buildings I've never even seen before. Your mosiacs and suburbs look stunning aswell. The only thing I didn't like too much were the reapeated use of the ferry terminal and a few jagged edges. Besides those small things, I really liked this update. Hope to see more.

Expansion already!?! Boy this cj is going along quickly, another colourful and beautiful update that's for sure!

[connorc24 2]

Woah! That is amazing! Awesome work! I can't wait to see your application!

[TRNSTN 0]

I really like this CJ! It's so detailed, and such an amazing mixture of custom content, all put together very well Keep up the good work!

[jrone3 2]

Very nice range of picture effects. Some are bright are colorful; others focus on just a certain part of the pictures. Fantastic mosaics!!

tcxalapa - thanks..and thanks for the BATs too i have lots of TX Residencial Diamante in my downtown and Tienda Liverpool is among my favorite department stores (its a department store right?)

Shingure - Well Photoshopping is a hit and miss still hopefully i get to master the combinations and effects soon to give you guys better pictures

farmer-alex - thanks for your words of encouragement

Smarty218 - thanks, i find mosaics fun to make so expect more

lucky7 - Well the Philippines was once a colony (?) of spain so yeah theres a connection in a way to spanish cities (ie plaza near cathedrals and of course the city/district names)

bbfan02 - We have to thank the BATers for the custom content amazing how this game (SC4) was taken to such heights by the baters huh?

gabry85 -  I love alegria hill too it would probably be nice living in the condos overlooking the downtown

panthersimcity4 - thanks for supporting my CJ

Geronimo - thanks my friend, that overview photo was a pain to make as i had to stitch the Poblacion pic too lol.for the old pic, it helped that i had a backup folder of the region and had the old San Vicente file there lol

sebbyb07 - thanks, do come back for the other suburbs and districts

football_fever - Your comment is very humbling yeah i try to make the presentation as good as i can.glad you liked them

dfnva - thank you so much

crazyyaya - know what, im really thankful for your tips and constructive criticisms as it drives me to improve my city building even more i sincerely hope you dont get tired of guiding me through .But The 4 ferry piers though has some story to it (in my later update)

dralin321 -well the much of the city is already finished, im on the detailing phase for most of the urban core so yeah the updates are quite fast also im trying to finish the boring city introduction part to get to the fun stuff

connorc24 - thanks west seattle, one more update and ill file my application

TRNSTN - thanks, im doing my best to make your reading worthwhile

jrone3 - thanks, photoshop is such an amazing program eh?

BAD NEWS

A minor setback guys. I tried opening "La rhea" this afternoon to finish some detailing and take more screenshot abut it would just crash luckily i have a region backup from two weeks ago (so theres a considerable amount of details lost there)  so i spent much of the afternoon recreating what was lost. The good news is it allowed me to improve on what was lost

here are the pics of the city prior to the file corruptio

[jacqulina 162]

thats not good but this sure is my friend wonderfull recreation looking awesome,glad you carried on

[suplado! 23]

wow -- really cool!! the overview is awesome...its just too realistic....hehe!!

[Geronimo 4]

Wow, so good you made a backup!! This is just amazing, the overwiew is sooo realistic, I dont know how you do it but its sure a pleasure for my eyes...

Fantastic CJ, keep it up mate!

[dralin321 0]

Sorry to hear that, but this cj must go on! Another brilliant update, and a great overview of the area!

[Smarty218 2]

Great job, sorry to hear about your problem, I get pretty pissed when that happens to me, but you seem to take it optimistically! Looking forward to more!

[KingTitan 6]

Awe, that sux. Glad you are able to work something out.... I have crashed many times and lost lot's of stuff. Finally a new computer with TONS of RAM and G's.. Hope to see more in the future friend. Great Stuff!!

[gabry85 2]

Aww, I'm sorry for that, but I'm glad you haven't lost everything. Hope you'll recover your work asap. Good luck buddy!

[ccecill 52]

Wow... incredible photo editing there!

[crazyyaya 4]

To bad about the crash, I know your pain, I too have lost a city lol. Hopefully you can rebuild even better then before, that way the crash dosen't seem like such a bad thing. Anyway... to the pictures, nice job with the photo editting. Your city looks like it has a great start but still lots of room to grow and expand. One thing I would reccoment is

this downloadquote>

to create different varieties in your streets. Good luck and if you choose to download that, make sure to read the readme.

GREAT CITY !!! Mabuhay ang Pilipino. I would to like ask if OK, what tree and terrain mods you've used. It's eye candy and pleasing. Thank you in advance.

[waway625 72]

hi, i just wanted to post a quick preview of 2 malls ive lotted (thanks to TXcalapa for his wonderful BAT )

the SM Supermalls in Puerto JOya

1. SM City Puerto Joya (loosely based on SM CIty Davao)

2. SM Mall by the Bay - FIctional but inspired from SM Mall of Asia's bayside setting

oh ..and something thats common in most major cities (at least in non first world countries_

Squatters!

* sorry for the "quicky-type" reply, i was just too excited to share the pics after my first attempt to toy around with the lot editor

[connorc24 2]

Oh Damn! That's really amazing! Great work buddy! Hope to see you at the AU soon. I'm looking forward to more!

[bbfan02 23]

Wow, those are two great malls! I love the sea walls at the end.

crazyyaya - yeah after a crash, i take it as an opportunity to build something better than what was lost..thanks for the link on the mod, not too sure if id try it anyway as i fear more crashes lol
