I like the use of the rail network. Would like to see the whole railroad network. Really nice. However, I'm waiting to see a little more of Port Ryan. Overall, your network of roads are great with SAM. You have a good touch.

jacqulina & nottheboss: Thanks

jjune4991: Double thank you! I believe it's the asphalt one. I like the look of it by the beach, but the cobblestone would've worked as well... :/

anarchy0029: Thanks! The rail network is still pretty young and isn't getting alot of traffic (Port Ryan hasn't a single freight route, because it has yet to find a destination which I'm working on) but the next update will definitely see a rail map which I'll take the time to do and some more Port Ryan pictures since it has room to expand.

your welcome

i'm looking foreward to your next update

[RJN 1]

Really nice update! i really like the suburbs! Nice job!

[CKSmooth 0]

Even more pictures of Brooksway (East Suburbs) and outlying developement:

And, as anarchy wished, I provided:

A nice overview of Port Ryan:

And I did some work on a transit map for the region and took a snap of the transportation view...

^Now as you can see the JPG for this turned out quite horribly. Sorry if it's so bad that it can't be read, but Photobucket is being immature yet again... I can't upload a clearer BMP file

Awaiting questions

[Explodingsims 3]

Intresting. Good work on the Suburbs.

My only suggestion would be to use more custom content around the waterfront!

[etherian 4]

Beautifully new suburb and its developments, may I suggest you flatten the land with single road tiles before plonking down the diagonal streets? It will look much better, especially with the rail line next to it.

P.S. Where are those L-shaped red apartments from?

Explodingsims: Thanks for the advice, I'll try with some more parks on the beachside or something.

etherian: Oh god I have so many plugins, My best guess would be that they are BSC. Possibly Deadwoods? If I have any success, I'll tell you.

Out of the chest again with a new region, this time Victoria, BC (I was going to do a remake of it but I decided to just get creative, I'll do a remake some time when I'm more patient) here is the only region overlook so far:

The downtown area will be around the highway loop (where the real BD is)

[jacqulina 162]

great region view my friend

etherian: I finally stumbled across the apartments you asked for. They're called Hillsboro Apartments and they're by rexnfx in the STEX.

A city I'm currently working on In an old region (Paradise Beach, where a couple of my other cities are) which is doing quite well. The downtown population is currently around 60,000 and has a good half a medium tile of developement to do, 70% of which will be suburban. Here are some pictures of the downtown (I'll snap some outside later)

^ Overview ^

Hold tight and I'll get the suburbs coming along uber-quicklike!

I like the urbanist feel to your city. Nicely done road layout, normally grids don't look that nice. Although I would recommend getting in a demolishion squad to take down the adbandoned building next to the elevated rail. Nice pics CK,

Thanks for the view, and I'm one step ahead of you there I really like the approach I took to this one, which surprised me... Since the downtown is the result of just a slapped down grid in a diamond shape with high density zones thrown in. Not alot of planning, and it's visually and aesthetically paid off.

This one's got alot of pictures, so I'll just throw them all in and let you guys post your opinions, beginning with the city overview:

[nihonkaranws 88]

Ewww... that gross water... Get a water modd! And, don't use Maxis airports. Good start.

[SimHoTToDDy 2,938]

Not too bad I would have to say. I liked the large diagonal grid layout of the city a lot, I just wish it was easier to pull off in SC4 (few diagonal buildings). Its a lil bit maxisy at times, but I cant judge you just because I have 3.5 gigs of STUFF lol. The best thing you can do is keep working with it and try new ways to make things look great (I have spent 3 years on the same region!!!).

Keep up the good work and best of luck,

-Todd

nihonkaranws: Thanks for the critique, I'll look for a mod sometime today. And I've tried the ACE airport packs, and they're just so confusing... I'm not a pilot and I don't know what an apron is. But I'll try to!

SimHoTToDDy: It's all a matter of user content, and I try, I really do. I think I have 600 MB so far, and I'm expanding it every day I'm on. I hope to one day have 3.5 GB (compressed) as well. Thanks for the advice! I'm going to be working on a remaking of my hometown and surrounding region, a population of over 2 million and an area of, wow I don't know... around 100 km x 40 km or so... (Langley, BC, in the sig!) So that should tie me up for a couple of life times!
