Amazing job my friend. I didnt know you had started a new CJ! I love all the road/ avenue curves, great use of them. Your region shots are stunningly realistic as always. I especially like the last pic, with the two flags in the little park. 4.gif

Edit:  Welcome to the fourth page! :]

Ah, okay. That's a really good idea!

Nice looking griddy downtown suburbs. Love that university too. Great building choices! I don't know how you do it.

This is realism to a new level. This town reminds me of a real town in Alberta. Camrose. Only thing is most small towns in Alberta have the big stores, big name shopping places along the main road threw now a days.... Downtowns are dead and tired looking in some of them. Others keep them up as a social area.

I hope I'm not gonna disappoint you then 4.gif. Great update once again, Cristian! Great use of the curved streets, it's a very nice touch in this setting. The open layout still amazes me, the UofL campus for example looks very credible!

The City looks very good. Again that mid-rised downtown and those curved avenues look nice. The University looks very realistic and that's why I like it.

    First I am going to show you how downtown looks after a bit of redeveloping (take a look into new street-lay-out system ; )

    copiadedowntownlankotaro4.jpg

    GreekMan: Hey Man! Thank you very much! Really appreciated. Glad you like those curvy roads and the downtown area : ) Oh well, that convention Centre is really small, nothing impressive, it should be called "Meeting Centre" it is really small. You will see the results on next update. Thanks man!

    Dsrwhat316: HellO! Thanks a lot. Really kind comment dude! So pleased you like those curvy roads and paths. See you next time!

    super_monkey: Hey bro! : P Of course! I like the idea, would be nice to have another town in Alberta communicated with Lankota. Thanks a lot, really appreciated!

    pilotdaryl: Hey dude! Oh that is really cool! SFU? I will have a look into Google Earth, maybe taking some new inspiration from that place! Thanks a lot, see you later.

    bobinator: Hey man, I took that advice. You will see in next update. Anyway, I have also though of turning some of those avenues into roads or one-ways cause it would make downtown more livable, and I can build some more stuff and finally getting a more realistic result. Thanks, see ya.

    rct3twins: Hey man! Oh yeah, Lankota will be much bigger than it is right now. I could say it is on its beginning. Anyways, Lloyd was my biggest city ever, Lankota will be much more errr...mid-sized, you know. But if you like Lankota right now, you will like the future Lankota : ) See ya!

    ky72x: Hello, Kyle! Oh man! Thank you very much! I am so glad you like how those curved avenues turned out and I am so pleased that you like my work on Lot Editor. If you liked North Downtown, I am sure you will like North Downtown part 2 in next update. I did lots of work in Lot Editor (42 Lots of pure low class and old fashioned commerce) and it doesn't look bad. And you will tell me if you like. ( I really have to tell you that there is going to be a big mount of cars in random positions ; ) See ya later, my friend.

    lucky7: Thank you very much! I am glad you like those curvy roads! I can't post a full update , but sure I will do soon. Hope to see ya here then!

    Twenty20: Thank you very much and welcome to Lankota! Glad you found realistic that Uni : )

    patriots_1228: Hey dude! Thank you very much! Oh lol, yeah my burbs! So happy you wanted to see more. Thanks, see ya in next update!

    Smarty218: Hello! And thanks a lot, glad you liked those avenues and burbs. Hope you like next update!

    Mr. Beer: Hey David! Wow! I think I am late enough to say: Have a great flight and stay in Spain! But oh well, have a great time here my friend! Btw I am going to Paris and Brussels tomorrow! Taking 2 Iberia flights (Asturias-Madrid , Madrid-Paris) School trip man! : P So glad you liked those shots from Lankota! See ya my old friend hehe.

    Spa: Hey Sam, long time we don't see. OH thank you very much! Well, that avenue turning around the church just came into my mind while dragging the roads! Glad you liked. And wow man! The Lexington is amazing! One of the biggest of Lankota, and really proud to give it some advertisement : P see ya my friend.

    suplado!: Thanks man! Really nice you liked the update! I hope you like the next one, and btw

    Excellent downtown! It looks very realistic to most small and mid-rise downtowns.

    Ridiculous levels of realism. You should actually make a tutorial on doing realistic Canadian suburbs, I can only do British-style ones which kindof makes my Canadian cities all wierd. Honestly, I'd kill to have suburban sprawl like that...

    As far as the development goes, I don't see much change, but the overall area looks nicer now with less avenues and more roads. Great job once again! Have fun on your trip, and I'll be there for the next update to see those cars. 3.gif

Well, I don't have enough time to give you the links, not today, but I hope you can find those BATs/Modds with theeir names: Terrain is "Missouri Breacks by Cycledogg". ploppable Water search for "Sorchin" and there is a nature pack with 4 different styled ploppable water. Buildings: "One Canada Centre", "Slater Hall", "Dresden offices" by SG, "Stephanie Lane", search for libraries to get the library and finally, the building by the baseball fields is one of the Maxis default buildings, but Lotted. I hope this helps man. See ya.

    Hi Guys, today I will be doing something different. Today I will be showing of MY FRIENDS CJ, Henday. Another Albertan CJ.

    NOTE**THIS IS NOT MY CJ.

    So it is not on Simtropolis, because of various reasons, but I hope you will like it.

    I personally like it, and it has loads of custom content.

    I personally gave it a 10/10.

    Now what I am asking you good people of simtropolis (my friend too), Is that you look through all NINE pages of the CJ, then make a comment. Yes it's nine pages, and over 30 updates, but think of it as 10 normal updates, considering his updates are generally small. Please read all pages, it'll take you 5-9 minutes.

    When done looking through everything make a comment, Normal comments/constructive criticism is welcomed. He hopes you like it.

    Feel free to look at non-Henday stuff on the website also.

    If you like Lankota, you'll like Henday.

    I will be back next update. NOTE: Please look through all pages.

    Wow how I have missed a lot! This is just some fantastic work, asturianu! My favorite pic has to be UOFL!

    Looks like you put the NAM curves to good use too. Its very creative and realistic at the same time.

    Best,

    I do have LE but I don't use it a lot.

    The downtown redevelopment looks great, but I think my favourite is still the Pulide Drive houses from a while back. It looks exactly like Elbow Park (neighbourhood near downtown with old bungalows and two storeys that are worth ridiculous amounts of money) does.
