Great start. I like it. It looks very realistic.

This isn't the original Maxis landscape is it? Could you please tell me what mod you use? (maybe a link?)

[s_olah 87]

The terrain is the the Columbus Textures for Jeronijs Mod: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=13804

and the water is Peg water Mod Brigantine: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=11836

And since you liked it, I decided to update it tomorrow...stand by

[feliwi 4]

I like this railway line with the Pendolino (or wjatever it's called?). Keep it up!

[Smarty218 2]

Great start! I love the curving country roads!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Wow, that looks fantastic! I, too, love the curving roads, great start

Thats great! The curving road really adds realism.

PS: How did you get those trees?

[s_olah 87]

I think these are the ones: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=12360

or maybe these: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=12362

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Nice start. The bendy road looks cool going through the trees.

[gabry85 2]

Looks great, love the landscape! The train picture looks very realistic!

[s_olah 87]

The daily update is here, Brighton is finally getting it's deserved Train Station, demolishing the old one, the town now has a station with a capacity of 10.000 daily riders:

Population hits 5000, mayor searches architect to build  the first church in Brighton, and 8 month later they finally get it:

As the community celebrates, a negligent tourist leaves an open fire up in the woods of Tantra Hills:

The firefighters rush to save the National Forest of Tantra

But with no luck, 24% of the forest is gone, Tantra Hills, the Landscape, and the drivers sight on A1 will never be the same:

Stay tuned, as tomorrow Lakeshore Bridge is built, and population hits 10.000 residents

[cmdp123789 710]

[serebii666 3]

[The_Hutt 11]

Very nice and realistic. I like the rocks and the burned-out trees you have, and the church looks pretty good as well (do you have a link to that? Thanks.)

[waway625 72]

excellent start i loved the first two pics with the rail and the curvy roads..never had the chance to use them on my city, you sir inspired me to thanks

[texico11 3]

lol. the extent of city-building on sim city 4 these days is incredible...

[s_olah 87]

2007 may 6: Population hits 10.000, neighbouring city of Lakeshore requested a bridge to be built, so that trades can be made between the two cities. Lakeshore having a highly developed industrial district, and a low developed commercial sector, asked Mayor Bradshaw to make a road connection as soon as possible.

As seen, the bridge has been built, just east of Brighton...

A close up:

Mayor builds City Council and, make new decisions about building a brand new downtown:

The proposed, and approved commercial district, also known as Brighton Downtown is now going to be built in the area below:

Stay tuned as tomorrow Downtown is revealed, with a brand new City Hall...
