Avalon-A bustling farm town.

[spectrumtech 15]

Hello everybody! This will be my 3rd CJ, the first ones didn't turn out too well. Updates for this one will come every Sunday for as long as I have time. Hope you enjoy! Welcome to Avalon. The city's revival after the 2000 depression. Avalon is becoming an important town. Meynouth County has decided to cristen County Route 48/Avalon Avenue a new bridge into town. With the new CR48 in place, Avalon officials have authorized a new development north of town along Spring Street. New farms are in place along Avalon Avenue to boost industry. Our fair city at night. The farms spur new development on Shoreline Road. New farms at Shoreline encourage the city to grow even further! Thanks for looking, the next update will be on 30 March 2008. Feel free to post any thoughts, criticisms, or ideas.

I would download some instantly ploppable mayor mode trees from the STEX and at least use them on the borders of the small towns. Maxis lots don't blend themselves into the maxis terrain so it looks very wierd.

I like your small towns though

The town is looking good. I think it has quite a future ahead of it. You can go into the U-Drive-It menu to turn off those little floating car indicators if you wish - that would keep your town's view from being obstructed. Thanks for sharing Avalon with us.

Along with shutting off the U-Drive It flags, I would also suggest turning off the zones by using the "cheat" zoneria; and if you find water, power, or unemployment zots popping up, those can be turned off with the "cheat" tastyzots. Then after you've taken your screen shots, type the cheats again to turn them back on.

The pictures look great, but should be sized at 800x600.

With that out of the way, you have an interesting start here! It will be fun to see where you take this.

Nice start. As a lot of people said, some more custom content would be nice. And take that ugly pause border off all of your pictures.

Welcome back to Avalon! I got some new trees, some new houses, and farms. My pix are now at 800x600. We have new development in the shoreline area. Our Farmer's Market encourages growth in agriculture. The state has decided to route I-9 through our city! This will for sure bring new commerce! A new interchange is planned to intersect with I-9. Avalon Avenue is extended to reach all the way to Iron Point! With new growth imminent, the mayor commissions a new, modern city center to be built. Farms to the south of town house a new stable. Hope you enjoyed! See you next week!

great start

well done!

[AceofSpades 1]

Kind of early for a highway best idea to put some commerce and save some room around the exits so when you expand people will commute on it.

[jjune4991 1]

it looks good. whats with the little cut of picture on the top of every other pic? hmmm...and your little town center is nice.

[spectrumtech 15]

TY 2 everyone 4 looking!

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Nice pics, sometimes it looks even better to add trees between the fields. The town looks cool, nice market area.

[Shingure 56]

Very nice. I would say that your pictures are still too large. And that you need custom content like some homes and farms . Look up Simgoober on the STEX and also look for his farm fields.Also you can go on SC4 devotion ( You have to register ) And go to the LEX . Search Simgoober and then look for his farmlots and get the dependencies for those lots. Then extract the files to your plugins folder and those they are Application files you can click on them to install them. ( The lots from SC4 devotion )

Great Start ! looking good so far!

Hello everyone, thanks for looking. Sadly, this CJ will have to be canceled until SimCity 4 is working again for me. There is a glitch where, after I load a city, the game instantly shuts down. If there is any help available, PLEASE tell me. I am reinstalling, and hope to start the CJ back up again soon with my archived Avalon. Cheers.

Bad news. I don't know how to help you, unfortunately.
