Land van Cuijk: New farming community!

[Lifetec 1]

This is my first CJ, I do have some experience with simcity 4, but you can't compare it with the other CJ's you'll find here, to low for that, So I hope I will improve during this CJ. Although I work on it with pleasure, and I hope you will enjoy it as well as I did.

Oke, this CJ isn't based on any real places. It is just my own imagination.

I use:

-Simoleon mod,

-NAM

-And of course a lot of custom content, which I'm very glad people uploaded so many cool things Thx!

I'm first going to show a bit of Cuijk's history, this will contain 1 update.

After that we're taking a look at the expansion. But you'll see that in the next update.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll enjoy this CJ.

Here you see the local church and a few shops, which are essential for the people in this town.

Some blocks with houses build in 1886

From another angle. You'll notice the dead tree at the cemetery.

There is only one farm located in Cuijk it's a small one owned by one of the richest people in town.

Here there is a better view over the town.

And another view of the farm.

I'm sorry I don't know much to say by every picture

Next update: Changes of Cuijk!

Thanks for visiting.

Twenty20: Welcome to my city journal, Thanks for your wonderful comment

s_olah: Welcome! Thanks you for your nice comment

deion30296: Glad you passed by, Thanks for your comment

Mike the Mayor: Thanks mate, I hope you'll stay liking my CJ

gabry85: Thanks for visiting! I'm not talented if you talk about photoshop, but I thought this b/w effect gives the ability to make a picture look old

Nardo69: Welcome to my CJ Bernhard! Thanks for your great comment !

algis242: Welcome, I'll do my best to make it as interesting as possible, Thanks for your comment

jacqulina: Glad you visited my CJ I hope you'll still like it, when my city, and this topic is getting larger

After we've seen a small bit of Cuijk in the past, I'm going to show you the changes, in later updates I'm going to show more development in this city.

As you can see, the biggest part of Cuijk is changed. Althought the farm is still located at the same place.

Here you can see another part of the main road, for fast travelling through this small town.

This is a better view of the old farm. Also the watertower is part of the picture,This watertower has been in use for a very long time.

As you can see the only part which is left from the past, is where the church and the old shops are located. Everything else has been destroyed, and is

completely rebuilt with modern housing. There is also a forest located in the middle of the neighbourhood, it is protected, but they don't know for how long

because they're saying that this is the perfect location for a small CBD.

Here is a better view on the church, as you can see there a some houses left, they are protected so it won't be destroyed.

This is everything left, of the historic part near the farm. Every single house is destroyed apart of this old building.

[jacqulina 162]

yes of course i will still be visiting my friend,i see some wonderfull development going on here very nice work and pics.

[Amerikaner 42]

Nice work, this looks very good. I really like how you have gotten Cycledogg trees, it will already help your CJ stand out from all the others, and it is what caught my eye for sure. I really liked your first main picture in the second update, it showed maxis at one of its best.

[bbfan02 23]

Great work! I like the use of Peg's seasonal trees. Great farms!

-bbfan02-

[Mike the Mayor 51]

It's hard not to now that I've seen this update. Great work, lovely building choice and the greenery makes the area look ever so much nicer!

[panthersimcity4 162]

Not bad! I love that orange farm with the diagonal fence

[Lifetec 1]

I know it is pretty fast, but I've been busy with my city for a long time today and as I promised in the last update I would start a small CBD.

Well, they finally decided to start the CBD at the place where the (protected forest) "was" located. After long negotiations, they bought the forest

(yes, they bought it) for a large amount of money.  So this is the place where it's gonna be build.

As you can see there will be a major road connecting the 2 sides, so there will be more capacity when the CBD is build.

You can see the forest at the 4th picture of the first update.

I will answer the comments tomorrow, when my new update is coming (as well for me earlier than i thought)

More and better pictures tomorrow.

[Artur_001 4]

Great pics. Although, I think that R$ homes shouldn't are located near huge mansions. Nice CJ.

[Lifetec 1]

jacqulina: Thank you for your wonderful comment, I hope you'll enjoy this update as well

Amerikaner: Welcome, and thank you for this great comment

bbfan02:  Glad you passed by! Yes I like using Peg's seasonal trees, makes the game more realistic.

Mike the Mayor: Thanks for your nice comment, hope you'll like this one again

panthersimcity4: Welcome to this CJ. Thanks, I like using the fences

Artur_001: Welcome, thanks for your comment and tip!

As I promised in the last "teaser", I've been busy with a small CBD in Cuijk. Well after some planning where to build it and spending some money on buying the forest

I finally started the development of the CBD. It worked out pretty well. See for yourself!

Very nice little suburbs, love all the different kinds of trees

Very nice. The maxis looks good. It doesnt look Yikky. It looks nice and appropriate for the setting. Also I love CP's trees. They make the Cj look worthwhile.
