These are just some pix from my new region.  I have no story line and there will never be one.  i dont have the time to write such things so there will be lots of pix and some captions with them.   I use the NAM and CAM.  You will also see tons of stuff from PEG.  I am a huge fan of what he does for SC4.   I have tons of custom content and way too many ppl to give proper due to.  I thank everyone who comments and looks at my pix.  All pix are in the proper 800x600.

The first city i will showcase will be the City of Bloomington.    Its a huge metro area made up mostly Residential and Commercial buildings with some High-tech thrown in.   Right now populations is at around 550,000 with room to add on.

Wow that's really nice. I love that bridge with the roundabout. Only thing I noticed was you had some locks in a pretty pointless area. Great work though, hoping to see more soon!

Very cool pics! I especially like how you did the Marine Memorial Field, namely the highway junctions connecting to the aves and back, and the lighted piers in your last pic! And the skyscrapers are really squeezed in on this small part of the island!! Keep going, looking foreard to more,

    i also forgot to mention that none of this is plopped,   it is all growable.   i thank everyone who checked out my pix.

    s_olah--  thanx for the comments.  they used it more when my city was younger(150,000 sims).  now that its over 550,000 i have made other connections like avenues and they changed the traffic pattern.

    nihonkaranws--  yeah that was an old picture that i thought i deleted from my photobucket and i never ment to put it on there.  i experimented with the locks just to see what it looked like and never liked it.  thanx for the support.

    RJN--  building a new city now as for Bloomington has flat lined and needs another to start growing again.  Thanx.

    lucky7--  do you mean the avenue interchange?  i wanted that island to be a forest but it aint developing like i wanted it too.  but it still looks good.

    gabry85--thanx!!! haljackey is a great motivator cause hes the best at them and makes the most beautiful interchanges.  yeah some of those buildings i thought i did the right things to get the lights to work but idk.  i got the patch so any help would be nice.

    jacqulina--i think ive seen you on pegs sight before.  but thanx for the support.

    Enough pictures? Amazing work!

    A very interesting use of highways, rails and canals. Everything looks rich and detailed!

    One question: why is the cloverleaf missing a loop? It looks like it could be added without much difficulty...

    Best,

    -Haljackey

    Your city looks great, some of the parts you've taken pics of look very creative! Also, I would recommend that when you take the pictures you turn off the U-Drive It icons as they are quite distracting.

    Nice work, looking forward to more!

    some replies........

    haljackey--yeah i went a lil over board with this update. this city had so much to show i couldnt help it. i usually build my transportation network first, and i was gonna take the rail line down that side of the clover leaf and then take it down the length of the highway, add a station and off the map to the next city but i didnt. its still gonna happen but idk when.

    Teeparex--thanx for the support. i always think about turnin the UDI off after i started takin pictures.

    NMUSpidey--PEG is one of the best. i try to use his canals in every city. Thanx for the comment

    Now a small update. This is the city of Lodi. it started out as a small citybut quickly ballooned to a nice size suberb to Bloomington. It has tons of manufacturing and some nice sized high rises in it. Hope you like.

    some of the factories

    Lodi-Jan7341208804598.jpg

    the most popular factory to work at in Lodi.....

    Lodi-Apr23341208804890.jpg
