Minru Island

[wallasey 8]

Great to see residential developments hitting the skies!

I hope your unemployment/lack of jobs problem comes to an end soon!

What's your current pop approx??

[un1 41]

I'm looking foward to the day you update!! A slope mod is a mod that reduces the amount of the slope. Instead of about 2 tiles to go down a little slope it could (will) turn it into 5. If you want a slope mod I could recommend one.

Nice job!

Hope to see more from you!

un1: Thanks!

Cobra_nVidia, peachpit580: Well here it is!

wallasey: I'm very glad too! Thank you! They already came to an end. My regional population is 172,961 and Minru district(last update and this update city) has 13,733.

It's still quite small but it's growing fast!

un1: oooo I get it. Sure! recommend me one and I'll try it out but, will it destroy my cities? Very nice job with chain Island btw.

squiggles35: Thank you!

Well, to start, here's an overview of the current Minru District main Island:

A new bridge is built to the east part of the city:

Bohan Ave. is built :

Suburbs are built in all this side, new suburbs that consist in closer and smaller houses:

then, many trees are planted:

The commercial zones are the first thing to develop:

More commercial buildings and residential zones finally start to develop, also two major schoools are built:

More residential:

The area is now fully developed:

The 4th bridge of the city: 

And the 5th:

AND THE 6th!!!:

First official highway in Minru Island, The M1 highway which will be one of the few which will travel around the whole region(eventually):

The little bridge takes you to a little isald which is great for retired people who want peace in thei lives:

Tolls are put immediately to generate more income for future development:

Another nice, little town:

200th Image!!!

More suburbs near the highway with a new commercial area to provide jobs for this side:

Then, some schools are built and the area starts developing quickly:

Finally, a hospital and the area is almost completely developed:

Note: As you can see, I increased the quality of my pics so it may take a bit more time to load.

Ok people, I have a major problem. This could mean the end of my cj if I don't get it fixed! I downloaded Columbus terrain texures and I deleted them cause I didn't like them, so I run the game, and I'm like: "Oh I'm going to take pics fore my cj". I press to enter the city and crashes to desktop. I said like, "well that happens a lot, let's try again". So I do and the same, and the same and the same. Can't load any city in any region!!!! Please help me! I was getting so excited of my cj. HELP ME!!!!

I know its because of Columbus terrain textures but don't know how to fix it!

Any help is appreciated,

Manuel

This continues to look better each time I view it. How did you do that toll plaza? Is that a custom puzzle piece? Would you mind telling me where I could find it? I really like this city, and look forward to more updates!

This might sound silly, but did you try just reinstalling the columbus terrain textures? At least that would allow to keep taking pics until someone found a more permanent solution

okay, quick replies

Mayor Zoidberg: Thank you!!! here's the link to the tolls: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=4003&v=1

Cobra_nVidia: Yes, I did but it looks horrible because the beach goes gray and the water kinda gray and it simply looks horrible. But if I don't have any other way, I'll have to continue like that, thank you for taking the time to help me anyway.

The South part of Minru District keeps growing, reaching to the limits of the highway:

More schools are provided:

Glad you fixed it!! Yeah, the game components can be a curse, sometimes, but, hey, this makes the game more interesting lol (as if you wouldn't already have enough work with your great CJ... ) . Looking very good, well planned, looking therefore much forward to more,

Here's a teaser of next update:

Stay tuned!!!

[luudan 6]

wooo, awesome CJ!

nice boat!!

[un1 41]

This is very nice. Sorry I missed so much... No slope mods don't destroy your cities or your old slopes. Only new ones... I'll recomend one to you when I have the time...

[panthersimcity4 162]

I love the feel of your city, reminds me of Seattle with all of the water and islands.

[anarchy0029 2]

Dying to see what your next teaser is.

[Twenty20 28]

Beautiful work. The access to the bridges are a little hard ! but the city is really lovely.

Jim1994: Glad you liked the teaser!

un1: Don't worry I've missed your cj too!!

panthersimcity4: Well, If you like the isands, wait for my next update which is a brand new piece of land fuuull of them.

anarchy009: Very glad you liked it!

twenty20: Thanks! What do you mean with the acces is hard?

I would also like to announce that I'm planning to do a new cj!(apart from this one)

I'll post some pics later today of the region and a city.

[manubeas 0]

Here are the first pics of my brand new cj!!!!
NOTE: I'M NOT CANCELLING MINRU ISLAND.
I'm officially starting it on saturday!! Yay
Hope you like the pics, I tried to take the best part of my city:





Well, now back to Minru Island, a brand new city that as you saw on the teaser was found by a (beautiful and new)cruise from Boslestock that got lost on a trip to Minru District. The Islands are far away from the main cities of Minru but I'ts a perfect place to start new development.
Here are some aerial pics which were taken by the rescuers:





Development starts on the east island of the city:


The city chooses to use wind power:


Some pics of developement:






That's it for today! Sorry, but I'm preparing my new cj.
Stay tuned!!!

i personally don't like building on uneven terrain, probably because i'm not good at it, but you make it work. good job keep it up
