[wwetom1 831]

This is my fourth CJ and I hope for it to be a succesful one.

This is the country of

It is a fictional region using the map of all of New Jersey.

I have a few preview pictures from Madison County in southern New Jersey.

All comments and crits are welcome. I will try to update it next week.

i like that pool. and those residential homes look soo real! very nice start!

[Explodingsims 3]

Looks great! Where did you get those houses?

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

As a person who currently lives in (south) Jersey, I am excited to see a CJ with New Jersey in it! Oh, here is a favorite saying for the "Garden State" that I find quite true:

"New Jersey, where the weak are killed and eaten"

Yep, that about sums it up... Have a good one!

[Schulmanator 5,812]

A very promising start. I am eager to see your version of Hunterdon County. I have family there.

[coolotter88 2]

don't forget the upper middle class suburbs on God's (Watchung) mountain here, we're separated from the riff raff in the valley.

[Nexis 1]

Well i'm glad to finally to see another New Jersey Themed City Journal!!

PS. you may have compitetion soon from Me & someone well known!!

[Haljackey 17,398]

Wow, very interesting and lifelike! I like it!

One quick tip: try to smoothen your road in hilly sections. In picture 5, the roads look a bit bumpy. Adding a smooth slope will make it much more realistic!

Best,

-Haljackey

Nice start to your new CJ! The building variety is good (like most of your cities) and the parking lot in the W2W area is a nice addition. However, I'd suggest using a bit less avenues and roads, and instead use some streets now and then, especially in the suburban locations.

[edmonton_stinks 5]

What Kyle said. More streets in the 'burbs, everything else is good.

Industrial wasteland meets suburban hell, this CJ looks promising

[nihonkaranws 88]

Lovely work!

[djlee1999 3]

nice parking lots!

Hello and welcome to the country of

Thank you all for your kind comments. I have read them and have taken your advice, which you will see very soon, I hope.

jjune4991-Thank you. The pool and homes are made by SimGoober.

Explodingsims-The houses are not only from SimGoober, but Matt325 aswell. You can find them on the Stex here, or on the LEX.

SimHottoDDy-Being a former resident of the "Great Garden State" I have not heard a more true quote.

Schulmanator-I had family there aswell. Until they moved of course. Thanks for the support.

coolotter88-I will certainly not for get that. Thanks!

Nexis-I welcome any competition, Nexis! Thanks for stopping by.

haljackey-Thanks for the tip. The map came very hilly, so I have been having a hard time flattening the land for most road networks.

kyx72x-You do not know how many buildings I have bulldozed to keep my variety in buildings up. Thank you for the advice.

edmonton_stinks-I like that you have shown me support in every CJ I start. Thanks!

Wrightguy0-That is what my nieghborhood looked like when I lived in Jersey. Thanks!

nihonkaranws-Thank you!

djlee1999-Thanks!

I figured I'd throw you guys a bone to gnaw on while I prepare for the first update.

Enjoy!

Its not my best work.

[yoshikoroyimara 5]

Good job so far...keep it up!

[nihonkaranws 88]

Wow that's really cool, nice sidewalks as well. It practically takes me to the eastern US. Nice work!

[edmonton_stinks 5]

The teaser looks nice, except for the crummy walkups next to the palacial residences. It's just not realistic, people!

I also like the train.

[wwetom1 831]

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Now I KNOW that's not right! The highrises look good, and I'm sure the area will be great once it's filled in, but it looks kind of odd where the highrises just taper off into nothing. On a sidenote, I like your forests and terrain, and I look forward to seeing them in future suburban updates.

[wwetom1 831]

...Not Again...

For some odd reason, while I was saving my game, my computer shut off, and when I restarded everything madison county was a blank terrain square.

This is all I could scrounge up that worked.

[jacqulina 162]

great start and intro my friend,allready looking good,great looking region my friend too

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

Awwwww, that stinks! And I was looking forward to a full update. What you still have looks awesome though. Please keep it up!

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Sorry to hear that. I hope you can recover your files!

[wwetom1 831]

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

The colors, Duke, THE COLORS!!! Nice vibrant picture you have there. You keep me wanting a full update, but I guess I will have to be patient. Good work!

[City2TheMax 3]

Nice, very nice. I can't seem to tap my finger on it, but this CJ has a different sort of vibe in the pictures. Maybe its the colors you use, idk. It is definitely a good thing though!

[wwetom1 831]

The New College entrance.

[jjune4991 1]
