Good Bye Chain Island


 


CJ is closed, teasers of my 4th CJ is the only thing now...

Well, I am starting my 3rd CJ... As I said in my past/ current CJ SimWorld: This was just the beginning of the beginning for me in the world of CJ's... I have taken all of your advice in my old CJ and made a new region called Uoni Island!! I didn't like the name though so we know it as Chain Island but only us... The pictures will say Uoni Island please ignore them!! I have only had the time to start 2 cities so after a while we'll get all 5 cities!! I hope you'll like!! High resolution pictures will come after I fix the little crises!!

Without these this CJ would look horrid!!
NAM
BSC
PEG
RHW (NAM)
SC4 Mapper
Photobucket
NDEX
Team Grater
Cobb
and many more!!

Note: I do have experience!! All region shots will have some spots with no flora that will be fixed soon!!

Introduction

Chain Island (Uoni)
Population: 834
Commercial: 385
Industrial: 1,328

Here's an overview of this region:
Note: The flora may look cut out in spots because I didn't have time to do it properly.
UoniIslands1.jpg

Here's an transportation map of the region:
Note: As the region grows the railroad around the island will grow...
UoniIslands2.jpg

Here's the largest city:

Ports Mouth
Residential: 536
Commercial: 303
Industrial: 1,328

Here's an overview:
City-PortsMouth1.jpg

Here's a traffic overview:

The second city which contains the tallest sumit on the island!!

Peak
Population: 298
Commercial: 82
Industrial: 0

Here's an overview:
City-Peak1.jpg

Here's a traffic overview:
City-Peak2.jpg

Here's a overview shot of the Peak Rail Terminal and the surroundings:

Here's the beach since it is imposible to build a seawall:

Here's the summit of Mt. Peak:
MtPeak.jpg

That sums it up!! Don't complain because the train tracks end in the middle of no where and about the flora problem!! I'm trying the best I can to be realistic any suggestions and/or comments about this CJ would be greatly wanted!! Lets all wish good luck to this CJ!!

See You Soon!! 1.gif

Ok well first off,
the piers good. I like that.

Second, turn off the grid, you can do that
by pushing G. 

Other than that it mostly just needs some more 
development towards the inland. 

See ya around!

Good start. No city ever looks realistic until it's finished, so don't worry about it being incomplete.

Get a terrain mod, because the maxis terrain sucks. They also have one or two not available here at sc4 devotion.2.gif

i like your island...though i dont see how its a chain island! just kidding. and the only thing that i dont like is the fact that the beach in Ports Mouth is right next to the port. it seems like a lot of pollution would be on that beach. but it still is a good start. and that large beach in Peak is really cool. great start and can't wait to see more development!

    I can't wait to see what takes shape- a ritzy beachside neighborhood in the making? 2.gif

    This is a great small region- it gives you very little space, so you can give quality time to your detailing- don't pass the chance for detail up!

    Im afraid I dont understand how he fooled me? The zoomed out pictures were an

    old terrain mod and the zommed in ones werent. So I was a bit confused, but needless

    to say he definitely has a terrain modd now!

    I think you should put a beach there, as seawalls are unrealistic for such a small town.

    What is the dome and the silos beside it?

    Replies:

    FlyingObjects: Good decision!! The dome is a Geo Incinerator and the silos are the Magma Power Plant...

    edmonton_stinks: Thanks!! It is just the Columbus Terrain Mod...

    jjune4991: I can't that's the problem... The water has rocks on the botom!!

    Update 3: Newbies

    What's wrong with the beach mod?? Well here you are:

    Sorry, caps lock was stuck. Nice looking start! The trees look great. Did you hand plop those or were you able to do that in mayor mode with the big brush?

    Well, come on page 2!!!! Whooo!!

    Replies:

    NMUSpidey: It's a giant golf club?? Thanks!! I had to hand plop them... That's why it takes forever!!

    jjune4991: The beach mod comes with the terrain mod. Sadly, there's no way I can change it...

    edmonton_stinks: Something else...!!!

    manubeas: Thanks X2!! Yes there is something wrong with the beaches... The colour is all out of wack...

    Ruichando: Thanks!! Yes, it is the Columbus terrain mod!


    Update 4: The Surprises!

    Thanks to edmonton_stinks for coming up with this idea!! There's 2 surprises for you!! 1: A new village called Quincy!! LOL!! I love that name... The second surprise is a surprise until after you read about Quincy! Sory about no update yesterday, my life is very busy on Mondays and Thursdays!

    Part 1:

    Quincy

    A small town forms just north of Uoni Island!

    ItStarts.jpg

    Quincy's utilities area:

    Quincy grows:

    As the town grows, they establish a pier:

    The entrance to the pier:

    PiersBeginning.jpg

    The Quincy Market, The Quincy Marina and the Quincy Lighthouse at the end of the peir:

    PiersEnd.jpg

    Part 2:

    The Main Surprise:

    This isn't much of a surprise but it is fun!! all repliers of this update will be able to chose something they want to build in this region! It can be anything. Once I make Update 5, no one new will be able to build something that is named after them. This will last until every one who replied this update has there's built.

    For Update 5 there wont be anything major...

    See You Soon!! 1.gif

    Pretty good update, un1 44.gif

    As for the building requests, I would like a trumpet interchange in a convenient spot. Name it the 'Patrician Interchange' if you like. Just build it when convenient -- I wouldn't like it to stick out like a sore thumb.

    Looking forward to Update 5.
