Contents

 

Thank you for all these comments everyone! First I would like to say I started the contents for this City Journal if you go back you can see what I have done. What do you think?

 

 Thanks everyone for making this City Journal head for the fifth page! In only two weeks![:0]

 

@masher - Thanks for the comment, I don't want to change this Water mod. Because if you search on the STEX for; San Francisco you will get the San Francisco water mod. You'll see it. Thanks for the advice as well.

 

@gstommylee -Thanks for your great comment.

 

@DragonAnime - Thanks for the comment, yes the trees do add so much to this game.

 

@ginchael - Hey there love your City Journal it is very nice. Thanks for commenting in my CJ.

 

@newy2 - It sure does every road should be in place. Thanks

 

@kingofsimcity - Hmm.. I will have to check this out.. Does it take 2x2 tiles? The water mod I am using is on the STEX. Just search San Francisco, and you will have a little taste of San Francisco water your self. Thanks for the comment.

 

@JEC - You really think so? I just check this out and I blieve I do like the one I have better. Thanks for the comment.

 

@helomoto - Sure does everything is in place. Just wait intill those close ups are in! just one more page to go! [:0] Thank you for commenting..

 

@jt_144_2004 - Oh yes very well done. I blieve this may just be the most Realistic City Journal here on Simtropolis.

@baco2005 - Sure did take a while. Took me 5 months and counting today![:0] About the Transportation Mod. It is the Same as TJD one's.. Thanks for commenting..

@Tunafish - You know the sad thing is I won't be able to do all the schools all correctly. For this matter is that the region is so huge. All the schools will be in but I will need to add more. I never been to James Lick High School Before and ya know what I never drove by there before.[:0] If you have MSN I would like to talk to you about this area and How I could improve it. Also recreating the High School if you would like. Thanks for commenting..

@jacqulina - You know what I really do enjoy when you make comments in my CJ. Thanks for the comment. Yes the region is comming along pretty nice now. Just wait intill the update today.

 

@Ninja12 - Yes it is brick.... Just as Palmgurl said you cannot build buildings right under bridges so I had to put it on the side of the Golden Gate bridge no biggy for me. Not at all. You know about the Bay Bridge. I am not going to worry about that as of 'yet' because that 'old' new span has not been complete in years![:0] So I am just going to wait intill I head to the Oakland area. You know I would like your help on one thing as of now. I would like you to help me find out how bart is. I know where BART goes. But What I would like to know is the points on where it is EL and then the places where it is underground. That help would be the most I need as far as now. Thanks for the comment

 

@palmgurl - Thanks for the comment.

 

I will update later today. Stay Tuned.........

[Superstar 69]

Awesome CJ! Yes I believe the contents really help, both to see what everything is and to keep things nice and orginized

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

The Region-Information-Five

 

Here is a Update June 9^th, 2005

 

                    Well I finished Lake Merced a very beautiful lake between San Francisco and Daly City. But on this day I did not have any chances as of yet to finish the upper lake

[ZipZapZop 2]

Oh, I love Lake Merced, can't wait to see the real close ups

[ILL Tonkso 1,239]

I almost fell off my chair when i saw that region pic, WOW. its so realistic i love it.

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

Whoa, how long did it take to make that PEG pond version of lake Merced?

Its amazing!

[newy2 0]

yes great job, nice contents it its looking goodRegional pic looks awesome, i really cannot wait for closer pics, so its a good teaser pic for me

peace

[HillbillyTycoon 81]

My-o I'm surly impressed by Mex can boy progress. Looks like you outta turn this plan over to the real SF city planning council. I see lots of good work. Keep it up! You might convince this ole mountain shine runner to move to Kaliforinia!

[jacqulina 162]

wow great region pics,and you are welcome

[MasterPlanMan 1]

In regard to the SF bridge pic.

Date: 6/22/2005 8:55:52 PM Author: Mexicanboy13r

@MasterPlanMan -  Ahh.. I tried that so long ago and at one time it did work. But the tollboth looked unrealistic as it went up. Thanks for the comment.

quote>

 

Why not raise the whole area including the parking lots and have the approprite grade occur elsewhere? Sorry if you think I am being a bit picky or bothersome but think about having to drive a vehicle up that grade. One of the most unrealistic things I see on a regular basis in CJs is this lack of attention to detail to sloping of roads, rails, and and bridge grades. To me it takes away from these cities attempts to look realistic. The SF bridge is a focal point in your city and by having a unrealistic grade like that  takes away from what you are trying to accomplish I think.

 

Your region shots look promising though! Look forward to seeing more!

 

[palmgurl 1]

i have to say you build so quick!!!!!!  that is very cool i like that hey i like the contents idea too i think this will work out?

[the_SIMtastik_One 3]

Wow! The region views look great! Very accurate. I can see Market Street, The Presidio, Twin Peaks, GG Park... Your shots of the bridge are really good too. I assume that you have the Transamerica Pyramid and Suttro Tower BATs available on the STEX. I'll be checking back to see when you post more closeups. Looks like you've put a lot of work into this.

[MissTonya 2]

I know, how long did it take you to use pegs ponds? that is so cool! i like it i can't wait to see the hustlin bustlin city then the quite parks they look so huge!!!!!!!!

Yo it's Tonya

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

Thank you everyone for these comments. The more comment come in the more closer we are into the sixth page. Once the Sixth pages hits our way. I am going to start the close ups. With just one more region view update![:0] Thank you all for making this CJ already this far!.

@Superstar - Thanks for the great comment, glad you liked the contents.. I am starting to like it.

 

@ZipZapZop - Yes, Lake Merced is very nice and very big in my option. It takes up 4 city squares[:0] Thank you for commenting.

 

@ILL Tonkso - Thank you for the comment. Yeah its a pretty large region and then I did so much! [:0] I feel like I can't believe it. It's like when I say it to my self every time I start simcity and look at the region view and say, Did I do that?

 

@kingofsimcity - Lake Merced only took me 2 days to complete. I got bored a few times and left it. But as of 'now' it's complete I got a little update I would like to show you. DO you think this is better? Check Update

 

@newy2 - Thanks, it's great to hear from some one that likes my Contents.. Took me some time to think of a good picture. The region picture does get better and better does it? Closer shots will be coming on Page 6 Get ready!![:0]

 

@HillbillyTycoon - Man! My old friend, its been so so long! Thank you for commenting in my CJ. Thanks glad you like the region. It sure does look very accurate. But I am so happy I am done with the worst areas of town that are so hard. Downtown, Golden Gate Park, Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street. Just to name a few... Thank you for the comment!

 

@jacqulina - Thanks for the comment. Hope to see you around.

 

@MasterPlanMan - Glad you posted Check out the updated and you will see what I have done. I think it is way better. I just used EL Highway because I wanted the bridge to have a shadow under. But It was not possible how you wanted it. It was too hard. 2 hours and was going![:0] So I just used the non EL Highway instead. Just take a look.

 

@palmgurl - Thanks Glad you liked the contents idea. I do work very fast at times. But I think I may have been slow lately? I don't know just wait until next update.

 

@the_SIMtastik_One - Hey there, thank you for the comment. Glad you really enjoyed those region views. Yes I did add the Transamerica Pyramid in of course why wouldn't I? and the Sutro Tower as well. Thank you for commenting Hope to see you around.

 

@MissTonya - Only 2 days to commlete. Not long at all.. Thank you for commenting. Yes you will see Very nice parks and then very busy roads. Is that what you like to see if I may ask? anyways Hope to see you around.

 

Well everyone told me I had to fix up a couple of things off the Golden Gate Bridge. What do you guys think of this update? Is it better than the last one?

Nice Region! Great job! This is really one of the best regions I have ever seen! (I have lived in San Fransisco before)

[Chris M 406]

Great Mex, just gradually showing us pictures, kinda like that..keeps more to the imagination. I really love that area right before the highway drifts on to the water, cool scenic area.
