penguin007 - Thank you, yes nightlights are great apart from when you have a few buildings that won't light up.

KingTitan - I do prefer the new style of editing, brings out the colours more. Thank you for commenting!

psander5 - Thanks alot, I love that building but I'm just a fool for big glass boxes

ky72x - Bigger is better in this case, glad you like it!

penguin007 - Glad you like the port.

Time for an update, this time we will be filling the gaps between the suburban town of Pewsley and the new port.

and heres an overview of the development so far on the port.

I hope you like it and keep your comments coming!

Just a quick preview of what I'm currently working on.

This is Government Island and I've quickly put together a map to show you where it is in Cork.

Here is a look at the main buildings on the Island.

A closer look at a few of my favourite buildings in the area.

Heres a mosaic of the island, sorry if its not any good, its the first time I've tried to make one.

Finally a night shot showing the edges of the Island and the commercial district.

Just a preview of the next update, and we wil lbe back visiting the suburbs. This time to the town of Highfield and on the other side of the river, which could do with a name!

Government Island looks great! Especially the parliament building and your favourite building... here it comes... what are they, and where can I get them?!

I also like the way you've connected the excellent Helsinki Train Station. The industrial port looks brilliant too.

[SirUnger 13]

I like your CJ very much. This was the first time I saw it and it's amazing. Government Island looks very nice and your port looks great too. I

[rainyday 2]

i love your cj it's really cool. I like the idea of a government island. I have a few questions about custom content. Where did youget those seawalls???

One more thing... How the hell did you get the islands terraforming so straight

[fabsies55 5]

wow your city has grown alot since i last saw it.

you should consider a region shot. and maybe a airport.

your city has grown in size and height althought thats what u'd expect from almost all cities.

your residential areas are cool and your ports are massive!!! you gotta be the biggest importing and/or exporter in the country!!!

great job in your city

SirUnger - Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

rainyday - I think the seawalls are these  -https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=114

I also made a quick basic tutorial on how I use them.

Firstly you terraform out the land you want, using the leveller/flattening tool.

Then mark out the line your coast, with roads, this will be where the seawalls will go.

Using the leveller tool this time make a 1 tile cliff around the road, it doesn't have too be too accurate yet.

Add your seawalls but you may get bits where the cliff comes out of the seawalls.

Just use the levelling tool lightly to get rid of them. Then your done!

fabsies55 - Thank you for commenting, yes a region shot would be nice but lets just say it currently has a few bugs. An airport is also currently under construction so we should see one in the future.

[ky72x 13]

Good job making Government Island. Lots of perfect building choices there, not to mention plenty of parks and open spaces. Also, nice tutorial for the seawalls. That's basically the way I do it, too.

[Twenty20 28]

Wow, excellents updates ! I especially love the seaport, it's impressive !!!

[suby 0]

Do you experience crashes often with such big areas?

[SirUnger 13]

The suburbs are amazing. I

[Viles 0]

Twenty20 - Glad you like it, the seaport is one of my favourite areas too.

suby - I used to experience alot of crashes, but I think I might have fixed that now, hopefully.

SirUnger - Thank you for commenting.

Its been a while since I have updated this, what with holidays and other stuff. Recently I have gone back over a few areas to improve them and here is a preview of one of the many new developments. An office complex just outside the financial district.

[art128 4,618]

the last picture is beautiful !

[dmscopio 225]

great update! love your planning of the downtown with seaports. keep it up!

[dfnva 34]

Wow I like some of the custom interchanges you have as well at the interesting square roundabouts where mulitple roads come together.

-Dan

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Great office complex! It's very green; must be a nice place to work, with all the trees.

[knarfmo 0]

Wow - this is city building on an epic scale... very LeCorbusier-esque.

[boon1234 9]

[roboo1 1]

The railway and higway systems are fantastic!

[fabsies55 5]

art128 - Thank you, I'm glad you like it

dmscopio -  errr planning? Thanks for commenting and also thanks for your wonderful BATs.

dfnva - Interchanges arn't really my thing, and those roundabouts are meant to be round but its easier to make them squareish.

edmonton_stinks - Thank you, its kind of based on an office complex near where I live. Only this one has more trees and lakes.

boon1234 - I'm glad you like it, thank you for commenting

roboo1 - Thanks, I have been trying to improve the railways recently.

fabsies55 - I'm glad you like the residential areas as they are quite tricky to get realistic.

More development in Cork, this one hasn't started yet but is a very big and exciting plan. The journalism is poor but oh well.

[psander5 195]

Nice Olympic bid. If I were an IOC deligate i'd be tempted to give you my vote! Is the capacity reduceable stadium inspired by the London Olympic stadium?

[Viles 0]

psander5 - Thank you! I wouldn't say inspired but I probably got the idea from the London games.

As I said before I have been going over some areas and this update shows some of the change I have made to the CBD.

A closer look at some of the buildings.

Sorry the update is a bit rushed

[jacqulina 162]

excellent suburbs and port my friend very nicely put together

[psander5 195]

Nice night shots! I like the way you pul lots of 'forest' into your cbd. It's something that might help to improve real life city living.

[timcravey 168]

What a great collection of BATs. Are there any historical reminders of the evil old North Carolina days in the city? Like ruined forts or castles - maybe you could BAT a LM Colonial Administration building. Beautiful work so far.
