I love a good rural-small town. Here's Mackavie, just finished some downtown details, but still need to relot a few things to match the new NAM rail textures.

Sorry for the bump but I just wanted to show my small town, Tesla.

Here's the main intersection:

Of course, I'm still working on it. The designs of the REAL small towns in my state inspired me to do the small town like this. Also, I'm not sure if I should cover the town with farms. Sorry for the weird name, I got the name from a defensive in the game Clash of Clans. :P

In case you weren't aware, Tesla is also the last name of Nikola Tesla. He was an early experimenter of both AC (alternating current) electricity and X-Rays. So it isn't really that weird of a name. He's also the namesake of Tesla Motors (electric automobiles).

The township of Illinoise is experiencing spontaneous rapid growth, stimulated for the most part via similar growth trends within the local industrial sector. Hovering just above 10K population, the town has almost doubled in size during the last ten years.

Nice work Selles. That town/village looks super cool what with all the MMPs surrounding it.


Dear sir/madam/whoever will read this!

This profile is now defunct.

Computer problems and issues with accessing my Imageshack account meant My SC4 CJ Scrapbook was lost and utterly irretrievable. This setback put me off SC4 for many months.

Apologies for the inconvenience and for the lost pictures.

But that SC4 itch did not go away and it had to be scratched! I have started afresh with a new account here- The British Sausage

The URS is a spiritual successor to the SC4 CJ Scrapbook.

With this update this will be the last time I visit my original Simtropolis account- admin/mods feel free to remove it or do whatever you need to do. I have no further use for the Ln X (BLANKBLANK) account.

 

With regards, Miles Saunders-Priem aka. Ln X aka. The British Sausage

Great looking towns everyone.

Here is a small island town I've been working on for some time.

<snip>

Oh wow! That looks amazing! I love how you made that road look all curvy by using draggable FAR; that makes it look a lot more realistic.

 

Overall, great job!

I've been experimenting with new tree controllers and props to see what sort of affect they have on a simple village.

 

This is Brotherhood Creek, a small community that sits by the lake. But this settlement thrives with the metal industry. It was founded 214 years ago by a group of blacksmiths which had intended to sell horseshoes, chains, and hunting knives to passing merchants to and from the port city in the south.

Tired and lost travelers settled in the vicinity and through their skills, the whole of Brotherhood Creek was established. Several of the original buildings still stand but there have been recent developments popping up to accommodate people wanting to get away from the city.

Brotherhood creek gets its power from a hydroelectric dam that has been standing and generating for 60 years. The original proposal for power was narrowed to either coal or hydroelectricity and after a lengthy debate between politicians and locals, the dam was ultimately chosen.

The metal and manufacturing facilities as they appear today. Built on top of the original site of the main blacksmith operation. These plants are responsible for providing the region's belt buckles, high end chess sets, hunting knives (old habits die hard), and more recently Silver candle holders (these are hugely popular in the city; and the yuppies there have no trouble paying $75 per unit for them).

This is Tarbutt Township with a population of 5,475. It's situated on the east coast of the North Channel and the southern edge of the Sault Ste. Marie metropolitan area.

I'd probably suggest not using the plopped beach tiles. Maybe consider using some of the water brushes? You can use those to enhance coastal areas and beaches.

And I'd say this is about as small as a small town can get.

There are many of these fish-rearing ponds in the countryside.

In the 19th century, villages like these dotted the exurbs of New Orleans: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Malo,_Louisiana. None now survive, sadly, although they have served as an inspiration for my region in many ways.

Time flies. The America has been reshaped by (sub)urbanization. Looking forward to your updates.
