-- Follomer Showcase (AFDES) (SL)

[Korot 6]

And with that sorted, I can give my opinion about the airport. For starters, if you expand an airport, expanding the terminal might be useful to do as well. Another advise is to relocate the fourth runway, as it now lays directly in front of another one, meaning that only one can be used safely at any given time, meaning that this expansion didn't increase the capacity. Other than that, it looks fine.

Greetings,

Whew! That's a relief

[jacqulina 162]

great newspaper my friend

[Follarch 327]

jacqulina: Thank you very much, I always appreciate your compliments.

Leech10: Huh...it does doesn't it? Coincidence?

And thanks!

TmiguelT: Thank you! And it's okay, haha, I understood somewhat. Thank you again for the compliment.

danielcote: Thank you, but, what do you mean repetative? The city or the airport?

Archean: Uh oh, Follomer died?? Damn simcity_3.dat file!

danielcote: T'was a sad day for me, but thank you.

TmiguelT: You spoke my words, lol.

Archean: Oh, me again? Wait....yay! Follomer didn't die afterall! Who's up for a drink? 

TmiguelT: I will most certainly! 

jacqulina: Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.

Korot: Expanding the terminal itself as well did cross my mind, but I thought it was big enough. And I can't really relocate the fourth runway, the local terrain won't allow a smooth plop anywhere else so that location was the only more appealing one. Thank you for your advice. ^^

Schulmanator: Yes it is! And, just to add, I never really realized just how unique your name is.

Archean: Yay for newspapers! I like this one. ^^

jacqulina: Thank you very much jacky.

Update 27 | The New Kristina

The new remodeled Kristina City has a much more attractive waterfront, utilizing the latest in city building techniques that I have developed.

The maxis convention center has been redone to match its base textures with my sidewalks, as well as sprucening up the place with nicer looking props.

The city's rail network has yet to see any usage.

And neither has it's highways. Such wasted space for some eyecandy.

However, to get your mind off the sadness of non-used transportation, let's go watch a ball game. Homeruns almost always fall into the bay, which are called "waterballs".

[Retep Molinari 68]

For the highway overpass, how did you do that? I always need to use the raise avenue ramps but i'd rather not!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Waterballs... interesting. Does anyone ever dive in to collect them? Can't wait for more!

[danielcote 9]

Nice water front! I also like the choice of buildings.

[TmiguelT 10]

Awesome Update!! I like how you are putting so much detail with the sandstone . Can't wait for more

[jacqulina 162]

wow fantastic work and pics my friend

[Follarch 327]

Retep Molinari: That overpass was built using NAM avenue puzzle pieces, and NAM RWH puzzle pieces. The on/off ramps and part of the latest RWH release, so if you want the ramps, you'll need the RWH.

Leech10: Since the water isn't that deep, I'm sure a lot of freelance go in there and collect balls for the league, hoping to get a quick buck for taking a dip.

danielcote: Thanks daniel! I appreciate the compliments on the waterfront and my city planning.

TmiguelT: Thank you! And I'm absolutely loving the Sandstone textures. However I'm sort of stuck with it, because if I take out the sandstone sidewalk mod, all of my sandstone textures that I use go away too.

jacqulina: Thank you very much jacky, for your nice compliments.

[mcarch 15]

Where did you get the building from that I circled in the attachment?  I really like it! Thanks =)

[Zelgadis 638]

Update 27, tall, shiny building, front and center. I never realized how naughty it looks until I saw it just then.

ISF

[Follarch 327]

mcarch: You can find that building here.

Zelgadis: ....ohhh god, that one building? I can see that too now, thought you were talking about the entire downtown, Well thanks for pointing out that I accidentally city planned a naughty symbol.

Update 28 | Night in the Capitol

 

Shown here is Tristania proper, the AFDES Complex, Myon Embassy and the Uniden River. Might I say a lot around this tile was named after the old city before it was utterly destroyed due to causes out of the sims control. But not all was lost! The famous Stoneliegh hotel constructed during the Uniden era still stands on it's waterfront locale.

The Chancellery building resides in this part of the Metro area, where the High Council, Vice Chancellor and Chancellor lead the country day after day. And if you want to know, to the left of those parkinglots is where the baseball field is for the city, snuggled right under Mount Terissia.

This area of the metro area has seen just as much destruction and reconstruction as Tristania proper has in it's days, maybe even a bit more because it's never perfect for me. Here lies the new yet old (if that makes sense to you) Cathedral of our Lady, mother Kristina. As well as several business parks, and actually park and part of the city's highway at the bottom. Uniden International Airport lies beyond the left side of this mosaic.

[TmiguelT 10]

AWESOME!!!!!!

I know how it feels...... i wanted to do that but i was like OH NO if i do that I'm gonna messed up some other cities

Where did you get all your sand stone pieces?

[Follarch 327]

TmiguelT: You mean the sandstone plaza lots? They were originally white plaza lots, but I replaced the texture with the sandstone one in Lot Editor, to match my sidewalks.

[Zelgadis 638]

Heh. Nothing wrong with destruction and reconstruction. Good lord, I do that constantly. It's good to keep renewing your concepts. And they're getting quite a lot better for you it seems.

[jacqulina 162]

awesome night shots my friend

wow and how do you do that? Is it easy to do it or not?

Edit: I already download the white plaza set .

[Patricius Maximus 236]

I like your latest updates, especially the rebuilt Kristiana City. Looking forward to more.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Huh... I thought i already commented... Looks good, can't wait for more!

I see McDonald's!

[jacqulina 162]

looking for more my friend

[ecoba 28]

Wow Archean, Well I've Been Lurking But I'm Posting. You've Done An Excellent Job With The Syndicate And The Colonies, Just Beautiful. I've Also Noticed That Follomer Has A Very Interesting Striping Pattern On It's Roads...

-ecoba

[Keegan V50 15]

nice update there Archean,im always a fan of your Capitol,it looks really nice

all the best

victor

[Follarch 327]

Zelgadis: Really think so? I KNOW that ive gotten a lot better since the very first posts of my city journal. Thank you for your compliments!

jacqulina: Thank you very much my friend.

TmiguelT: Actually, quite simple once you learn whats what. Just click on the lot tiles in the LE and delete them, then find the texture you want from a list and plug em on in there, then save, then find the file that was created from that and slip that into the folder that contains the BAT you just edited.

Patricius Maximus: Thank you very much, I can never find that perfect city, but at least they look better then how they once were.

Leech10: Well, now you did. ;P

And yesh! If you on Earth, youre bound to find a McDonalds somewhere on that planet. The Myon must find a cheeseburger from McDonalds a luxury quisine.

jacqulina: You'll find more mah friend.

ecoba: Hey, my second lurker! (thank you for replying) Thank you very much on all those compliments, and the striping. Euro textures, however there are some, glitches with diagonals.

Victor Valdes: Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the update and the capitol.

Update 29 | Something New

Now you can find this phrase in Follomer, click here for full resolution.

This new island is my latest side project, which when finished, will tie into my current CJ story. The island is located west of the Follomer mainland, and will, upon completion, have five major cities, not including towns. Now youre lucky! I was going to hold this back till it was finished, well i ran out of things to show you and i wanted something new. Well, here you go!

First off, a city currently in construction.

This city is located along the norther cliffs of the island, nestled between the ocean and the mountains. It's a small settlement compared to the islands proclaimed capitol and major financial centers, but there still its fair share of towers rising up.

Of course, the AFDES have to have its own little center on the island.

A finished shopping center in the city, stores and departments centers gives you all that you need.

Regardless of the city's size, it has its own elevated rail transit network, just cause I said so.

And the city's spiritual park, a reflecting lake next to the city's cemetaries, honoring those who have passed.

Unlike other cultures, Follomerians thrive on keeping their symbols of death, such as cemetaries as cheerful and bright as possible. No haunting stories here.
