[simzebu 20]

Wow. you have a lot better variety in buildings than any of my cities. I once had a huge downtown of only those blue boutiques. Looks good!

And Welcome to Page 2!

[SpartanBadger 4]

Thanks again for the comments, I'm about to play SC4 right now. I'm interested in what you guys would like to see in my next city?

GLENNI: I didn't demolish too many generic buildings, just mainly Double Tree Hotel and Sheraton Four Points hotel and a few others because I have at least 10 of each, which is just ridiculous and annoying.

 

Update coming sometime later today!

 

SORRY GUYS! I CAN'T UPDATE TODAY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME. I WILL UPDATE TOMORROW FOR SURE, BUT BECAUSE I CAN'T ACCESS THE INTERNET FROM MY COMPUTER I HAVE TO TRANSFER THE PICTURES FROM THERE TO THIS COMPUTER, AND IT'S NOT WANTING TO LET ME DO THAT.

REACHING FOR THE SKY

The rennovation of Downtown Wallalei has been immensely successful. The former bland and unimpressive skyline has been transformed to the new commercial powerhouse of Copacorales. The city's Central Business District has been restored to its former glory, with new construction all over downtown. The population is flirting with 200,000 sims; part of the cause of such growth in the CBD. The new skyscrapers are much more impressive, and taller than before. The elated sims have given their mayor a nearly 100% approval rating. Here's a new view of Wallalei.

Mitsubishi has constructed their Crystal Mall and now they call Wallalei home. As you can see, Larus plaza is under construction on the same block. You'll also notice the e2i Trade Center dominating the central area of this picture with the RLS Executive Tower rising majestically behind it.

 

 

This is the new city of Wallalei. The commercial development has stretched west with a few massive skyscrapers, noteably the Kali Knight Conference Center and Yelluzha Technologies.

 

The new beachfront development housing. These residential towers are located a minute's walk from the newly moved minor league stadium.

 

All seems well in the city, although trouble may be ahead...

There has been a leak of information from the Mayor's office; unconfirmed reports that the city is losing funds at a rate of 3-7 thousand simoleons a month. The validity of these statements have not been confirmed either. Stay tuned for further updates of Wallalei and Copacorales!

 

Comments, suggestions?

Excellent Update!

 

Nice skyscrapers!

[simzebu 20]

I didn't know there were that many skyscrapers! Right after I post this, I'm making a trip to the STEX.

[SpartanBadger 4]

Thanks for the comments you two. Should I update again or wait for some more replies? I don't want to update too soon...

[Jerebannus XVI 7]

That city will certainly reach the sky at the pace it's growing. Great updates

If you have enough pics and stuff you should keep updating. You have a very sharp looking CJ so far, I wouldn't worry about ppl not catching on. I'll be watching...

[MissTonya 2]

cute downtown so lovely with the night

Yo it's Tonya!

[simzebu 20]

Update. definately.

[Swiss_Canadian 2]

WOW!! I love the night shots! They're so......hmmm....how can I choose a word without risking sounding gay *in NO offence whatsoever to our wonderful gay Simtropolians* so... placid? Is that ok? lol Yes, very placid and peaceful and yet lively at the same time; so very much unlike the city I live in haha. Great job, can't wait for another update!

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

nice cj!!! keep it up!!!

[Chris M 406]

I've just looked through all the updates on page 1 and I must say that this looks like it is going to be a very promising City Journal, especially the fact that you do not cheat. Keep up the good work Xspiderman.

SIMS SAY, VICE NOT NICE!

The sim citizens of Wallalei have had enough of the vice problem in their city. They have spoke and they want the red light district gone! Fearing that he may lose the faith of his sims (and the chance to return as mayor in next year's election), Mayor Lopez orders the demolition of what is left of the red light district. The citizens of Wallalei will be pleased to see that no longer are there seedy motels and sleezy strip joints in their city!

 

Above is the remaining red light district; Red's Motel (rents weekly, daily, hourly), Club Deja Vu, Chippendales, and Lappers A Go Go before the demolition.

 

 

 

And above is the new residential development over the previous area. The sims asked Mayor Lopez for a new and unique landmark, and he gave them the Kuwait Pavilion. Cobb Housing has already bought and started production on the former site.

 

 

 

 

 

A STEEL GRAVEYARD?

 

The skyline over downtown Wallalei has grown dark; once shining skyscrapers now stand vacant, dilapidating everyday. The sims of Wallalei have noticed this (how could you not?) and are growing irate. How come the mayor let this happen? What did he not do to preserve the precious business of downtown Wallalei? Sims are demanding answers, and jobs! If things don't change soon (and they mean soon!) Mayor Lopez may be moving out of his mansion.

 

 

The former prominant skyline is now dominated by dilapidating skyscrapers.

 

IMPORTANT: This may come as bad news, but I feel I have lied to you guys because I forgot to tell you that I use the perfect path finding mod. Some of you may consider that cheating, but to me it makes it much more realistic. I have also recently installed the industrial quadrupler because I was tired of having my cities dominated by industrial zones and still not providing enough I jobs for my sims. I would like to apologize for my mistake of not telling you guys.

 

 

SNEAK PEEK:

Here is a preview of what is to come in Copacorales. Here is a picture of Grand Terajo Park in Mission Terajo.

[Chris M 406]

Interesting Update, I look forward to what happens to the sims. I like reading your little storeys for the different things around the city.

[jacqulina 162]

excellent update

[Mickebear 2]

Grand Terajo Park is one of the best of its kind that I have seen here in ST, congratulations!

[Superstar 69]

Nice work Xspiderman! Lovely CJ this is, keep it up

[djrules5454 5]

Nice CJ!  You might want to turn of the UDI indicators, because they make the pics even less realistic.

[Red Hawk 0]

great update! i want to see what the mayor is gonna do about all the vacant skyscrapers

[SpartanBadger 4]

SHINING, SHIMMERING, SPLENDOR?

The sky over downtown Wallalei is brighter and much more pleasing to look at. The CBD has come alive once more at night, with the newly rennovated towers glittering over downtown Wallalei. Mayor Lopez personally called up a friend of his who owns a major construction company and pulled a few strings to get his vacant buildings rennovated. It seems yet again, that Mayor Lopez always has the solution to every problem. The sims of Wallalei once again have a nearly 100% approval rating; their mayor can do no wrong! The former dilapidating Djoella Industries building and the Raysorra Unlimited Building have been cleared for re-entry with a shiny new look. Yelluzha Technologies though it would be best to move their building to the center of the CBD, tearing down the old tower in the southwest corner. The old Columbus Tower was torn down and moved to the southwest corner of the CBD, where it is now thriving among other new skyscrapers...but is this newfound splendor really splendid? Will it last?

 

The population has rocketed toward 260,000 sims with a few massive apartment buildings called the Kinzie Tower, courtesy of PDA Development and Planning. Other high rise apartment complexes have sprung up along the coast line aiding the population spike.

 

 

 

Despite the once-again rennovated skyline, there are still sims who remain leary of their mayor. According to one sim, How can a city go through so much change, especially in just a few decades. It seems buildings come and go like leaves in the wind. This building becomes abandoned, and then rennovated. I would like to see some permanent characteristics of this city, which I'm not sure Mayor Lopez can give me.

 

I'd like to leave you guys with a shot of Centennial Park in the western edge of Wallalei. Enjoy!
