River Valley Project - RVP

[Norby(ToG) 6]

Welcome in River Valley Project

(I am sorry guys but my previous nickname became unusable, so i had to restart my CJ with the new one)

This will be my first CJ where I will try to do an entire region, so I hope it will be a long process. Please be a little patience at time, i will posting as much as possible.

First of all, i would like to thank Big Master Darmok, who inspired me all the time when I opening AVR CJ. It is absolutely amazing work. Second, to all the modders and batters in Simtropolis and many other SC4 developing sites,  who made many beautiful things (plugins) it is now THANK YOU!!!

And third, sorry for my english, it is not my native language, but I will try to writing as good as I can.

---------------

I am using SimCity 4 Deluxe edition with 638 update and many spectacular plugin, such as NAM (which is absolutely amazing work) and so much custom bat and lots that my computer able to handle. (On some photos you can see that i am using hungarian SC4, which is officially not exist in hungarian edition, but me and some other fans translated it.)

Here is the River Valley Region from satellite view

As you can see I will have to work a lot with river bands and costlines in the future. (Terraforming!!!)

The first city will be a small community in the middle of nowhere. They are the pioneers, they will start a small city mostly biulding farms and small houses. A typically rural town.

Please welcome City of New Beginning (handy name )

Update 1

Look at this beautiful land running through by rivers. Our pioneers sattled down here, and start to build a small town immediately.

First a cole mine which will come handy in the future train project

And another one which is ore mine

And some streets to it

Bridges

Mines start to develop

That is for now. I will update tomorrow, hope so.

Thank you for your attention, bye for now.

And dont forget every comment are welcomed.

[kingdiz_55 12]

I have a little suggestion though. The CJ would look better of you removed the grid. You can do so by pressing the "G" key while in game.

[_marsh_ 1,117]

WOW! Asome CJ!!

Just wondering, in the 5th pic of the 1st update, wered u get those streets from?

P.S. it sucks that u lost ur account, that happened to me on SCDevotion

Keep up the great work!

[jacqulina 162]

great start and intro my friend,great farming areas.

[Kodlovag 18]

Wow

Very nice rural area. Keep up the good work.

[Teeparex 6]

I like what you've done so far, it all looks wonderful. I like what you've done with the farms especially.

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Fantastic region!  Cities in the middle of nowhere are always fun.  Your english is great btw.  I like the terrain mod (lovely and green) but turn off the grid for pictures - press G, I think that should do it.  Great building, I like seeing how you start the city.  Also love your farms, and the little town, very picturesque. 

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good! I suggest you take pictures when the game isn't paused, so the pause border doesn't show up. Nice farms and forests!

[nyirog 0]

Nice and great job , keep moving

Hello CJ makers,

_marsh_: The mod you look for is Tar Sealed Country Streets mod. I dont use it anymore because there were some problem with it and looked really strange. Instead of I am using SAM (The really cool Street addon Mod). You can download from SC4devotion website, as i know. Thank you for your kind world, I will do my best.

jacqulina: It is really an honour that such a talent CJer put an admire comment into my humble CJ. I am tuched. Thank you my friend.

Teeparex: I also like those little farms and the rural atmosphere. Thank you for your kind words. I hope you will like the next ones.

BlondeTwiggy: Thanks again your admire comment. I also like small towns, so you can count of them in the future .

TmiguelT: Thank you for your kind word, I also like rural towns so I decided to create some special and organized ones. These agricultural areas are beautiful.

Kodlovag: Thanks my friend i did as hard as i can but you are more talented, so I dont understand why dont you create an own CJ with your beautiful cities. Here is the link you are loked for: JeroniJ Concrete Diagonal Walls V2

selles: Thank you for your kindness, i really apreciate the compliment.

Lalginho: thanks for your short comment, I like it too.

UPDATE 4

A lonely and old barn amongst big farms

I like the flat terrain so i did some terraforming (not too much)

And here is the new lemon farm

A water tower is necessary in the agricultural area

Another farm, I wonder what will develope

Hmm nothing "interesting"

More farms

And a final view from farm area

Near the freight station two wind power plant built, power is needed

Not so far a fire station and a passenger train station is built

This will be the final big project in this area. The town had a a lot of income tax from mines and other rich guys so they decided to renovate an old castle

And creating a tourist trap around

A hotel start to develope near the big parking place

Hot springs and hunting what else we need for? 

We need a few miles forest trails

Meanwhile the castle is ready to visitors

Do we need more mountain trails?

Sure

Resting place for hikers, phase one the terraforming

Phase two: shops, WC-s, parking places

A far view

Hunters cabin

A final overview

And another one

And here is the last one

And a bonus picture for emos

That is all. This is the end of New Beginning. Next time we will visit Timberland. I hope you will like it.

[Z1x2c3v4b5 0]

good city.

[buildsolid 4]

Wow that is beautiful!! cannot fault you on any of your works, keep up this beautiful cj.

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

6/08 : Excellent update, I like seeing how you work.  Very clean and neat.  I love what you did at the water's edge (for some reason, I can never get my shores to look right).  Oh, and love how you did your trees.  I've been having tree problems as well so I'm looking for inspiration. 

6/16 : Wow, I love how you do your farms too!  Surrounded by trees, and a house in the middle.  WOW!!  The second-to-last pic, the overview, is my favorite.  Lol, why is the last one a picture for emos?  Well, you have inspired me to go play some more, good job. 

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

wow, when I opened this CJ I got bombarded with like a thousand pics. They're all beautifull, I really like the region view in your first post as well as your farms and rural places. Fantastic CJ so far!

[TmiguelT 10]

wow Loving your last update my friend!!

Pretty well organized farms and the surroundings near the castle are just stunningly beautiful!!! i was breaking my head to do the same. Great use of PEG'S camping/trail pieces.

Keep up the awesome job that you are doing .

[mayorbk 66]

I love the calming rural feel to your city, keep up the great work

[Mayorm 14]

Very nice rural seting, keep it up.

[Norby(ToG) 6]

Hi Guys,

Here I am again, I am back with a brand new city named Timberland as I mentioned before. But first I have to answer for commenters.

So here are some answer:

nyirog: Hello my friend and thanks the comment. I really appreciate your kind words, without your encourage I never start this CJ. Thank you. (Csinálom ám a magyarítást gözerövel)

citybuilder12: Thank you and welcome here in River Valley, I hope you enjoy your stay and foun some really intresting in my work.

builsolid: You are very kind, I do my best in the future, thanks, you are very kind.

BlondeTwiggy: Welcome back in my CJ, In the beginning I had some problem with shorelines and the sides of the agricultural zones. But trees hide every little problems, and I found some very good and useable tree forms (thanks to Jeronij, Pegazus, and many more). I just plant them and they grows like a mushroom.

On the last picture there is a lonely place far from everytrhing, and emos like loneliness, that is why i dedicate this last picure for them. Btw it looks good also but now I did some things different. For example, more flora in the costline and different trail for the fisher cabin. Do not forget I did this city and screenshots five months ago, and didnt want to change nothing. You can see how I improve and change my style.

PetrovarAmbassador: Welcome in my CJ and thank for your kind word. I started to count the pictures I uploaded and nearly a hundrid, which is really amazed me too. I think this is the only way how I can show my city detailed. I hope you will stay and enjoy my next city, and comments there too.

TmiguelT: Yeah I love those castle pics too, I think the idea was good and I manage pretty well. PEG's pieces just perfect so didnt hard to work with them. I love them too. Thanks for your comment, and don't forget come back any time you want.

And guys mayorbk, Mayorm, A19999999: thank you for your kind words, I hope you will come back and and love what you will find here. Thanks.

Please welcome city of Timberland (another handy name)

Update 1

The Relief

Road and train connection to New Beginning

Planning and creating railways, and road networks

Some terraforming for the upcoming city and industrial area

Maybe you asked yourself why the city name Timberland, when you look at this picture I think you can find the answer

Some logging road to the rural power plant and railroad

A trainstaion is the first in the life of a town
