Very beautiful development.

May I ask you which RockMod you use?

DEL!

[De Ja Vu 117]

It's very beautiful and realistic! I like the hilly terrain and the way you planned out your town!

Keep up the good work!

wow ! Awesome Update !!

I would like to point out some of the awesome things:

First: Great Terraforming Skills. You made those hills look like so smooth that when the farms were built, they didn't have a kinda strange angle or edge. I gave you an A+ for that

Second: Details. You are getting better and better on perfecting your detail skills. You know how to zone and put parks around it. Awesome work and i love it !!

Finally: Transportation. Here i might have to say that you have good and not so good things. The train station looks awesome and the parking lot behind it makes it more realistic but i see that you don't use the NAM's Smooth curve transitions neither on the roads or rails. I think that could bring a little more of realism to the city

That's my opinion though. and yes i know ... working with wide radius curves is a bit hard but i know that you can do the best to make it look awesome .

Thanks for naming me your fan and have an Awesome day.

Hi Everyone,

Another week passed another update coming.

Last time I posted some picture about the downtown area and as I saw your comment you liked it. Todays update will be about the other part of the town and some other interestings. Hopw you will like it.

Replies:

Delecto: Thank you fro your kind words. I am using Missouri Breaks Terrain Mod and Pegs Rocks Mod but dont know which exactly one. When will be at home will check  it for you.

*UPDATE - Aubrac Rock Mod what I wanted to look after (I am sorry but I did not found on ST)

De Ja Vu: Thank you, my main goal is the realistic and the high detailed city. Hope both will be perfect one day. My special favourite is also the hilly terrain with vine farms. 

nyirog: mindig megmosolyogtat a kommented és kicsit el is pirulok t?le. Annyira azért szerintem még nem jó mint egyik másik CJ de azért próbálkozom.

Thank you for your kind words, I hope it will be better in future updates.

TmiguelT: Thank you for your honest comment.

First: the terraforming (good one) is a big pain and sweat but the results are worth it. Every terraforming knowledge is come from Darmok and Anduin valley Revisited CJ. This CJ is my bible. I learnt a lot from it, and I love browsing it every time.

Second: As I mentioned it for De Ja Vu, I love the detailed and realistic cities, and every time I planning and creating city I am trying to reach a higher level. Sometimes succseed sometimes not. And if somebody love it, than I think it should well.

Finally: You have absolutely right about transportation things. It is the hardest work planning and creating realistic citis. I also like the NAM's curves and the realism of smooth curves, but I have a big problem with them. When I put lots near them there are no surrounding textures and they looks ugly. And many tricks need to hide these problem. But in the future update I will use them more recently.

UPDATE 4

This are where the modern part of the town will building

The Drive-in cinema is good for young couples.

A small police station behind the trees and an underpass

Ther will be a big commercial building take place

Final result

A small pond near the future established football field

Adding some deatil to the area

Another view

This will be a good place for some smaller commercial developments

Underpass and Office Works from another view

An office works

A Ford dealership (under construction)

Near the oil refinery there is a huge freight train station and and industrial area

The industrial area are developing

That is all for now.

[Keegan V50 15]

Great update there!!,awesome pictures of your cities and towns here,i do recommend you to add more varieties to your oil storage tanks made by Mathe Man Of SFBT to add more realism!!

all the best

victor

[DCMetro34 576]

Nice update! It is very interesting watching people build their CJs in front of your eyes.

[Mayorm 14]

wow I love the industrial area (never thought I would comment on an industrial area before) but anyway I love could you tell me where you got the mobile oil tanks.

[TmiguelT 10]

What an Awesome Update !! You outdone yourself this time my friend.

First: You are industrial area looks very realistic and dirty (dirty = good). Those pipes and freight station seal the deal on the dirty look .

Second: The Ford dealership looks awesome but it needs some detail around it ... I know that you are still working on that area so i can forgive you for this one

Third: I see more improvement on your transportation network. Great use of the FLUPS and your rail network looks splendid

Fourth: I love the transition from the lake to the River/Ocean. I would love to see a close up of that area .

Fifth: I think this list is getting too long ... Where did you get that office building? It looks awesome. The detail around that building looks splendid . The final result looks splendid .

Finally: Thanks for replying my last comment ... i know, it was too long but i gotta make my voice heard

[SounderBruce 173]

Glad to see the RVP back in action! Where did you find the Ford dealership?

[ironicepitome 0]

oh my god its as if the lord himself took a leak on ur city and it turned into pure gold!

[Larks2242 251]

Great update, cool industral shots!

[Norby(ToG) 6]

It is a quick reply for my all time commenter TmiguelT. He requested a detaild picture from the river transition.

So I decided to do a 'big' mosaic picture from it and will show those office building Kensington place.

I hope you will like it.

Will back soon with some new pics. But I have to hurry now, my wife is waiting for me.

Bye

[dfnva 34]

Nice stuff... I like the small towns and how you convincingly have the peg stream empty into 'real' water.

-Dan

[TmiguelT 10]

Wow. Thank you !! That was an awesome shot. Thanks for the link as well but now i'm really interested in that Ford Dealership

[DITRO 15]

whoa, nice!

[Norby(ToG) 6]

It is a quick reply.

I want to wish you a Marry Christmas for ever for every Simtropolis viewer and CJ commenter.

Marry  Christmas

[SounderBruce 173]

LOL...nice mosaic and story!

[Norby(ToG) 6]

Welcome,

RVP is back again, and gives you some more, and hope, interesting pictures. Hope you will like

it, and will commenting manys.

But first of all, the replies:

Victor Valdes: Thank you for your kind words and your advise. Tell you the truth, I have got

those storage tanks from Mathe Man, and when I built Plainview I tried it to place somewhere.

But unfortunatelly they were too big in size but not too tall. And they not matched to the

other industrial stuff. That is why I skipped those tanks. Maybe next time.

DCMetro34: Thank you, but this city is built 6 month before, so it is already finished (this

is not exactly true but you and all CJ reader will know why ).

Mayorm: Thank you for your kind word, I also like the industrial sector, and I think this part

of the town is not bad. Here is the storage tank you look for 

TmiguelT: Thank you my friend, I always touched by your kind words, thank you.

First: As I said before I also love huge industrial areas, so in the near future you can count

more of them. I also love dirty, unfortunatelly they are producing lot of pollution. :S

Second: The Ford dealership is a piece of art, an amazing lot, but unfortunatelly it wont

acting in this update, maybe the next. But I promise you I will create a big mosaic from it.

Just for you, and of course to the other visitors also.

Third: Yep, I love planning and making realistic transportation networks. This is the first

thing I love this game.

Fourth: Done

Fifth: Done, btw thanks.

Finally: It is obvious to replying evry comment, if it is longer than "usual". Never say sorry

if your comment is long(er), I love every words you write down, so keep up your long comments

my friend.

ComputerGuy890100: Thank you for your kind words. RVP is always in action

Here are the link of Ford dealership

ironicepitome: Thank you for your kind word, and welcome in RVP.

Larks2242: Thank you, and congratulation for your Trixie award.

[willfish 0]

great job , nice attention to detail

[naftixe 131]

Nice work on your smoothing techniques. I personally use a combination of the Softing tool in God mode, 8 10 12 15 24 lifters and lowers, single street method, and using highways to smooth out. But it looks as if you have it down your way. Good to go!

[TmiguelT 10]

wow !! Another stupendous update !!

I would love to give you another long comment, but this one would be even longer than the other ones ...

I will just say few things ...

First: Merry Christmas ( even though it is quite late)

Second: Great choice of putting the Tesco superstore . The city really need it

Third: I love the details on the new expansion

Fourth I would love to see the tile finish ...

i'll stop for now and see you on the next update

[Norby(ToG) 6]

Hello Guys,

Sorry for the long delay but now RVP back in action again.

Dont waste our times with chit-chatting, but pure pictures.

But first, thanks the commenters willfish, natfix and TmiguelT for their efforts in last time to put some words here.

UPDATE 6

As you could see on the last picture on previous update, there was a big unused terrain, so here we can work in the future. First the oil pipline running through.

Across the river, here are a technick how would both sides in same height

Oil fields and many more

An apple farm and and a greenhouse

Trash processing plant

Near the ford dealership there are a McDonald's and a gas station

Small community around the fishing deck

That is for now, see you soon,

Bye

[Mr. Cortez 11]

It has a nice suburban look.

Great!

[jacqulina 162]

very nice work so far my friend,looking great.

[heitomat 156]

Your work is amazing! I really like your planning style; everything seem to be thought of, like you have a master plan when you start building. I like it! Also, you seem to have transit enabled many of the lots you are using - and with great results, if I may say so. Keep up the good work!  

[TmiguelT 10]

I'm astonished by all your work !!

You Rock dude !! Should i do the list? should i? ... Oh heck yeah !! i will

First: Welcome back !! Funny story.. Last week i was checking your CJ and wondering on when will you come back... One week later.. you came out of the shadows and brought us a Masterpiece .

Second: I love all the pictures but i miss some of the Chit-chat ..

Third: I love your dirty industrial area but i want to add one suggestion.. If you want to do a full "dirty look", do not put a farm right in the middle. It kinda takes out that whole dirty industry effect.

Forth: Great work on the surroundings of the Ford Dealership and great use of the Diagonal fillers!! Now the whole image looks more smooth

Fifth: I like very much the Hotel on the Top of the hill and the "river observation" place !! Looks awesome. Another quick suggestion.. mix some trees.. C.P has a great selection .

Last: One again, I'm glad to see you back on the CJ'ing world and keep those updates coming

[Simbourgeois 139]

Very nice updates! It's great to see the development of the site from the very beginning of the planning to a beautifully scenic places!

Keep up the great work!

Best regards,

Simbourgeois

Mayor of Belleville

P.S. Haha that Peg's garbage utility always makes me laugh

[Mr. Beer 12]

Wonderful LOTing here!!! Love the hotel, very well done!

Take care and keep it up!
