Very good start. You're using a lot of nice working custom content, especially the one track railroads.

The river could use a bit more work. Maybe use some ploppable water instead of the peg ponds?

    Archean: Thank You. As of right now, the PEG Ponds are placeholders for when downtown is built. I was planning something else...38.gif

    Good work! That's a lot of open space there, perfect for more neighborhoods, maybe even a shopping center.

    You're doing a great job with the town so far, much better then a lot of others. Congrats!

    Cedar Creek Canal:

    Cedar Creek was experiencing increased shipping traffic, and some parts were becoming unnavigable.

    The Town hired engineers to build a canal in its place to increase capacity.

    (Using the CAN-AM)

    20193553.jpg


    Overview of the massive developments:

    2overview.jpg


    Those R$$$ sims flocked to the new, and apparently attractive canal, but the old JR/SR HS(Greyveil) was flooded with students, so the town built an fancy new high school in the new neighborhood, named Ward SR HS:

    3wardhighschool.jpg


    There wre also Shazzay new townhouses built along the canal, along with parks and ferry stations:

    97072853.jpg


    Remember the quaint little Cedar Creek Bridge...? Well here it is today, renamed the Eastbook road Bridge, sine this is

    no longer a creek:

    ATTACK OF THE SUBURBANITES:

    -Tesco

    -Steinmart

    -TJ Maxx n' more

    -Food Lion

    -Walmart

    -CostCo

    -Great Escape Cidemas

    -Courtyard Hotel(without the courtyard3.gif)

    -Cheescake Factory,Red Robin, Panera, the Cancer Place(MCDonald's), and Applebees, and more resauraunts

    -And SOOO many more!

    Nice CJ. I like all the trees surrounding the farms. I also like your use of curved roads and far. The commercial shopping centers along US-522 look great too.

    You're not from Virginia perhaps... US-17 and US-522 go through central VA!

    That makes sense... I think US-522 originates in PA, to the south it ends near Richmond, VA in Powhatan, if my memory is correct.

    Great CJ! I really enjoyed watching Cedarville grow from a small and quiet agricultural community into a prosperous industrial and commercial centre.

    This is an amazing start! So much realistic detail in everything from the farms, to Cedarville's new shopping center. But I especially like the way you set up the farms. Can't wait to see more!

    I really like that teaser shot, I love how the avenue divides into two one-ways. I also like that W2W area.

    Please tell me where you got that white W2W building next to the clock tower.
