    just a quick update today to fill u lot in what progress i have done. This is going to be more of a habour than a port, due to the amount of room i have available and the fact i dont have the right BAT's for an industrial port, so here we are. Baskingville Commercial Harbour (BCH).

    pic16dh.jpg

    Any improvements you think i could do, pls let me know of your ideas. Now we have a night view, and i gota say, i love it 5.gif.

    pic154uk.jpg

    I know it doesnt look bright, but it is in the game, fo those that dont have the BAT the light continuously turn round like lots of mini lighthouses.

    and here is what it looks like atm.

    pic24ch.jpg

    A wierd thing is that about 5000 or so busses travel from somewhere over in confluential all the way along the highway to this harbour17.gifi just think its quite amusing.

    and here is just a bit north of the harbour, i'm thinking of going into med-res but not sure how to make the transition yet, any ideas are welcome.

    pic32in.jpg

    Thats all for now, for the next update i will try and have something big for you.

    wow, loooks awesome, but i think you did that last time rail a bit to much. still looks good though.

    tip=> use buddybuds underbridge props, those 'rail' bridgeprops to for your road/avebridge, this will look much better. there are to lots that will cover the land beneath the onramps, cuz it is now gras :S

    good luck

    with his latest ones that jeronij brought out, are very good, but arnt all that good mainly due to the underbridge ones where u need to have a certain road layout to be able to have it, like it has a straight road which it has to be placed on 3 squares away, anyway, new update comin up

    Great to see this CJ back smirk.

    Unique transportation layout there. Really creative and Very aesthetic. I think I've never seen such beautiful highways. The twists and turns in your roads and rail is very interesting. Great use of NAM puzzle pieces.

    Btw, the marina area looks quite original.

    Keep it up.

    Nice to see you back commenting on it philscafe, now down to buisness. Most of you all may remember a while back i had lost half of what i had down on riverbasin, that includes, half of Yamamoto, the whole of Rickennington (such a shame) and part of baskingville, well got some good news. I have begun the reconstruction at last!!!!!! 9.gif. for this update u will be seeing yamamoto, and what i have done to start rebuilding it. It will take on the basic shape it was before, but with a few improvements using the things i've learned since then.

    Thatmonkeysim: Thats whats so good about me really, i tend to make everything i make up from scratch, it just naturally comes to me 4.gif. and no i'm not big headed. but there is 1 thing that i lack, well i should say, hinders me. I was recently looking at a CJ, cant remember who, and i looked and thought to myself. Thats what i'm doing wrong, and thats always having a need to build right up to the coastline. you can see in all my latest cities, i've taken over the shoreline, and maybe if i stop doing that, it will make it more realistic.

    Just felt like saying that.

    phew, most comments i've got in ages.

    Jeeper767: Thnx for ur comment, come back soon.

    Fabiocb: welcome to river basin, i've learnt that my sims get a special offer, buy 1 el rail line, get another for the same price.

    Jacqulina: welcome to my cj, if u been here before, nvm welcome anyway, not sure about my pics being fantastic (blushes), they could really do with some graphics, sadly i dont know how to use photoshop.

    Sloppet: thanx for ur rivetting comments again, keep em coming 4.gif

    i do my best darmok, i do my best. I really like to make massive, well large transportation networks, one of the best things about city bulding is its veins/arteries. havent done much lately, been working on getting my room redecorated so i only got 1 pic. Its not of the actual city, but a little something that happened when i was testing out something on that little island in yamamoto.

    yamamoto16nov3911447683728af.jpg

    This is what i call the big dipper.

    Thnx for ur comments guys, apreciated, those el-rail had been around for a while, it was just deleted when i reformatted as u will find in previous pages of this cj.

    Now for a small update, not finding alot of harbour lots and bats that would be useful, so i'm just gona do it with what i got.

    Here we have where part of the new industrial port will be built, something to ease the rapid growth of river basin's industry, giving it a new outlet for its goods.

    update59ac.jpg

    Thats one half of the port, now to gouge it out.

    pic23sh.jpg

    Add some bridges and CDK.

    pic32zv.jpg

    Now for some trees and buildings.

    pic43te.jpg

    And here is where i got upto at the moment.

    lastpic6qm.jpg

    Updates will come slowly to allow for more comments to be placed.
