The Brastoval Bay Area

[jessyka who? 1]

Very wonderful update! The city still looks great, but the layout keeps amazing me. Your getting very artistic now, and it all looks great! Nice job Alek.

[SkyTearer 10]

Wow this Cj is f-ing incredible. I truely have never seen one at anywhere near this level of detail. I am really speechless. All I CAN say is i'm really jealous . Oh and what's the name of the shore lots you use with the boats and reefs and all?

Cheers!

[hyped_up_boy 15]

awesome updates.  oh, i want to see a full region picture after you're done with the suburbs

[noname1029 0]

im left speechless.... great updates! 

just 1 question: have you seen any sim go from 1 side of the bay to the other?  that would be crazy commute time if they did...

[____----____ 37]

wow cool pictures... i like the last 1 the best.

noname1029  thanks for taking a liking to my cj and posting good to see you around

 

anybody have any ideas for my cj.  It is really losing steam and i am becoming quite un-inspired

i feel like people have had enough of seeing my tired old style so i might start doing some thing really different than i have in the past.

The thing that particulaly interests me here is the beach with the steps leading down to them, very nice.

[jacqulina 162]

your mosaic is awesome,yes i like the steps leading to the beach there was a beach in brighton that had that

[silentbreaker 6]

Hey AK!

Nice detail shots. Really realistic looking beaches.

And I've one question: How to hell do you get the plopable water under the bridges? I always get a gap there.

[Criquette 0]

Oh, that was a sweet update, Aleking!

And did you mention somewhere in your CJ where did you get the green railway texture mod?
Um, i better check it out

[dhoppeii 12]

All great pics, but that mosaic is one of the best yet.  I love all the color.

[noname1029 0]

u said somewhere eariler u wanted to do a port...

[____----____ 37]

your right and i am in the process of doing one now

 

i find them to be the hardest thing to do in the game cause they require so

much terraforming to get right. 

 

also people always post asking where i got certain buildings and i am terrible about

replying to those requests so......

 

those overhead rail things are impossilbe to find now but are soon to be obsolete

as i believe frogface is working on much better ones that will work with diagonals and such

or so i've been told

 

as for the grass rail textures they are from my favorite japanes BAT site by NOB

so much good stuff so browse and enjoy

also some wonderful buildings can be found at APTX's site

Great job!
I like this threeway avenue intersection. Looks cool somehow. Of course great job on that nice railway stration and thanks to put some pics of that great beach.


But this time I really LOVE the big mosaic about the Cobb Oceanic!!! Not only it is one of my all-time favourite highrises (hasn't Cobb done a great job with this???) but you putt it perfectly in the scene!

Congratulations! 99 out of 10 points for this mosaic!

Beautiful updates Aleking!! Love the beach, it looks so perfect it could pass for a MAXIS Plopable!

You where asking for some new ideas. First of all I think you've got a great CJ going on here! Wonderful work. I know it can get a bit dull at some stage and you might feel you've lost inspiration. I really hope you can find inspiration, because I love watching your updates! . Here are my 2cnts for all it's worth;

 

* huge airport with businesspark hotels, cargo/rail stations etc.

 

* less diagonal street layout; maybe more winding streets or using cul de sacs? It's just a preference of mine; but I could fully understand if you want to stick to diagonal. There is a great mod out on the stex for very pretty round-a-bouts!

 

* Town build on a bridge (sort of like the Ponte Vechio in Florence) where you have a 50 to 100 meter wide stretch of land over a river wich functions like a bridge but is also the complete town. (sorry for my poor explanation in English) Hope you get my vison on this one....

 

* small rural communities with sleepy town squares

 

Any sound good to you?

nice work i love your downtowns! They looks really good with different colours and heights of buildongs and the interesting road network and the great transition between City-suburb-farm

[Mikeaut1 261]

Great work ale! Definitely a great, organized city journal. Great work!!

[Traffic_Jam 0]

Outstanding work!

 

Nice job!  Keep it up!

[DuskTrooper 316]

Your bay area, or whateveris looking quite nice! Keep up the good work, etc.

[Darmok 34]

Surely a beautiful update!
Undoubtedly original!
Prime quality beaches!
Exceptional craftmanship in the mosaic!
Railway galore! (to Nardo's pleasure)
Bravo! for the great work!

Really good pics Alek! keep it up!

[Cjah 15]

I love that last picture!

That bat has always been my favorite and I don't think this C.j. is losing steam at all.

 

Great job and keep up the geat work!

[Ron Swanson 1]

WOW, a real unique and detailed journal indeed. Just one thing, what kind of texture are you using under your rail lines? It look s grassy, is it a terrain mod, or a texture mod? Please let me know, as this would help me out immensely. Anyways, good luck on the rest of this, I look foward to it!
