Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a cajun taste!

[Cjah 15]

Extremly awesome and of course realistic!

This is the stuff that legends are made of and I hope this CJ gets even better!

[Fabiocb 1]

really great update as usual we can see your effort to make the best.

[ThomasAH 0]

This looks amazing! I think it is really realistic and I like the use of the one way road as a highway

To Cjah: Thanks a lot! But the region is done, maybe some new pictures.

To Fabiocb: As usual, thanks

To ThomasAH: Thanks, now I'm trying to use avenues as four-lane freeway, one for the realism and the eye-candy and second, with the NAM it's difficult that the one-way roads works correctely...we'll see, I'm testing this method.
Thanks for your comment.

Great pictures Mr. Beer. I especially like Scotlandsville's Downtown. It looks just like those small town town centers from the movies. Great job my friend.

Also great job with those petroichemical complexes.

And sorry for not posting more often. I haven't been around here that much lately (we had carnival...)

Take care.

Great job once again on your last picture update. What I love about your CJ is your use of one way roads as the highway; these highways are always the first thing to catch my attention when it comes onto my screen. If their not in the picture, I look at your use of buildings and the layout of the roads. Keep up the awesome job!

[Mikeaut1 261]

Great update! In my opinion this is one of the best city journals here. You have some great region and lotwork skills. Very nice work!

[profecy 2]

great update mr. beer, i love ur work, ur highways, r unique, they way u did it,  i like the oil fields 2, keep up the great job dude....

[Nardo69 51]

Great update! You do have a great hand of layouting these huge indutsrial areas! I love how you put the railway tracks in there (and as you may know I LOVE RAILWAYS!)

Great work also with that mall and its huge parking lot. I guess whenever ?t coems to create such areas I am a bit too stingy with using space for parking lotrs ...

To PhilsCafe: Thanks Phil! It doesn't matter if you don't come more often. Its carnival time! On Vaud (Waadt) we don't have carnival...but so. I hope you have enjoyed!

To cityhawk: Thanks! Shadow_Assassin do a great work to with one-way roads on his Savannah Way CJ...Thanks to your comment.

To Mikeaut1: Thanks. I did a lot of LOT...I must to delete some of them I don't use. Cheers

To profecy: Thanks! I'm sur you will do the same work on Toronto! Especialy on highways and on the suburbs. It would be promising!

To Nardoo69: Oh, I need to upgrade my skill on railyards, but thanks to comment. I use parks that I modify on the LotEditor and recently I've modified PEG's transit enabled backways to make a lot of carparks. I'm surprised that we have only one real mall (one by Simgoober) It would be great to enhance this category of building!

Thanks a lot!

Hmmmmmm niiiiice city!.... verrrrryyyy nice...indeeeeed... I think I might just take up residence in one of them-there tanks over on the Unocol Plant site.   I got this "thang" for storage tanks.. I could use an upgrade oonce i get out of the slammer!!!

..Seriously... this is a really nice city.. thumbs UP

[Simm.E.Terry 0]

Dagg Dangit I sent a response but I guess dah Warden's checking all my smack!  I "sayed"  that your city looks down right nice.. I think I just might set up residence over in the Unocol Plant (inside one of them hi teck tanks... I git this thang for tanks!  check out www.ricographics.net for my lifes long hangups with tanks.  ..

Meantime. this is a really nice city.. .seriously.

[SimRico 968]

Hey Simm E. Terry you old hoot! the site has been moved to another location.. But Baton Roooge DOes seem like a very appealing place.. Id live there

[jacqulina 162]

There's something odd about that mall: you can't get out the front parking lot.

Looks good, though. The highway interchange is quite good. Er, I'm from Australia, and they have so many of those divided freeways here.

EDIT: Jeez, stupid line breaks don't work.

[Mr. Beer 12]

UPDATE


Here is a little update with night pictures I forgot to upload...

To Simm.E.Terry: thanks for your comment, but I didn't understood the story with the tanks...(my english level is not terrible)...

To SimRico: Thanks

To jacqulina: Oh! I'm happy to see you back here! Thanks for your post!

To Shadow_Assassin: Yes, I did some tour with Google Earth in Australia! Very nice freeway system as i have seen! Northern Amercia, Australia and South Africa have this type of large median. In some italian, french and british freeway, you find this type of freeway too but they are unusual. Victoria Bitter and Foster's are two excellent beer!






Cheers!

Nice pictures. I like your roadlayout and especially those mainroads looks really cool. Looking forward to next great update.

[Fabiocb 1]

awesome man, it looks so real that it seems like we are flying over your city, and your macro planning is just great, what sometimes is not so easy to do on SC4.

keep on the awesome work man.

[jeeper 14]

This is an amazing CJ. I love everything about, especially the way you setup the industrial areas.

This will be the first CJ I've subscribed to in my 3 years at Simtropolis.

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Ah, these last two look brilliant...

I need to fix my street lights. They don't appear anymore.

Brilliantly done as always.

[cityhawk 12]

The night pics look awesome, Mr. Beer! The way you designed the roads and developed areas make these shots look great from above, which, as already mentioned, can be difficult.

This is my 100th Post,which I proudly place in one of my favorite CJ's!

PARTY!

Yes, the test are good, but before to start the CJ, I'll make two or three cities before!
I did some ploppable farm houses, new parking lots...So, I'm afraid to say that, but it was the last pictures of my region! I can do some new ones if you want! 

REPLIES


To Sisu: Thanks!

To FabioCB: Thanks! I'm asking if they are not a possibility to have a night overview of the entire region...It would be fun!

To jeeper767: What an honour for me! Thanks! All of my industrials are ploppable lots with jobs, so they looks like large warehouse and for particular industry (petrochemical, steel, ...) I use a family of lot, some of them with jobs and others ploppable like parks (so they needn't to have a road connection).

To Shadow_Assassin: Thanks my australian friend! Not easy, yes... but after two or three cities, you take the habits...but sometimes, I must to re-make the city, to redraw the networks...Thanks again!

To cityhawk: Congratulations for you 100th post! ! Thanks for your post!

Great night pics my confederate friend .

That area looks great with all these small, illuminated spots.

Excellent job.

[Nardo69 51]

I have to agree with Phil, it looks great, just like when you look out of a plane's windows at night about two minutes before its wheels hit the ground!

To bat: Thanks!

to PhilsCafe: Amazing for a welsch, uh? Thanks, I use ploppable spot that I place along the avenues and the freeways. But its extremely long to make...the original light don't appear very good when I zoom out, so I use these custom ploppable.
Take care.

To Nardo69: Thanks my friend! Two month before the FIFA world's cup! Did you plane to go in Germany throught summer?

Thanks to all!
Cheers,
Mr. Beer

wonderfull night pics fantastic work

[Fabiocb 1]

@ Mr Beer

yes, man that would be awesome, I hope on SC5 they will improve the game a lot, but on SC4 I don't this this is possible.

Fabio

[Mr. Beer 12]

REPLIES

At jacqulina: Thanks a lot!

At Fabiocb: I hope that SC5 would be more realistic and offers more option (climate, upgradable highways, etc...)
Gosh, I saw Soulfly yesterday in Fribourg, amazing brazilian band!!!

URBAN SPRAWL TEST

Wonderful! I've created some cool ploppable homes for a sprawl-like effect that arec completely functionnable, using originals lot from 6459978!
Heach homes comes with 8R$$ but the problems is that the commute time is too long and the population decreases rapidly...
But here are some pictures!





I hope you like it.
Due to the new academic semester and the uncoming work, the future CJ of Omaha will come maybe later, in a few weeks.
Sorry for the unconvenience.
