    Thanks for letting me know.

    What are some good free image hosting sites? I should have the CJ back to normal by tomorrow.

    Imgur would work; that's what I use. There is also Majhost which has a pretty plain and simple, no-nonsense look to it.

    I use Dropbox and Flickr for my photos, but they require a little bit more organization to use properly.

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. While I work that out, here are some more shots from Ferrum City

    Dear sir/madam/whoever will read this!

    This profile is now defunct.

    Computer problems and issues with accessing my Imageshack account meant My SC4 CJ Scrapbook was lost and utterly irretrievable. This setback put me off SC4 for many months.

    Apologies for the inconvenience and for the lost pictures.

    But that SC4 itch did not go away and it had to be scratched! I have started afresh with a new account here- The British Sausage

    The URS is a spiritual successor to the SC4 CJ Scrapbook.

    With this update this will be the last time I visit my original Simtropolis account- admin/mods feel free to remove it or do whatever you need to do. I have no further use for the Ln X (BLANKBLANK) account.

    I don't normally do before and after shots, but I know some people like them. I think it'll be neat to see how the area fills up.

     

    Here is Ferrum City in the winter. Still a work in progress, but progress shots will be shown along the way.

    This looks really promising. It will be interesting to see how you grow the CBD and what your final implementation of the industrial area will be.

    packersfan - Highways have always been a problem for me in SC4. I tried to use RHW and the Maxis ones, but the texture problems were just not worth it IMO.

    jmsepe - Thanks!

    MushyMushy - Most of Mattb325's stuff is from the LEX on SC4D,

    Sabretooth78 - Yep, all true, thanks!

    Belfastsocrates - Thanks!

    TekindusT - Glad you think so, thanks!

    freemunchies - Thanks for the bad news!

    packersfan - That's what I am now using, thanks!

    Compdude787 - Thanks, I'll look into Majhost.

    APSMS - Thanks, I'll probably use Flickr later on.

    tonyr - Thanks!

    Ln X - Glad you like them!

    TekindusT - Just wait until I finish the area!

    Ln X - Thanks! I'm still wondering what it will look like too :P

    tankmank - Thanks, me neither!

    packersfan - Sorry, it's a habit. Thanks!

     

     

    I have a few days off from work and school this weekend, so I should get a lot of the downtown area done, and show it off soon!

    Nice images. I am not really a fan of tall buildings but the mixtures of the ones you used is good. I also like how you made an embankment under the bridge, how is that possible? Plus, I like the night shot with Aon and the rest.

    Very nice night shot! Can't wait to see the completed downtown.

     

    But I must ask do you sharpen the image because my night shots if I took a night shot it would look like 1080p while yours look like 4K.

    He might have done a mosaic, stitching several images together to create one really large image.

    jmsepe - This is the tallest I've ever built a city. I usually don't like anything too tall. And the seawalls have overhang lots so I can place reserved tiles on/over them. Thanks for stopping by!

    coolwiththecool2 - Thanks! I play at a very high resolution, then sharpen them. I also mess around with different zoom levels and custom resolutions to get the desired affect. 

    Compdude787 - Yes, I do love me some mosaics. They help with showing more detail IMO.

     

    The city is coming along pretty well, I am having some problems getting the sims to find some jobs, so I'll have to work around dilapidated buildings for now.

     

    One shot from Ferrum City, one from King's Fork.

    Here are some more shots from Ferrum City. I really like how it's turning out. I've added a few more bridges, and a lot of residential and commercial areas. 

     

    I plan on posting most of the progress shots in one update, hopefully within a week.
