joshriddle: Thanks, and to think all I used to make the rivers were the terriformer.

Schulmanator: Thanks sir!

DCMetro34: Same thing, thanks sir.

kj3400: The fold? And thanks!

nathanthemayor: I know, but I enjoy seeing the popuation rise so fast!

Here is a dedicated CJ post just for New Chanlor, I even got better pictures this time!

First, here are the two Sports Fields that are used, one is already in use and one will be used in 2011!

Here's the Tennis Arena. It's been used quite a few times. And once Shayden's very own

Lisa Hoff won here, she won 5-3.

Here is Miners Memorial Park. It is currently not used, but in 2011 we plan on using it for

the New Chanlor Slammers.

Now here is some pictures of our Seaport and Marina:

Here's our seaport. It helps us alot with trade, and without it we wouldn't have as much cash as we do today!

Here is the marina. A lot of the tourists visiting New Chanlor love getting on the boats to

take a tour on our majestic waters!

Finally here is a picture of part of our airport:

It really helps us with commercial buissness. It's often heavily used and we had to rebuild it to increase the capacity

it- twice!

Well there you go for now, please post a reponse and tell me what you think of the pictures. I plan on soon making a CJ post for all of my cities. Goodbye for now!

You are really starting to get the hang of custom content I see. Also where did you get those sidewalks? I would like to give them a try...

First a Newspaper:

Yes I do admit my last name is Smith. But I only admitted that because there are tons of Smith's in the world. So there's not much of a way to finding out who I am.

Mendanhall: The first Maxis Free City

Mendanhall is now the first city to have used the No-Maxis Mod on it's entire development. So instead of a mix like I first wanted. I downloaded alot of cooler looking buildings and used them. Now I will show you the city and see what you think of it. By the way, like the top banner? Made it on Paint.Net, I like the looks of it. I tried putting text on it but it just didn't look right. It's a picture of Thanz River (the river that goes through Shayden) First here is a region view of Shayden to Show how development has gone along, and to show the Rivers so it won't be so confusing:

Otherwise saying if you can't see this:

R   Wile River (Red)

R   Northbrook River  (Yellow)

     Thanz River (White)

Now for the pictures of Mendanhall like said, it's the first Maxis Free city (except for a Mayor House that I still need to tear down, and a Church but I haven't found any good churches yet) See here they are:

A nice little apartment, right on Harold Street

One of our farms. Right Above the farm is a High-Tech

facility.

Another High Tech Facility. This facility is reserching

for a V3 to the Air Cleaning Plants

Just a refresh:

Air Purifier v1, somewhat useful but v2 does twice          The v2 of the Air Purifier Series. It cleans up alot of

as much.                                                                    pollution up. So it will be very hard to find a v3 that

                                                                                  does more then what v2 already does.

a

While were on this subject here is Northbrook Mansion. It's owned by the man who

made the Air Purifiers, his name is Ronald Peterson.

This is the Mayors house. It's a really comfy place and I like it even more then the

other Mayor Houses, not only because it's not Maxis made. But it's a great place

to rest in.

Some houses at night. It's a silent night tonight.

                                      

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Right now Imageshack is being stupid and won't upload anymore pictures, so once I get it to work I'll post some more if you'd like, or now just say what you think of it.

[Schulmanator 5,812]

Looking good - and I like the new banner. I use paintnet too.

Schulmantor: Thanks. It's a really good tool for picture making.

Glendale Airport (First Custom Airport)

Well I just made a new Airport in Orlean (a Shayden city) and I want to see what you guys think of it. Critism is begged for and comments are appreciated.

Glendale Airport. Sorry for the bad picture, but it's too big to make the picture any smaller.

Glendale Parking lot. The Parking Garage is for the customers and the regular parking lot are for the employees. I know the jet (Red white and Blue one Facing the wrong way) Needs to be fixed, I will when I get on SimCity 4 next time.

The Enterance. Here you enter into the Airport, go through the Medal Detecters Etc.

The Concoarse. When you go to your plane you go into these hall ways and walk out to the fences area, followed by boarding your plane.

Terminal where some of the Airplanes are held in.

That's it for now.

Like said, tell me anything that is wrong with the Airport. I have no idea how it should be so if there is anything wrong with it tell me and I'll fix it.

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Nice airport!. However, some of the planes look too close to each other and the jetways are supposed to conncect with the terminal, or else the sims can't really get to the planes.

[Schulmanator 5,812]

Nice airport... it looks a bit crowded but looking good

[Follarch 327]

For these big modular things, it's best to look at other examples for help before building your own. You're more than welcome to use my airport as an example. (there's an image in my Follomer 2 thread) or go online or on google earth and study some real world airports. You'll get the hang of it quickly.

Very good first attempt!

[Mayorm 14]

Wonderful airport. I think it does look a bit small but still very nice

nathanthemayor: I'm hoping I got those fixed, thanks.

Schulmanator: Thanks. I got a new airport made. Hope it's ok.

Archean: I did. It helped me quite a bit, thanks for letting me use it for reference.

Mayorm: Yeah. I enlarged the airport and did a lot of work to fix it up. Thanks for your advice.

Here is the new Glendale Airport:

The new airport, hows it look?

The Terminal. I didn't make this. I found it in a pack and used it.

The Apron, Taxiway, Ramp, the Runaway, and some hangers. On the right are security and a Fire station in case a fire breaks

out.

The Control Center

The Long Term Parking Lot

The Short Term Parking Lot.

So anything else wrong? I hope it's fixed up now. I went through 3 hours and §747,932. Good thing I have the money plants. ^^

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Looking better!The runway looks weird the fact that it ends in the middle of nowhere. i suggest looking at some custom airport videos on youtube.

[zahrul3 472]

Very awkward, look at the Show us your airport.... Part 2 thread, you can find examples of good airports. ACE-VLT is reccomended since you can have 747s and it doesnt cost enourmous money. Theyre just puzzle pieces anyway, you need to connect them the correct way. Experiment a bit, it's worth it!

[StanislavSoltys 47]

It's better, I'd recommend looking at other people's airports. I recommend just search "airport" on the STEX and download whatever looks nice, remember the dependencies though.

[Evillions 552]

Nice try at making airports! Trust me, I still have difficulty making airports especially the runway part! Here's a list of suggestions that you should take in:

-The runways need indicators, blastpads, landing, and takeoff indicators.

-You should use the latest edition of custom airport terminals. I know you're using a 2006 or early 2007 terminal and you should upgrade.

-You need gates for the airplanes, that way people can enter the airplane.

-Make a seperate terminal for cargo and shipment.

-Your hangers need to be MUCH bigger if you intend to use 747s and even those small 700s and 900s. I suggest looking up custom hangers for this.

-Taxiways for the airplanes, it's like their predesignated route to the runway.

-The runway needs to be MUCH longer for it to support larger aircraft. If you have small airplanes like a private jet, then the size should be a little bit larger.

----------

Keep on improving!!! I'd like to see more of your work!

[§haÅ--Ñ€ §hÅŽo 370]

This CJ is not dead as a reminder, but Matinenda is now the center of attention.

[§haÅ--Ñ€ §hÅŽo 370]

It's back! After 7 months of time away from Shayden, it is back! Now more enjoyable then it was before. With realistic cities, more details of the nation, and beautiful pictures that you may drool over. You don't believe me?? Well see for yourself then:

See? These pictures aren't perfect yet, but my cities are already looking better. So enjoy the first post!

None, really? Fine then.

Ok so do you remember all of my unrealistic cities in my unrealistic nation? Well I am remaking them. Only this time I am making the cities more realistic. You know how all of my cities had skyscrapers and were always bigger cities? Welp, no more. Spartanburgh is now a suburban city with a calm atmosphere.

As you can see here, a majority of the houses in Spartanburgh were built in the 19th Century. No more big urban city.

One of the few schools in Spartanburgh. The school being right beside the farm is convenient for the kids that work part-time jobs there. They won't have to worry about a long walk or waste gas to get a ride to it.

A shot of some of the many businesses in Spartanburgh. Not much else to say.

Another school but this one being beside a baseball field. As long as it is nice that day for Gym Class, the kids are taken out to the baseball field to play. (The lines on the baseball field are a glitch that is made by my laptop, I apologize for that.)

This was to show what divided the residential from the commercial parts of Spartanburgh, and it is the crops.

Finally one last picture of some of the wondrous houses in Spartanburgh.

Hope you enjoyed this update. I worked hard on it, please comment and tell me what you think!

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Wow!Cool that you are back!Can't wait to see more of your cities!

[Schulmanator 5,812]

It looks like a very pleasant town.

Nathanthemayor: Thanks, hope you enjoy them more then the old Shayden!

Schulmanator: Thanks, well, it was a nice town.

So bad news. While I was on Sc4mapper I saved a map by the name of Shayden, the same name as my first region. It asked me if I wanted it to overwrite the old Shayden, the one with the old Spartanburgh, I clicked on No, but it decided to save anyway. So I lost that Spartanburgh and I fought with my laptop and SimCity 4 for 5 days to make a new worthy Spartanburgh. The only good thing that came out of this is that I made the city on the new map, and it came out just a little bit better then the old Spartanburgh.

Spartanburgh is a smaller town with a population of 136,000. Jobs are plentiful and the city is going strong.

Remember the school right by the crops? Well here it is.

A view of the Solar Panels. These Panels help give this fine suburban city the energy needed keep it's citizens happy, and less of a worry

about pollution that you'd get with urban machines.

Some Windmills that give additional electricity to Spartanburgh. Once again, energy needed to keep it's citizens happy, less pollution to

worry about.

Days Inn Hotel. Apparently this city is so nice that tourists like to visit it. They must like the many shopping areas of Spartanburgh.

Enjoy the city, and stay tuned for more! The banner I haven't been able to get to yet because of me working in Spartanburgh perfecting it. It will come soon don't worry!

None.

Just 4 more pictures.

The Town Hall where the Mayor lives, politics in Shayden will be discussed later on.

My next update will be on Harrison City. But it will be at least a week because I'm starting over from scratch. See you then!

[magnusjolnaes 1]

These are soooo much better, than your previous updates.

I have no doubt, that you made the right decision remaking the cities to make them realistic I wondering, if we could see an updated region view?

Nice work.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Well, the new Spartanburgh is very nice:) It's really terrible to lose a city (I think we've all been there haha)but good things can result from it! Nice work!

[Patricius Maximus 236]

I'm not exactly familiar with the old Spartanburgh (or Shayden for that matter), but I like the work you're doing here. It is quite pretty, and many aspects remind me of the old 2008 group of city journals (Franklin, Virgin Shores, etc.; basically the AFDES founders) in style. Keep it up, and do your best to rebuild any cities. Try and back up your cities so you don't have to start all over again.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

Wow, that are great pictures!

magnusjolnaes: Thanks, I can make a region view, but I'd have to post it on the next update.

NMUSpidey Thamks, haha yeah I need to be more careful with my regions.

Patricius Maximus: Thanks, Spartanburgh used to be a mainly Maxis skyscraper city (like my every other city), I'm actually not going to be able to rebuild all of my cities due to region differences.

skyscraper241: Thanks.

Okay. So I said that I'd need at least a week to get Harrison City done. Well I'll need way more time. I was trying to have all of my buildings grow but the Skyscrapers aren't growing in liked I wished them to. So I restarted today and I'll need another week or two. The good news is is that you get to see a preview of Harrison City.

My screen size is 1366x768, so the size of the picture will differ then my other ones. I'll be back soon with a completed Harrison City, stay tuned!

Well, the new Spartanburgh is very nice:) It's really terrible to lose a city (I think we've all been there haha)but good things can result from it! Nice work!

I haven't (though I probably just jinxed myself, lol)

Anyway your new work is looking rather awesome, so I stopped through to say so. I look forward to more

Recently I've been very busy, including resigning Matinenda from AIN and getting Shayden into USNW. You should really give USNW a look at, it's a great place. First here is where Shayden is located on Adonia (USNW's alternative Earth):

And here is the USNW site: http://usnw.forumotion.com/

To catch everyone up, Shayden is now as well a Commonwealth of Posillipo. Any other questions just ask me. Now for the CJ update.

Welcome to Harrison City. The bustling Metropolis that has a large community and is an important commercial city! Here are some pictures to ease the mind!

A day shot of the bustling commercial area.

Night-shot of the dazzling commerce area.

Night-shot of the calm residential area.

More to come later, enjoy!
