Hey mate, a quick question -- what's your rationale for posting your CJ over there with all the other journals??? I originally did that as well, but have found people interested in CXL frequent THIS specific dedicated page for CXL journals rather than the other one...

Anyway, can you update both locations with pics etc?

How did you maage to make everything work without anyone being too far away from work?

[Damastius 5]

@Jazye I could, but my amount of time is very short. That's why I only put one picture + link here. The reason to post it there is because I want SC4 people to know that CXL can be an awesome game, when used the right way. Thanks for your comment mate.

@Denon333 I work per district. When I started with the suburbs, I started with the suburbian office area too. As you may have seen I have two office areas in the suburbs. However, I WANT traffic congestion because this CJ is about realism, and what is a metropolis without traffic jams? Thanks for your interest.

[Jesse Swiss 6]

Yes! You think like me, the more traffic the better for me

 Update 11: The Edge

Good morning Trivordam City... The weather is pleased, and most of the inhabitants have a day off and are outside. The bars are open and many people are enjoying a fine sunday's meal. David is driving to his colleague Gary and his wife, to have dinner together. It doesn't matter when you are driving, there are always cars around you. The roads are always welcoming the travellors. We need to get off the expressway in about a mile.. and get into Clarington. Welcome to the edge of TDC! If you drive a little bit further you can witness the landscape transforming from housing to farmland. A terrific view! Let's do that another time.. David arrived just in time for dinner, and the lights burned untill dark.. but he also has to get back again. It is wonderful to drive around at night. See you next time, DM.

Awesome as always

Love the interchange! May I ask where you found the trees? Both them on the side and the redish ones in the middle? And are you using CXL 2009 or 2011??

[Damastius 5]

Thank you! They are part of the 'decidious tree mod' by Jeff10 at Generation-City.net. I can't find it now, but you could also take a good look at the modding index of the official site. I am using CXL 2009

[luddmamm 3]

Okey I'm running 2011 and I found the tree mod here in the STEX

Thanks anyway!

Thanks for the updates on a great city. What's your population? I'm quite new here, and I really learn from your discussion - like surburban office areas, etc. I have been trying to do the same thing, and am get a lot from your posts.

[Jesse Swiss 6]

Cant get enough of your downtown and its areas around it!

[Angelic 0]

Is it a box? Is it square?

No, it's Damstius ._.

You don't want to give my proposal a shot?

Shame, could've improved your city x Extreme snubby face (dang, do I miss my MSN emotes x

Way to go, up, up, in the sky

P.S. It was just a joke x 'Smiley' x

Thanks for all those GREAT replies, and as Reikhardt could not maintain his patience any longer... (You'll have to wait longer for more, though, sorry! ) --------- A car starts. The lights go on and are heading to Mayhem Road... It enters the expressway and is heading towards the centre, looking for a gang. There must be one, in the dark alleys... You thought everything was fine in TDC? Think again. DM.

[Jesse Swiss 6]

Nice effects, really nice!

[Damastius 5]

 Trivordam City, some call it TDC, at night. However, you do not feel alone! There are many others around you...

This part is still somewhat the edge of the city. We are now driving through an agglomeration. The farms are behind us; 

waiting to be sprawled over by new housing projects.

Driving over the freeway, no jams tonight.

My hotel is not far away now. I need to get of the freeway soon. It looks like a rush-hour at night...

Some people are still in their offices, like night guards watching over the city at night...

Ah, there it is. Let's take some rest.

Wait a moment, I hear some screaming... shots! At Hadson Bank!

Call the emergency number, 666!

See you next time,

DM.

hay that a cool pic at night with the city in the back ground, almost look real. 10/10

[jazyje 1]

The last 2 updates make the city look like a scene from a horror movie.... lol

[penguin007 27]

Some great moody pictures here great photoshopping!!

Will

[Jesse Swiss 6]

Oh my god! Was someone hurt?

[Damastius 5]

Thank you, for all your interest in my work. I have been working again, this time near the centre. I've added a park, and picked out just the right buildings to get lovely effects.

Here are the pictures!

The traffic map. Finally some traffic on the roads, which adds realism to the city!

The expansion of the city is full of classic TDC scenes...

Thanks for viewing, and see you next time,

DM.

[DCMetro34 577]

Fantastic....just simply fantastic!! 

[Jesse Swiss 6]

Im guessing you use paint or something else for your traffic lights? Your city looks beautiful!

[mentarman 14]

Looks really good. Gets better and better as more of the city fills in.

[Ocram's Razr 964]

Your city looks beautiful but your photoshopping makes the sky look weird.
