GReen Depra is awesome! This is by far, one of the all-time great CJ's. I have no words to descrive the beuty of all the streets and that first pic of the el-rail is the best!! You are definetly the best! I was wondering, what house mods or BAT's do you use, to replace the Maxis houses. I know about the Gascooker BAT's already. Thanks so much!!!!!

[Deathtoall 28]

Wow, so colourful, i love your mosiacs, they are so beauiful and vibrant. I love the variety in the houses!

[Equilibria 16]

Both the GLR and the El Rail have been charmingly integrated with the surrounding suburban areas (something that is hard to do sometimes). It looks great. I've been reading this city journal from the beginning, and it keeps getting better and better. Good job.

This is my first time visiting your CJ and I really admire your use of light rail.  I alway thought that it would have a similiar effect on residential neighborhoods as passenger trains but I see that your using it quite successfully.   None of the homes next to it look abandoned and you have very little traffic.  I'll have to rethink my use of it.  Well done.

First, I'm honored to receive my citizenship! Thanks!
Second, as a new citizen, may I respectfully ask...
When will we see that seaport!!

Great work mate!

[MasterPlanMan 1]

Verys nice updates indeed! That region shot was spectacular! Great mosaic and I really like your use of the GLR. Your low res areas look very colorful and inviting.

 

Again great job on constructing a beautiful region so far!

[r0g3r 1]

Very nice... I love those mosaics.

[choco1 4]

Woah!  Alot of comments, thanks everyone!

 

I will respond to your comments in time, but right now I'm going to go straight to the update!

 

 

Today we will have another, all visual update with few comments from me...

 

The commerce of Green Depra has been picking up, and so has the exports, so new harbours are being built all across the coast.

 

A peaceful scene of a sail boat drifting past the harbour... 

 

 

The environmentally friendly refinery, which produces minimal pollution.

 

 

Many small boats drift over the coral sea, while their passengers stare at the fish.

 

 

The large cargo ship is carful not to damage the seabed.

 

 

The Breeberg Tower next to some oil storage tanks.  A favorite place for workers.

 

 

After the Green Depra government found a huge source of oil of the coast of Furnace Hills, the shipment has been shipped up, and this is one of the largest tading areas for the oil.  This port is where the oil gets exported to Gold Depra.  This new find of oil willprove a huge kickstart in Green Depra finding its own feet.

 

 

 

The Breeburg Tower stands red against the port backdrop.

 

 

It is important that the workers can see at night, so many huge, expensive light towers were set up.  The locals have complained about light polution however.  The complain is still to be heard in the Green Depra Council.

 

 

The base of a huge oil tower.

 

 

The port sticks out into the reef, but the base of the sea walls are home to many fish and barnicles alike.

 

 

The breeburg tower is a huge resteraunt, which is very popular with the workers during the day...

 

 

...and with tourists and wealthy people at night.

 

 

At night, the factories light up, and glow...

 

 

The port is bright, to warn oncoming ships.

 

 

The tourism to the Coral Reefs of Green Depra has stepped up, and a new cruise sompany has come into the region.  The company known as Green Star Lines has set up several terminals, with many large ships coming into the bay.

 

 

The ships are very popular at night, and in them stay hundreds of excited foriegners.

 

 

They are lit up with all the specticle of Green Depra.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed todays upadate, it wasn't a traditional update, and wasn't as green as they usually are, but I hope you enjoyed it!

 

BUT!  Just before I go, heres a preview for a future update...

 

 

Thanks everyone! Cheers!

This was a Green Depra update....

 

[EDIT] I fixed an error with one of the mosaics, its all better now!

[UnkleS27 24]

great update! Thats a pretty cool looking port

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Wow, awesome, Choco. Thanks for the citizenship!

 

And the seaport looks awesome.

 

As for the animated .gif, try using ImageReady, rather than just Photoshop [you can open .psd files in IR]

And so, I took the liberty of editing my photo. [hope you don't mind, lol]

 

 

Oh, and you can even make it transparent! [Pardon the crude PS job ]

 

And also, be warned of the gigantic size. If you want me to remove it, or link to it, that's fine.

A pleasant turn of events for this burgeoning economy. Its government must be certain, though, to ensure that this newfound source of wealth does not lead it to destroy the balance it has achieved. Although I am confident that this will not happen (or be allowed to happen) and that the environment may even be made the better for it. Great ports by the way. It is very impressive, the way the reefs blend right into the ports. It seems that the tourism industry will be hitting its stride soon as well. Again, keep up the good work and, as always, I look forward to more.

[baller23 2]

nice update ilike your light poles and the roundabouts

[decola 0]

Wow, this Cj is brilliant! I love the way you present everything and pay attention to small details. Great job!


Also, where'd you get those light pole things from?

[jacqulina 162]

[metasmurf 705]

Looking great :D oh, and where did you get thouse ships?

[r0g3r 1]

Another awesome update.....

What is that spherical tank labeled LNG and where can it be found? I'd seen that in some other CJs and I had been looking for it without success.....

[choco1 4]

 Goldfish4209 Thats okay!  The teaser shot was supposed to be lik that!  Its a photoshop trick.

 

SYM Productions Wow!  You're welcome! I'm glad that you liked it so much!  Its my way of saying how much I appreciate posts like this one!  Yes, I'm sure you'll fit in perfectly with the Green Depra crowd, they all love to walk, expecially on trails through the mountains!  I know, I was really surprised about the wiki thing! Thanks for your gracious comments, I really appreciate it!  Cheers mate.

 

1dera3 Thanks so much!  I hope it never ends too! I'm really happy you liked the update so much! Thanks!

SC4 meister Thanks mate, I really appreciate your comments!  I'm glad you liked the mosaic, I was quite proud of that one!  You will always be my biggest fan meister!  Catcha.

 

Simworld 056132 Thanks, I am honoured for Green Depra to be compared to art!  I would love to see it in th top 5!  One can hope! Thanks for opening the page, and congrats on having 700 posts.

 

MishaTennis Hi! Welcome to the CJ!  Its great to see you here!  Thankyou for your comments, much appreciated!  I only use gascookers lots to replace the maxis houses, but if there is any other building you are wondering about I wouold be happy to help you find it!  Good luck!

 

Deathtoall Thanks so much!  I'm glad you like the colour of Green Depra.

 

Equilibria thanks, I tried very hard to intergrate the GLrR into my cities, I've never really used them before so it was a bit of a gamble!  Thanks for reading my CJ from the start!  Cheers mate!

 

SamFlash Hey sam, welcome to the CJ! I'm glad you liked my use of the GLR!  I never really used it but I've also seen its possibilities, so I recomend it now!  Goodluck, and I hope t see you again!

 

Darmok You're welcome, glad you liked it!  Oh, and the seaport has just been shown!

 

MasterPlanMan Thanks mate, I'm really glad a great city designer like yourself likes my towns!  Cheers mate!

 

r0g3r Thanks for stopping by, glad you liked it!

 

UnkleS27 Thanks for stopping by my CJ!  Thanks for your comments!

 

Shadow_Assassin Shadow, you're wlelcome for the citizenship and thanks for sixing the image!  I couldn't figure out how to do it!  And even now I still can't in Image Ready! All well! Yours looks alot better!  Cheers mate!

threestooges Yes, the economy is benefiting, but will the environment?  The newspapers are picking up on this sudden and quick decision by the council, although the council is assuring them that it will have no effect.  I guess we will have to wait to see what happens...

 

Thanks mate, glad you liked it and thanks for your cool analysis!

 

baller23 Thanks, glad you liked the roundabouts.

 

decola Hello!  Welcome to the CJ!  I'm really glad you liked it, thanks for your comments.  You can find the light poles here.

jacqulina Thanks for your comments, very appreciated.  I've always liked the close up shots better, which is why the last update was strange, because it had alot of further out ones.  Cheers!

metasmurf Hello!  Thanks, the ships aren't availiable for download anywhere, they are bya japaneese maker who stoped giving them out.  If you really, really, really are dying to get it, then PM me and I'll e-mail you. Cheers.

 

r0g3r Hey again!  Thanks, the tank can be found here , its by SOMY, a brilliant BATter, and comes in a pack with the other industry lots you can see in thise update. Search SOMY on the STEX for more of his BATs.

 

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

 

I appreciate it very much!

 

[EDIT] I became and urbanite with this post!

[1dera3 28]

It wasn't just the update - it's your whole CJ. It's simply mouthwatering. Yes, that's the word I've been looking for this whole time!

Good job, choco!

//1D3

[Darmok 34]

Great job with the seaport choco!
Now talk about a responsive government! we ask to see the seaport, and presto, here it is!
I really liked it mate, good idea of transforming the Kobe tower into a restaurant! Great pics as always and good use of Jeroni seawalls!
Take care

[ElmarO 0]

Very nice update of the seaport area. It looks great and I think it is greener than the average harbor.

[AfroThunda 1]

Well I must say, great update. I love your region and the way you terraformed your terrain and your attention to detail rivals many of the great (such as Jeroni). Good work, keep it up!

  -Afro

[sim1234 62]

The seaport looks brilliant choco and you have used jeronij's seawalls superbly! It was a great idea to change the Kobe Tower into a restaurant and the mosaics look excellent! Keep up the fantastic work! Congratulations on becoming an Urbanite!

[pipishere 3]

Great update!.....love the port....& them sea walls look great.

[pipishere 3]

Excuse me...double post!

[nealos101 20]

Chocoman... This CJ is GORGEOUS! And very green as well... It kicked my CJ right out the window as soon as it stepped into the room!

I feel proud for you to say nice comments in my BAT thread, and here's my thankyou note! Very cooool CJ...

 

Nealos101

 

P.s. It is Very green in more than one aspect...

[Simworld 056132 1]

Lively feel. Nice fresh clean air, **takes a wisp** ahh. Big Industrys too.

I like it and can't wait for some far-out updates!!!

[Exhagaga 0]

Ooooh, this is so popular every time I come back Ive missed a couple of pages!
Great updates, the seaport is amazing! Maybe its just me, but I still find the underwater reefs entrancing
That region pic a page back was great, its nice to see how the region is coming along, quickly it seems! Its nice to see the seaport area from above too(Or at least i think its the seaport area, at the bottom of the pic)

Anyhoo, keep it up

[oroen 0]

The refinery looks so perfect immediately adjacent to those new seawalls. It almost looks like the seawalls are a part of the whole complex. That's a testament not only to the makers of those items but also to your good eye for putting them together like that.
