Oh my 21.gif You've done a terrific job, indeed 44.gif

I'm not really a brother of the angle, but in such a beautiful and scenic area I would become one 4.gif As I can see, there're some boats here and there.

You're welcome for the idea, Choco. You did an RHW-focused update earlier in GD. For the junctions which the current RHW doesn't cover, just use avenues (including freeway ramps, overpasses, etc.) I was just reinforcing that.

You said something on page 1 about that mystical Deeproe land. Was that superseded by the Depra Circle, and Deeproe is one of those other Depras?

(Are there going to be Deeproe updates at all?)

Wow! The swamp is awesome. This probably the most realistic ever made. (Sorry Mr.Cinatit!)

Oh my gosh ... now that is a great piece of nature! Great work with the swamp, but I guess going there from my to september may result in being eating by myriads of flys and moskitos ...

Yeah, I should have visted Green Debra more often, but right at the moment its is even hard for me to keep Urland running due to RLS ..

Take care my friend!

Man o Man. The swamp is just outstanding.

I can't imagine the work that went into creating it.

The boat jettie is really well done too. One of the best I have seen.

i love your swamp, i've always thought of how i could do that and then i see yours and how perfect it looks. i also really like those steps into the water with the boats and i was wondering were you got them.

Whoa. I can clearly see you went to alot of trouble for the creation of the swamps. And the little fishing port tucked in around all the trees. Very nice indeed. And i'll say this. Depending on my free time and interest, I may go forth with Mornington Peninsula before the blog system. And hey, I say that I finally got some tickets for Melbourne. The mens hockey final on march 26 at royal park. Should be interesting and should have Australia playing. Cya mate.

This looks wonderful. I would've replied last night, but noooo, ST was down.

Keep up the good work, Choco. (sorry, I missed the last two updates)

    Thanks everyone for the many gracious comments! Sorry about the test post, I had trouble posting this yesterday.

    PersonalComments-Banner1.jpg

    jglei701 Hey! Thanks for popping by and for the comment! 2.gif

    magpieshooter Hey, I like your new animated avatar! Very Australian! Yeah, me too, I've been tempted to make a CJ just on Blue Depra! But then I have for Yellow and Gold too... Thanks for the comment mate.

    sloppet Haha! Thanks for the polish... and the english comment! 18.gif

    Simbourgeois Hello! Hows things? Yes, I image I would sail around there too! (me being the worst sailer in the world!) But I think it would be a great place to fish at least, I have this image of me crashing a boat into the swamp.

    Tracker Yeah, I will. Oh, I had fogotten about that, I had all these storylines planned about the Depra's trying to find Deeproe. But I guess I got so swept up with Green Depra's development It slipped past my mind. Thanks for the reminder... there will be Deeproe update eventually... I have a few things planned! Cheers. 2.gif

    Dr. Frickenstein Hey Fricky! Thanks for the comment mate!

    GMT Thanks, glad you liked the updates! Cheers!

    cowcorn Hehe, I love your name! Wow, thanks for the great compliment, I still think Mr.Cinatit's is the greatest ever made. 18.gif Cheers mate!

    jacqulina Thanks, I liked this area too, and I was very happy with it. Thanks for the comment.

    Sisu Thanks, I appreciate the comment, and I'm glad that you liked it Sisu! Cheers!

    Nardo69 I know what you mean about the trouble of maintaining Cjs! Yeah... I dread the bugs from that swamp! It supplies the bugs for the entire region! Well, I'll welcome you back to Green Depra any time, and I should pop into Urland sometime too! 9.gif

    pvarcoe Hello! Welcome... It took a while, but I enjyoed every minute of it, so it was great! Thanks for the comment.

    Goin2Chicago Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked it. The boat things can be found on This Page.

    Lakeyboy Yeah, it took a while, but I enjoyed doing it! Oh double Excellent! Both on the possibility of seeing MP early, and that you're going. I'm going to the athletics next week on Friday, but the hockey finals should be fantastic! That would be cool! Go Aussie!

    Shadow_Assassin Hey shadow! Sorry, I admit I've been lurking in your Cj and not posting much! But its really been something great recently. And the frequent drops in Simtropolis are very annoying! I wanted to update several times when it was down! Thanks for the comment mate.

    You're welcome mate. I think update 29 (if it's for GD) needs:

    -a regional update
    -something about another GD city
    -a GD Times

    If it's for Deeproe, you can just take over, choco.

    Again, Attention to detail in the scope of such a large area is impressive. The swamps are great. There was not a single part that seemed repetitive and the lighthouse was an excellent touch to have there. The seawalls near the boats also look quite nice (jeronij's?). One question I do have though, is where you got the stairs descending to the water and that pillar near the moored boats. Also, the resevoir looks quite natural (especially the spillways) and is a good use of the canals. I have used them myself to some extent in my cities but a resevoir is an idea I may have to borrow if that is alright. Great job.

    Vester, those are the Mayor Mode sea flora mod (or something similar) from Goldiva (?). The lighthouse is PEG's Lighthouse Island. I sometimes use it.

    Wow! The Wilminkton swampland looks great! The boat dock, lighthouse, seawalls, and various boats parked at different places in the swamp gave a nice touch to the area. Great job, choco!44.gif29.gif

    BTW, what is that building in the fourth mosaic inside the brick road circle?
    Bait shop, maybe?42.gif

    Thanks for the comments!

    PersonalComments-Banner1.jpg

    Tracker Thanks for your suggestions mate, I will keep them in mind while planning the update. I have been meaning to make a new GD times, the problem is I accidentally deleted the original file! So I have to start over, which really sucks. But I have a visual guide of the ones I've already posted. I will try and get a regional update out, I haven't done one of those for a while. And thanks for sticking me in your SIG, I appreciate it, especially considering how hard it is to put links in with 5.0! Cheers mate!

    Threestooges Thanks! I was afraid of repetition, and I did it once, and didn't like it, so I destroyed it again and tried to keep mixing everything up so it didn't look at all the same over and over! Ah, I really liked that reservoir idea, and it's a pleasure to pass the torch to you. I wanted a new way to use canals, and a dam worked well. The fishing landings you're looking for can be found down on this page. Thanks for the comment!

    Yoman3 Thanks for the comment, I used many flora mods, including the underwater flora mod by gizmo and threw them all together on top of some shallow water and low-lying land to create something which slightly resembled a swamp! Thanks!

    Fabiocb Always great to see you Fabio! Thanks very much for the gracious compliments! I'm always glad to have surprised,m its my job you know!

    baller23 I'm glad you liked the swamps and my use of Jeronij's backwaters. I've come to love those buildings. Thanks!

    Goldfish4209 Thanks for the comment goldfish!

    Darmok Haha, I don't believe I made the king jealous! I'm glad you left a comment even though you didn't have much time, cheers mate!

    vester_DK Welcome to the CJ vester! Great to see such a great train modder around! I'm not sure which thing you're talking about, but the lighthouse can be found here. Thanks for the comment!

    Cityhawk Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you liked it City Hawk! You got it in one, I meant it to be a bait shop, I'm not sure what it actually is, but I'm sure its olong those lines. It can be found in the Fishing Port set on this page. Thanks for the sig reference by the way!

    chocolotemax-

    You now own the title of Watermeister.  I like to do shorelines and such, but you've created a whole new SC4 dimension in Wilminkton.  I plan to ask a few of the STEX gods (jeronij comes to mind) for a few things we could use to further the realism (slightly smaller than the current automobile-size lily pads come to mind- hate to tangle with the frogs that would sit on those things).  I'll be back for more inspiration and to re-read Green Depra in its entirety soon.

    Thanks, btb, for stopping by my CJ.  Good to have you around and I really appreciate your comments and input.
