Green Depra

[choco1 4]

Here's an exclusive, a first ever look at the money of Green Depra! 

The currency is called Depra Leaves (DL) and this is what the 5DL note looks like:

And here one is propped up:

They feature the leave symbol for money in Green Depra and the Green House (also known as the Lords House, it is the residence of the Elected Lord, currently Lord Scarlet)

Do we like?

Hey everyone!  Thanks for the gracious comments!  I appreciate it soooo much!  There will be an actual update, hopefully by wednesday!

Cowcorn Thanks mate! Glad you liked them.

zachos-prague Thankyou very much!

Darmok Oh yes, one of my favourite things about the forth simcity is the ability to create small towns and use smaller, more common buildings. That is my passion! Cheers mate!

Rayden Ah! Just what I like to see, thanks!

hamsterTK You gotta love KFC! Thanks!

connor_v Thanks very much for the comment! I use photoshop for the newspaper and images, its a brilliant program if you know how to use it. Cheers.

Bat Hehe, yeah, its a bit off! Thanks, I’ve had fun doing this project.

Jacqulina Thanks Jacky! I appreciate it!

Charles Rodulfo Hey! Well, its a bit of a combination. You see some trees I place using cycledoggs and jeronij’s mayor mode ploppable trees and others I use tree lots, pegs and cycledoggs both! Personally my favourite house BATs are those by Gascooker. They are britishy houses and I think they look great, have a search for them! Thanks for the comment!

GMT Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Aleking Yeah, that image is a personal favourite of mine too!

wblake50 Thanks! And welcome to the City Journal! Um, there aren’t any pedestrian lots that houses grow next to, the ones I use are just eye candy. They are by Pegasus and can be found of the STEX by searching PEG Trail. Thanks for stopping by!

Leech10 Thanks leech!

Aleko Thanks for the comment!

Benedict Hey! Welcome back! Thanks!

Yoman3 You know what, I might just do that for you Yoman! I just developed some farming areas so we might look at them soon.

Magpieshooter haha! Lets not get ahead of ourselves! But yeah, I am overwhelmed by the amount of support I get. Thanks mate for stopping by!

Nik-nik Thanks mate! Yeah, that damn floating park pissed me off too, unfortunately there wasn’t much I could do. I though, I could photoshop it out, or I could post it anyway. So I did, hoping you would be the only one to pick up on it! Haha! Yeah, the last image is a personal fav. Cheers!

eggie99 Thanks!

[Yoman3 5]

AMAZING!!!! That is better than the Unio pics!!!! How did you do the second shot! Did you print it out and take a pic!!!! WOW WOW WOW!!! I could sure use you once jeb steps down!

[ilikehotdogsalot 308]

ZOMG THAT IS AMAZING.

[SpecialEddie 3]

Mmmm. Money

[ThomasAH 0]

Wow, that's indeed amazing! Great photoshopping or however you made it

[crazychickensc12 84]

That truly is amazing, Great job on the photoediting my friend...keep it up!!

[defcon pilot 0]

Ironically, that would look great on a credit card. Sorry for not having checked out your CJ... in a long time. It's great!

BTW, I like how you color usernames in your "replies" section. Reminds me of salad.

[Goin2Chicago 4]

wow, i'm terribly sorry about the name mix up. i've been calling it that for all these months and now i feel like an idiot. lol. 

that money is awesome. i really don't know how you do it. can't wait for more.

Yeah, I was pretty active in the summer months with forum gaming and off-topic threads, as well as the CJ forums. I've slowed down a lot now because of school, but tonight I make my final 100 post milestone before I hit the big 5000: 4900TH POST!!!

Anyway, the DLs look very nice; I know you had to of worked hard on them, and I bet you're satisfied that the product is awesome! I look forward to more!

[Sim shady 12]

tight currency. lol this is a deep cj!

[connor_v 3]

Nice! The money looks great, and I'm sure if you made a back, it would be just as good as the front! Looking forward to your next update!

[sorchin 18]

Lovely mosaics CM. Especially the second one. In the first one putting Pegs fancy park trails on a slope is an interesting idea. Especially for skateboarders..

[owenluby 1]

Choco, your graphic design skills are marvellous! I have latley been testing out some techniques on Photoshop and Imageready, but mine aren't nearly as good as yours...

I just love that five leaf note! How much is one leaf compared to a buck?

Can't wait for more,

Owen

[teddyrised 1]

Hi choco! Long time no see and green depra is as green as before! Haha. And, yeah, like many others who've pointed out, you can use the brick streets very well in your CJ, making the pictures look very colourful! Great use of PEG trail parks and the cycledogg trees! Oh, and I've noticed you used the PEG's alternative railway textures, which looks very nice in your green cities (I bet that the blocky look of the original maxis textures will mess up the beauty).

Your updates never fail to impress me! Keep it up and I can't wait for the next update

[cowcorn 11]

Very realistic money! It looks a bit like the canadian $20 bill.

[Micah 16]

That money looks incredible, Choco!

Too bad it isn't real.

[jacqulina 162]

excellent work with the money,awesome photoshopping

[Nik-nik 3]

aaah great 5 leaves bill. The colour / amount combo reminds me of the good old days before introduction of the Euro when the Netherlands had a very nice 5 Guilder bill. I am talking about the eighties now as prior to the introduction of the Euro the 5 NLG bill was replaced by a 5 NLG coin. Gosh I am that old.........

Nik-Nik

[Alfred.Jones 2]

That looks insane Choco! Looking forward to more

[Charles Rodulfo 0]

ooooh, nice 5DL there Choco! I'll prepare my 1 unio once I'm already in the union! I haven't checked if you've done an update but I hope I didn't miss a thing... this is one of the CJ's that I firstly opened after 5 days of brownout and no PC usage! well, can't wait for whatever you would do next, a continuation of the currency or another update. Thanks for the tip on the gascooker bats!

Take Care,

Charles

Hey everyone!  Thanks for the support, and I'm glad you all enjoy Green Depra's currency!

I just want to thank anyone (if you are here) who nominated me for Member of the Month.  I really appreciate it!  Cheers!

But Right now, this:

Update 53!

Fur Hills

More and more people want to escape the busy cities of SCJU and Depra nations, and more and more are coming to the lands of Green Depra...

And as you can imagine all these new people just create an even better atmosphere and more people at the local shopping precinct, so of course they must upgrade things...

But, just like everyone else in the world, Green Deprovians while loving Green also love blue...

...and they love to build houses along the coast of Provara Lake...

Of course, you have to travel down a few cliffs from the hills of Fur Hills to reach it, but for a simple carefree boatride, its worth it...

The people of Green Depra love their trees, but they love their water too...

Thanks for reading!

Simfan34 Thanks! Oh, its just the simple addition of too much time and photoshop!

Yoman3 Haha! Thanks mate! Oh no, I didn’t print it off, but I did photoshop it onto an existing photo of a note! Hehe, tricks of the trade I guess! I’m sure I could make you a few graphics when if you need them. Cheers.

Ilikehotdogsalot Haha! Thanks, glad you liked it. Oh, and I must say, I love your username!

SpecialEddie Oh yeah, doesn’t it taste good!

ThomasAH Yup photoshop! Thankyou!

Sorchin Oh yeah, they just love it! Although the result is far too many broken bones! Heh, glad you liked it mate!

Owenluby From what I’ve seen in your Journal I think they are very good! Keep practicing and soon they will be incredible! I think there are about three DLs to the US dollar. Thanks mate!

Terrymunweihao Hey Terry! Its been ages! Far too long! Thanks mate! I’m glad you like my little obsession with red streets! Heh, oh and thanks for the mention in your sig! See you around mate!

Micah Hey mate! I know what you mean! Hehe, thanks!

Jacqulina Hey Jacky! Thanks very much!

Nik-nik Hehe, I don’t think its that old! At least you’re not reminiscing about farthing from the 40s! Heh, cheers mate.

Alfred.Jones Hey thanks for the comment!

Charles Rodulfo Hey! Oh yeah, a huge congrats on that! Well, its an honour to be one of the first. I would hate to have a brownout for 5 days! Hah, how did you survive!? Hehe, I’m loving your CJ mate and thanks for the sig mention. Cheers!

Aleking Haha, I’m loving that avatar! * joins Alek in printing leaves before stealing them all and moving off to Hawaii!*

Thanks for reading!

And a little food for thought: 

“The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.”

- unknown (at least to me anyway)

Cheers, choco!

[The_Family_Guy 2]

I know I haven't been here in a while, but, your CJ blows me out of the water!

Absolutely incredible!
