Sandalwood County

[_marsh_ 1,117]

So, here I am. With a new MD. This will be different than other things I've worked on. This will be a story of growth. It will start from a average sized city and then one day, it will hopefully grow into a metropolis.

I'll get a first update up later tonight. Enjoy for now.

For those that want the terrain mod, it is here. Be sure to get the dependencies.

[Roger51 381]

Great to see you back marsh, and a good region to start with

[bluemoose 223]

Oh Noes! San Fransisco got turned upside down! Looks great, can't wait for this CJ!

[Kifflom112 355]

You're creating a new CJ, you know that will be good. I can't wait.

[jakehh 52]

Looking forward to seeing how your City grows. :3

[Benedict 3,119]

Great to see you back with something new - looking forward to seeing what the region's future is.

[Paulobergonci 673]

[Ion_Cannon 677]

Oh I bet you loved doing all that treeing

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, the result is usually something special.

Schulmanator, emperordaniel, Roger51, Bluemoose, Zulu2065, Jakehh, Benedict, Paulobergonci & Keder: Thank you all. I used an upside-down map so it wasn't similar to the real life location. Hopefully that will prove a good decision.

Ion_Cannon: Yea. Let's go with like. Took all night but I'm happy with the results.

1-1

The town of Sandalwood. The small village of 53 lies on a peninsula jutting into the Frasica Bay. 10 shops line the roads for travelers and tourists heading through to larger cities and sites. The town is small. One of those where everybody knows everyone. Among other things is the small church and water tower, further from the town center. The only road is a 2-lane I-16.

1-2

The small town seems so alive at night despite being completely asleep.

1-3

No fences. At the moment the sort-of community the town has is trustful. The sheep and other livestock roam free around the valley and beyond.

1-4

I-16 winds through the hills east of town. It seems some cows have wandered out of the valley.

1-5

1-6

And that's all for today. Stay tuned and see how this develops. (I'm trying to figure out how myself )

[bluemoose 223]

Those Squigley Roads are lovely! The Town looks so quaint and peaceful!

It looks like it might be hard to fence in those pastures, so maybe and open concept is best

Anyways, It looks amazing so far

[Paulobergonci 673]

nice first update, i personaly liked the I-16 pictures. And nice landscaping

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Really good work Marsh! I really like how you used all those special NAM pieces

[Benedict 3,119]

Love it - the town, the setting (upside-down map is a brilliant idea), the winding road... and all the potential for the future! It feels like anything could happen.

[Ace3 1,209]

Great job on the terrain!

[Roger51 381]

Great update marsh, I just love the small town

[iowndiscti 141]

be careful marsh. its gold in dem hills [prospector voice ] (and by gold we mean gold plated coyotes...... carrying explosive dynamite on their backs, yes sandalwood county is a very dangerous place indeed.)

nice start i like the terrain color, landscaping and the "sllih fo ytic, ocsisnarf nas" map you used.

sllih fo ytic, ocsisnarf nas is San Francisco, city of hills, just inverted like the map

[packersfan 666]

Great map, great land, great trees, great water. Looks so realistic. I wish I had the terrain mod! What is it? Great countryside, making me very jealous. Great start!

[КaZZ 203]

i like it, kinda realistic!

[Wraner 335]

It's beautiful, Way to go Marshy!

[bakercity 270]

Marsh, this cj looks promising and the countryside and small town looks very nice. Looking forward to more of this nice cj. JKB

Bluemoose, Paulobergonci, Emperordaniel, Benedict, 100000000000, Roger51, Iowndiscti, Testuser, Wraner & Bakercity: Thank you all. I have a few more updates to go before the town actually starts to grow. So stay tuned

Packersfan: That is the Pyrean terrain mod by orange. Found here.

2-1

I-16 is the interstate coastal 2 lane highway that runs through the region. N-S it runs up the coast, and stops at a ferry crossing the Frasisca Inlet. It goes up some pretty rugged terrain on the coast to get by. That making it a very dangerous road too, cars commonly careening off the side.

2-2

2-3

It's a long way down...

2-4

Very quiet beaches. Almost private. Few people come here but the ones that do get all the privacy they need.

2-5

Steep cliffs drop almost straight into the water. Causing much rugged waves crashing into the rocks.

2-6

2-7

[Prens 168]

Maybe them dangerous roads should have guardrails?

Has anyone ever made plopable guardrails? that would be coooool!

Anways, awesomesauce update!

[Ded 30]

That looks fantastic, _marsh_ - love that steep road up the hillside, reminds me a little of driving through rural NZ.

[iowndiscti 141]

*explodes from the epic update*

[emperordaniel 1,281]

:O

Looks so REAL!!!

[Benedict 3,119]

I like where this is going. I really like the amount of trees/vegetation - strikes a great balance of wind-swept plains and hills, with small pockets of trees. Works perfectly for me.

[simlink 1,098]

Wow, _marsh_, fantastic! It looks so relistic... look forward to more!
