Looks like a promising start.  I like the stages that the city is getting developed in...roads, parks, etc.

Not to be rude, but if your browser and/or internet connection permits, you may consider making one gigantic post instead of 8 seperate posts.
 
But anyhow, I'm going to keep my eye on this one.

 

 

I work for the US Army. I go places, visit mean people, and kill them.

 

Winston Churchill is generall credited for saying something to the effect of: "People sleep soundly in their beds because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf". That about sums up my life, besides the "rough men" part.

    Hello

    Glad some of you appreciate my posting. For i appreciate alot of the hard work that went into alot of the custom lots. Great Job guys..keep it up.
    I am new at journals especially here and in regards to spamming comment..i am sorry for whatever you consider spamming..not sure what my error is as i hoped my intro explained my journal and i have overstepped any rules etc. I f i have please feel free to delete my journal and i sincerely apoligize.
     
    As for posting several different replies to post pics..i have posted in other game forums and noticed that if you load to many pics in one post..its very very slow to load..thats why i did it that way..no other reason...i will post more next time.
     
    As for any cheats or Mods..yes i have some...unfortunately..Sorry..but i do. I loaded up on some extra cash with Money Lot. I also load the radical Ordinance Mod and the Road Top Bus/Subway lot.
    And also a Crime doesnt Pay lot..(i think thats what its called). Sorry to disappoint all the straight shooters out there. I have been building for years now and decided to try different ways..and i like this one so far the best just for something different. I know lots others have done the same..
     
    You do have a wonderful site here and hope it stays strong along with all the sim builders.
     
    regards

    Wow. Looks nice so far! 1.gif

    I like that logo of yours. I had a (short) look on your page too. Maybe you should put a link in your sig since typing a complete web adress is something some people don't like to do (guess that's why they invented bookmarks ... 2.gif)

    About that spamming and putting too much pics in a post, I found out 6 upt o 12 pics are not a really big problem (and I have only a 256 kbps connection).

    Anyway: a lot of nice ideas in your cj. Now let's wait and see how it'll look like with all the empty lots filled with growables!

    Hmmm ...

    I like the way how you combine traffic and green. Nice works with all the alleys and parks (I guess scrollıng through your Parks&Plaza is as much painful as it is on my pc ...45.gif) Really great work how you plopped the CSX entrances and the bıllboards! 48.gif

    BUT!!!!


    Look at the slopes of your avenues going down to the tunnels!!!! 28.gif Can't you here the bottom of the Simcars smashing and scratching on the ground while going down or up the slope on the vertex? Don't you have any mercy with slower vehicles likes busses or trucks? 27.gif

    Have a look on page 7 on my cj. There is a link to the BRF TunnelAndSlope Mod. Especially at the beginning when you use it is REALLY painful since it reduces the slopes of all traffic ways to a realistic amount but especially avenue and railway slope will decrease DRAMATICALLY! 31.gif

    The price for the pain are perfectly sloped avenues and railway lines! Try it! After a while you don't want to miss it (and if your traffic network layout isn't working at all with the mod you can remove it temporarily ... 2.gif)

    Awesome! 9.gif

    A very promising start indeed. Now I'm guessing a thriving city right about...now.

    Very nice! An extremely nice use of custom lots, indeed.9.gif

    Re: Tunnel Roads...lol..yes they are bit sloped..makes for good jumps coming out of tunnels fast...not so good going fast in..probably would fly over tunnel enterance..lol

    I was planning on fixing that but was so busy painting the city green..and trying to keep a handle on buildings go black early on me..i forgot.
     
    Again appreciate the comments and support..
