Now that's one of the best surprise we had since a long time!

Welcome back amigo!

Just as I was running low in inspiration and motivation!

Seriously it's really great to see you again my friend, your presence was missed by everyone.

Updatewise : I really like that HUGE landfill concept! Very original thinking, strange that we don't see that much garbage though, but probably due to the effectiveness of the incinerators and Recycling center, have you checked their efficiency with the query tool?

Anyhow, great to have you back!

Salutations!

Hello dear Simtropia visitors !!!

I am glad you are glad I am back   !!

First a BIG THANKS TO ALL  for the welcome, I see most of you are happy because I reopened the CJ and not because the update itself.....not sure it that is so good..... !!!

I´ll try to reply some of your posts now:

Aleking, nice to see you. I am glad you like the SSM. I do also use it intensively

Yoman3, NTSY too , not sure about Capital bridge, the thread seems to be dead since some time...surely Smoncrie is quite busy at the moment.

Frankie_Grove, I understand you mean the farm with the waved roof, and those are farms surely belonging to the BSC/CSX farming creations. A search in the STEX under the farming category should give you the link to it.

sorchin, good idea , this gives me another one....plopable garbage ?¿

Rayden, yes, it seems the SC4Virus is quite deep installed in me

IdeaWorld, this is a custom mod I made a long time ago. PM if you want to test it !!!

GaBoR, gracias, igualmente señorita.... 

Goin2Chicago, thanks for your feedback !!!

kimcar, NTSY , well, I did not discard some BATting in the future....but not in the short future....

owenluby, I dont mind / dont know how many times I drawn and redraw any network until I get the desired look. It is not wated time for sure !!!. In RL you dont see those "jagged" networks the original game makes, so I use a custom slope mod to help me with this. The big problem with sloped networks are the intersections, which are always completely flat, and break any sloped network

Charles Rodulfo, the problem with the garbage comes because some Radical mods I use....... I ´ll try to find a solution to this somewhen....

Gaston, dont worry, I liked your descriptons . I encourage your to take a look to the BAT tutorials in the Omnibus and in the forums. To make some small buildings you dont need too much time !!!

ThomasAH, I not sure which you mean, the big waste to energy plant is from the SFBT team, the undergound garbagge incinerator is available in the STEX under civic category. I hope this helps.

John/Darmok, hola amigo, always nice to see you . I hope you keep enjoying this CJ !!!

ExiL3,"going strong", ha ha ha , muy bueno amigo !!! 

metasmurf, fredo, jacky, wngn, RushHourFreak, Alfred.Jones,crazychickensc12, Menotyou, ilikehotdogsalot, aleko, bat, Alakazam, Fallon144, bokrif, samlee860407, thanks to all for your nice comments and feedback. You are the energy this CJ needs   !!!

And before I leave, a preview on what is to come in Terreno City....Some terrain setup....

Again thanks for the feedback. I´ll post some more pics asap.

Btw, where is Sloppet     ?¿

[mightygoose 92]

great work and as for sloppet he seems to have vanished as of late totally and utterly...

[IdeaWorld 4]

Wow! It looks nice! I like how you build the farms on hills.

[crazychickensc12 84]

Very nice rural/farming areas here, i like how the farms arent completely flat but have some rolling hills in them, great work!!

[vester_DK 477]

WB, J.

I just love does curved fields you got there. Excellent work.

[____----____ 37]

sloppet has vanished off the planet and BIG thanks for the updated SSM files to replace the pink!!

i also like the use of the roundabouts at the onramps pretty clever.

[bourneid 13]

Welcome back, man. Glad to see you have had a break. Dont let things get to you...as is clear from the replys....folks wont hold it against you if you need a break form time to time.....We enjoy your updates no matter how long it takes.. 

I am with AK in saying that the SSM is groovy. IT adds a great new life to the res areas in my region. Thanks.

[sorchin 18]

A nice assortment of farms growing my friend. Although I think a destroy and regrow might be a good idea for the uppermost farm on the first pic. I hate when the farms level off like that. Just my opinion though. Nice use of the plop trees along the roads.. Take care my friend..

Beautiful farms!  I'm glad you decided to return to your CJ.  While I haven't had a chance to look through this one yet, I am reading your Columbia River region CJ (currently at page 50 of that journal) and am extremely impressed by your work in terraforming and city design.  I am looking forward to finishing reading that journal and starting on this one.  Please keep those updates coming!

Take care,
PDQAg

[Menotyou 0]

Wow! How do you the farms like that. I can only get them in square form!

[st louis dude 6]

Good start!

[Alfred.Jones 2]

Looks great jeronij! Looking forward to more

[owenluby 1]

Thanks Jeroni! I love your pictures!

[jacqulina 162]

[bat 6]

Fantastic update as always! Great work! Wondeful pictures!

[Nik-nik 3]

Welcome back Jeronij.

I am glad RL cut you some slack and let you play once in a while again.

I never started a CJ because RL just does not allow me enough time to make and upload the pictures. I tehrefore want to say thank you for commiting your time to us here at ST.

Updates: YES 2 of them!!!

The waste plant. What a waste. Never knew wast could be this beautifull (and I am working in RL for one of the largest recycling centres in Europe!).

The rural area looks great too. I just wish I had the time to realy scrutinise those pics but RL is calling.

Glad you are back J.

[eggie99 6]

Very cool that it's opened again, good luck!

[toxicpiano 125]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!111 welcome back, and awesome work!

[dedgren 830]

Hey jeronij:

I hope you dont mind it is opened again....quote>

That's like being asked by Michaelangelo if we'd mind if he was to follow up on having painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Your work is the touchstone for all of us who came after.  Mind?  Me?

Here's to Simtropia Revived!

[ExiL3 10]

Jeronij:

When those roundabouts came the first thing i did was to connect a roundabout to a highway onramp. It quite logical though, a crossroad would block way to much traffic compared to a roundabout.

Sweet stuff!

take care,

[Sagrel 0]

WOAH! Great farming areas!!! I love them...I love the way you're playing Jeronij...

Great to see you back...but you know...take your time...RL is a lot more important than SC4...We will understand if there's some lacks of update...So great to see you back...

Oh...And I keep thinking that you are the best player that I've ever seen You have fabulous CJ...so keep it up

Good bye and take care

Sagrel

[Tommy_Vercetti3 3]

Great looking farms. It's good to see you back with your fantastic city journal!

[Yoman3 5]

OK what I notice here isnt the road it isnt the farming. It is that path with the old stone walls on the sides. Is that your LE or is that on STEX? It would rock for my Old roman areas. Also good with the faming again. I hope you show us some of that last city with Tising Ma again. Damn I loved it. Too bad about the bridge. I loved that bridge. It was so interesting. Ok I'll shutup now...lol

[WorfoSAUR 0]

I'm sure that this is a dumb question that has already been answered...But how do you use the dirt roads? I searched for them, but I was like...I don't want textures, I want the road.

[Gaston 0]

Thanks for the encouragement jeronij,

       That means alot coming from you.      I really appreciate it.

       As to the farming and rural areas...       

....   just what I said before.     It reminds me of my childhood.     It is very similar to the farming communities in new england actually.   (I spent the first 10 or so years of my life there.    And a bit later when I was doing some flying as well.)    It looks very similar.     Not like the mid-west where I currently live.   Everything out here is big rectangles for the most part.       Yep, you have deffinately peaked my interest with this CJ.    Can't wait for more.
