    Welcome to Page 3

    This is not entirely related to the CJ... but I had to put my dog to sleep the other day.... I wrote a little tune in her memory, and recorded it on two tracks with a flamenco guitar...

    I think that it makes a great background for looking at the pics of Apollo County because it has a real mellow vibe, kinda like most of my cities....

    I also named a street after her in Apollo County..... RIP Magik 8.gif

    I'm sorry about your loss. It's never easy losing a friend or family member 8.gif

     
    That is a beautiful melody you recorded. And you are absolutely right, the music goes perfectly with your region.

    I'm soo sorry for you8.gif
    Magik looks sooo cute on the picture... what a shame...
    Some time ago my dog fell ill (he's already 15 years old, quite old for a terrier), I had to think about putting him to sleep... fortuatly the veterinary knew how to cure it...

    The melody is wonderful... just a real remember the good times-melody... It makes me really sad, I could just begin to cry8.gif You can be sure, I'm offering my full sympathy to you... it's just so sad8.gif

    Thanks very much for all the comments....I'm glad you guys like the region, and glad you liked my little tune.

    praiodan: 15 years eh? Magik was 12, it's really hard to lose them after that long... I'm glad yours is still with you.

    Vegeta The Puppet: Thanks, and I'll definitely keep the updates coming as often as I can... I plan to pretty much fill up the region with big cities, suburbs and small towns..... maybe from there it will grow to a super metropolis or something... I'm still not sure, I'm just letting it unfold in an organic way.

    This is just awesome. I've just found another really good CJ to read.

    *presses subscribe button*

    I also love the before and after shots if for no other reason than that I hate pressing the back button to see what has changed. You've also inspired me to use the dirt streets mod.4.gif

    Keep it up!

    Well, I'm using god mod trees, mayor mode trees and Peg's seasonal forests....

    If you want only pines, these are the two mods you want:

    Peg Mayor Mode Pines

    Peg God Mode Pines

    Hope that helps...
