WoW! Coolness! Great Job!

 

<Bump>

[riffsyphon1024 4]

Just a little update with the new cities submitted to me in the past couple of weeks. I have placed these in the county.

Included are Orishavit's Phosphorus Valley and Astatine, Dev's Carbington (he actually submitted Carbonton but he liked Carbington, even though I misunderstood his cruddy typing, but no harm done, lol), Iceburg's Puron Canyon, and Joexcooldude's Barite.

They will all somehow get something for this, maybe part of the superhighway named for them.





I will have closeups soon. Bear with me (especially Ori Shavit, Dev, Iceburg, and Joe).

[joexcooldude 1]

Nice CJ. I like the names of the cities, maybe i should take some hint for one of my CJs. Looking forward to closeup shots.

[dudyconstructor 40]

Nice Work!!!!!!!!

Now i can study Chemistry just looking at your city names!'); height=15 alt=Insert smilie src=https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/18.gif width=15 border=0>

FYI, there's a tiny town near here called Lithium. Named after a spring in the town that bubbles up water with traces of the stuff in it. Supposedly good for you and folks come from miles around to fill up jugs and take it home.

All in all, I'd rather live there than somewhere called Mercuryville.

Cool names - I like Arsenic (NOT sitting on razor blades....).

This CJ seems to be comming along quite nicely, but i think something needs to be done aboot that massive orengley yellow thick black cloud that is engulfing ur industrial districts , in all a good job, and nice touch with the little info things on some of ur pictures, i havent really been arsed to try and do something like that.

Just to let to know, I actually want certain industrial cities to be clouded over with pollution, but as the Sims that live nearby protest such smog, places like Mercury Lake could be clean. Salt Town has recently been changed to high tech due to the installation of several air cleaners. Others like the newly founded Xenon Prime will stay dirty and the massive amounts of traffic that flows through there and the people going to work there funds it.

Tonight there will be another update including new cities on the west Indium coast and development on the eastern side of the county.

[dudyconstructor 40]

Getting nicer. when are you going to update?!

[riffsyphon1024 4]

This is the update for Lithium County. As of August 15, Lithium County has over 1 million people living there now. Argonia is at 200,000, Silicon Bend is at 60,000, and Goldtown is over 100,000. Prometheus has also had some major work done.



A few new towns have populated and grown as suburbs to the larger ones. Included are Indium Beach, Seaborg, Nickelfield, Hypothetowne (name proposed by jbizzle), Antimony, all located around Argonia. The overall MSA should be around 350,000. New industrial centers have developed including the Xenon Prime Industrial Center NW of Argonia. Many people commute between Indium Beach, Xenon Prime and Argonia.



Within the cities are smaller, more diverse neighborhoods. In Bromine Bay: Turbine Flats, and Hydrogen Shore (name submitted by Ori Shavit). In Argonia: Argon Point, South Argon, Noble, and Argonton (Argonton is actually outside the limits of Argonia, within Seaborg).

In Prometheus, new high density commercial development has arisen to several major squares, including South Square and Pandora Square. The original downtown which was too compact to build large skyscrapers was labeled Old Prometheus while the heavy development is now known as New Prometheus. The Crossroads helps deal with massive amounts of traffic every day.



Here's a closer look at the development at Argonia, the new center of commerce (for now at least).



Xenon Prime located on the Indium Ocean next to Seaborg is filled of pollution, on purpose. There are no residents in Xenon, and we all know that pollution does not cross city lines in SC4. So Xenon is its own entity. Xenon has three mediocre beaches, Garbage Beach (guess what they dump there), Xenon Beach, and Prime Beach.



Down to Bromine Bay where most of the work has been on the new Bromine Bay International Airport, my own custom design with piece placement.



I soon found out that each piece counts as a landmark and the upkeep kills the bank account. I have been applying the money cheat in order to stay alive. My recommendation to joerg, creator of the airport set: can you please reduce the landmark upkeep charges?

Now to update a town in Eastern Lithium County. Carbington was a submission by dev. Making Carbington and its surroundings from scratch has expanded my SC4 skills. The eastern superhighway runs to the west of town, mostly going underground. I might name this portion of it after the city's submitter, dev. Thanks to the creator of the hole digger for making it much easier to create underground everything. Also just east of Carbington, at the base of Mount Carbon, is the Carbington Natl. Wildlife Refuge.

First off an overview of the town.



The area around the oil plant on Mount Carbon.



The superhighway at Carbington.



Dev's (Devin's) personal ballpark. I'll change it to baseball when I return to work on it.



Finally, an overview of the Eastern LC area.

Transportation...




and Satellite.

looks great! i do have to say those regional views look nice keep up the good work!

[mayormommy 8]

This region has really come along! I remember when you first started and it was all those undeveloped zones. It's nice to see how it came together. Here's some bunnies:

hey nice job on your cj, love it! That custom airport looks good aswell
Your satellite view looks awesome too!

Keep up the amazing work

The Census Bureau in Lithium County recently took a population count and here are the results...

Well aren't you just the critic? Been here only one month and 23 posts and you think you know everything.

[Equinox 1,209]

Looks like a really spiffy region (and its city layouts within) and the city names are great, too.

Only thing I could suggest would be using one of the water mods ... IMHO the dark blue one would make that region look fantastic.

What a shame to see.........

If you don't like a city journal, try to offer some intelligent reason or constructive criticism as to why - what's your idea of a good journal? I'm not sure if I want to see the contents of your other 22 posts or not......

 

Anyway, onto the reason I looked here, Lithium County. It's a great story and full of detail - something I really like in a CJ. Keep it up riffsyphon1024!

This update will show the new cities of Urania, Oxydelphia, and Rutherford.

First Urania. Originally Urania was located at the source of an uranium mine but an explosion in the mine forced the city to move to neighboring Lithium County. Urania is now currently situated on the northern border of Lithium County. From there the founders of the 'new' Urania could plan as they pleased, and they chose a ring layout for the city. Commercial development would be concentrated in the middle with residential on the outer ring. But they took it a step farther by putting a big park in the middle. Aptly named Urania Park, it brings the countryside back into the city.

Here's a closeup of Urania Park just before growth.



Backing out a bit, with some development.



Now the city as it is today. Let the picture do all the talking.



Finally, a closeup on the recently constructed Urania Intl. Airport (using Joerg's wonderful airport pack).



Now on to Oxydelphia and Rutherford, twin cities on the southern border of Lithium County.

Oxydelphia is like any other town; it's got its Walmart too.

The Walmart (which is my lot edit to Baco's original) sits in the main shoping district along with a Target, Home Depot, Blockbuster, and Kinko's.



Most of the residents of the southern half of Oxydelphia work at the Walmart.



And finally Rutherford, named for the scientist who modeled the atom. Rutherford is the last city on the Radon River, which you may know stretches all the all way up to Cobalt Ridge and into Platinum Peak.

Once again, I'll let the picture do the talking.



Various little communities have sprouted up on the east bank of the Radon and an interstate highway connects them to the downtown section of Rutherford.

And that's it for this update of Lithium County. LC currently stands at a total population of 1.21 million people. Stay tuned for more updates.

They look great!!!!!!!

i love this CJ!

keep the great work

those names drive me CRAZY!lol....lol

 

[+Guest]

nice update! I like your airport and the layout of your city it looks great I also like your shopping district it looks good too

Hope to see more updates

[Emma LB 22]

Looks good! Hehehe, you like Chemistry?
I like Urania park and the layout of that city. Somehow it reminds me of an cristal's structure, your grids work very well with the chemistry theme.
