Dude, I've crossed the Wacker/Michigan Ave bridge for the St. Pat's Day Parade... I instantly knew that's what it was. Great job!

Nice job.... Your Chicago really looks like the posted pics... I like the way you terraformed the canals. I think it looks much better this way then using the canal pack.... Tip.. since the canals all have perpendicular or 45 degree banks it would be cool using the jeronji seawalls, I think it will make your canals look more realistic (but that's just my opinion)...

 

Good luck.

Very good.This city reminds of dc82's NYC.He made his city by the inch.Seems to me that you have done the same with Chicago.It must be very stressful to do something this large and difficult

AH MAN! Thats Awesome! I like the use of Library Tower next door to Sears Tower. Thats really good, looks just like the city. What did you use for lake point towers? Are you going to put Trump Tower in? How did you do the Chicago River? And Navy Pier? Only 1 problem, no Chicago Board of Trade. Someone with BAT skills should do that. If they did, I'd love em.... in a friend sort-of-way... ummm..... good job.... (',)

That looks GREAT.  Can you upload the downtown area into the downloads if you don't mind? I would really like to look at it in the game.

    GovJohn for the lake point towers i manage to grow a Zaidi Aparments tower since its the closet thing that resembles it, trump Tower I dont know if I'm going to use it last time I seen it It looked too bulky and short but I know there was an update of it I have to look into it, and yes I am mssing the Chicago Board of Trade building I been saving that spot for that day when somebody finally makes it on a 4x4 lot..2.gif

    I really hope we get all these chicago bat's someday like the Harold Washington Library(just dying to have a new bad ass library), NBC tower,900 N Michigan Four Seasons and the Wacker drive towers as well..44.gif

    Great job on your Chicago region.  Downtown looks fantastic.  I live in the Chicago area and can testify that your recreation is visually accurate.  Keep up the good work.


    BTW, are going to develop more areas of your region?

    I will definitly put it up or download as soon as its done, but i would think you would have to have all the plugin files in order to display the city correctly, i currently have 656 files in my plugiun folder!

    My gooooodness!!!Thats a helluvalotta plug-ins!!! Do you ever experianceany crashes or anything? I hadproblems on a different pc, and just boughta new one  and screen each plug-in vigorously and individually,push them by doing different things in the game that would lag it up to see if it would crash.I onlynoticed a couple of things a little bit hariy on my systemand thats seems to come from having multipleplug-ins in alotta different subfolders and having twoor three particular lots or bats that seemed to crash me back to the desktop , Idont wanna say what they are in case I'm wrong. But anyway Nice CJ I live in the area as welland it looks pretty darn good. I can see where I'v worked before.44.gif
