Wheaton Region

[Sticksboi05 2]

 

 

    Welcome to my new City Journal, the Wheaton Region.  This is not based off any real life cities (ex: Wheaton, MD).  I will be using the Boston map by modelcitizen.  A few of the mods I am using include the NAM-October Version, Urban Housing Mod, and the Realistic Water Mod.  I'm also using a bunch of props and buildings from the STEX.  Without further or due, the region on Wheaton.

 

 

 

 

City Summary: Gaithersburg is a small city in northeastern Wheaton.  It has a long coastline allowing for a ferry terminal and eventual seaports.  The city consists of mainly medium wealth houses.  Commercial Gaithersburg is mostly low level businesses and restaurants.  The current population is 5,059.

  I'm glad so many of you replied to my first update.  This will be my last update before I go on vacation so enjoy!

 

 

 

 

City Summary: Centreville is just to the east of Gaithersburg.  The town is even smaller then Gaithersurg but is just as important to the region's economy.  The industrial sector of Centreville provides jobs to many Sims including those in Gaithersburg .  The small medium wealth town is home to around 1,050 Sims.

VERY nice start! I love your suburbs, especially the commercial area in your second picture. I'd seriously consider living in a suburb like that.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas, and a great vacation!

    Really beautiful....  I was just about to ask you about that parking lot in the 'Seaside Cottages' photo.  but I realized that it was part of PEG's Tennis Park....  (which i've already downloaded but failed to use)  You used it great.  I'd like to see more!!!!

Not bad your twons. They do have that special small-town resp. suburb-feeling. Good use of the churches - they are were they should be.

I just would put in there some more railway tracks for eyecandy - it just looks better.

    It's been a long while since my last update.  Sorry for the long wait.  In the meantime I have founded a new city (Rockville) and improved the others of the region.  And now....the next update.......

 

City Summary: Rockville is a large port city west of Gaithersburg.  The population is mostly $$ and around 5,000 Sims live in the city.  Rapid development is expected in the following months.  The city also serves as a main rail terminal for the region.
