    Hahaha - Voulpiotis , dude now thats a serious accusation ,lol , well realy , apart from Nam , the only cheat i have or use as such is, some of my industry such as the Souh bats , they have maybe 2000 industrial jobs , but , .But they are only growable bats , no plop files , so my region must have sufficent demand to grow them, i dont use any cheats and every city is grown with 100,000 start .if i was using cheats , the amount of hours i put into this , the region would be about 3 trillion big.

    its grown some so i thought id update.

    Replies 

            Jaquilina - Thankyou ,so pleased you enjoyed the pics

            Voulpiotis- Hey , lol 100 million , now thats sick .But

                        you never know , maybe one day.

            Giligone - Hi Thx for dropping by , I will do another regional census shot

                       but as the region is so big the pic isnt that great when i resize.

            Schulmanator-Heya , Thnx shuly im,pleased you enjoyed the ped mall

            Voulpiotis - I did try to get the correct buildings to grow for the ped mall

                         but its quite difficult, it did turn out ok , so pleased you

                         noticed .PS , I hope i can live up to ur expectations with the next

                         port city ,i kinda got side tracked , and been spending my time in

                         other parts of the region but i will do more work on it soon.

    Here s a selection of shots of New Ark, i intentionaly left the UI in some

    pics to give you a feel of the city .Because Taxes are high for R$$$ at the mo it looks like

    resi demand is negative , but thats not the case for R$+$$

    Finally, New Ark! That's stunning work! 6,4 million, without the R$$$ skyscrapers! I'm really impressed by your patience (500 years!) to build that city. As for the Industrial demand, is it mostly dirty and manufacturing? You can search in the STEX for some growables of great capacity to "eliminate" (well, partly satisfy) the demand. Looking forward to the industrial port!

    Hey Guys , Well RL seems to have increased its pace on me at the moment so

    ive had a lot less time to play ,but i do have an update ,this citiy has taken

    about a month upto now, so you can see how much play time i havent had .

    Replies - Jaquilina, Hi jacky , well when it comes to SC4, our build stlyes

            are definately chalk and cheese ,by comparison , but im real pleased your

            still enjoy my cities, thx for calling .

            Salbador - Hey , nice to see you again, and thx for the compliment.

            Voulpiotis - Heya ,yes , New Ark is reaching finally although

            there is still some growth potential in there so it could be a few months

            time before i finaly close the door on New Ark and move on.The industry in

            New Haven is id estamate , as mostly M , HT , and some dirty but only maybe

            150,000 dirty ind jobs in the whole region if that , i used the demand for

            Cs$ and Cs$$ , to increase poplutation , i then gave them all a great education

            so High tech industry has always been in massive demand .I prolly have a very high

            % of meduim and high wealth residents in the region.And all the low wealth residents

            jobs at the large Co buildings,CS and manufacturing .Dirty industry is good for

            kickstarting a region , as it brings in sims that can then be educated, but after that

            dirty industry kinda becomes obsolete as education levels rise.obtw 500 years on slow

            speed as my pc would crash if i tryed to work the city on anything faster.

           Voulpiotis - 2nd Comment -Voulp wrote :What The Hell!: Reply - Sorry , i know i did

           promise you a seaport , which is overdue , im working on it and will deliver as soon as

           possible , thx for your patients -) .lol

           Natuurzoon - Heya , fingers crossed the city is still running for now , but the time you

           mention will come , when the city demand plummets and never recovers fortunately im not there yet. 

           Thx also im pleased you enjoyed the ped mall , its my first one , hopefully gonna try more.

          

           GMT- Heya , Thankyou , well i got a lil bit more for you , hope its ok -) .

           HomeAndAway - Hey , thankyou for dropping by and leaving such a nice comment.

           ExiL3- Hello welcome  , thx pleased you enjoyed the city and yes your correct the pic

           im using is indeed Sao Paulo.Ive never been and when i saw the pic of the city i was like omg

           that is so unrealistic ,its just right for my city .

           Voulpiotis - Thx -) .

    Here s a selection of photos from my latest town/city in New Haven,a historical industrial

    town also the home of Saint Anns Cathederal and traditional Clotted Cream.The town is

    connected by Canal system and rail to a large port , some 16 km away.Plans to build a highway

    in the city were scrapped after protests by local residents and farmers.Sweat shops and processed

    sugar industries are the two largest employers in the city.
