Truly amazing job Jeroni! This is a wonderfully inspiring CJ.

Hi Jeroni,
Superb job as always, and I agree with MayorTim about the lots, one thing that we cruelly lack in SC4 are triangular lots like some of your fences...

And when looking at pic 40.9 I had a sense of d

Thanks for the info Swamper....

Hey Jeroni your sweet fence lots inspired me to do my own, they need a little work but I hope you dont mind me showing you a picture...

Great work as usual.  You've got a knack for the rural as well as the urban. 

If you need testers for your lots (if you're going to release any of those at all), lemme know- I'd be honored to test them (and I even have a newly cleaned Parks&Rec menu!) 

 

BTW: AfroThunda, that fenced park looks awesome.

These pages just keep flying by! Great work jeronij!

Which modds, props you use for your landscaping? Such as trees, side walks, I cant for life of me find these on stex grass, and terrain. your city looks realistic and i'm trying to make my cities look like this.

Sorry jeronij, I don't want to spam your CJ, but, Afro, your lots are really nice!

You have a most impressive city, and your advice in other forums have proven to be most valuable.  Thank you for helping my city, Midgar, (FF7 reference for those who noticed) grow and look more authentic.  That being said, how do you go about making a tunnel under a river?  Is this possible?  I want to try and create a tunnel from my mainland out to an island.  Is this possible?  The game has yet to let me do this.

[bobinator 0]

@TXDemocrat: To make an underwater tunnel you make a strip of land from the mainland to the island by holding ctrl+alt+shift and going to god mod tools. Next you go back to mayor mod and build a tunnel from the mainland to the island under your strip of land. Finally you go back to god mod (ctrl+alt+shift and click on god mod tools) and lower your strip of land. Now you have your underwater tunnel. Just whatever you do to the strip of land don't get too close to your tunnel entrences with the water tool because if you do you'll buldoze the tunnel. Hope that helps!

Great city journal jeronij!

Well, I've been following this CJ since its inception, and I have to say that the quality of the landscape is unmatched.  I think Jeronij now deserves the title of Master Terraformer.  Interestingly enough, some of the pictures that have been posted are of such photographic quality, that they remind me of my own real-life hometown.  Keep up the good work, Jeronij.  You have inspired many a city-builder.

Hey Jero

Sorry, to spam me too: AfroThunda VERY nice work!

TxDemocrat: Follow the link about tunneling in Jeroni's signature it'll explain all. Very good thread!

And now we resume our regular programming... back to you Jero..

[crazyarchitect 7]

OMG!!!!!!!    I just took about 2 days to read this journal, you have some very awesome talent, very awesome job and I can't wait to see some more of your great networks and everything

jeronij, as always your work continues to astound. I wanted to give you the link you were asking for in that amazing Omega thread (worried you might not go back and see it if I posted it there).

Afro, very nice park.

Sorry to dig up an old query but, i got those oil tanks from the German site, but can't tell if they are ploppable, growable, or whatnot. They don't show up in any menu thats for sure, and i havn't seen them grow in my (predominatly) manufacturing industrial zones.

BTW, is that a BP petrol station i see? Is that on the STEX?

And the park/Fench lots look excellent.

[pansarkatt 2]

I love update 40!! I looked and looked and looked, just couldn't get enough. Please never stop updating this CJ, it's one of my best sources of inspiration!

The petrol stations are by Deadwoods, and are on the STEX, just search his name or DP. As for the oil tanks, I have them in game and it took ages for them to show up and they are still not common but they are around.

 

First time post, but I have been lurking and following this CJ since page one, it was then and still is the best on the forums. Keep up the good work, I am sure I am not alone in saying that I am continually inspired to build more realistic and beautiful citys by what I find here.

[Pixter 0]

it's still great! LOL, I'm looking forward to your new lots!

[jeronij 13]

Hello Columbia River visitors, welcome again and enjoy your stay here !!!

You will have to excuse for not answering earlier to all of your lovely posts, but I

[AfroThunda 1]

Great update! Nice farms, and just so you know I started my CJ finally!! You have inspired me a lot, thanks again!

[Edit] I think I just turned into a Suburbanite

[DaMaster_architect 0]

whoa, jeronij! your CJ is getting better and better! Those farmlands look so lovely...

anyway, sorry if maybe this question is already answered, but: where did you get the spanish lots?

 

and just keep going with this CJ! I hope it will never end

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

BEAUTIFUL!!! Nothing in particular, all lovely!

[bobinator 0]

That town kind of has a nice laid back feeling to it! Great job jeronij! It looks like a nice little European town!

[Dathek 0]

Simply beautiful, showing more of the development in this update reveals why your CJ is so great. I am really enjoying this more rural feel - I love the country and Son Moix looks like the real thing.

Also I share your frustration at the Dirt Roads mod, I had all kinds of problems switching from city to city with it.

[Beloved 2]

Wow Jeronij that's really amazing. Also i noticed in picture 41.4 and below, the dirt roads had a mix with dirt and regular Maxis roads. Why is that? Im guessing its the commercial buildings but im not sure.

But other then that Super Job Jeronij. Can't wait for the next update.

[MallowTheCloud 41]

Wow, Jeroni! I love this update! I don't know why, but that zoomed out view (41.7) reminds me of playing Sim City on the Super Nintendo!

So great! I wish I had the skills that you have, but then I think that would ruin the originality of your cities, Jeroni... so actually I'm glad I don't.

As always, keep up the great work Jeroni!

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, you are now the fifth most visited CJ on all of Simtropolis! Congratulations!

[dhoppeii 12]

Once again a flawless update....WTG

Wow... just wow... you give your cities a real feeling to it.. with the seasonal trees and the water with the farms and its just absolutely amazing.

What an amazing output!!

41.7 When I finally was satisfied with the new trees lots, I proceed to change the general appearance by making those Mediterranean houses grow. Just zone 1x1 HD residential tiles, place some Spanish landmarks, and voil

  Very Nice update, I am liking this Agriculture look for you cities, Its kinda wierd seeing the Medditaranean houses in that rural looking area. I love your water mod too, What PEG water mod are you using ? I have noticed that some of the water from Joerg's water mod will change to a Darker color if you use PEG's rock mod.
