[wouanagaine 84]

It's seems that this place will be great . I can't wait for developed pictures !

[magpieshooter 1]

MMM looks nice!

[jacqulina 162]

dont worry i can wait but yes wonderfull preview /teaser pics

[teddyrised 1]

A warm welcome back to Botania! I am really sorry that Botania still showed some sign of semi-hibertaion after I announced it to be active a few days ago. Bleh got 2 surprise tests yesterday... okay, let's forget about tests now. I can relax and play my region again

In this update, we will be looking at Crater City. It is located at the centre north of the region, on a BIG city tile. No wonder the game lags a little when I rotate the map (since I've a 512 ram only). It is originally a city full of trees, but the suburb expansion forces city engineers to eat into the sacred land of forests and untouched vegetation.

So now, I'm proud to present you CRATER CITY!

Guess that's all for this update. Well, since Crater City is so big, there next few updates will be about the city too! Exciting features like Crater City's mosiacs and Botania's first massive memorial park are in the next few updates.

So, stay tuned! Thanks for reading this CJ... hope you've enjoyed reading it.

@bat: Thanks for your compliment!

@sloppet: Hey dude thanks for dropping by! Well, hope you find the region view interesting!

@Fabiocb: Yup! Botania is planning for the next massive suburb expansion... but it depends whether I have enough time to complete the suburb expansion Thanks for commenting!

@wouanagaine: Glad to see you here again, my friend Hope you enjoyed viewing this latest update, since there are lots of developed pictures of the city posted...

@magpieshooter: Awww your comment is as sweet as a strawberry milkshake

@jacqulina: Thanks for commenting! Hope to see you around

Thanks for visiting this CJ, everyone!

Really great work Terry

You still amazed me with how you setup the trail park all around

And the 45

Really great city/farmland. All that traffic through the farming community makes me wonder what those farmers have to deal with to get their needed supplies. lol

Besides that, awesome job! Can't wait for more.

[Gridlock 9]

Awesome cj buddy ,think you must put more hours in then me ,lol ,great work keep it up .

[simfreak9 0]

Excellent update-Great work!!

[jacqulina 162]

excellent updates you have done a wonderfull job with the farmland and the pics are great

[teddyrised 1]

Hi all! Presenting you Crater City's one and only mosiac (I am considering whether to post a few more mosiac if I have the time...)

Next update featuring Crater City's Memorial Park! Stay tuned, folks...

@wouanagaine: Thanks a lot for your support! Well, having the diagonal houses grow along diagonal roads are easy. At first the lot has been set to grow when it has 2 sides of road access, so what I need to do is just to enture that the residential zone is 2X2 big and the tileset should be only Euro Comtemporary (to increase the chance of the house to grow on the 2X2 lot). Sometimes pateince is really needed when some stubborn houses keep growing on the same spot

@Micah: Thanks for your compliment! Hmm, I don't really get the meaning of this:

All that traffic through the farming community makes me wonder what those farmers have to deal with to get their needed supplies. lol quote>

Sorry! *whooops* Thanks for dropping by!

@Gridlock: Lol I have to admit that I invest more and more time improving the asthetics of the suburbs, making this CJ progressing at a rather slow speed... thanks for commenting.

@simfreak9: Thank you!

@jacqulina: Thanks a lot for your comment! Hope to see you around.

[wouanagaine 84]

Impressive mosaic !

I have not cleary sense the feeling of Crater City with the previous update, this mosaic make it !!

Keep it up !

[Shadow Assassin 336]

You know, the funny thing is, you make Crater city seem bigger than it actually is. Nonetheless, congrats on such a nice city in this tile. It looks awesome. When will we see the crater itself?

[teddyrised 1]

@wouanagaine: Thanks for commenting! Thanks!

@shadow_assassin: Oh dear, I am such a forgetful person! I introduced Crater City to you all and yet I forget to feature the main city's attraction, the crater itself! Bah~  ok, I promise that the crater will be featured in the next update

@wouanagaine: Hey dude, thanks for commenting! Well, I got this idea from the movie Wolf Creek where this 3 backpackers went to visit this crater... ok, forget about the gory part in the later part of the movie (yucks)... and one day I stumbled upon the Slaytfork Mill by onlyplace 4 on STEX. You can get it here. If not mistaken it is self powered, so you can built it anywhere deep in the woods or in the mountians.

@spikeydarren: Thanks a lot for your compliment! Actually CJ is not onbly about effort, but also about creativity and how you present your city to all the Simtrops people

@ThomasAH: Hey, thanks for your comment! I'm glad that you will choose that place to relax and unwind

@bat: Thanks for dropping by, bat!

@simfreak9: Haha, that's what I've learnt from shadow_assassin Thanks for commenting anyway!
