[sloppet 3]

[Darmok 34]

helomoto
Thanks helo!

mayormommy
Aha!... You were right!
And please keep on writing your stories! I really think you're good at it! 
If you want a good example at how things can start for a writer perhaps you could read Cive Cussler and Dirk Pitt revealed! Very interesting and funny!
For your own pleasure, and ours please continue!

Thanks YAH, and when the diagonal street mod will be done, I guess that we'll have more options with those winding roads.

dhoppeii
Thanks dhoppe, I must say that my way of playing the game changed a LOT since Jeroni's SCR. It takes more time, but It's so much rewarding!

The dairy farm, is Nexis Mega Dairy Farm by mrbisonm here's the link : https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?mode=files&filetype=BAT&Str=nexis%20mega%20dairy%20farm

As always it's good to read you
Take care

DragonAnime
Hey dragon!
Glad you appreciate my rural side!  Still learning, looking at dhoppeii's La Plaisance County, and trying to adapt it to the Anduin Valley style.  Thanks! And I hope that you like the fact that your name was given to the beach! I thought that it sounded well and had a certain legendary feel about it Dragon Beach!

kingofsimcity
The honor is mine, and after all the name you suggested was so good AND simple that it fit in VERY WELL.  So it was a natural thing to include your name in it.
Thanks for your always so detailed comments,  I really appreciate the way you analyze the pictures.
The apartments in the fishing village are Berlin Set Part 1 R ver. 1.5 by erdmoebel and here's the link : https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?mode=files&filetype=BAT&Str=berlin%20set%20%20part%201%20%20r

If you make a research on the STEX with Berlin you'll find a lot of those great bats.
And as for whats north, wellll... that's another story.
Take care

nooneatall
Thanks a lot, nooneatall, that suggestion is great!  Never thought about it before, sometimes the simpler things are the least obvious. REALLY a big thank you.

decola
Thanks decola, for your kind words, and the transportation map will follow in the next update.
 
jacqulina
Thanks jacqulina, always good to read your comments!

godwin1020
Sorry to say, godwin that I flushed practically every beach lot in my plugin directory.  
After seeing how much more natural the beaches looked without all the clutter and parking spaces.
I prefer now to use only the beach mod and separate parking lots like jeroni's or peg's lot. And this way it looks more like the beach we have in my hometown where you have to walk a few minutes in trails to get there.
Thanks for your regular support!

aldara
Thanks, aldara. I was thinking that it was a remnant of the old set.
I should have precised that I'd like the one tile width with the new look, that is without those huge rocks each side of it. Would blend more naturaly. We can do it with those with a litlle more terraforming.
But anyway it's not even a critic  on the new set cause I love it!  It's just a personal whish.

Sorry that I didn't YET post on your CJ, I'm reading it right now! I'm now at page two, and so far I like it!  Expect a post in the following days!
Thanks a lot for your time and help!

sloppet
Thanks sloppet!

 

Next update is brewing!

 

Take care

Great update. I'm glad I don't have to park at that school!

[Chris M 406]

Hey Darmok, I didn't even notice that to you now saying that. Thanks and that is a great idea, I like the sound of it, Dragon Beach. Thanks it is a great honor.

-DragonAnime

[godwin1020 1]

then i shall say the sand of the beach is a bit white

[Darmok 34]

ma8thew
Thanks Ma8thew, and just to inform you, you're the next in line for your passport! And for the parking, see below!

Dragon
Don't mention it, I really think that it does have a mysterious ring to it!

godwin
It is a bit white, I'll try to fin a photograph of the beaches at home and post one you'll see!

And now...

Here's another chapter in the life of Cair Andros. (Without any commercial breaks mind you!)

Update 4
Miscellaneous.

We can see that the contractor who builds the house is a funny guy! Must have been a postal worker in a previous life! (note that the situation was corrected a few days later)

 

 

The wharf sector is growing rapidly, to the discontentment of the older fishing folks  who're looking elsewhere to continue their trade in the old fashion way.

 

The Goober Coop is coming to town.

 

 

The mayor chose a quiet corner of town to install his mansion.

 

 

Some global shots. You'll notice the new High School, which will be demolished a little bit later, I had so many problems with my PC at that time that I tought that this bat was part of the problem. Was replaced by Madison High school later.

 

 

 

 

 

Some terra_farming ... Oh all right it's not my best joke, but still...

 

The terraforming of the hill near the schools, That hill is named.... The Hill. (for now)

 

The cemetary district is a quiet part of town! And the old fishermans decided to move in that nice little cove.

 

 

And a last shot of the mayor's mansion

 

Here's how the parking problem has been solved at the school.

 

And to finish this update, a transportation map as requested by decola, and a satellite view.

 

So here it is people. Update 4

Thanks again for all your great support.

Take Care

[decola 0]

Wow, i love how elaborate the transportation network is, and the region view looks really good.. not much i can say now, its like 00:40 here *yawn*

keep up the good work

[sloppet 3]

great update!! very nice pics!

[Ma8thew 77]

I love how you work on this city on a very personal level. And the parking looks a lot better.

[aldara6166 109]

Darmok,

 

Wow!  I can't believe you said you have no imagination   You so do, and if you don't believe me just re-read your own CJ! 

 

Gotta say I just feel so sorry for the old guys...having to move and all that.  But, so is the progression of commerce...SO LONG SUCKERS!! 

 

On the serious side, this CJ is just totally great.  I like the update, especially the mayor keeping some solitude for himself...nice touch.

 

Can't wait for the next update!! 

 

aldara (Jason)

[Chris M 406]

Hey, Darmok

The update was very large and that is great, I loved all of the pictures, especially the region view, and the transportation view. The wharf shot was really amazing, I like the berlin buildings above the ship, looks really nice. Till later my amigo, later.

-DragonAnime

[dhoppeii 12]

Wow, that sure is alot of traffic in front of the first Brown Box, er farm I mean....

I really like the layout of the wharf area especially with those european apartment buildings....I like all the pine trails (of course) throughout the whole area as seen in many of the pics from this update....

 

Terra-Farming....Millions of comedians out of jobs and you're telling jokes like that?

 

Don't know if I understood you correctly, The high school seen in pic 4_12, you think that lot was causing you problems?  I hope not, cause that is a great looking lot....

 

I love how you have the cemetary right near the water....Looks great there.

 

The region shots look fantastic......I just love those regional pictures....

 

BTW, I am still trying to find the name of the lot you asked me about....

 

Regards

 

 

[kingofsimcity 5,739]

Wow Darmok! Incredible update!

The city is looking better and your attention to detail is terrific!

4_01 Quite a postal worker eh? I guess the UPS took quite a while to get that package to the Address... 1117 Jeroni Way...

4_02 How many people are ordering buildings over the internet? And that tiny palm tree growing on dead gras looks kind of odd...

4_03 Natrual and Beautiful. I'm speechless on what PEG has done to beautify cities.

4_04 Goober Coop looks great. I wonder the people at the high school across take science trips every day...

4_05 The Flammable tank...it isn't going to blow is it?  And what are those storage tanks hidden nexts to the building and the fence on the right of the pic...I see balloons too....yes...very odd for a coop...

4_06 Ahh Tresspassers! Guards! Get them! *hears maching gun* lol

4_07 I guess that tour bus on the corner would attract more uninvited guests to the mayor's house.

Number of Uninvited Guests: 4,532

4_08 Wow, those rice paddies look awesome! And that Brink Real Estate seems to be quite a target for terrorists?

4_09 I love how you used mrB's lots to make that creative look!

4_10 Eek! What a giant box! Are they killing termites or something? Or they put it there so no one know that the UPS forgot the stuff inside....

4_11 Yeah...not your best joke....lol whats with the funny farm with no field?

4_12 The Hill of Doom suits it! Lets make extremely steep slopes and 32 people died their. dumdumdum...

4_13 Warning: Never enter at night. Weird sightings...

4_13a Thats a old and abandoned port. I wonder if crooks hide there...hmmm...are those boats floating?

4_14 Arrgh! Snipers....poof...Ok....lol

4_15 Good...now about those kids falling of the cliff....

4_16 That is an awesome transportation map! I never knew Cair Andros was on an Island...

4_17 Awesome shot of all cities! Any chance we will be seeing more of Dol Amroth and Anfalas?  

 

*Pants...Falls on floor after typing*

Great work as always amigo!

 

Take Care!

Regards,

KOSC

[mtbrocket 2]

I like it. I like it. I like it.

[jacqulina 162]

so pretty i love the global shots and the transportation map is awesome

[Shadow Assassin 336]

I like it.

Looks like someone's gotta bribe those protestors outside the Mayor's Mansion.

And as always, nice boxes.

[your_adress_here 11]

Looks great! Hmm...you would do a good job moving the high school, it looks totaly out of place. And those dambed boxes! Don't ya just hate them! Another thing I noticed is the fact that you have alot of skyscrapers. Did they all grow?

Anyways, keep up the good work!

[godwin1020 1]

Darmok, i'm starting a new cj, and i want your suggestion, zoning and advice

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//La%20sortie-00%201%2051114915404.jpg align=baseline>

[Superstar 69]

Wow! What an amazing city and CJ to both view and read, it's always best to have what's in the pic written down on the pic itself. VERY well done

[aldara6166 109]

godwin1020,

 

I have a few suggestions for you.  But, I don't feel it's right to impose on D's CJ.  Start a new CJ thread and I'll offer my suggestions. 

[Darmok 34]

 

decola
Thanks decola, 00:40! That means you're where? Australia?
 
sloppet
Thanks sloppet!

Ma8thew
Thanks Ma8thew, very nice comment, yes I kind of pouring myself in that CJ as I said in the beginning, that I would try to make a region in which I'd really want to live in! Oh and please read all that post!
 
aldara6166
Thanks for those compliments, as for the old fishemens I think that they like it a lot better at their new place, and for the location of the Mayor's house, I always try to put it in a nice place.

DragonAnime
Hey Dragon,
Glad you like the wharf, I really like those lots, very realistic and eye candy!
Thanks a lot for you support, really appreciate it!

dhoppeii
hey dhoppe,
yeah lots of traffic,  I think I'll modify some NAM settings to see if it could improve things if not, well I'll do my best.
What! you don't like my terra_farming joke!  Well there goes my plan for an alternative career!
Yep, I thought it was, cause the first one I had, was bugged the lot was updated though, downloaded  the new one, but the problems persisted, so I thought that it was incompatible with my particular setup. Was not the case, and the whole area is now remodeled with the Madison High school, but I'll use the Somy school in anther city that's for sure. And I agree it's a great looking lot.

Thanks for the cemetary comment! I tried several plces before that one!

And for the lot, don't make that, a national emergency, if you find it fine if not I'll manage.
Take care friend!

kingofsimcity

Hey KOSC

Thanks man! Those comments of yours always, make me laugh! LOL
You sure you're not a bit trigger happy? machine gun, snipers, terrorists, Hill of doom! LOL
Thanks for the humor!
As for Dol Amroth, here's a little peek

Hope you liked it!
See you next update!

jacqulina
Thanks jacqulina, always there to give us a nice pat on the back, it's REALLY appreciated! And by the way I think that it's the first time I see you using the word awesome!
 
Shadow_Assassin
Hey S_A!
Bribe, you say bribe.... no no no... they were there for my birthday!....  (Is it credible enough? I'm practicing my speech for the press conference)
Thanks for the comments. And don't worry the brown boxes will eventually disappear.

your_adress_here
Hey YAH!

I agree for the school, but it would mean too much reworking the whole setup, and as I'm working on Dol Amroth now... Well it's kind of a bit of RLS in the CJ, sometimes the location is not perfect due to certain circumstances!
The skyscrapers in Minas Tirith for the most part grew, in Anfalas I could say that the rate is around 50/50.
Thanks for your continuous support YAH, always glad to read you!
 
godwin1020

Very nice map godwin, allright, here's how I see it, but please remember that this is only my own opinion, if I were you I'd go with how I feel!

Here it is: light blue definitely tourism! Hotels, parks restaurants marinas. Bright green mix of High rise (commercial AND residential), orange: some kind of natural preserve, lots of park only a ferry connection no bridges. RED : VERY high wealth residentials. YELLOW Industrial seaport , industry and commerce, kind of fuschia color Airport. The rest gradually go down from mid rise to suburbs and agriculture.

[kingofsimcity 5,739]

Hey Darmok!

 

The Dol Amroth preview looks very interesting and I like that park. Very Tranquil and Intriging, unless of course people on top of the J Phillips throw papers out their windows every day...hmmm...

Best of Luck on the Next update!

 

Regards,

KOSC

 

[Chris M 406]

Hey Darmok,

Dol Amroth looks nice, what I could see of that sneak peak, I see we are going to have some nice skyscrapers in there. I see Kd5rax's York tower and DT's J Phillip tower, looks like a nice park next to them too, anyway I am looking forward to the next update, Dol Amroth already makes me want to droll, later amigo.

-DragonAnime

[oroen 0]

Cair Andros looks great! The layout of the streets by the mayor's house is so pretty! And that's a nice little trail with stairs in the sneak peek.

[your_adress_here 11]

Looks great! You know how much I love previews, so I can't wait to see more of the one you just showed us!

[creilmann 0]

Thank God you put a fence around that school!

 

One stray kickball and ........

 

Great update as usual Darmok.

[Cjah 15]

This C.J. is very detailed....

You've done a great job so far!
