OK this will probably sound like a broken record, but I love those suburbs. Your city reminds me of a Colorado Springs, only larger (and yours has a ton of water lol). But I think it may be time for some new urbanism in the central city, to make a more well-rounded city. It's just a thought, but do keep up the good work! I'll be visting again!

 I really like the Sun Valley Skyline, it looks just right, I like that you didn't put skyscrapers everywhere, Like I have seen in other CJ's. The canal adds a nice touch. Looks very european. The Sun Valley Suburbs look nice too.

    @fire47251: Welcome to Sun Valley! Thanks for your thoughtful input! Yea, I'm about to start zoning medium density around the Sun Valley downtown area.

    @DragonAnime: Thanks! Yea, I tried really hard and forced myself not to get carried away with skyscrapers cause it's not realistic at all.

    Looking good as always. 44.gif
     
    The construction pics before you show the new buildings are a great touch.  I always love those.

    The convention center looks great.

    Hi bobinator,

    Very nice job with the convention center and the addon. 29.gif

    kingofsimcity: thanks

    Darmok: Thanks for the comment! It's appreciated!
     
    All: I was working on a brand new city that would work on the storyline. It will and was going to be like Sandpoint only bigger. I was just getting pleased with it when SC4 just quit on me. Needless to say there won't be an update tonight. Look for one tommorrow. I have more time then and I know how to make the new town so it can be done quicker this time. From now on I will SAVE OFTEN.

    I like the detail you've put into the region. Nice downtown also. Just about right for the region.

    Sun Valley Times

    Mountain View looks to big things

    Mountain View- Formily a small fishing town to the northeast, Mountain View has been expanding rapidly in the past few years and will soon reach 'city status.' Its located in the rugged Alaskan Mountains next to a small lake that is connected to the ocean via river. Here are some airial and road map photos of the area.

    Here is an array of region pics and maps of the region

    I cut the unfinished part of this pic out. the highway sticks out like a sore thumb when showed not connected to anything

    @rewright: Thanks for the compliment! The detail is really tedious (you probably know) but it looks a lot better in the end.
     
    Whew, that was a big update! Hope ya'll liked it!

    The region is cool, and the cities in it are, also.  I like how the downtown is not overdone with large buildings.  Instead, just a few.  It looks realistic to me.44.gif

    Awesome job! The region view looks great, I like how you showed both the satellite view and the transportation view. Are those Jeroni's retaining walls in the pic with the highway?
