Welcome back to the Luxengia update!Our Terraforming is now complete, and we are ready to start building! With numerous features added to the new land, we are now ready to build a perfect new city.

First, the Industrial Bowl. Although it has a river going through a lot of it, taking up precious land, and probably defeating the purpose of isolating the pollution, I needed to provide another method of transportation. Last time I used this technique, I almost needed to build a second highway to accommodate the heavy traffic going into and out of the Industrial Bowl. This river will let me put in ferries, and most importantly, Seaports. The last city had the lake as far away from the Industrial Bowl as possible, so a Seaport was futile.

Next is the river flowing into the Industrial Bowl. This will probably be the base of our civilization, because everybody likes the waterfront. It may have some disadvantages, such as getting cars into the Bowl will be difficult. You can't make diagonal tunnels, so I would not be able to create a direct route into the bowl which will result in serious difficulties once a Highway is necessary.

Finally, a little about the land that we will be building on. It is pristine and tree covered, swallowing up all the pollution that our Sims may produce.

I will update you when more information becomes available. Have a good day!

Hey cuthbert.nibbles, first of welcome to the world of CJ'ing! I do have some tip sso you can improve your cj: minimalize the control panel by pressing that "-" symbol most down at the left. Also that mountains seem a little bit to steep for being realistic, I would make them smaller but that's off course up to you. I'm looking forward to see the city devolop! :golly:

I'm also looking forward to the city development. Maybe you could make steps up the side of that mountain. Maybe just enough for one road or a road with 1x2 zones... Could look really amazing!

Can you use the camera function while minimizing the control interface? I tried it, but it didn't seem to go away. And yes, the mountains are huge... I don't know why I did that. I guess my first target wasn't realism. Thank you so much for your tips, I will take them into consideration.
