Schulmanator - Thanks a lot for the kind words.

k50dude - Thanks for your suggestions about the houses. I checked it out and went on a downloading spree! Luckily, they're starting to crop up and look great.

NMUspidey - Thanks, man!

Rivercrest Has Some Dough!

While most of Smeethe County is honest-to-goodness hard-working folk who do what they can to get by (that's our story and we're sticking to it), some people have found some money. Maybe they have some inheritance, maybe they've sold out to the corporate mega-farms, or maybe it's something else. Either way, up in Rivercrest, you can find an area nestled close to the river where the homes are just a bit bigger, the lots a tad greener, and the cars a whole lot fancier than what most of Smiithe Co. residents have.

You can always tell affluent areas by the cul-de-sacs! While this area doesn't have any fancy name, some of the people have begun calling it Big Mouth Pass. Maybe that's where some bass hang out or maybe the people in those homes just like to flap their gums...

The riverbanks here have nice pebble beaches. Not much for sunnin', but they are a great place for young ones to spend a hot summer day. Too bad it's all private property now.

Over on the other side of town, all of us God-fearin' folk that petitioned to have a new church built have had our prayers answered. While some people bow down to the almighty dollar, I'll spend my Sundays prayin' for 'em. Old County Rd. A is getting awfully crowded these days, what with the boom in population across the county. I blame that interstate that came through the region not too long ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you can see, I've tried my hand at 'beautifying' the shoreline around the 'fancy homes.' It's as far as I've gotten, and I'm still experimenting. What do you think? Successful? Any sets I should have to complete the look? BTW, the new terrain mod and water mod I have are a HUGE improvement! Thanks to those that made 'em and to 1000...0 for suggesting them!

Again, thanks for the warm welcome and positive feedback with this City Journal. I hope you enjoy reading and looking as much as I enjoy building and posting. Have a great evening!

That looks outstanding! Truly Beautiful and amazing for a first-time Cjer. Huge thanks for following our advice. Not only are the new MattB mansions making your neighborhoods look great, but also the added mayor mode ploppables to the shores of the riverbank. It is really inspiring that you were able to do this in your second entry, and I hope to see much more work from you in the future. Thanks!

Oh, and as a reply to your reply, [url="https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/journals/1490/entry-10068-flora-work-in-al-aauim/"]here is an outstanding list of sets[/url] you can use at your disposal. :thumb:

5/5, +1, your doing great bud. :yes:

I agree with my friend ten trillion here. I checked out your previous entry, and the improvement between that one and this one is impressive! Your neighborhoods and shoreline have improved ten-fold! The only major thing I would suggest is to use some more MMP's for your trees. (Heh, it rhymes!) The regular Maxis trees are kind of... ugh compared to some custom flora. Other than that, you're doing great, especially for a first CJ. :)

Good luck, and I'm excited to see more! :thumb:

10000000000000 has 13 zeros in his name. I've memorized it so that I can easily reply to him when the need arises.

Also, the beautification is great. The rocky river banks look great, I'd be more than happy to claim some o' that for myself!

Sorry to say but that list is a bit outdated, [url="https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=13459.msg388312#msg388312"]here's [/url] a more up to date list of almost all MMPS.
