An introduction to Siilijoki

Welcome to Siilijoki!

The name is pronounced (SEE-LEE-YO-KEE) and is Finnish for "Hedgehog River". I've been working on this region for just over two years and Siilijoki has been an active Mayor's Diary at SC4D for just under a year and a half.

Today's introduction is a compilation of some of my favorite pictures from Siilijoki and I've tried to include a variety of the styles of cities and pictures I enjoy creating. They are arranged in roughly chronological order, beginning with the most recent.

I'll go into much more detail regarding my city and my story going forward but for now I'd like to let the pictures do the talking :golly:

So far this is looking really good! You have a great network of highways and a beautiful region! I especially enjoyed pictures 2, 11, and 14! Keep up the awesome work and I can't wait to see more.

I love that corner building in the 17th picture! Where did you get it?

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyup, that's a good start right there. I stink at this game so you'll get no advice from me!

It looks like a delightful place to live :)

May I ask where you got the gondola in picture #5?

Thanks for the great responses everyone! I'll do full replies with the next update but wanted to post a couple requested links here first.

First, the tram skin is vester's Helsinki tram and can be found within this download on the LEX [url="https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2306"]here[/url]

Second, the corner building from #17 is the SimFox QiuTao Building, found on the STEX [url="http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23130-simfox-qiutao-building-darknite/"]here[/url] This is the darknight version but there is a link to the Maxisnight version there.

EDIT: sorry k50dude, I somehow missed your post! You can find Girafe's gondolas (from #5 as well as #10) on the LEX [url=https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2471]here[/url]. There's also a regular ski lift version of them if you look around.

I love the way you constructed your highway and its offshoots into the city, around the waterways in the 2nd picture. Amazing.
