Océano County - No Cheats!

Waow, this is really amazing, and with no money cheats

Thats right

tbh I've impressed myself lol, when ever I used to play it, for aaaages all my cities would just lose money, but after cheating for years and years I realised that even though I cheated, they were all making a profit anyway haha (not due to the cheat)

That is one intense highway network! I like it!!!

Crazy Highway but i like it

Haha crazy was never the idea, I think as I play zoomed in quite far most of the time, I forget how close they all are t each other lol

This is interesting. It may spur me to start my own CJ, just because I take a different approach to "no-cheat." My focus is in getting a region to develop realistically, and I don't use cheats, either (except some DL content that isn't balanced very well). That means starting out with just a few blocks of development and a bunch of farms, and watching the cities gradually grow and interconnect. Like you, I only build highways, etc, once they're needed, but it allows things to look natural and organic, rather than just grids. There's nothing like trying to put a highway through a dense downtown area to force variety and quirkiness, like real cities have.

yeah I used to do that, but since being used to cheating my style has changed. My city really does use all them motorways though, there is also a big subway, all of which is pretty congested. I do find it interesting adding a motorway so a build up area, but in this case I made wide avenues and just put the motorways along pre planned routes to miss out demolition.
