New Philadelphia

Welcome/Teaser (Update 01)

Welcome to New Philadelphia. This update is simple and to the point. I know it's not much but I hope to have more in the coming weeks.

This is New Philadelphia. The name comes from the fact that I live in Philadelphia and that this region represents a fresh start for my SimCity experience. All of the city names come from neighborhoods or towns that surround the real world Philadelphia. New Philadelphia is a modern place, home to many different types of people. The main plan for this region is for me to have fun. There's no major story line that goes along with it, just me having fun. Below is a teaser shot of the first "real" update. It's of the town of Grays Ferry. A mostly agricultural community, Grays Ferry is the basis of the new region. Most Sims come here for the "small town" feel. The master plan for this city is to develop a modern suburb that will gradually spread to the city limits giving me a good base society ready for neighboring high density cities.

Some basic info about Grays Ferry:

Population (City/Region): 5131/5131

Main industry: Agriculture

Commercial jobs: 2662

Industrial jobs: 2138

That's all for now. Thanks for reading!

Note: I'm in the process of recovering from a hard drive failure. I've lost all of my SimCity files including past regions, so I'm starting fresh. I need to draw up graphics for the journal so please pardon the rough appearance. If you have any tips/suggestions for how the journal entries should be laid out let me know. Thanks.

Update: Since I'm a big road geek I'm going to go for a road sign theme for the journal. The banner above is just a rough sketch I made up in Word. Once I get Photoshop installed I'll get more detailed.

Update 2: Okay, the banners above are the final Photoshop creations. Let me know if you like them.

Very promising, I can't wait from more of you, and good luck on a new region. Are you going to make this a vanilla, or modded CJ?

For a vanilla township, it looks really beautiful

It'll be interesting to see future updates!

Good start. Btw, if you want to make it become a modded CJ, I recommend you to add some farms and houses BATs now. A terrain, water, and tree mod may be good too. Good luck !
