In my CJ Heimen, the background information has always been one of personal favourites. During two years I made a lot of newspapers, transport maps, flags, road signs and more. In this update I have a compilation of some of the best of those I have made. I hope you like it!

Roadgeekery

Road signs give an extra dimension to the highway system, or actually any road showcased in a CJ. I made a couple of road signs for my CJ, most of them involved some sort of ‘road trip’

The first road trip was along the river Tuur. The road passed along a lot of small rural villages, below are a couple of my favourite pictures from

this update.

Media

Newspapers are always a nice addition to a CJ, I’ve never been really good at making them myself though. I did make a couple and, inspired by the CJ Utgard, I plan to make some more in the near future. Telvision channel TVH also showed its face one time. HeimenTourism has been the most loyal advertiser…

As I didn’t want to spam you to dead with even more pictures, making for an endless loading time, the second half of this update will be released later this week.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Fantastic! I love how the towns are expanding along the river. Very realistic.

:)

@Ggamgus: That’s exactly what i tries to achieve, thanks!

Nice Region view, Nice to see how it developed

:golly:

@Republicmaster: Thank you very much! I won’t stop expanding it!

Love these regional pictures..

I think the new terrain and water mod makes the area look totally different from the first pictures with the maxis original.

@Fox: I’m glad I converted to terrain mods, thanks!
