Hey, has anyone noticed that new city on the region? Ashville City...

(4:21 PM) I circled the new city in red, also I underlined the metropolises and their respective medium tile "cities"

Let's check it out...

Ashville Metropolis has dominated the region in terms of population, and with that success, A new mayor (Dennis Brown's little brother) Zach Brown started a city North of Ashville Metropolis deemed as "Ashville City" (to it's respective large tile):

The city grew at an AMAZING rate, as being right next to the largest city in the region, the demand for R$$ and R$$$ was THROUGH THE ROOF! It grew at record speed, and boasts 200,000 sims, passing Coastland city (which only has 190,000). Although Woodland City still remains as the largest medium tile city in the region (with 220,000 sims). The whole tile is now covered, it is crazy! The regional population is now over 2 million sims!

Dennis Brown allowed this city in order to help lift the demand cap that kept Ashville Metropolis' population stuck at 751,503. He built an university (University of Ashville) and the metropolis now boasts over 800,000 Sims!

Note: The first medium tile city that is started next to a large tile-metropolis (Ex. Ashville Metropolis) Will have the same name as its large neighbor, only with "City" at the end instead of Metropolis (Ex. Ashville City) (Ex. A large tile named "Woodland Metropolis" the Medium tile next to it would be called "Woodland City")

Let's look at the insanely fast life of Ashville City (Lots of pics, be ready!)

(The start of the city)

(8:25 PM) Mostly European Style houses

This city was far different from its bigger sister city (Ashville Metropolis). Medium and High wealth dominate this city, both residential and commercial

(3:55 PM) New apartments grow

(bigger and bigger they got)

Here's a line of images:

The city has some beautiful middle-class suburbs too:

(3:45 PM)

Zach, you built a beautiful city! I love it, and at least it respects mother nature.

Thanks Mayor Jack! I can't build metropolises just yet like the big boy mayors, but I like my city. It grew so fast...

Yes, I mean you have one of the biggest city in the region to the south, and the largest industrial park west to your city. (120,000 INDUSTRIAL JOBS!!!)

Thanks, but I'm having a problem, people keep leaving my city. I need help with that.

Well, you're a young mayor, you still have a lot to learn about cities, and by the way, you might want to fix that traffic:

If you fix this traffic, that might solve your "abandoning problem"

Other than that you're doing an incredible job!

thanks bro!

No prob!

Ashville in the meantime continues its growth, with demand caps busted, the city is now free to reach the 1 million barrier, it's only a matter of time...

(Latest growth, these are the southern suburbs of Ashville Metropolis (downtown west and north).

Mayor Dennis also upgraded and built 4 Nuclear power plants around each other, which the people nearby didn't like very much...

(5:24 PM) (People protesting against nuclear power, due to the risk of meltdown)

Protests took place, as many people in the stores nearby are worried about the radiation.

(5:25 PM) The protesters eventually dispersed when they realized the plants were actually pretty safe, and they were told they would be the first ones warned if anything happened. Of course, it doesn't stop the plants from spewing radiation into the atmosphere, but as Mayor Dennis Brown always said...

"It's worth it"

Well, now we have 2 million sims living on our region, and we're really getting it developed. That Ashville Metropolis...

one heck of a city, Dennis must have 900,000 sims living in there by now. He'll reach a million really soon, but judging by the way he's built it, I don't know how long it will stay at 1 million.

My city, Coastland Metropolis remains at 560,000 but it is very stable. Here's a new residential area north of downtown:

(Roads laid out)

Here's the zones now:

(4:53 pm)

City continues to grow...

(5:35 PM) We're replacing unnecessary industrial zones with commercial, our goal is to make this city as environmentally friendly as possible.

(5:37 PM) (Western downtown)

(10:38) Same place as above, at night

I have been watching the weather channel lately, and I'm hearing that there is a lot of tornado activity near our area, (major thunderstorms nearby) but hasn't affected the Great Coast yet. Hopefully no tornadoes will come, we haven't had them in years...

See you next update!
