Nice work :D

I really dig these islands of farms.  The dirt roads really make them feel right. :) I like your small cbd too, really feels right that the town centralizes around that water tower. :) Though I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of that train station there.  Looks really modern compared to the rest of the Maxis buildings and the farms.

 

Great work otherwise though. :)

Nice farms and the way they're zoned on islands just makes it look all the more interesting. Great work here!

 

I also have to agree with Shortsonfire, that train station seems really out of place. Not something you'd likely find in a small farming community. Probably best to switch it with a more traditional or rual styled station IMO ;)

Hmm... while these farms certainly mark a determined break from the grid, I don't think the resulting look is very realistic, tbh. Making fields more or less rectangular (only adapting them to terrain features that cannot be changed so easily) is the most viable and efficient choice, so some of your fields just look random IMO. They pretty much give away openly that you were going to do things a little bit differently, but without a compelling reason why they'd look like this, the result looks somewhat artificial to me.

 

I also wonder whether a small island with a handful of farms on it would justify a long road bridge - actually, a small ferry station should be sufficient.

 

Just some suggestions and thoughts, of course - it's your CJ, and it's supposed to be fun for you. :)

Ooooh, pretty :)

some of those farm roads tend to be a bit sharp don't you think- if someone goes to fast they'll end up in the field

thank you for showing how a good terrain mod will improve the look of a city
using mostly original buildings I agree the train station should probably be more rural at this stage of your city's growth
(Simpeg has some really good ones)

Looks great, love to see where you go with this!

I love how you place a solitary wind turbine in a field.
