  1. 1. If you would move to one the cities in this update, which one would it be?


After the Valley Metropolitan Planning Committee (VMPC) announced the Lakefront District Project, tons of developers flocked to the vast farmland that will soon become one of the largest business districts in the Pacific Northwest. Many tried protesting against development, some even started a riot at a construction site that injured 19, killed 4, and delayed construction by 4 months. None of this anti-urbanism worked and the project continued and expanded. Today, the Lakefront District and a combination of many other areas have caused Kellan's farmland to shrink from 12.4 square miles to 1.9 square miles. Because of this, many say Kellan has lost its small town feel forever.

Here in North Kellan, some farms is seen along with Hillary R. Clinton High School, serving 2,345 students. Some say that students steal food when ripe from the farms at night, but they have never been caught.

Here are some farms along the border of Kellan and Lake Jillan. Many people in these expensive homes say that the nearby farms increased their interest in buying here.

Kellan Acres, a small community in the middle of all the farmland. Some mansions can be seen in this picture, the developer says that some celebrities brought land in the community and even some farmland.

A small shopping and entertainment area that caters to the 132,000 residents of North Kellan, who many prefer to stay in this semi-farming community instead of venturing out into the big city.

This is the Western Curve of the Lakefront Express, which can easily be seen from any map. Thanks to improved mass transit, rush hour traffic isn't as bad in this picture as it formerly was.

This is the not-so-noticeable border between Kellan and Burb, the smallest city in the Kellan Metropolitan Area and one of the smallest cities within an urban area in Henderson.

This is the Eastern Curve of the Lakefront Express, also visible on a map (don't judge me on the avenue I was lazy). Traffic here is slightly higher than it formerly was due to increased development in Burb.

More farms in Burb.

Here we see Chandler Creek, which goes through Chandler, Chandler Canyon, and Burb.

As we venture down south we run into Downtown Chandler, which, despite Chandler's population and now-over population boom, hasn't seen development, not even new roads or trees, since 2000.

Storm Attacks Kellan

On Friday, May 23rd,a group of storms attacked the Kellan Valley, with one storm (radar loop below) dropping as much as 4.31 inches in just 50 minutes. Kellan's already saturated ground was put to the test, and failed. Virtually the entire valley was flooded with 1-3 feet of runoff and in some places ocean water. A 198 foot wide sinkhole also opened up in Brickwell. Luckily it was in the mountains so no damage was caused. However, this could finally be the end of a wet trend thanks to a possible El Nino event coming soon. The storms were believed to be spawned by Hurricane Alfonz, which made landfall on Stepford Island as a Category 3 nearly 175 miles away. The storms path is currently determined as unpredictable, which has made authorities on Stepford Island and in the Benjamin Metro to send evacuees to Kellan.

Nice urban areas, as for the farms I would recommend using MMP flowers and plants to create a more organic effect. But classic vanilla SC4 farming looks good for strictly ploughed fields.

Kellan- reminds me of my town a bit- I live in a farming/ranching community and here we have a couple of tiny strip malls as well.
