Update 10: Oakdale

UndercoverNinja12

So, you might notice this update is a little short...and that it's been a while. :P I worked on this city for probably close to a good month or so once I finished Elmore, but about a month or so ago I must've moved some plugins around, because now when I go to load the city I get a CTD. I'd take the time to fix it, but quite honestly I have a pretty big plugins folder, and I've been really bogged down with real-life issues. I'm just starting summer from high school, but quite honestly I think it's more productive to spend my time working on Beaumont and other cities. Oakdale, for the most part, was probably about 95% complete anyways. So, you're only getting a couple pictures. I didn't take that many while I was working on it. :(

The lone picture that's good enough. :( Enjoy the suburban sprawl, though!

This is the best overview picture I have...it shows most of the city. That undeveloped area across the river eventually became mid-rises.

I promise I've been working fairly hard in SimCity, and I'm glad to report that a fair amount of the greater Beaumont area is complete. Complete work includes a couple of large tiles (Elmore & Oakdale) and some other tiles I have some development on. I've also started a little on Beaumont, but I'm still building up the suburbs surrounding downtown. I've been bogged down with real-life issues, as well as a general lack of motivation after cranking out two big suburbs. I am working steadily, albeit slowly. I promise. :)

@Neto Dari: Thanks :)

@Vitor13: I don't speak Spanish, but half of that survived the translator, and I think that was a compliment? Muchos Gracias? :P

@feeroz123: When you get close to downtown, those wide roads really help traffic! And glad you like it! They're one of my favorite parts of Elmore.

@IRE505: I'm not sure exactly, and I'm having computer issues so I can't check SC4 for any help, but if you search 'barge' on the STEX, or perhaps PLEX, I think you can find them relatively easily. (Don't hold me to that though)

@paulmc: Thanks! :D

@Tonraq: I love your stuff too!

@sejr99999: Thanks a lot! I feel that they add uniqueness and give the neighborhoods a little bit of variety. :)

@city89: The barge, again, should be able to be found on the STEX or PLEX by searching 'barge', and the bridge is also part of the latest NAM, I believe.

@sarthakknight: Hey, we're a growing nation, we're always hiring!! :D

Its a real shame about you're ctd issues I've had every single city in one of my regions do that, what you had there was looking really nice love the use of FAR roads in the first picture.

Looks great! You don't need to be apologetic. Real life is more important, anyway. Hope to see some updates, though.

The last picture about how a single person has to drive all around the highways make me laugh.

Nice update.  I like all of those curves in the suburbs; they help to break up the grid.

That traffic flow display is nice. Till date I have not been able to use RHWs properly. :P

love the suburban area with the mature trees. Be cool and more realistic if you also added some forests and parks in there too
