The Apple of Snow White's Eye.

Welcome back, before any pictures are shown, we'd like to clarify and inform of the rather hectic week.

It was a doozy.

First off, Amelia has been put in a Witness Relocation Program, and was not assassinated. Her whistleblowing caused a few riots, a bunch in the industrial district after other whistleblowers revealed things about cheating industrial workers, the amount of casualties was expected, but the amount of destroyed buildings was tame. You'll see them, just you wait. The mayor of Jerseyville stepped down, and after a board meeting with all the mayors except the old Jerseyville mayor, Telegraph was moved into position for capital, and Telegraph's vice president Daniel R. Rodger was put in charge of Jerseyville after Telegraph's mayor refused to leave his sporty town.

Onto the pictures.

Firstly, we have the industrial district. Incinerators, warehouses, assembly lines, and oil tanks are plentiful. The oil tanks are owned by Shell, BP, WaWa, and Lukoil. You can barely see the processing tanks next to them, but we weren't allowed to get any info. They call the industrial area the Red Towers Industrial District.

Here's another section, it's mainly storage and workyards (which give out 50 cents an hour parking), but a few pipes and steel manufacturers house themselves here. The red and white tower is unused, though is apparently a landmark.

This area has a lot of railway running through, though the area also has a lot of chemical processing. We can confirm the red tower below is not the same and does not work and is a landmark.

Finally, the end of the industrial district. This area is high tech and does computer manufacturing, Dell has a computer building factory here, also. A few other industrial building are here, too, though.

Next, at the edge of all the cool towers, is the small commercial district, a lot of the inhabitants love the place.YTqpXuF.jpg

Here you can see the Lois Canal, short, but sweet. A lot of proposals happen there. You can also see the old-fashioned buildings next to it.

The end of the small commercial district.

Here is the main attraction. Huge towers loom over citizens walking around. Most of these are residential.

A short picture of the Aloysius museum, famous for the dome.

Last but not least, the coup de gra of everything. The Stomshire building, previously owned by Luke Stomshire. The base of operations, perfectly evil looking. The top levels are where the corruption happens, but the lower parts are all show and friendly normal office. Brilliant...

On a happier note, here are the famous windmills that were shut down a year ago. They're quite a sight, but the city council decided they contributed nothing with the new extremely efficient Nuclear power plant.

Now, moving on to the small yet expensive Jerseyville Suburban District Project. Built near the lake, expensive to live in, but beautiful.

This is where it attaches to the center of Jerseyville and the corner of the small commercial district.

Finally, the mass solar project area. Surprisingly, it produces a lot of power, it was fully finished a month ago.

That's all there is, folks, that is the whole Jerseyville area, I hope you've enjoyed your stay. Tune in next time!

Merry Christmas!

   You posted some cool pictures in this entry , but the next to last pic has a bit of an abrupt jump into the skyscrapers . Maybe could be a little more gradual . The Stomshire building piece (I liked that ) And it's like that everywhere pretty much . Also those bright trees throw it off a little ... Yeah I'd put a few darker trees in , here and there to mix it up some . All the rest rocks . And remember we learn through experiences , keep up the good work . 

   Oh yeah , neat story and Happy Holidays .

For some reason, I really like your industrial areas...maybe it is the way you laid out the streets that make it unique. :golly:

I don't know if it is a personal preference or you have never gotten around to it, but I think your cities (especially downtowns) will look soooo much better if you have your game updated enough for custom nightlights. This is a link to everything you should need.

Sadly, the trees I use are mostly ploppable girafe trees. Plopping an assumedly 3 total medium city sized tiles is a bit too much for me, but, when I get my windows, I should be able to modify some things, and expand the landmark tab a lot.

Yeah plopping single trees can be cumbersome . What I do to forest a large area is open god mode and use the maxis tree brush , then go back to mayor mode and plop custom trees here and there to give a little more random effect .

Good start there, I like your use of industrial filler lots, diagonal lots, power lots & telecommunication towers. I'd recommend you use the Real Railway Mod RRW which is part of the NAM. I know some people prefer the original railway textures, heck I didn't like the textures of the RRW mod at first either, but the ability to have smooth rail curves is more than worth it.

As soon as I get my Windows comp, I'm getting Project Symphony (i think that is the retexture for maxis highways) and that.
