@raynev1 and @123deoliveira4 : Thanks for the comments. and I'm glad I'm not the only one still on vanilla highways. :P

 

Anyways, I briefly mentioned Williard Beach, but before I could get screenshots of it, my game crashed. So here's a special update devoted to Williard Beach

(ALSO NOTE: I am facing the opposite direction, so the left side is east and the right side west. )

The East Williard area.

West Williard, where some of the trendier shops and other buildings are located. Also the Williard Beach Lighthouse is here.

Downtown Williard Beach, with the hotels and casinos. Indiola recently legalized Gambling, and Williard Beach's prime location near the border has made it a booming tourist destination.

here's a few shots of the homes of Williard Beach, which range from nice family homes to shotgun shacks on the rocky shore.

Not sure what the next update will be, it will likely be the 100,000+ city of Ohio City or maybe I'll start on Lake Rudy, but you will know in the next update. :P

The two first overviews didn't feel quite right, but the close-ups are much better:-). The treatment of the rock & sand MMPs is promising , especially in the last picture (although the side transition to to the beaches is too abrupt) . Perhaps you might consider dressing up the non-built areas with more MMPs (trees, grass, flowers..). I'm a bit bothered by the palms, which look incongruous considering the other flora (like in the parkings along the beaches)  -- I know, they come with the bats. But yThere is a nifty plugin called "Sayonara Maxis trees" that gets rid of most palms on lots:-), hint. Last (and least, but still...)  I think you forgot to hit G to take out the grid:-) when taking the pictures...
