Today I will show some pictures of the current status.

But first a reply:

@sucram17,

thanks for the kind words! I hope you´ll like this entry too.

 

The town is growing steadily. I have no clue, why I have still no demand for industry but people want to live in Goblinton though. And I am still only zoning for small housing, so the town needs much place. A few very helpful mods here are the themes mod and one for stopping the level up of  buildings. I made one small mistake, and everywhere in the whole town small level 5 suburbian buildings popped up. I forgot to mark the lost ones as not leveling buildings... In the end I had to go back several hours of playing, and mark every single building in the town, - the most boring "work" I had to do until now. And also I divided the town from 1 into 12 districts to avoid such big problems. A minor mistake now can never again reach the whole town.

I didn´t change the building style in general though. I like the look of the now mostly two story buidlings, the long streets and the "boring" attidtude of early suburbs. Feindbild modded his buildings very clever, there is a 1x2 in two variations, I used the first level for the wider worker streets, the next stage changes only the position of the building, so that it is in one row with the rest of the set.

The newly built airport also should represent an old one, and this building may look like something, that was changed and renovated in parts from then to now. The surrounding streets look like from the 1930´s, only flat buildings, an uglified part of the town, and still work in progress.

Another part of the town is a suburb for the upperclass. Better schools, more green space, and fancy family homes. Here is, where horror movies may start...

And to avoid any problems with pictures again, I decided to use direct upload for pictures again. I hope, this works. They also should be visible in full size by clicking on them.

I start with a picture in the middle of the night, the first boxcars arrived at the main goods station:

Later an Amtrak reaches Goblinton Station:

And now for something completely different, here the better housing starts:

Here it ends:

So pretty:

That is all for today. I hope, you like it!

Your city is really nice!

There is one thing, though, that intrigues me: although your city is quite American in style - I'm looking at the cars in the car park, the nice trucks (also seen some 18 wheelers I think), THE AMTRACK, the boring ghetto-like suburbs, THE BOXCARS, you have some European vehicles that look a little bit out of place - I'm referring to what seem to be Bombardier Flexity trams and Solaris articulated buses. You may say that I'm too perfectionist, which CAN be true, but I just wanted to point that out objectively.

Anyway, as I said, your city is very, very, very nice and I'm looking forward to your future entries. Good luck!
