Welcome to the latest entry of the Blue Islands! Sitting in the northern end of Morningside Island, Laguna Shores is known for its deep ports which allow for large pears and the largest population of boats in The Archipelago.  While half of the city sits on Morningside Island, the other half is on a series of five different islands which will be explored in part 2 journal of this entry, but today we will be focusing on Morningside Island.

Beautiful city you made there @ByeByeBayou, thank you for showing.

I especially like how the Port District and Laguna Beach get denser and higher the closer you get to their centers.

Also I'm looking at the pictures from the hills as I want to get better at building in hills myself. Am I correct in assuming you didn't use a slope mod?

Thanks @Garlicked!! With city centers, I find it's better to have a gradual development to density considering this is a much more natural development of urbanism. High contrast in density will make your urban center look more like an office park than a city. 

I did use a slope mod for most of the roads, but I would recommend just using the slope mod in NAM 37 as I think it's better. Some of those roads in this journal are still quite steep!! 

My mmp's are mostly from @Simmer2 (and thanks for the help and beautiful textures btw!) He has a forum that I can't seem to find at the moment. I tagged him so hopefully, he'll respond...

Also, @The British Sausage is a great reference for great mmp's and I would recommend looking through his journals.

That was a very creative use of the @mattb325 library along the marina.  The layout, retaining wall, and "landscaping" arrangements are superb !
