Edinburgh

Hello!

Welcome to another update on New Humboldt! Sorry to have kept you waiting.

Today we are going to look at a community called Edinburgh. It is situated between Claxton and Fairway along I-45.

Edinburgh is a small industrial city. It is home to one of the regions power plants. Humboldt power, Plant #2

Edinburgh is also the county seat of Jackson Co. of the state of New Humboldt.

Here is the central courthouse square:

As a growing city, Edinburgh has decided to upgrade its central artery from I-45. Up until not it was a 2 lane road with heavy truck and shopper traffic. It will be upgraded to a 4 lane highway with center turn lane and SPUI interchange at I-45.

I-45 will eventually become 3 lanes all the way from Fairway to its terminus at I-40 in Millerville. Traffic is increasing between Fairway and the port in Claxton.

I hope to have an updated region shot soon as I have been doing a lot of farming! :)

Till then! Take care!

I pay attention to every step of this beautiful cj, the city and his region grew up wonderfully: the added value is your skilful use of NAM possibilities, (highways are stunning). A long life to this project!

It feels very US American. I also have to say that your RHW building skills are superb. I've been trying to use that tool but I get frustrated quite easily. lol

Thank you @Humanunderproject

My city building style is American and I am a "realism" builder. I create a fictional city as if it were a real one in the US.

Learning the RHW takes time and practice. When it first came out, I hated it because it was "to complicated" to use. I preferred the maxis puzzle pieces as they were quicker. But as time went on, I tried it again, and by this point the NAM had developed quite a bit. And as my building style became more realistic, I preferred RHW over maxis. Now it is my default. But it took years of trying things and experimenting with new layouts and tools the NAM has to offer.

Long story short, try not to get to frustrated with the RHW, give it time it will become natural and be your friend. And believe me, I still can STILL get frustrated with it from time to time too!

I do think it is a pity that this CJ is not a feature thread, for the network of the series of CJ really impressed me. Maybe you can apply for the feature thread next time you update the CJ, so that more people can witness the development of the city.(PS: remember to shut down the gridding function with "G" before you take a screen shot and in my opinion, maybe the shadow can add vitality to the city so you can turn on the shadow function while you take these wonderful pictures).

Thanks! I will remember to turn the grid off next time. Sometimes I forget. And I didn't even realize about the shadows. I guess I turned them off or down for  performance a while back. I will fix that too! *:thumb:
