Early Expansion

Bellflower City-Mar. 31, 111679246698.png

After 10 years since the city's founding Bellflower City has grown to nearly 5,000 citizens., complete with distinct neighborhoods connected through multi-modal transit options.

Viejo Bellflower has seen considerable change, with the city's first high school, Colegio de Viejo Bellflower, and new larger medical clinic and new park.

A new neighborhood was founded, dubbed Cerritos. The area has the notable distinction of implementing the first roundabouts in the city

Cerritos soon welcomed a new primary school designed by the Zwabberaar family, the city's first cemetery, as well as the United Methodist Church and a Hakuto Shrine advocated for by the increasing Japanese population in town.

The densification of Lakewood displayed Mayor Swizzy's newest initiatives: transit-oriented development (medium-density zoning around transit stops) and the newest multi-modal transit option in town: the fancy monorail. While the densification has allowed more eager Sims to move to the ever-increasing attractive Bellflower City, some of the Mayor's advisors, members of the town council, and fiscally conservative voters worry about the mayor's spending habits

The Ríoside neighborhood grew with the Mayor siting the Mayor's Mansion next to the beach, but perhaps moreso, with the new Ríoside Monocarril station. Mayor Swizzy has persuaded the Bellflower Citizens' Council to establish pedestrian-only promenades, complete with the shiny plaza canopies designed by the Mattb325 Design Firm, but citizens seem to be slow to embrace this traditional, walkable lifestyle

One thing I noticed right away is the color-coding you use for places and people, akin to the method I use in my own CJ. *;) Good way to direct viewer's attention to protagonists and places, isn't it?

Your rural towns show a great promise. Keep going!

I just checked it out, and you're right, we do have a similar method. I am obsessed with color-coding, I even created a categorization rubric during the COVID-19 Pandemic. 

And Bellflower City won't be a rural town for much longer... 😏
