1572441.png"The hotel is nice, and room service is not bad at all" thought Mary whyle she put on her swiming suit, "now lets see the beach, besides i need to relax a bit before going shoping"

Mary spent the whole morning in the beach, it was a nice place to relax tho the sound of the city was too close, but she was a city women after al so that didnt bother her to much.

After a brief lunch she decided to call Bruce the Taxi cab driver, that was so polite the night before. She had planed to visit 1 paticular shop, that her friend Helena had recomended her, it was an artisan craft shop, and had some unique works to offer.  But she didnt came all the way here only to visit 1 shop, she had to visit a lot of shops and see if she can find some nice goods to bring home, and some exporting deals (and even some importing ones) that she can make.

Bruce, tells her that he will be available to drive her arround in the afeternoon, leaving her with some free time, so she decides to visit the monumet to the founding fathers, an old viking ship not far from the hotel.

Its an impresive monument, and well taken care of. The time pases fast so she dosn't stay long in the monument and heads back to the hotel just to find bruce wayting at the entrance! hes a bit early, but that is good, cuz now mary has a bit more time to visit some aditional shops.

"Good day Bruce! thx for coming so fast!" says mary, "No problem at all miss mary" replies Bruce, in his paticular accent!, "where too miss mary?" ask bruce with out hesitation. "i have a map pointing to the stor i need to visit! (see the last entry for the map ) But i would also like for you to guide me! and show me a few shops you thing sell nive stuff!" replies mary, ready to start her work. "With pleasure!" says Bruce, opening the door to his cab to mary!.

We took a one way bridge to a small island in the middle of the river. you could see a train crossing a modest but well cared bridge next to the one we were crossing, 

T_S_4.jpg

We stoped in a few shops in the island, nothing too fancy but with a few items the i bought, for my personal colection, nothing worth for buisness so far.

Bruce took me to the fishing harbor, located in the small island, its a big fishing harbor... too much tuna if you ask me, so aprt of the nice sight! i didnt find any buisnes or interest in it!

T_S_5.jpg

We pased yet anothe bridge and it was allready getting dark!, so i asked bruce to take me to the shop directlly now! i dont whant it to close!

Its was not a too fancy shop! ant first i was more interested in the statue just arround the corner, bt i started to find some interesting stuff inside, some interesting crafts and with a diferent cultural aproach, this was more like it!!! i was so interested in the crafts the i asked the store keeper to point me to the manufactures ot such fine work! he was very kind because he happened to own the shop and the manufacturing! my luck was turning!! 

It took us a few minutes to get there! it was a modest but well equiped lot! surrounded by wharehouses and other manufacturing industries.

T_S_10.jpg

After making a deal to buy at lesat 1000 units per month ! i was so happy that i hadnt realized how late it was!! so i asked bruce to take me the fastes way to the hotel! "That would be the ferry miss mary"  So we went to the ferry, it was a plesent ride, and once i got to the hotel i was sure to give Bruce a good tip! he was a great guide and very patient.

Slope mods are mods that changes the slope of streets, avenues, rails, etc... to a more realistic steepness and therefore realism.
A good one is: www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm  - BRF Tunnel & Slope Mod
By the way, good CJ. Keep the good work up.

Thx alot to both for the hint! , is that mod compatible with NAM? it would be the only thing keeping me from getting it.

It is compatible with the NAM and every other plugin that I know of. Using slope mods can be tricky though so I would block out some time and test it out on a region / city you have no problem destroying / resetting. Once you figure out how to use the mod, it can be a great way to build road-to-bridge transitions and also helps with those steep avenues running down to your seaport, giving them a smooth look, and not so chunky and step-like. Slope mods also work with rail and be very helpful with other transit networks (Elevated rail) also.

 WoW thx alot, will have to practice and plan ahead, tho mainly my region is kinda flat i do have some spots where slopes would be perfect, like in the seaport and some ferrys. Will have to see money wise how posible is to implement them on some cityes... posibly in beachport (present screeneys) wont be posible because it dosn't give much proffit, much of the space is covered in watter (about 40% of the city), but in other cityes could be a good adition! thx for the tips!
