Stone Republic

A lot of custom content man, a lot. Also, use NAM more too, complex transit systems are awesome.

First off, hit the STEX, aLEX and more.

I plan on using NAM more, I plan on redoing Stone City with some Highways, I forgot that aspect and that is part of my resoning on this. Note: all of stone Island was Custom Content...

And I plan on addressing everyone individually :)

Use NAM, i think thats a must. Also you might consider photoshopping aswell, use GIMP it is free of gharge
Transit is important RAM/NAM/RHW..
If you're doing parks use simfox trees they are realistic as hell

Hope it helps, Cheers

I do all my overpasses with NAM's Road Overpasses. I have an older version of NAM and i'll probably get around to getting a new version here soon but haven't yet. I have photoshop but its giving me problems and i'll get around to fixing it soon. I agree on transit and thats a major reason i'm restarting. I'll look into the trees thank you.

For the type of environment you are creating here, I recommend the MTP of the Plex.

Details go a long way with CJs. Designing and excellent transit system, or having a well-planned downtown will get you those high ratings and praise comments. You can still be creative with a minimal set of tools. Find your niche and work in it. Having a unique touch with your work can also help. 

For these Pacific Northwest kind of regions, CTMandR has a great City Journal, the Brookstone region. (CLICK) He also wrote a tutorial on how to make these kind of regions good in that journal (CLICK). Also, the RHW makes a HUGE difference compared to Maxis highways. You should get it. It was a good start, much better than Central Texas IMO. 

First, sorry, was doing some computer and yard maintainance today so I haven't been round to check back.

Reikhardt: To the best of my knowledge I have it all, i'll look into it but I can remember having the Police Station, Clinic and the Fire Station. I think I also got a school but I may be wrong, there was other stuff from it I got too, i'll see if I missed anything.

JGellock: I'm going far on the details in this one and will continue that. The premier reason I am hitting reset is because of the transit, I messed up on it definatly and that will be fixed in V2.

K50: First, and off topic, congrats on the mod position on SM, second, I am not using those exact mods but the tutorial is useful thanks, RHW does and the transit is the main reason I'm redoing. Central Texas was never a CJ? Toso Arroyo was my first CJ. Or did I forget something.

Thanks ya'll for your comments and Messages, it really is helpful and will be considered thoroughly and pardon my spelling and typo errors.
