Good. :)

So how do you convert those dirt roads into tarmac? I always try to, but can't get the the streets to turn tarmac! They always stay dirt roads!

Your region actually looks good in region view

@sloid: Thanks. Glad you likey!

@Vlasky: Danke! You will get more - just give me time to breath. :-)

@jj88: Thank you.

@skitbil: To convert the street into tarmac you have to use some kind of seperator between the SAM and the standard tarmac streets. This can be a SAM Stopper (https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=19762) or - easier to use - a road. Just bulldoze the SAM part you want to put tarmac on, put 1 tile of road on every edge and then drag standard Maxis street in between. And - bang - you will have tarmac and SAM side by side. Depending on the complexity of the street layout the road tile will be nearly invisible. Try it on a straight SAM streen and only a tiny stretch of road will be visible. You will note a lot of such transitions in my forthcoming entries as tarmac gets more and more into use.

@ImVhOzzi: Thank you. That is one thing I think a lot of regions are lacking: realistic region views. You all know that regions with big cities on it that suddenly stop at the edge of the tile. I don't want to do that. I want to develop a region. Glad you appreciate that. I am planning an update with a lot of region shots from 1900 to now. Perhaps as a time lapse animation. We will see... :-)
