** Closed **

By DarthViper3k,

I recently upgraded back to Win 7... I had 2 forms of backups for all my data... one was corrupted and the other didn't have the region on it... so this CJ is closed. Not going to even try rebuilding it. I'll start a new CJ when I get the chance. I figured I would post one last image showing the recovery of CoveVille. Follow my blog on CSGDescussions on the lead-up to my new CJ. www.csgdesign.com.au/CSGf/viewtopic.php

Clean Up

By DarthViper3k,

With most of the water mains cleared out attention was moved to getting the roads repaired and cleaning up all the rubble. Crews started to over extend themselves to get CoveVille up and running again. Now CoveVille really was one large construction site. With so much of CoveVille being rebuilt the transportation manager slipped the mayer a proposal to improve the road network

Reconstruction

By DarthViper3k,

It only took a few hours of deliberation before it was settled on fixing the water mains in the city. Being able to shower in your own home instead of in portable military showers greatly adds to normalcy in life. The city council was very much interested in trying to get people back to their normal lives. Thus, military and civilian construction crews set out to work in digging up the ground in order to access the cities destroyed water mains. Fortunately, either due to good planning or shear luck. The...

Its been a week since the horrible disaster that leveled the great city of CoveVille. While the death toll was unclear a few days ago, its fully clear today. The Doth toll is 10,032 souls. Searching the rubble for survivors has been a long and painful task. With the Sim Nation National Guard having set up a type of refugee center for the sims in CoveVille, attention was turned towards reconstruction efforts. The mayor knew that the SimNation Army Corp of Engineers were due in CoveVille in roughly two...

Palu Shakes

By DarthViper3k,

In the summer of 1941 The Brisbin territory had reached 40,000 sims and the cities of CoveVille and Corner Bay were competing to see who would become the State Capitol if/when legislation passes. People living in CoveVille were loving their city. There was a lot of trash issues but it was managable so long as they kept up after themselves. Most residence had consistant power and water supply. There was a school complex that had k-12. Talks even began about brining a university and some other big...

Update

By DarthViper3k,

First I must appologize for such a long absence. Between dealing with frequent crashes, personal projects, and taking care of my 2 kids I don't have much time as it is. Add into that I recently upgraded my Vid card and now have access to additional games... and I've purchased Star Trek Online... yea... doesn't help. Ironically enough this journal entry was actually writen like.. 2 weeks ago. But I came down with a cold that lasted several days and manifested into a sinus infection... got my kids...

Traffic Problems

By DarthViper3k,

By the end of 1922 with all the water works put in place, and the population in CoveVille was bursting at its seams. The industrial district was placed slightly out of town in order to avoid the farmland, but this setup created communting problems. People leaving along CliffSide Road to the east side of town had to navigate a maze of neighborhood streets in order to reach the highway. This meant the industry jobs were simply too far of a drive for most of CliffSide residences. The council had spent...

Water & Trash

By DarthViper3k,

Shortly after industry moved into the city saw rapid growth. With such rapid growth also came sanitation problems as well as demands for such items as education, fire stations, police stations, and of course.. in door plumbing. Every other city in Palu has indoor plumbing.. why can't the Brisbin territory have any? First things first was to prep the area of construction. With the construction site cleared and ready, the cities water tower can be built. It took more than two months to finalize the plans...

Last we saw the town of CoveVille it was the year 1907 and the city had a population of about 300 people. Here we are 10 years later... several farms have since moved into the area and the population has swelled to a good 2000 people. Some of them are out of work highway workers that were laid off after the completion of the main road, but most of the workers in the town are farmers. Some even commute all the way to Jagged Mountain Coast 8km to work in the lumber mills. With so many people here there...

Lumber Harvesting

By DarthViper3k,

First let me appologize for such a small entry after a long wait. My machine is working again.. and Ive had to move SC4 over to the new machine. Doesn't help that I now have linux running. I'm like a kid with a new toy. On to the journal. Roughly 15 years have past since the last journal when highway N-04 had to get an upgrade. With all the housing thats going up, the demand for building supplies has sky rocketed. As a direct result a rather large lumber company has decided to move into the...

Before I get to the bulk of this entry... yes I know the title and paper says N - 04 and the header says 05... I'm not that great at image work like this and didn't feel like fixing it. lol To get everybody up to speed since I didn't want 5 journal entries exactly like 02... 5 other small townships popped up just like CoveVille from highway construction teams. Coastal Road / Highway N - 04 was finally competed in 1907... 2 years behind schedule. And a real busy 2 years for the 6 small townships in...

In 1880 the nation of Palu got swept up into a large war that threatened to wipe out the small nation. Fortunately the war was short lived and left no signs of having ever occured. However, like any war, the long lasting effects of the war effort will continue to leave a dark mark on politics. One dark mark left by the war was Palu seeking to improve road networks for military transport. During the war it became obvious that the road network that existed was very ineffective at moving materials around. ...

Introduction

By DarthViper3k,

1.) First I would like to say I've been really inspired by CSGDesign's Natural Growth. I should say though that I don't agree with him 100%. While historically speaking all cities were started, rather believed to be started, by farming... US History shows that many cities are founded out of necessity as well. For example... Boise City in Idaho was started to help provide and support Fort Boise. Charleston was founded as "Charles Town" as a major port of trade into the carolinas. A much smaller and...
