I was going to show parts of the Don Fierro District (there's glimpses of it early in this update) but the driving updates seem to be popular - and with Bayview and most of North Doherty looking presentable, I thought I should show it off with a highway update As always the plants are all hand-placed by me. Enjoy update 63 folks! We will start our drive on the hills north of Don Fierro Bay on Highway 1, and work our way south toward the heart of Doherty. Though this exit doesn't look busy now, during event...

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my last entry! This is a teaser to the 63rd entry. This is an area I have enjoyed working on but I'm not sure it will fit into where I will be showing the next entry, so I thought I'd show it all off in one big picture. Also I have no idea when the next entry will be but hopefully it will be sooner than later. A few notes - as usual, EVERY tree and rock along the coastline is placed individually by myself. This took a great deal of time to do but I think you will like the...

Bayview

By k50,

Bayview is one of the three anchor cities of the East Pelham Megatropolis, the others being Doherty and San Clemente City. Bayview is the northernmost one of the three, and shares a direct border with Doherty to the south. This update will feature the part of Bayview on the south side of Don Fierro Bay. The next one will feature the northern side. We'll start in Del Ray District, on the Oceans Avenue end. The Highway 1 end. This freeway links Bayview to Doherty. Continuing east. Highway 1 is the freeway...

Garden Grove, Part Two

By k50,

If you like suburbia, boy do I have the update for you... There's a lot of nooks and cranies of Garden Grove I felt like showing again. Here's a few all-new pictures for all of you. East Egg High School, an affluent area, as the name suggests. Along the shores of the Royal River here. By the bridge... A commercial area. The west end of University Avenue. Irvington University is at the bottom of this picture, you saw it in the last update. Jonesmore District, and Jonesmore High School, which takes in a lot...

Garden Grove, Part One

By k50,

One of the largest districts in Doherty is Garden Grove, which straddles the north shore of the Royal River, one of several rivers in the Doherty city limits. The southeast edge of the district... which is a pretty affluent area. These blocks are filled with college students attending the nearby Irvington University. University Avenue splits the campus. More of University Avenue. North of campus. More dense area... This area is known as the Irvington Crossroads, it is filled with apartments rising out of...

Update 60 Teaser!

By k50,

I hope all of you have been having a good summer so far, I certainly have... which is why you haven't seen a lot of me As far as SC4 goes, I still have completely set up the road layout and terrain for four large city tiles in the ever-growing metropolitan area I have been showcasing for a while. But haven't started the developing of them until now, and I'm still only part way through one of them but you'll see that one in Update 60. Here is a shot of what it looks like now.

In the last update, a vote was decided on whether we would drive toward Carla Vista, or toward the airport. Most of you voted for the airport, so here we go Note about the pictures: south is still the top of the picture, like last time. There's sometimes some arrows to help you out which direction we are going, because we will be going up, down, left, and right Also, remember that I use no traffic mods, only the most basic NAM traffic enhancer. There are some areas that won't have much traffic (the airport...

Driving Down Highway 19

By k50,

Replies are on the previous update, enjoy this one! It covers three large city tiles! It's been a while since we've driven around a city in New Chandler. Let's get on Highway 19 at Athens Avenue eastbound, toward Murray City. (we will be driving from the right of your screen to the left) Going under Laurelhusrt Park Avenue here. A Doherty Metro line goes by here too. Knott Street was frequently traveled last week as St. Francis University hosted some Simlympic quailfying matches. You saw the college on the...

East Doherty

By k50,

Here's a quick glimpse at the eastern part of the Doherty city proper. The previous two suburbs, Carla Vista and Murray City, were also to the east, but we are now in the city proper. We'll start in the southwest and move toward the east from there. This is part of White Harbor, a small port on a river (rare, because Doherty is on a peninsula - most open out toward the sea). Industrial area above White Harbor. Continuing upriver. There's some condos here... St. Francis University is a small private college...

Summer is coming...

By k50,

The last update was over a month ago, and I've been working hard on developing the entire city tile to the west of Murray City. Now, there are three in a row (Carla Vista, Murray City, and this one). Once it's done I'll have content for at least three updates to power this journal into the summer, so that will be nice after being off for so long! Until then, here's a little teaser. I know there is not a lot to see here except some mattb325 and maxis houses but hopefully you enjoy it anyway

My last update was my most viewed update EVER in my many years of city journalism here at Simtropolis, with over 1200 hits as I'm writing this one. For the second week in a row, there's no teaser! It's not as big as my previous update but it does have two mosaics so it might take a little while to load. As always thanks for your support and I hope you enjoy this update! I think it's going to be my last one for a while because I've FINALLY exhausted Murray City and Carla Vista of content to show in the...
k50
Thanks for all of the great remarks on my last update! For the first time in God knows how long, I'm posting a new update without a teaser first! It's a transit update, and it covers three large city tiles! I don't have a transit map yet (the bus lines in Carla Vista's hill-based street layout aren't playing nice) but I will release one with Update 56, which might come sooner than you think. Thanks, and until then, enjoy Update 55 from Carla Vista and Murray City! And one more thing, if you notice to your...

TABLE OF CONTENTS I've had this second page of my journal reserved for "Documents and Files" which was planned to be my downloadable content. I haven't used it all that much and most of my downloadable content is now in the journal itself. With that said, as I approach 60 entries, I think it would be nice to have an organized table of contents. NOTE: Well, this got bumped to the top... which was not what I was expecting sorry for the inconvenience. You can still look through this, but it's not a new update...
k50
I've got a lot done with Murray City, my latest project. It's nestled between Carla Vista (update 52) and the Doherty City Proper, which will probably be my next projcet. Honestly, I've got enough for probably three updates (one freeway update, one transit update, and one regular one like this), which will be enough to keep this journal active for most of the next month. This city (except the downtown) is inspired by the Buckman and Hosford-Abernathy Districts of Portland. I'm shooting for a lot of...

Thanks for all of you who left feedback on the San Urbano update. It was very different than what I'm known for being good at, the tropical theme, and some of you pointed that out, so we're going back to more tropical urban goodness in the next update. Speaking of that tropical theme, I've had the goal of obtaining the "Best Tropical CJ" since Dream of a Summer Holiday won the inaugural award in that category two years ago. I finally got it this year after being runner-up the last, so I'd like to thank all...
k50
Yes! I'm still alive! This update should've been ready a month ago, but you all know how it is. This is my first small town in a while so hopefully you enjoy San Urbano is the name of a town surrounding what is probably the largest oasis in the Nahazzan Desert, a massive dusty plain going across the north of the country, and extending far north beyond that. Saint Pope Urban is the namesake of this town; his life is mysterious, similar to the life of the oasis that the town depends on. The Old Town, as well...

San Urbano Teaser

By k50,

Here's another teaser of the area you will see more of in the coming days. I'm in the midst of the awesome four-day weekend of barely any homework that follows finals week so this update will hopefully come pretty quick as I stay up late doing some flora details with this project I've undertook. Leave a comment on what you think... I know, it's not much... it's a teaser, that's kind of the point (you'll see a ton of good stuff in the update though )

The Promised Land?

By k50,

As I said in the replies to my previous entry, Update 53 will not be in Doherty. Instead, it's going to be.... here....... Any guesses on what I'm working on? There's a pretty obvious clue if you catch it Thanks for visiting and your comments as always.
k50
As always, replies from the teaser are on the previous page. Here's update 52, enjoy Sorry it's a little later than I expected. If you've got finals like I do this week, good luck! East Doherty and the city of Carla Vista brush up against the east bank of the Carla Vista River, a seven mile wide body of water (at this point) separating the metropolitan areas of San Clemente City and Doherty. There might not be any part of New Chandler more different than these two towns, separated only by National Route...
k50
Here's a teaser to Update 52. We're going due north of the Airport across a few miles of mountains to a very unique valley. I have to note to my viewers not around two and a half years ago that the original Doherty in New Chandler 2.0 was practically all grown; in fact, I didn't even know the buildingplop cheat existed I'm guessing about 90% of everything in Doherty and Doherty's suburbs will be grown by the game this time. My goal is a realistic balance of the mass transit system and the road system...

Come Fly With Me...

By k50,

Happy New Year to all of you, here's a little bit of work I've done on Doherty - East Pelham International Ariport. I haven't done Doherty yet in NCIII, I showed it on updates 20 and 24 in 2.0 though. That was over two years ago, so I figured I should go back to Doherty for a while I'm planning on staying in Doherty for a while, so let me give you my plan for it. It's part of a Tri-City metro area with San Clemente City (you may have seen that a few times this year on updates 43 and 46) and another town on...
k50
Thanks for all of your comments JGellock: I hate that station too, everything you see there is about two years old actually ----- Here's about half of Doherty-East Pelham International Airport. This is subject to change and it already looks different from when you're seeing it. It's a pretty big panorama (4980x768) so it will probably take a while to load, even on the better connections, so I'm giving all of the forums a link to it instead of putting it in [ img ] tags. I promise, I'll have the regular...

Introduction to Ankeny Atoll

By k50,

I said in the last entry that I'd be showing some real-life comparisons of New Chandler City and its real-world inspirations..... ...well, I accidentally deleted the region New Chandler City is in... so that's not going to happen The good news is that New Chandler City had its own region, so it was the only city that got wiped out. Rockaway, Galanos, Darlington City, San Clemente City, Lake Martinazzi, and Phoebe (the other NC III places so far) are okay because they share three or four separate regions...
