I'll be starting up my CJ again, as it's summer time, which means more time for stuff I enjoy. The question is, how should I start it up. Should I focus on building a fully-HD suburbia viewed exclusively from zoom-6? Or should I focus on a more contemporary metro area, such as one inspired by Boston or Chicago? You decide! Tell me what you'd like to see. Before you do make a decision though, keep in mind that the suburban area is 95% HD (only 1 in 20 props/buildings are meant for zoom-5) and it will focus...

I bet you didn't expect to see a teaser for my Robenia CJ today... ...I also bet you'll be surprised to hear that no photo editing was done, save for the border, to this image. This is exactly how it appears in game, but what is it?

The development of communities in the Cape Coronado Suburbs is underway... Every house lot you see in each and every one of these pictures was compiled in Lot Editor. As you can guess, this took a lot of work. Especially since most props are HD. So on that note I hope you enjoyed this small update!

I have as of recently taken a break from the Robenia CBD, although this does not mean I have taken a break from SC4. Right now you're probably thinking that I took an unnecessarily long hiatus, but you'd be wrong. You'll see why in the next nine photos. On that note, let me present to you... Cape Coronado The suburban area of Cape Coronado; considered to be both the newest and largest of Robenia's Residential areas. In fact, it is so new, much of the area is still under construction, not unlike Robenia...

As of late, I've taken a break from the Utopian Robenia for a more, dirty and dangerous class of a city; an industrial slum. Sector 15 is a significantly older area from around Robenia. The slums that are Sector 15, were at one time, anything but slums. This was a time when industrial cities throughout North America thrived, when the steel and vehicle industries were in full swing. These days, Sector 15 is merely a polluted industrial wasteland on the outskirts of Robenia. Many of the residents who once...

I haven't been away from my first CJ, Robenia, without reason. After fixing some critical issues with two of my three functional computers, I've been back at it, building bigger; sprawling skyscrapers here, there and everywhere. The downtown area of Robenia, positioned within a Pinavia interchange, is where it's at now. As you'll soon see in this update, the majority of the CBD has been completed. Other areas will gain more focus in following updates, which you'll learn more about near the end of this...

The CBD of Robenia will be, like in most other cities, the central hub in which commercial functions occur. But until roads are built leading to the CBD, nothing can happen. After experimenting with various interchange designs, the following configuration was chosen: While this design is functional from the perspective of those using the highway, it wont be of much use to the downtown core if it takes up too much space. That's why Robenia's architects took the time to design the CBD skyscrapers to be both...

I have begun designing the community center for the first residential community in Robenia. Each community will have a community center, library, park(s), as well as all the other amenities one would expect in a modern suburb. So let's take a peek at what this community will start to look like: Just a short teaser entry, but please enjoy, and feel free to comment. Feedback is appreciated!

Welcome to Robenia, gateway to the Americas! The city of Robenia rests atop a man-made peninsula expanding outwards from what used to be A border region between Canada and the United States of America. Both countries still exist, of course, although they each have given up a fraction of their own land to create a neutral region. This newly-created region is named Pandea; which one might notice is close to the name Pangaea. Pangaea was at one time, a single continent comprising of all the current...
