The creation of this picture is based on traditional Chinese painting. I tried to capture the technique and feeling of ink wash painting which has a special reputation in mountain landscape painting. I hope your like it ========================================================================= Replies: SimCoug, golpes_secos: Thanks! I have actually tried to make the region look nice in regional view rather than just scramble of cities mystic_destiny, Luiz P. Romanini: I love the feeling as well! Ace❤,...

There is a saying: The ocean is able to receive the flow from hundreds of rivers, as it is so vast. Research from modern hydrology and oceanography shows that 97.5% of Earth's water are seawater, and only 0.007% of all Earth's water, in fact, is surface fresh water. The statistics above may have make the rivers and lakes sounds less significant, but still, it tells the facts to us that the ocean is big. The sea is, indeed, still largely a mystery of human beings despite from extensive exploration and...

Greetings to all. I am recently working on a new region after repacking of my plugin folder. I want to try something different - something more unified, complete and consistent. I also seek for new directions so feel free to (in fact, please) comment on my work. After playing this game for some years (indeed, almost a decade I guess ). This game is still fresh and entertaining to me. I don't know if my cit(ies) were successful or not, but I love this game, and I hope they are good. By the way since English...

Hello guys, I have just finished my final stay in Australia and now back to the sun-baking Northern hemisphere. Well the heat is not the problem, the humid and dusty air is, anyway And I have to finish Betono by this time. I suppose they are not so bright and lack of character this time as they are basically the remaining parts of the city which I yet to introduce, still I would like to give you a complete view of Betono. Not all area of a city are stars after all. Finally I wish you like and enjoy the...

Greetings. Here comes the third entry of Barlon Peninsula. Today we will explore more about the environment and industries of the area. As I have said these are experimental projects for new ways to play with farms, scenery and image editing technique so you are welcome to make and share your comments and new ideas Bear in mind that the number of images in recent journals are reduced as I don't have much time to capture and edit every time, I hope the quality is still acceptable......

First I would like to thanks everyone who have seen and commented on the latest entry, I really appreciate that! It has been a while since last update. I haven't spent much time in game since September as there are quite a lot of work to be done before Christmas...But yet I promised to bring some new stories to you guys and here it comes. It is winter now, to be honest winter is the least favourable season for me base one two reasons: The air quality is often bad in winter in my place and nasal allergy is...

The entry today is about the CBD of Betono. I've tried some new ways of photoshopping for images so please leave comments as usual. ========================================================================= First, lets get some sense of geography of Benzihor today and where we are now: We are approaching the southern part of Betono, which is divided by the Benzi River. Southside Southside is the traditional commercial centre of Betono. While competition with the newly developed Northside is intense,...

Hi guys, it is me again. How is everyone going? Today we are starting a new area, which is less urban and more rural as you may have expected, and I would like to think it is a challenge as the game is Simcity, not Simfarm, anyway. ========================================================================= Barlon Peninsula Overview Depends on your preference, depart Betono by car or train towards southwest and there is Barlon Peninsula. The area is a beloved summer retreat and farming region of citizens of...

Hi There! This has been a while since the last update. As you may have notice I am working on two separated journals - one is this and the other one on Macau Stories, which emphasis on scenery, custom BATs and Lots rather then city making. The progress on this journal is, well, slow. Mostly due to difficulties on terrain and buildings selection. The actual 'theme' for next season is also constantly changing so I can't tell when will the next entry be published. I got many ideas in my head and it takes some...
