R E PLIE S!! @Schriefer: They show the Brasilerao in Indonesia to fill up TV time, usually in the early morning. So that's where I know Cruzeiro, title winners. Please comment, +1 or if you like this post! ======================================================================= This update covers the northern areas of Medang First we'll start off with Ngadirejo: The main interesting part about this neighborhood is the fact that it's surrounded on all sides by a railway loop. It was once a lower/working...

10. Panggul

By zahrul3,

It's been a long time since I didn't update and instead left you all hanging with just a teaser of a waterfall, so here comes the update! @jrnavid & Huston: Neither are correct, i'm sorry! ======================================================================================================== Today's entry covers the small town of Panggul, located 14km east of Medang. The town's main industries are fishing and farming, the hallmark of most small seaside Indonesian towns. What the town is more known for, is...

R E P L I ES ! @Huston: Pretty much in-line with the direction of this CJ; get a sizeable population; use custom content and most importantly, preserve some nature(nature = MMP!). This update though, I am not emphasizing on MMPs. @Gn_L: As someone whose suburbs are 30% your BATs, I have to say that they are pretty impressive and work really well within the CJ. If only my ZH Rosewood could fit into a 1x1..... :|...

Today's update will cover the rural areas just north of Medang. Been quite a long time since I haven't updated, didn't it? This update covers the district of Kebonagung. Main crops here are rice, sugarcane and soybean. The center of Kebonagung, has the school and the local government building which has a police station on the ground floor Shophouses line the road that links Medang to the rest of Indonesia Once part of Kebonagung, a highway has split and isolated this small village from Kebonagung. Time...

REPLIES! @ Huston: Thanks for the suggestions! I have used MMPs in the past before(Tanjung Hitam had quite a few), but only now have I figured to create actual native scenes other than simply plopping mangroves along the beach-line. @ agunter1999: I hope you loved the midweek mosaic! @ weekendgamer: Most of my farmland is located in heavily sloped land where irrigation doesn't reach, but I downloaded it anyway for future updates once I get some farmland in the valley floor. I have yet to get the hang of it...

R EPL I ES! @Huston: Thanks! I'm going for that dense SE Asian village feel, but my lotting is awful to say the least so I tried.... @GM Algebra: With only 3 tiles of width(and with geographical constraints), a functioning RHW network with intersections is just.....impossible. In the countryside I'd go with the AVE-4 instead as I'd like buildings and farms directly facing the main road highway, which is the "realistic" for Indonesia....

R EPL I ES! @Gn_Leugim: Thanks! @Afrizan: Thanks for the comment! And I'd like to thank you for being a good agan of Kaskus by helping me link to 976's slumset! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This update is pretty much what the title says; close-ups and not much more Coastline: Pt. 2 Suburbs and Greenery __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That's all for now!...

9. Medang Downtown

By zahrul3,

R EPL I ES! @TMTS, 111222333444: Thanks! @GMA: Thanks! Maybe you could try giving your CJ an update; a teaser the least. @Huston & Gn_L: Updates just for you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gn_Leugim and Huston wanted some mid/high density areas so I decided to base this update upon whatever mid/high density area that exists in Medang, this update focuses on the...

REPLIES! @Schulmania: Thanks! CJs built on flat/poorly terraformed land tend to get extremely boring, for me that is. @Huston: I thought that too many bends makes the road less safe, so there is that. ======================================================================================== This update covers Desa Sidomoro, a small village of 'around 300' situated southwest of Medang, in mountains. The townspeople are mostly farm labor, a few though, are teachers at the two local schools. There aren't many...

14. Some farmlands

By zahrul3,

@Jidan Hello fellow Indonesian! Karasem by 976 is the only other CJ that I know of, which has a distinctly Indonesian theme, and I do use much of the same lots made by 976 and uploaded to Kaskus! But many of the dependencies needed are lost so I hope this CJ is not the last! =============================================================================== This update will focus on farmlands in a valley just west of Kamulan....in Kedawung Village! Not much context here so just enjoy the relaxing pictures of...

R EPL I ES! @TekindusT: I've never thought of that before. They just.....pop up! @Alex: Thanks for the kind words! @Huston: Not all are MMPs, I use Heblem's tree controller, then use MMPs for the finer things or to plop in Heblem's tropical trees. I hope you love this update! More MMPs for you! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just a mosaic of Medang's mangrove-laden coastline, with clean beaches here and there, free from...

1. Introduction

By zahrul3,

So, after my old computer got scrapped and moved Simcity 4 to my newer computer(complete with better plugins!), I have come and gone with failed attempts to make cities worthy of a CJ, until this one. I have decided to make give it some challenge, by using Shozalosa as the map. Those who don't know, back in 2006-08, BSC team members played this map with several challenges, such as keeping natural integrity, not over terraforming and use custom content. The same challenges still apply for this one, lets get...

@All This has been 10 years since the last update so no replies from me, sorry Today's update will cover Kamulan, 10km away from Kebonagung and 14km away from Medang. Been quite a long time since I haven't updated, didn't it? 10 years! Last update was in 2014! Who could've guessed! Sadly no more (new) updates are possible - while I have the hard drive containing the town, I haven't transferred all plugins (dependencies especially!) meaning brown boxes here and there. This is just something I found on my...

4. Morokembang at night

By zahrul3,

R EPL I ES! @ Simcoug: Thanks for the compliments! You have one of the more realistic CJs in Simtropolis, of course it would feel honored to be complemented by someone like you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I'll just drop in a night-time mosaic of Morokembang, stretching all the way from the top of the hill to the bottom of the hill. In the meantime, using my old Tanjung Hitam CJ as a testbed, I figured out that row shops by Spa...

I decided to put this one in as a filler for the next update, as I continue to make the basic bones of the CJ. This treacherous coastal as-of-yet unnamed road connects the main focal point of this CJ, Medang with an as-of-yet unnamed town. The usual monsoon season rains make the already treacherous road even more so. Like many other similar roads in Indonesia, this one is unfenced, a driving error could send you off a 10m drop to the heavy sea.

So, after sifting through the tips you gave to me(thanks Huston and agunther!), I changed the sidewalk texture, then plopped in 'nature' like mad after browsing through other [past] SE Asian CJs in Karasem and Bangorai. So, here's my midweek mosaic! ==================================================================================================== Clouds loom over a typically overcast day in Desa Sidomoro. High moisture combined with always-fertile volcanic soil makes farming very easy. The weather in the...

R E PLIE S! @ Vitor13: Thanks! @ Roman_Samudra: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medang_Kamulan taken from my Sejarah book @ jerseybison: A mix, really, some are from Wallbuk, me, Gn_Leugim and lately I've been using 976's Indonesia set, which can only be downloaded via a link from Kaskus, and comes with a large amount of dependencies.

The new medical facility and police station in Panggul. For some time now, Panggul has not had a centralised police station nor a medical clinic, meaning people had to go to Medang for health while crime was tackled by informal neighborhood watch groups before being processed in Medang. The updated waterfall! Sorry for poor update, done it on an Ipad and this might be the last update until Dirk fixes IE not able to make ST posts on 7.3.3. Replies coming later! Please comment, give +1 or 5 star if you like!

@TheMurderousCricket Thank you! I've since found better ways to detail the sides of the streams with more appropriate flora for the climate! It has been some time since the last update; the computer I play SimCity 4 is effectively a desktop from now on after its battery went bust so I am leaving it in my weekend home. Obviously I can't play SimCity 4 on the weekdays as a result! Also, shoutout to the guys from the SC4 Show Us.... thread for giving constructive suggestions on improving MMP realism,...

TEASER + Replies!

By zahrul3,

What could this be? Replies: @konstantin: Quite a nitpick to be honest but is addressed in a fix the previous update @Towerdude: Yes, can be discussed @sejr9999: Thanks! It's just PEG's fishing docks plopped next to each other, though @CrazyforSimcity: Thanks! @Schriefer: Thanks! And is that a Cruzeiro banner there? @IRE505: Some of the slums are from Wallibuk while the others are from 976, but the one made by 976 not only need a large amount of dependencies, but also hard to get the download link....

Greetings everyone! Everything from the previous updates have been lost with my old computer, but I figured that I could "continue" this City Journal with the same theme (almost) in new map, as I still had a backup of the plugins folder! @Propfam: tagging @bhmantan ================================================================================================================================================================ The Regency of Rancabodas is a growing, predominantly agricultural region tucked far...
