3 years later...

Shooting for the longest record spanning journal entries here. My original goal was to show you all the natural growth of Provident Bay, but as happens a lot of times life got in the way. I ended up playing the region off an on for the last 3 years and still add a few things here and there but for the most part it is complete. Figured I might as well post some final pics. 1.13 million people, first pic is the downtown area, 2nd is the overall region shot.

Replies ferroz123, Huston, Pwel28, Richie99, chrissc94, rewright: Thanks guys for the comments, I appreciate you checking in. Chrissc94: Historical progression is was my goal. Glad you noticed rewright: I just found the link to the map the other day. Read the entry to find the link The Beginning of a Boom Town (Part 1) First, because I want to make sure I give credit to the map makers and I know a couple of you have requested the map.

Only 5 years after the town was founded the ambitious Alto Railroad Line, named after the mountain range, began in 1910 with the backing of the entire town. However, the railroad line was a nightmare for engineers. The closest...

A Year of Firsts

Replies: GaryF: Thanks for the reply. I've redone this region three times over the past year just to get the town to start how I like it. It took awhile but it was worth it. Regarding the repetitiveness. The people of Provident Bay were concentrating on survival when they built these homes. Their creativity will show eventually, I promise. PeterStuyvesant: The colonial homes are the Jenp London Terraces. They grow like crazy when you first start a city tile, so it makes it easy to grow a colonial...

A Town is Born

After a week navigating the high seas the Lady of Providence broke through the thick fog and low and behold they had made it to the safety of the natural harbor A few minutes were spent celebrating then it was straight to work. The citizens brought tents to live in while they worked on building the new town. ...A month of hard work went by and Provident Bay was born. Seen here is the town hall and Provident Bay's first church. The town hall is the trading center of Provident Bay and stores any excess food...

Welcome to Provident Bay. A story about a few hundred people taking a chance to start their own town to prepare for the 20th Century. -- A little background about me. This is my first attempt at a CJ but I've been playing the Sim City series since SimCity 2000. I can still remember when I found the world of plugins for SC4 about 5 years ago, it was like Christmas morning to me. I've managed to accumulate about 4 gigs of plugins now, and after about a year of playing this region,re-doing cities to many...
