Hi all, As promised I have included the images of the new high wealth bay area. I've also spammed a load of skyline and detailed pictures as some eye candy. I'm really sorry I didn't have time to comment next to each picture but I'm rushed with deadlines for work. (Just taken a quick 30 minute break from spreadsheets to get this pup). I hope you enjoy The bay area in all its glory. Birds eye of the bay. Hope you enjoy. O.

Hello all! Sorry for the quietness over the weekend, I was busy drinking. I've tweaked the entrance to the city added new flyovers, a bypass leading to the CBD and then refined some of the skyline to make it look a little more smooth. See the pictures below. I've added in the views of the city as you drive along the highway! View of the city from the highway as your approach the main entrance. View through the train aqueduct.

Hello all! This is going to be my first "proper" city journal. A long time fan of SC4 I'm very used to the old City Builder but this will be my first public sharing of the journey. The plan is to build a unique mountainous city across rough terrain with pockets of sprawling suburbia up the mountain side and large dense CBD areas. The map I will be using can be seen below. The city is aptly named: A Different Angle. I hope you enjoy and please openly criticise I value constructive feedback! O.
