About this City Journal

The City of Schieffelin was started in a smaller city and never produced much of any growth. After the city disappeared from the maps, a renewed effort has started to form a new city and develop the region surrounding it.

Schieffelin's City Journal will feature articles once per week, and each issue is based on one year of Schieffelin's growth. There should be a few special issues to showcase the city as well.

Now that I have started to build up the shoreline and how my city may be shaped, I need to start thinking about moving more Sims in and build more jobs into the area. So I have switched tactics to build industrial jobs into the area, and I've extended the size of the agricultural zones toward the center of the city. I have zoned an area so that some dirty industrial jobs may be created. In this picture, it's just before 8 o'clock while construction is just being finished in the new industrial park.Now that...

The City's Founding

By JosephH1989,

I have started off with pristine landscape, as cities aren't built overnight. I have chosen to build the county's seat of Schieffelin in the center of the city with a river joining the trading town to the farming community.

I understand that even when starting small I still have the possibility of failure, but's the data that I gather about my city will help...

Region Ready

By JosephH1989,

I've finished terraforming the region that I have drafted from scrap graph paper and I must admit: I'm not overly impressed. Yes, it's my region that I created, but it's as if it were too small. I knew it would be smaller than I imagined, but I guess that I haven't fully thought about it.Well. I will deal with it nonetheless. Here's my fully rendered region. I've rounded the mountains, and I have softened the coasts. The cape in the center could be quite an amazing property view. I haven't fully decided on...

Drafting Plans

By JosephH1989,

In the beginning, when I created Schieffelin County, I wanted to build something that similar to New York or San Francisco. I didn't like the idea of carving water from land, so I decided that land should arise from the waters below. So on a new slate, I drew plans for a vast bay filled with rivers leading to the mountains where the water is sourced.This city journal will be based off of the entire region, and multiple cities will be involved. This why I have entitled my design as Schieffelin County Life,...
