Realistic Budget Maps(Can't find pics in regions folder urrgh)

 I started a new region a while ago and now its time to talk a bit about it. Went for a still gammy but realistic feel same as some of my previous work but better. This is were i go for my black belt in city designing and try to emerge as a designer for the STEX to be proud of(no pics though urrrgh. still worthy of an update though).  

 The map is completely custom as I think if anyone here is a designer will be easy to accomplish. My skill in God Mod isn't as good as some but I tried to stay away from over complicating things with too many mountains and went for what took me 15 seconds of looking at a map of the Chicago skyline to build. I've currently got a couple large maps and the surrounding areas which cover the edge of a large Lake or Ocean space covered with development. In this map.....i didn't use a single cheat. Aside from mods but no surplus funds have been added and everything is done with a realistic budget. This slows the game development down some but it has been worth it in the results i look forward to displaying. I could make a tutorial on how to make money making cities as every one of mine are currently profitable.  My capital of this region has a surplus of 4 million and my second largest city has a surplus of over a million but hasn't been growing for as long as Terra Nova(Chicago style). Terra Firma(New York style) is the second city squeezing Industrial Sector 8 between them and Converse(a High Tech Industrial Hub), Behr(Business Hub) and Oak Beach(R and R location for my sims to get away from the hammering grind of city life).
