A few words...

By TekindusT,

Hey, guys. First of all, I want to say thank you very much to all the people who has viewed, commented and supported this City Journal. Your feedback has been crucial for the CJ and this is all because to you. I've had lots of fun making the updates and thinking new stories for the people in the taxicab. I've seen Alarconia improving a lot since the begginning of the CJ, you can see this comparing the first updates and the latter ones. But now, I think I'm not having fun anymore with this CJ. I think I've...

Comment Replies Paulobergonci: Thanks for your comment! Glad you liked the beach. citiesxlfan42: Thank you too for your comment! I have no problem with another CJ, it would be great to see different approaches and a different city. I simply press PrintScreen key and then paste the pic on MS Paint to save it in *.bmp format and edit the pic later. k50dude: Thanks for commenting! In fact, making this avenue more "normal" is one of the things I've got in my "To Do" list... I decided this after uploading the...

Comment Reply k50dude: Thanks for following my two CJ's so actively! About the logos, I can't have a logo for each CJ, it has to be the same for all. For example, I remember thepokemaniac who had three CJ's at a time and had to use the same logo for all of them... naftixe: Thanks for your comment and for that piece of knowledge! Now I know I can't plagiarize myself; but I just wanted to avoid that somebody could think: "Hey, this is the same pic I saw in the previous entry; not very original..." They are...

There were some quite tough,...

Comment RepliesCTMandR: Thanks for your comment! I don't think I'm going to develop it, because Sorrent is a "plop city". I call "plop cities" the ones that cannot be playable because they lose several thousands of simoleons per month because the things I've plopped on them are very expensive.wuste81: Thanks for your comment, question answered in the previous entry.WillyGuy: Thanks for commenting!Retep Molinari: As usual, thanks for your comment! Question answered in the previous entry. BTW, I've just...

I had never seen before the "retarded" word applied to a building!Schulmanator: Thanks for your comment, may I serve a little milk for your kitties?CTMandR: Thanks for your comments and your question? The two teams named in the previous entry share the stadium, which is Allianz Arena. I'm currently working on some logos and venues for the sports teams, you'll hear about them! I see the Town Hall has succeeded in catching your eye!...

Trixie Winners!

By TekindusT,

I know I updated yesterday, but I have to write an extra update to say thanks. My CJ has been nominated to three Golden Llama Awards (aka Trixies) categories, "Best Short Stories", "Most Enternatining CJ" and "Most Eye-Catching and Original CJ Title". I've been runner-up for the second category (Zelgadis is really good telling stories) and WON the third one. This is because I want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH to everybody who has stopped by and specially to the one/ones who have nominated me. Also, I want to...

Close-up Shots

By TekindusT,

Comment Replies Hallo7: Thanks for your comment! I guess you're right, I made the mistake of growing the city using only the Euro tileset instead of mixing Houston and European as I usually do. Doing this prevents some repetititon, but it was too late when I realized. And I know I need more custom content, but I've got a 28 GB hard drive... Patricius Maximus: Thanks for commenting! Glad you liked the CJ! k50dude: Thanks for commenting again! You've caught me this time! Before reading your comment I surfed...

Comment Repliesk50dude: Thanks for your comments; glad to see you around here again! RL is always here preventing us of playing SC4 and cityjournaling! You can download this logistics centers in the STEX, just search for "Logistics Centres Megapack" (centres, written the British way). They have some dependancies, but as you've seen, they're worth.CTMandR: Thanks for your comments, too! Alarconia has a nearly testimonial agricultural presence, I think I've already shown all countryside it has; but I'll try...

Comment Replies Victor Valdes: Thanks for your comment! But I know that my seaport has still much to learn of the ones you can see out there... abcvs: Thanks for commenting! I guess there's been an evolution since the begginings, because I haven't stopped playing the region and I've learnt a lot about terraforming and downloaded better plugins. And don't worry, because I passed my driving exam a week ago, so I'm not illegal anymore!! dimipol006: Thanks for your comment! Alarconia and Hong Kong are built in...

Comment Replies haitoc: Thanks for your comment! In fact, Alarconia is inside the SimSports Football League right now, but I'm thinking entering in more leagues next seasons. gotsomemilk: Thank you for your comment!

Election Day

By TekindusT,

Comment Replies k50dude: Thanks again for your comments! BTW, have you solved your problems with tram stations? Trabucco: Thank you for commenting! Let's see... the tram-in-road tracks come with the NAM, the stations are from the RTMT Interim T-Ram Stations and the train skin is Barcelona's Trambaix, everything from the STEX. ------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday. It wasn't one more Sunday, today it was an special day. Election days are always special, at least for me. Routine...

Comment Repliesk50dude: Thanks for your comment and congratulations because you're the writer of the 100th one! I didn't had a doubt you were going to be the chosen one. Seems where won't be more foggy mornings in Alarconia...Retep Molinari: Thank you too for your comment! As I said above, I'll try to not over-photoshop my pics again. Thanks for the advice both!Kiefer: Gràcies! Som pocs catalans a Simtropolis, sempre és agradable trobar-se amb algun!...

I know I haven't updated for ages, but it is because a reason. I've been having lots of problems with the Imageshack tool and I can't upload my pics. It sometimes works for a while and lets me upload a couple of pics, but not the 12 I have planned for the next update. I'm really fed up! I'll keep trying to upload pictures and who knows if I'll be able to finish my entry. I think I'm going to register in Imageshack, does anyone know if it is worth?

Comment Replies CTMandR: Thanks for your comment! In fact, the railways besides the highway in that pic is one of the things I dislike more in my city because they prevent putting some on/off-ramps more but wel... glad you liked it! k50dude: Thank you for your comment, again! I think Kate will be (as TV writers say) a "recurring character". Let's see what happens......

In fact, the buildings you are pointing are Maxis-default. They come with the European tileset. k50dude: As usual, thank you for your comment too! As you'll see, I've taken your suggestion and labelled a national map. On next entries, I'll try to post a pic of the route, to make things clear......

Comment Repliesthepokemaniac: Thanks for all your comments, glad to see you around here again! The link, on your CJ.k50dude: Thanks for your comment, it took me a while searching all the LEX looking for the missing links. The LEX has the best quality but you can't compare the LEX's search system with the STEX one.CTMandR: Thanks for your comment! In fact, I usually wonder how would be to live in Alarconia. At least it has skyscrapers...Sambucy85: Thank you for your comment, and you're...
