My favorites though are the GDV tropical trees connorc24- Yo West so when i submit my application, can i just re-use the intro i did here? bbfan02 - thanks, we have to thank TX calapa for the tienda liverpool for that twas kinda challenging to lot the two malls though but it was fun nonetheless.. anyway, can anyone help me BAT the logo of the malls? kinda annyoning to have to photoshop the logos to the building all the time lol

hi, i just wanted to post a quick preview of 2 malls ive lotted (thanks to TXcalapa for his wonderful BAT ) the SM Supermalls in Puerto JOya 1. SM City Puerto Joya (loosely based on SM CIty Davao) 2. SM Mall by the Bay - FIctional but inspired from SM Mall of Asia's bayside setting oh ..and something thats common in most major cities (at least in non first world countries_ Squatters! * sorry for the "quicky-type" reply, i was just too excited to share the pics after my first attempt to toy around with the lot editor

hi, want to lot a banana plantation using the GDV tropical trees (banana) however, i cant find it among the props in the Lot editor any tips?

now for my next project, a shantytown lol thanks el burro

WOW! thanks man, yeah i did it ill just finish the lot tomorrow its 2AM here..but big thanks man

well for starters how do i open the "banana" file in Gmax, i tried opening it and it says its not a valid file

does it happen on other games, ive had an 8800GTS and now an 8800GT and i havent encountered such problem. how are the temps of your card? coz those G80 based cards can run hot

argh, my nose is bleeding trying to figure it out lol..can anyone please make the Lot for me? even a 5x5 lot would do (with 9 banana trees per tile) please? so it would look like this (but using the GDV banana tree ) thanks in advance

Gmax is no longer available for free right?

plugin manager? edit: i donwloaded the plugins manager, but how do i drag the model into the props entries? i cant find the "props entries"

thanks i tried those (actually thought that they were the goldiva trees) unfortunately, when you put a lot of them together they look too "light"..sort of neon green-ish

thanks..its a pain to develop though lol

wow a collaboration of 4 CJers im sure this will be great looking forward to the updates

for someone whos suplado, you sure are very friendly though

REPLIES tcxalapa - thanks..and thanks for the BATs too i have lots of TX Residencial Diamante in my downtown and Tienda Liverpool is among my favorite department stores (its a department store right?) Shingure - Well Photoshopping is a hit and miss still hopefully i get to master the combinations and effects soon to give you guys better pictures farmer-alex - thanks for your words of encouragement Smarty218 - thanks, i find mosaics fun to make so expect more lucky7 - Well the Philippines was once a colony (?) of spain so yeah theres a connection in a way to spanish cities (ie plaza near cathedrals and of course the city/district names) bbfan02 - We have to thank the BATers for the custom content amazing how this game (SC4) was taken to such heights by the baters huh? gabry85 - I love alegria hill too it would probably be nice living in the condos overlooking the downtown panthersimcity4 - thanks for supporting my CJ Geronimo - thanks my friend, that overview photo was a pain to make as i had to stitch the Poblacion pic too lol.for the old pic, it helped that i had a backup folder of the region and had the old San Vicente file there lol sebbyb07 - thanks, do come back for the other suburbs and districts football_fever - Your comment is very humbling yeah i try to make the presentation as good as i can.glad you liked them dfnva - thank you so much crazyyaya - know what, im really thankful for your tips and constructive criticisms as it drives me to improve my city building even more i sincerely hope you dont get tired of guiding me through .But The 4 ferry piers though has some story to it (in my later update) dralin321 -well the much of the city is already finished, im on the detailing phase for most of the urban core so yeah the updates are quite fast also im trying to finish the boring city introduction part to get to the fun stuff connorc24 - thanks west seattle, one more update and ill file my application TRNSTN - thanks, im doing my best to make your reading worthwhile jrone3 - thanks, photoshop is such an amazing program eh? BAD NEWS A minor setback guys. I tried opening "La rhea" this afternoon to finish some detailing and take more screenshot abut it would just crash luckily i have a region backup from two weeks ago (so theres a considerable amount of details lost there) so i spent much of the afternoon recreating what was lost. The good news is it allowed me to improve on what was lost here are the pics of the city prior to the file corruptio

still cant get over at the awesome photoshopping * wipes drool from face

such a pleasant city to look at

nice start could you show is more daytime pics (zoomed out) please?

whoa great city cant wait to see it sprawl further.awesome pavilion too, did you BAT it? if you dont mind me asking, where did you get the tower with the "vero"signage on top..and the building between it and two pacific place? thanks

wow! interesting storyline great job on the amazing setting for the houses of government too

REPLIES SimRabbit - thanks (and a belated merry christmas too) /* reads sig lol Dsrwhat316- yeah twas very helpful is there a mod that removes the patch of white (or brown) on diagonal roads? yeah the city is kinda green still, but in a random sort of way (as are most cities ive seen in the philippines) im limiting the number of skyscrapers too since Puerto Joya is in a developing country after all Smarty218 - glad you liked it i just realized its kinda fun making mosaics lol, allows me to post bigger images haha..so should a mosaic be strictly vertical or is it possible to make horizontal mosaics too? im thinking 4 640x480 images (2 across and 2 down) next time gabry85 - thanks, im afraid i may no longer have "old pictures" as these are the only ones i captured during the early stages of my city i think theres a pic or two still but im gonna check my fraps folder first and then figure out how to insert it in my next update bbfan02 - thanks, yeah i love those seawalls too that i use them alot that and the japanese breakwaters are just lovely Shingure - Glad you found the long intro (and too much text) a worthwhile read i was afraid i would bore people with too much blah blah NMUSpidey - thats the "BLAM high capacity Monorail Station" id put the link, but im writing the reply on notepad ATM and will paste them later as i post my update lol, so just type the keyword on STEX if i forget to type the link LOL KingTitan - thanks, and soon, when i get to the rural part, ill make reference as to how you made your forests (great forests and rivers BTW, im inspired) masochist - lol thanks to the traffic generating lots its fun plopping them and creating horrible traffic jams /makes a sinister laugh vivydu29 - thanks Peng74 - thanks, i try to make them look photorealistic but they are hard, its easier on black and white photos though by blurring them hahaha Geronimo - glad you liked the city center, well thats as "parky" (lol for the term) as it could probably get, since im trying to recreate a kinda disorganized city outside the city center but i hope youll like the chaos too jacqulina - thanks jaky hmm maybe itd be nice if you had a tropical cabin at kembali panthersimcity4 - thanks, i just read your CJ and am lovin the images too (for some reason i like looking at the esteban heights pic ) UPDATE 2 AROUND PUERTO JOYA the urban core and the districts of Poblacion, Alegria Hills, San Vicente and Don Alejandro URBAN CORE Puerto Joya's urban core is composed of the Poblacion and the districts of San Vicente and Don

nice small town, and interesting development too (kinda reminds me of the small towns i see on TV like Ed and One tree hill )

so whos the architect of the final design?

Replies Geronimo - thanks glad you liked the intro, and i hope you'll like the present day tours (soon) as well Dsrwhat316 - OMG, that mod is heaven sent, thanks for giving me the link (and thanks to the creator of the mod ) yeah that brown patch bugs me too, thankfully that mod fixed it for me The_Hutt - Thanks Connorc24 - haha, yeah, i figured it out because of the CJ in your sig HamsterTK - thanks, this is my second try at a CJ, the first one was like it too (clarkstown) but the file got corrupted when i built my new PC heinrick123 - haha you a davaoeno too? in fact the general layout is patterned after davao, the sprawl, the rivers even the old airport..Punta JOya, basically the shape of the region is patterned after davao, but the downtown is a mix between davao and cebu.ive taken inspiration from developments all over the country too (punta joya is like subic, the old airport that will soon be developed into..well im not sure yet, is like the mandurria airport in iloilo ..and so on) of course davao doesnt have the skyline like puerto joya as the tallest in davao is only 18 floors (yeah too few high rises for a city of 1.5 million ) dralin321 - what a flattering comment i am humbled...thanks allez l'om - thanks, i hope so too lindsay-akihita-aomori - thanks jacqulina - thanks jaky well technically it is still update 1 continued but watch out for update two Mulefisk - thanks for the advice, ive been reading your CJ and its great, i could sure learn a lot from you the cluttered development and the randomness especially at the city center is typical for most major cities in the philippines (you should check images of metro manila lol) same with the railway too (But it bugs me so much as it limits the development of the city center so i might reroute it later) passenger railways isnt popular in the philippines anyway so i find no use for it (actually im thinking of abolishing it) masochist - thanks, actually this is the latest of about 3 attempts of making puerto joya lol so the ones i posted earlier were different cities im trying to keep it less "progressive" and the others just were too "first world" for my taste haha sc4portugal - thanks, ill need a lot of them with all the crashes ive been going through 2gb of plugins and mods is making my crysis rig crawl LOL Berethor07 - thank you please do com
