I normally wouldn't link to my own stuff... but this project I'm working on seems to do what you're asking. It's going to be a bit of reading if you're up for it. Along the way I'm providing requested information, giving guidance, or answering questions. Also, to find your schools use the data views for education, that should light them up and make it easy to find.

Nice use of RHW for the area, Lost Realist Everyone shows such nice looking suburbs, so does this count?

Impressive, impressive indeed

As requested to 'edman2012' Here are the traffic data views, and a few shots of traffic happening throughout the day. Traffic by 'Congestion' Traffic by 'Volume' notice the difference in some areas between the two East Hot Springs suffers because it's only form of mass transit is Bus. Of course Downtown Hot Springs just wouldn't be right if it didn't have traffic problems. Mass Transit here is Bus & Subway. Roads had to be changed to One Way Roads, with some becoming three lanes. Avenues widened to three lanes, where possible. Tunnels were added to make less intersections. Doing all this brought the commute back from 'Medium' to 'Short' despite all the red you see. Now, here are shots of traffic happening, at different times. Some are pure congestion while others flow nicely. Crenshaw Blvd & Day St Traffic floods Crenshaw Blvd morning, and night as it serves as the direct link to downtown other than taking the 101 Hollywood Freeway. 2nd St Tunnel -Receives regular backup, one side of the tunnel has been upgrade to three lanes (two on one side), while the other side has a dual turn lane. Interstate 10 & 101 Hollywood Freeway -Traffic is moving along well, after rush hour. Bunker Hill -Most Sims flood the Hot Springs Subway System in this district, those who insist on using their cars are met with grid lock and one way streets. Thanks for viewing, tell me what you would like to see next: -Air Pollution Data -Total Budget Data -Industrial Area -Freeway Tour -Downtown Tour (I noticed I seem un able to change the title of this, is there a way I can do that?)

Good start, keep it up.

I am curious, how much have you finished of this region/city? It looks impressive.

Very, nice... I really like the mall. Use it myself =)

Nice, nice. How do you make a Gif? Also, how do those on the islands get to land? I saw no boats

Nice Yoshi, amazing what a different it made when the buildings got added

It's nice it's two different +10's I used this to start getting back into this area, and read some good things I've been missing,

Wow, what an under taking, this is a massive project. I've seen others do it, and can only imagine the time...

I like it colorful, tropical. Question though, how come you didn't connect it at that avenue end?

[i][font=times new roman,times,serif]Great job guys, they are some good reads/pictures, some just blow me away that people take that much time and care to build such master pieces. [/font][/i] [i][font=times new roman,times,serif](Woot! I get an honorable mention)[/font][/i]

Interesting, your city sure is growing

Hm... like the coast of Maine.

Very nice, looks beautiful. I am curious... how much of your land is functional? I never see cars...

I think this was about 40 Sim Years...

Nice use of the Elevated RHW6C Traffic is a big part of a City to me, when I see other CJ and they got great downtown, but only a drop (or none) of traffic, it just feels wrong to me. Good job.

Hello, so this one will be a small single picture update of the story, as well as the other region I'm working on (which sucked massive time away). I still am working on my story region and would admit it would go faster if I just plopped everything, but I actually plan on taking cities and towns from my story, and dropping them in my other region (or vice verse). Replies will be in the next update, but I do have an important question. Would you like to see updates of the Story as well as my Real Region's progress every time? Or just the story? Let me know! The first part of the story is close to an end... Thanks for the support as always! Could it be aliens did receive the signal? Two Cities, Hot Springs (Downtown) & South Heat With a bit of a lighting problem on some skyscrapers...

The picture second from the last, what is the piece that connects the road to the elevated road? Also, the planning and layout is great, I love seeing these Asian cities come to life.

Cool! Someone else voted for Odyssey! Add another vote for it, from me

I am curious, is this going to be an inspired by Japan look and feel, or an attempt to recreate it exactly?

[i]Odyssey get's my first vote (sure we saw that one coming....lol)[/i] [i]Good luck to all.[/i]

I used to always do 'Easy' as I wanted the extra money to lay out my roads, but got tired of all the 'Alerts', made huge profit way too soon, the list goes on and all translates too it was too Easy. I've played on Hard, and since have not gone back. Need more money? Take a loan. Can't pay it back, better budget that city better (which isn't hard really... just need practice) I've even increase funding to things at max, just to lose money for a while as I don't want 'massive' profits till my city really booms. New budget is something like +54,000 -53,000
