So what Vancouver rocks! It's the greatest city in the world. And yes I live there

Woahhh funky pics guys, great work! Especially your's ilikehotdogsalot! That shot is **** sweet!

Well thank you SO much, I'm working on a region that is nothing but flat land, so that I can build some canals and maybe those beaches. I also ditched the Columbus Terrain Mod but kept the streetside mod. Also building the region with the Houston tileset. I'll post a CJ after I've developed quite a lot to get more attentino.

jacqulina: Thanks, those things are impossible to build unless you have a flat and square coastline. Cjah: Thanks, but I'm going to work on a new CJ.

Well here's the last update before I take a break from the region and work on other projects... I've stopped at a population of 258,805, and it isn't so much a size milestone as a pleasant surprise that this is my 60th region and yet the first that I have ever finished. I'll post the last of the pictures and work on a new CJ right away since I can never get away from this game now. Lol. So this is what the region looks like now: I've expanded Kensington And done even more on a new suburb, Lake Fairview. A little glitch with the custom beaches Homes on the hill the night overview the commercialness zee walkway homes and some nice property. It's taken weeks of work and hard planning to get this far, but this is probably my most aesthetically delicious CJ ever. I'm proud of what I've done and I hope most of you are too. It was kind of quick, but I'm just taking a hiatus from the region for a while. Thanks for all your guys' support and views! Good night New Fairview

Thank you! Thank you thank you thank you.

Thanks for the only reply, lol. Who uses the RCI plop mod?

Next update Almost all of the mainland is filled up now, and I could finish it right now but I wanna save it for a smaller update. I've got some more quality suburb shots for your viewing pleasure! Here's the region updates: So just the northeast to go. The region's population is 240,170. I've expanded East Georgetown, East New Bordeau and half of East Kensington. The two cities surrounding the lake will be Lake Fairview and population there will be at a minimum because I want it to be a nice peaceful fishing spot. Now quickly here are some nice Downtown shots: ^ The new tallest building in the region Now the others. Georgetown (4 cities) Combined population: 16,871 Combined Commercial jobs: 3,868 Combined Industrial jobs: 260 Beautiful community green Road down to waterfront property Skytrain bridge across the bay. Georgetown has no low class sims, everyone is wealthy! Kensington (3 cities) Combined Population: 30,116 Combined commercial jobs: 3,785 Combined industrial jobs: 685 Man I love those parking lots! New Bordeaux Combined population: 18,601 Combined commercial jobs: 2,742 Combined industrial jobs: 0 A hospital. Protesters are scared away by rabid monkeys at the secret medical facility! Portia Combined population: 12,433 Combined commercial jobs: 3,690 Combined industrial jobs: 0 Overview of the updated neighborhood Transit station Just some nice houses. And that concludes this update. Thanks for visiting! I'm already thinking about my next CJ after this one... I'm going to play every city on hard and the map will be flatter.

Thanks for all the replies, especially your's Zane lol. An update on some more suburbness will come in due time.

Nice pics! Great farms, and I really like the trails. Good job.

Thanks! The ped bridge is part of the ped mall tiles which comes with the NAM. If you don't have it, get it! (It's in the mods section here) I have no idea where the logs came from... It might be something from jeronij's BSC stuff... Sorry I can't help you there.

When I finish the region I want to make a transit map.

Thanks guys

homeandaway: I forget the name, but I'll look into it for you. Thanks for the comments. jacqulina: Thanks again for the commenting, I'll have to check out Paradise Falls. Thinking about adding a story to spice up my boring CJ...

Finally another huge update I managed to squeeze in between homework. I've spread out quite a bit, and finished the farms in the northerna rea of the region (Ben Hills) and expanded east a bit, which in the future will be smothered in suburbs. First, here's the Ben Hills update: Houses on the hill My house (I wish) Skytrain stop The panoramic bridge to Worrall Island Ben hills' business centre the agricultural hub of the hills (sorry for the night pics, but I wanted to give a peaceful effect) Combined population: 18,417 Combined commercial jobs: 2,435 Combined industrial jobs: 747 Combined funds: $1,161,930 (split among 4 specific districts) Oops... I forgot to take pictures of Namdale (2 cities) and Parkdale and Tillson. Here are the demographics anyway: Namdale Combined population: 21,444 Combined commercial jobs: 1,903 Combined industrial jobs: 2,122 Combined funds: $645,415 (split among 2 specific districts) Tillson Population: 3,699 Commercial jobs: 1,637 Industrial jobs: 30 Funds: $57,210 Parkdale Population: 3,362 Commercial jobs: 866 Industrial jobs: 0 Funds: $120,523 And for a recap and to show everyone where the cities are, here are both maps for New Fairview: Region population: 157,956 Region commercial jobs: 32,474 Region industrial jobs: 24,874 (Just for fun) Combined funds: $15,332,919 (62% of that is in downtown Fairview)

Sorry about the no update pause, but I'm really busy with homework and other things, and when I get a break I'll post another update.

Uh-oh, I missed several updates. But it's looking good! I love the natural city building that you're doing, I'm not that crazy about what alot of CJers do with their cities (no offense to them) but yours is doing perfect, so keep it up. I like the story telling too. Good job. Also, could you tell me where you got the commercial centre with the Fashion Bug and other stores? Or were they seperate?

Oy! Awesome pictures everyone! Everytime I see these pictures I'm inspired and it makes me wanna empty out my plugins and stuff it up with CJ-quality stuff! It would make my regions crash though But I was just wondering where everyone gets the ploppable sailboats and other things like that (the modder who makes them) like the ones in jacquelina's picture (left side at the river mouth)?

MarcosMX: Hey! Long time... Perfect_D^rk: I did a search to find the files that came with the Street Side mod (where the trees came from, at least for me) and I can't find the file... jeronij must've deleted it. PM him for info on that. GMT: Thanks, more will come! lucky7: Great! I'm not an SC4 photographer, so I'm just working with what I've got photowise for this region. jacqulina: Thanks again EDIT: Population density: 2.002 sims/sq m

!NEW UPDATE! In the time I've been away, several neighborhoods have sprung up around Fairview, and the whole peninsula is filled now. As you can see the mass transit is getting more complicated to serve more users. The highway still isn't seeing mass usage, though roughly 100 drivers navigate any one stretch of it (Downtown Year 106 transit data) The only beach in the region, located 10 blocks west of downtown The new airport in the Hills, which is already just under capacity, but isn't seeing enough profit to expand. A beautiful downtown night shot Winston 'urbs at night, near Babylon Elementary The Hills stadium at sunset Fairview Garbage Disposal center Water treatment filtering water for 40% of the population The new tourist trap in downtown Some info about the region Region population: 75,095 Region-wide commercial jobs: 19,392 Region-wide industrial jobs: 13,925 Population employed: 33,317 (44.37%) Population density: 0.005 sims/sq m

Pretty good setup, looks like you've done alot of hand terraforming. Good job there! Flat cities aren't really my thing, I like the more realistic ones, but this is looking promising! Keep it up.

Totally forgot this is a new page so I missed your comment, but thanks! I do like that corner too. An update is coming soon, There hasn't been a whole lot of growth, just upkeep and expansion of the el-train (which has reached every city now)

jacqulina: thanks! City2TheMax: Thanks, lol I know, I build on prebuilt regions cause I suck so bad at making my own. And the mod you're looking for is all in one, called the Street Side Mod by jeronij, with several required texture packs, download them all. I'll link to them for you. The main mod: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?page=1&keyword=street%20side%20mod&type=all# The requirements: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=15578 https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=14842 https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=12360 https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=12361 https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=15796 That mod is a must have for suburban CJ's, and OMG beautiful for downtowns and basically everything. Thanks alot for the comments guys, keep 'em coming!
