I'm glad you found the solution so very simple to resolve and that the fix was so obvious, at least to you. Simpler is better! Well done! Love what you're doing so far in your CJ to help my city development going on a positive start. Now just to find the time to put all this to practice. Enjoy and keep up the fantastic work!

David, that's not shameless eye candy but eye popping and mouth drooling. You've proven yet again how much is possible one can do in this fantastic game if one just simply has the patience and tenacity to work it out. I'm very impressed and amazed with your excellent tutorial and the skills you have to not only show but tell simply and beautifully! It's not eye candy at all! Keep up the great work.

Congrats! You're such a great asset to the ST community. Don

Fantastic job, as usual, David. You know how to explain things in very very simple terms. Kudos! If I may add my 2 cents, David, that rain modd, in my very limited experience, is very tricky. I tinkered away today, got frustrated, so I zoomed all the way back. Pushed rain and....bam...the whole entire city map was filled. Too little of a circle and nah dah happens. Very frustrating to learn but as David said save first just in case. When I make mistakes, I make doozies. My hat's off to you, David. Well done! Don

Hope you don't mind, David, that I'm taking a detour from your CJ in this post. I'll start with my own message from a previous page.... I have many of the plugins you mentioned, downloaded many of the others you recommended but came up short on a good number. I scoured and looked but couldn't find them. (For example, I couldn't find the industry quadruper, toll booth boost and maxis functional landmarks by Toroca and the bridge height mod by Joerg.)quote> Another slap my head moment.... I noticed the TOP 10 MODDS on the home ST page then clicked on the industry quadruper. I downloaded that file then noticed the top 100 list. Most of those that Dave mentioned on page 1 or 2 can be found there. However, some of these aren't on the stex. Chalk one up to experience. Additional Comment: I also noticed many recommended ST essentials, modds, and other file categories listed on the left side AFTER I click the any file in the top 10 modds list. I think this list is not available on the STEX page. The only file I didn't find anywhere is the extra terrain tools by teirusu. Has anyone else found it? Don

I gotta clean my monitor again because I'm drooling over your eye candy. Exquisite. I feel the best part of your CJ, Dave, is the way you chat and keep things simple with a touch of humor. Bravo. I wish I could find that rain mod, but the closest I found was the one by jeronij that he developed with Dusktrooper. It looks like this one may be close though. If I may ask, did you get your region off the STEX? Or was it one you terraformed yourself? If the latter, and it isn't uploaded, would you mind uploading it? I'm scrolling through gobs of maps on the stex right now but many look dull. Or might you have any suggestions? Don P.S. Shame on me for not rating your CJ. Now it's my turn to slap my forehead.

Fantastic update. I loved everything and thought it looked so real. Now if I can only finish updating my plugins folder so I can do my own trials....and errors. Don

Keep up the great work! You have a fantastic knack for "show and don't tell" by words plus pictures. Plus your presentation and conversation style makes me feel right at home in your CJ. Well done! I have many of the plugins you mentioned, downloaded many of the others you recommended but came up short on a good number. I scoured and looked but couldn't find them. (For example, I couldn't find the industry quadruper, toll booth boost and maxis functional landmarks by Toroca and the bridge height mod by Joerg.) Your transportation network feels so natural and is superbly done, especially how it feels like you're contouring roads naturally through the terrain. Perhaps you're planning this in the future, but I for one would love to see how a planning engineer might approach SimCity in creating realistic looking downtowns, suburbs, parks, etc. Just a thought anyway. You've inspired me to try my hand at developing a very small region and do some simple terraforming with hills, mountains, streams, rivers, etc. Then add a great transport network. I'll post some pics If it turns out fairly well. Enjoy and thanks for the fantastic updates. Don
