Amerikaner! I absolutely love this CJ. All the pictures are so well done! Keep up the good work. Nick

SimRabbit: Thanks for the encouragement! Next update is very soon. I hope you enjoy it! Godzillaman: Like I said to SimRabbit. Next update is coming very soon. There might be some trouble in Crystal River! KingTitan: Sorry you are unable to view the pictures. I'm still working on making them available though. Peng74: That's exactly what I was trying to convey. And yes, traffic in that area is pretty bad! Waway625: I put up a daytime pic as you requested. Unfortunately, that is as far as I can zoom out without the picture losing quality detail. Jacqulina: As I told KingTitan, the pictures are still a work in progress. But with the next update I'm pretty sure the whole "article" will be viewable to everyone. Ilikehotdogsalot: Thanks for the help with the pictures! Haljackey: Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm really glad that you've decided to keep track of my CJ. I can promis you'll love it! Jrone3: Thanks! I tried giving the city the feel of "old mixes with new" Since it was founded in 1750 it's only natural that modern building mesh in with old. Cleaner475: I'm glad you like the nightshots! I did as best a job I could. After all, wouldn't want the first post to be a bummer! Now on to the next update! It is short, however, provides some much needed insite on the real bureacracy that is Crystal River. Politicians. Can't live with them, can't live without them.

Good job! I love the contrast of green grasses to the sudden harshness of the dust bowl. Keep up the good work! Hopefully water supplies dont run low in the desert city, as is a common thing now a days. Nick

good job so far rewright. I really like what you've done with your CJ. I'll be keeping track of this one. Nick

Thanks for the positive feedback everybody! I really appreciate it!

On photobucket.com it says .jpg. When I click download on that site you gave me haljackey. It says something like "Sorry, but this page is temporarily unavailable." I guess only Opera users and MozillaFirefox users can see them as of right now.

darnit. I did exactly what KingTitan said. It shows on the editing message part but when I open it up on IE they don't show either. Any ideas? I'm using Opera 9 as my web browser. All the pics show on it.

waway625: put up a zoomed out pic of Crystal River. The caption explains why they look differently. Enjoy!

hmm. thats odd. I copied and pasted the link straight from photobucket. The whole insert picture thing doesnt work for me. I dunno why, it might be because I use opera 9 instead of internet explorer.

Name changed officially to: Crystal River

thanks, this is kind of an intro. just to let people get to know the city better. the real stuff starts with the next entry.

thanks simrabbit!

WOOT! The humans are emerging!! Well, maybe. Liked the lick about Chicago. Hillary Clinton, nice choice as president. Can't wait for the next update! Nick By the way KingTitan. I'm working on a CJ too. I'll let you know when I release it if you want?

More amazing screen shots! When are the humans going to return to the surface world? If you dont mind my being nosy. lol

I honestly do not understand what is so bad about "plagiarism" as long as the person gives credit to the original creator. But on this site people are dead set on no plagiarism what so ever. I personally dont see it as plagiarism. I see it as spreading around work to the people who dont go to the same site that creator does. Say someone from Simtropolis wants a building from SC4Devotion. They have to go to that site, register, check their email, and confirm registration. For one site that might not sound like a big deal but there are countless numbers of SimCity 4 sites out there. I do not get what the problem is. I am currently registered at 5 different sites but Simtropolis is by far my favorite. Its easy to use, friendly, and welcoming. Other sites (not naming names) make you look by author. I am sorry, but I dont know the author of every building I have on SimCity 4. People should be allowed to share creations. Uploads shouldnt be exclusive to one site. That just makes it harder for the rest of us. This whole ordeal was brought about by a lot I was downloading called "Chase Tower." This kid uploaded it from SCC.com or something like that and everyone kept yelling at them for plagiarism. If it wasn't for this so called "plagiarism" I wouldve never found this building. They even gave credit to the original creator. I would not care if someone shared my uploads (which I dont have any) with other sites. But I guess thats just me.

Oh I know, the SimCity.com exchange is horrible. This place was like a safe haven. I was so happy when I stumbled on it searching "Big Cityies" on Google. lol. As to the law thing. I kind of agree with you. I dont think theres any real law about BATS being copyrighted...

The SC4Dev site takes so much time to search but I wasnt aware that the LEX also had BSC on it. Thats really helpful to know. Plus you dont have to search by author there. and Odd: thanks for your input it kind of gave me a better perspective on things from your point of view. Silur: We live in real world and let's respect one another ... And Your finding work is ZERO against BAT artists work !!!quote> I already said that I dont have any BATS or anything of the sort made...so yeah...

I don't want to create a Totalitarian SimCity4 site but I dunno. I just think it would be a lot easier if people all uploaded to the same site. Im not going to say favorites and who I think should get all the uploads. I just think it would be way easier that way. Or atleast share dependancies. That way when people download stuff from the STex, they dont have to scour SC4Devotion of all those megaprops and dependancies and stuff. I wish they didnt take the BSC files off of the STex.

well thats it. there is no "official" law on upload sharing. thats my new name for it.

I am so glad I decided to keep track of this CJ. It's amazing! A weeks waiting was definetly worth it. Good job KingTitan. Keep up the good work.

well it hasnt been built yet...thats why it looks so fake is because its just a model. its supposed to be finished by 2010.

well thats true. but its a lot better than the vacant lot that used to be there. plus theres always one building that has to set the trend for those to follow. i also admire the trump tower that they're building downtown.

Chicago is a city founded on molding the old with new! Not only did they introduce the first modern skyscrapers which at the time were rubbing shoulders with brick walk ups less than 6 stories tall. Look how far we've come. Now we have the chance for a modern glass building to rub shoulders with brick highrises and other beautifully designed skyscrapers. The Chicago Spire is truly revloutionary! Building's like this are what make Chicago so unique! Blending old with new, different ways of planning and thinking. I love it.
