I honestly love everything about this journal--the maps and the story behind it are fabulous. You've done such a great job bringing it to life. -

Very awesome man! I just read the entire thing in one sitting. Truly great work. Which park set are you using for the trails, trees and grass? -

Making Residential Buildings Commercial Buildings
Retrodude818 replied to Retrodude818's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone had ever turned the residential skyscrapers--not the highrises--into commercial buildings. I really love some of the huge residential skyscrapers, and I usually label them as a business when I do my signs in my game, but it would be really freakin' awesome if they were coded as commercial properties in the game. Created jobs, et cetera. And even more excellent if they could also be propable. Thanks for any information anyone has to offer. Keep it goin' ST! -

My first CJ ever.......please take a look and give me some advice!
Retrodude818 replied to JamBritain's topic in SC4 City Journals
I agree about the repetition, but sometimes it IS realistic to have low density residental right outside of the downtown--just not too much. It especially works if they are the bigger mansions or larger $$ homes---just not the low-wealth ones as those would certainly be demolished once density needed to rise. Also, I just noticed that your streets don't cross the avenues all the way. Don't you have traffic problems with that? Just wondering, cos I always do if I do that. -

Tough luck man. I can't tell you how many times that's happened to me. But starting all over again does open new doors. When you're ready to start again, I know I'll be ready to tune in! -
I love the way this continues to develop. Awesome pictures, man.

Very pleasing photos, sir. I *love* FM roads, cheers! -
*What* did you download for your airport?! I really like yours a whole bunch; I've tried downloading some things here and there, but it never really looks good or realistic. Yours is so awesome!

I should really like the idea of Fort Freedom becoming a major city and ultimately becoming the capital of the region; however, I should also think there would be a name change once the city gets larger---Fort Freedom is kind of a hoaky name for a big city. Or Fort Freedom could be the county seat for a long time and then New London could be chosen to be the capital. Great CJ so far! It's really swell. I love all the photoshopping.
