Hello All! I know I have been MIA for a long time, and I can't promise I'll be any more active. . . But I have a picture to show you I haven't completely abandoned Sim City. This is a new Region using the fantastic map of my Hometown, WIlliamsport, PA. The city is also loosely based on Williamsport. It is far from finished, but some pics will be ready soon. I'd really appreciate some advice on growing large expanses of Residential Areas as growth has stalled in the region at the moment. Thanks for stopping by!

really awesome! I love the lighting. Its really noir/ gothic. Love it!

So Happy Nyhaven is back! This was one of my favorites, though I mostly Lurked. Your parks are always amazing, and the space needle is no exception. Also, the downtown is stunning. The variation in height is definitely interesting. I wonder if you could point me to a link for that pointy tower downtown? Thanks in advance!

Thank You everyone for the comments! Well, anyways, I know I've been gone a while *sniffle, so here are a few pics of Warsaw. Warsaw is a smallish town somewhere in the north/central area of Westramine. I haven't decided where yet, but a few candidates are: 1. A short ways south of York 2. Some ways Southwest of Umbria Heath 3. Somewhere far in the north Link to the map of Westramine... If you have a suggestion for an alternate location, please leave one! Anyways, on to the pictures: And that's about it. Thanks for stopping by!! Don't forget to leave suggestions as to where Warsaw should be located. There should be at least one A(green)-Road running along the south edge of the Warsaw area, roughly E-W, and hopefully one running to the North, but the latter may be optional. Thanks!

My, what a nice University and neighborhood! As always, amazing!

Looks really great, as always! I especially like the subsurface station.

Hey Everyone! This is just a quick political/sattellite map of Cumberland Metro so far. As you can see there is a long way to go! Region View Be sure to click the link as the small preview is useless :/ Anyways, Thanks for visiting!

Hey everybody... I just want to let you know whats ahead, and maybe hear some input about what you'd all like to see. My plan as of right now is to finish up Cumberland with a few updates, maybe come back to it after a while. There will most likely be some more small towns (Waxby, Whitehall, Darby), a look at Easton, the Lehigh Valley's secondary city, some more roadgeekery and hopefully a transit upgrade... we'll see what comes. But I've been having the idea lately to start a city from scratch and do something like a natural growth... So soon I'd like to begin a project I'll call: Nearly Natural Growth meaning that I will use mods, bats and even cheats and such to realistically follow a city from its infancy to its end, wherever that may be... I'm hoping to make it interactive and fun and I really want to involve the readers. I would really appreciate any input you have right now as to how I should begin, and I'd like to know what you want to see. I'm not writing this to make empty promises or to draw in readers with said promises... I just want to know what you all would like to see. Thanks! and please do leave suggestions!

I love the coliseum and convention center.

Hello All! Topsham is a section of Sunderland directly west of the Center and Downtown, across the River. First, an overview to situate yourselves (the outlined portion is Topsham): In the west of Topsham are single family houses that work up to rowhomes, walkups and even row apartments, but the area around Madison High School is calm, peaceful and affluent: Some Mixed Development and Roth Grammar (K-8 gr) School overlook the Aanmeer on the tops of the bluffs: To Continue East on Highmount Blvd, We come to Hepburn St, and a housing project with the best views of and in Sunderland City: An Office Park was recently built in an abandoned block north on Hepburn St: The Church of the Ascension overlooks Downtown and the centerline of the Nave aligns with the center of 4th St, Which tunnels under the church and surfaces in the next image: Here is where 4th St surfaces and interfaces with Hepburn and Telmont. Also Pictured is Telmont Grammar (again, K-8 gr) School. Northwest on Telmont/4th brings you to the business district of Old Topsham. Here, stores, shops and restaurants line Nicholls Ave, the Western Extension of W 9th St.There is a complex Intersection and partial (to North and from South only) access to the Crosstown parkway, the massive tunnel under the Topsham plateau. That's All Folks!I tried to label the streets to better acquaint you with Sunderland and the relationships between the buildings and neighborhoods.Thanks for visiting!

Yeah, but its good to get away from the game, and I am ready to start doing more updates after the new year, but Topsham will do for now!

Just a small teaser today! Unfortunately, I have been unable to work with SC4 lately because of RL stuff (all good, though). I am starting to feel like Sunderland is stuck again, so I'll probably start Van Meer next, but I really want to show you guys Downtown and Central Sunderland before that. But here is a teaser of Topsham, the brownstone neighborhood on the top of the plateau to the immediate west of downtown. Theres not a whole lot of exciting stuff going on up here, but hopefully a future update will cover this area. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello All! Rewright: Thank you! I am going with a Northeast US theme for this city, so Alleys are an essential part.

The new shopping centers and Office towers look great. The downtown is really coming together.

Hm, My viaducts are always stone, never concrete. I may play around a bit though. Meanwhile, It looks great as always, and these signs really are amazing! A rundown rust belt feel really comes out in this update, with some of the dilapidated shops and alleys.

Looks really great! I like the new industrial additions and the park really pulls the town center together.

Thanks to everyone for their comments!

As you'll see, Ive made some major alterations to the southwest to accommodate a port and a costal plain, as well as the city of Van Meer, which you can locate on the map of Westramine. And theres been some major expansion in the western portions of the City and in Highcastle. An unaltered image: A Map of where we've been and what we've seen: Enjoy!

Thanks everyone!

The M-98/ SSC Interchange is an odd interchange that grew from a simple trumpet to the monster it is today. It was first designed to Connect Downtown and Southern Sunderland with the M-98, which loops up over the north side of Sunderland. The South Suncerland Connector Highway, which is of A-Road status, greatly reduces travel time to Downtown Sunderland, even with its lights and intersections. As Development crept west, however, the trumpet was expanded to provide some partial access to the west on Southern Boulevard, the Western Extension of the SSC. An Overview: The Eastern Approach on SSC Westbound. The SSC still uses the old trumpet setup to have full access to M-98 East and West. Also, we can see the roads that provide access to Southern Boulevard. The Central Portion of the interchange where the old trumpet can clearly be seen. The Southern Approach on M-98 includes a very long, and for motorways, steep, grade down a mountainside. Because of this special speed limit matrix signs have been set up and an extra south/west bound land has been added for trucks and busses to climb the mountain without interrupting traffic flow on the main motorway. Because of this, many extra signs are present forcing large vehicles into the Climbing lane exit. The Western, partial access Approach on Southern Boulevard Eastbound. An "All-Turns" Exit provides access to the township of Brightside and U-Turns on Southern Boulevard. All-Turn Lanes are common on Southern Boulevard and SSC. I hope you guys enjoy this!!!

Awesomesauce! I like the signs, and the concrete rail viaduct looks cool! How'd you do that bit?
