And we're back! 2 years almost now since I made a sincere attempt at recreating my home town. And I am determined to actually finish this time! Anyone familiar with the area knows all of our roads are under construction at that moment, but the roads layout I've chosen will pick and choose which versions of our highways you all get to see. For instance, my recreation will reflect what the end goal of projects along the US 69/96/287 North project is working on, but not its southern counterpart, or the I-10/US 69 interchange projects. (Mostly because I hate that the plans for that call for the removal of the Maury Meyers bridge and I like that bridge gosh dang it. How dare you TxDOT). But my rambling aside, this project seeks encompass the spirit of Southeast Texas, from the sprawling farmland to the town's west, the bustling Port of Beaumont, the Beauty of the Downtown Historic District, the stark contrast of the oil and chemical industry, and everything in between. I'm about a week into it here, and have about a third of Beaumont's infrastructure ready, having dealt with the infuriating angles where the separate grids intertwine. My next step is finishing the layout of the neighborhood southeast of downtown, then beginning work on the Port of Beaumont, and the main ExxonMobil refinery. As you can see, there isn't much detail to show yet, with most areas that are filled in only there to help me with scale and only a few hundred people on the map, all across the capriciously absent Neches River from in Rose City. I'm using the Template Central Map for this build, without using a height map, so I'm waiting to finish the infrastructure around the river before I add it to the map. Though it does exist as an empty valley between downtown and Orange County. I should have another update ready soon, as long as this hurricane isn't too bad. Hope y'all enjoy this iteration of Beaumont, Texas!

So I may have broken the game again. But I took the opportunity to just unsubscribe from everything and start from scratch. This build already has worked out much better than previous attempts. As you can tell, most of the map is desolate. But I do have a little bit to show: The end of where the Old Spanish Trail (US 90) is marked in downtown. The Crockett Street Entertainment District. The Jefferson Theatre. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have some decent progress to show.

After completely breaking my game and miraculously stabilizing it, I've lately been motivated to recreate my hometown. Beaumont is the regional hub of Southeast Texas and the center of the Beaumont-Port Arthur Metropolitan Area. The city is home to a downtown filled with historic buildings (that itself is listed as a U.S. Historic District), a major University, the 4th busiest port in the United States, and around 120,000 people. I'll explore those areas and more as we go, so for now, enjoy what I have so done so far for Downtown.

Oh thanks! I was wondering why it did that.

You'll be seeing the Nordstorm Embassy within the next two updates. For the Cascadian Embassy, I guess I'd like the New Bordeaux Embassy

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm glad I can provide inspiration!

The region so far: Running through the western part of the metro area, Cascadia National Route 215 enters the area at intersection with Ozio Rd in the suburb of Westridge. Then has an interchange with the southern end of the unfinished Beltway 10. The freeway continues north through the cities of Christmas Place and Easton. Just off the Repsdorph Blvd is the Easton Train Station, Served by Jaketon MetroRail. After passing through Easton, 215 meets Beltway 10 again, where it meets the other partial loop, Interstate 206. Then 215 goes through the city of North Easton before heading north through the mountains towards Point Barrow. Back in Collier County, branching off from Interstate 6, the Franklin Parkway acts as a business route through the town of Palmont Franklin Parkway then continues toward to the Palmont Train Station, and the main entrance for the Jaketon International Airport (The Avenue Stub). After passing the Airport, the I-6 Managed Lanes become the Collier Tollway, and head north through land slated to be developed as residential communities, then meets Interstate 3.

Thank you!

Well the main part of the city is in a very flat valley, as you move farther away from the city (Especially north) You get into the mountains, so as I expand it you'll certainly see that. And I'm definitely still learning and parts of the freeways may end up changed. Thanks for the input! Thank you!

The Region so far: Interchange of Interstates 3 and 206 in Southeast Jaketon. Which then run conjoined north, having an interchange with Interstate 6. And then the Interstates go their separate ways in Northeast Jaketon, with 206 making a partial loop around the city. And Interstate 3 heading north toward the southern end of Interstate 1, before heading off northeast toward the Prudhoe Bay/Deadhorse. The beginning of the Interstate 6 Managed Lanes/HOV in suburban Collier County. What will become Downtown Jaketon, on the shore of Lake Jaketon. The Jaketon Central Rail Terminal, Serving the Alaska State Railroad North Slope and Dalton Lines, as well as local commuter traffic, right next to Fire Station #1. The intersection of the East-West Jaketon Commuter Line and the North-South Alaska State Railroad. Alaska State Railroad passing under Interstate 206 near the suburb of Saleme, North of Jaketon.

Jaketon, Alaska, capital of the nation of Cascadia, comprising the Pacific Northwest of the old United States, the Pacific Coast of Canada, and the State of Alaska, lies nestled in a large, flat valley in the Brooks Range. (More info about Cascadia can be found Here and here) The city plays host to the headquarters of most Cascadian national government departments, as well as all foreign embassies. This City Journal will showcase the city as it develops into Alaska's largest metropolis. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! If you would like to have an embassy representing your Simnation appear in the city, and are able to create one as a BAT (as I cannot. At all. It's embarrassing how bad I am at it) feel free to find a way to get it to me! I'm working at laying down the road/highway/rail network right now, but as soon as I finish that, I'll upload the next entry to showcase it before I start development. I've had this metro area on every computer I've ever had in some form or fashion, and was recently inspired to rebuild it, and showcase it. Hope y'all find this interesting!

What downloads did you use for your airports, I'm having trouble finding them

I'm from Texas, our highways don't look like that. And frontage roads are one-way, except in rural areas

Awsome cj, very realistic
