Well we'll have to see. Might be a bit of a story there, but want to get Rumsey all filled up first before we start into the plot.

Search the STEX for "Seasonal Farm Street" the two results are the mod, and the trees for the mod. Thanks for the comment.

Welcome to Area 052. In this, my first City Journal, I will invite you to join me as I build up a region from a series of small farming towns up to hopefully a huge nextwork of large cities. I am to try and have a blance between realism, and gameplay. So expect some girdding, but also some nice breaks into scenic wonderlands. I've amassed quite a few mods, and plugins (which sits at the moment at just over 400MB). The most radical being NAM, and CAM. The name of the CJ is actually based off the map name I'm using which is this one by blade2k5 named "Map 52". I also like have touches of home in Sim City, so you'll see lots of references to my hometown of Toronto. CN Rail trains, TTC buses and streetcars to name three. If you want to know where I picked up a particular plugin, just ask and I'll be happy to track it down. Now onto the first city of Area 052. Rumsey Rumsey is the first small town of Area 52. Home to just over 300 sims. Rumsey was founded off of rual highway 1, and its accompanying rail line. Which sees some light use. Here we can also see the town's small commercial centre, who's gas station is featured in another regions TV show "Corner Gas" Plugin The site of the town was picked also for its close proximity to lake Winacog, from which the town draws its water. For now the town looks to expand to its South. With sims hard at work at clearing away the forest that covers the vast majority of Area 052.

Hey glad to know the great people who do NAM are working on it. Also the other positive note is that the thread was locked just few weeks ago. So its not one of those projects that was started years and years ago, and just petered out. I only just got into SC4 this year (even though I bought it years ago, it just never worked on the computer I had at the time and the CD gathered dust until this one). So for a game that's 6 years old I'm glad its community is still so active

I was coming home on the bus today, and was thinking about how my suroundings would translate to Sim City. The thing that stuck out was the road the bus was traveling on. It's 3 lanes each way. Which for the major roads here in Toronto is the norm. I've often found when playing that I'm looking for some kind of transport that's larger then a road, but still not yet a ground highway. Does anyone know if something like that exists on any sites exchange?

tepodon you must never had heard of a company called Blizzard, or their game called Star Craft

Just be lucky they don't also use the term Streetcar, and Streecar Tracks as those of us in Toronto call it.
