I'm more going for Southern California's newer developed cities, but at least it looks like something sort of nearby lol joinapple: Thanks for commenting! tigeria: Thanks for commenting! Lots of plopping led to perfection... lol bandit22: Thanks for commenting! The road is from the Network Widening Mod, which can be found here. You'll need the NAM as well. Following the success of Phase 1 of Red Rock Ranch, Phases 2 and 3 were planned and released, selling just as fast as Phase 1. Here is Red Rock Ranch fully completed. The northern entrance to the development at the intersection of Oak Valley Boulevard and North Ranch Road. The newly completed school, Red Rock Elementary School and the surrounding Red Rock Community Park under a particularly strong California sun. The school is part of the Tower Canyon Union School District. Tower Canyon itself is a ways off and I'll probably cover it later on. In order to decrease dependency on cars within the development, Eucalytus Trail was constructed to link Red Rock Parkway, Phase 1, Phase 2, the park, and the elementary school together. Mature eucalyptus trees were transported from other places and replanted here so resident could walk along a shaded path. The intersection of Red Rock Parkway and North Ranch Road at a roundabout. (I particularly love this one because of the rock in the center) To the right, another subdivision is just about ready to be released. All it needs are houses to fill the lots. A grocery store, gas station, and Rite Aid have moved into Oak Valley, anticipating future growth in the area. With Red Rock Ranch fully completed, developers are now looking for other places to build homes, and one developer has started some preliminary grading. Next update: The beginning stages of 2 new subdivisions: The Knolls, a community with a new golf course, Oak Knolls Golf Course, and Cobb Crest, a community nestled in the hills and meant to provide sweeping views of the valley below.

Throughout the 20th century, Oak Valley remained fairly similar, still mainly small ranches. However, by the 1970s, many had gone into decline, even being abandoned. The creation of new jobs in the Inland Empire region of Southern California, roughly 45 minutes away, coupled with the need for housing led to the first housing tracts in Oak Valley. The first one, named Red Rock Ranch, is just off Oak Valley Boulevard and was the site of an old cattle ranch bought out by developers. Here, planning of streets and lots for the first phase of development begins. Altogether, the first phase will contain around 70 homes. The streets are fully paved and Red Rock Ranch is officially open to construction. Already, a few homes are being constructed. Some are even fully complete and ready for their new residents. Houses are from the low 100s, so don't miss your chance for a brand new house! The development was a major success, selling out within a year. Phases 2 and 3 are being planned out and implemented now. The entrance to Red Rock Ranch at the intersection of Oak Valley Bl and Red Rock Parkway. A typical cul-de-sac in the new development. Next update, the new construction of an elementary school, and the first retail areas will all covered.

Oak Valley has its inceptions in the late 1800s when cheap land and rumors of oil fueled settlement into the valley. Unfortunately, little was found here, and a major settlement never took place. A group of several ranches were the closest thing. The small cluster lacked commercial buildings, so people mainly lived off the land, occasionally making the trip to Tower Canyon (to be covered in a later update) for supplies. An old picture of the ranches. North of the ranches, Oak Knoll lay. It rose from the surrounding flat land, blanketed in flora. It was a popular stopping point for travelers. Later, as Oak Valley became developed, it would become host to numerous estates and the namesake of the future city to develop. A postcard dating from the 1890s-1900s of Oak Knoll.

Here's one of mine: The area is mostly a bedroom community to the jobs downtown.

Anyone know where I can find this spaceport?

Are there any lots that fit with street curves like this: (in the corner of the pic) or that fit in the cul-de-sac? I'd like my houses to fit on corner lots. If not, any ideas on how to make one?

I've got the NAM, SAM, NDEX The Balmoral, The Chadwick, etc, and the RLS Suburban Homes Collection. I think the actual homes are fine. i'm really looking for odd-shaped lots that could fit around cul-de-sacs and corners, like this:

I've been trying to figure out how to create more realistic subdivisions (here's a good example from google maps (bit.ly/dcrLbY) I've gotten some nice suburban homes but how could I lay out streets and lots to be more realistic?

I have been unable to update due to school. It's my main priority right now. I'll try to post something every now and then. Hopefully by summer, I'll be back to updating normally.

I downloaded a region from the STEX and it said that it requires SC4Terraformer, so I opened it and imported the .SC4M file into it and it came up with an error. The error said that the SC4M file is the wrong size. "It should be (1025 by 1025) but it is (1281 by 1281)" was the exact text. How can I fix this problem?

I would like to buy the second lot (the corner one) and rebuild the Paso Grand Hotel.

I think humor and maybe more of a storyline (like characters living in the city or something like that) would definitely make San Paso more interesting. Not that it isn't interesting right now. Also, how can I rebuild the Paso Grand Hotel?

I shall call it the Paso Grand Hotel.

REPLIES: s_olah: Thanks. Hawkeye9: Thanks for voting, and lol at the private springs. k4driver: Thanks. The Single Track Rail can be found over at SC4D here. N106: Thanks. Archean: Thanks. Djohaal: Thanks. chasespncr: Thanks for voting. colonel1: Thanks for voting. John Kirby: Thanks. UPDATE 10: Health Resort Sorry for not updating for a month. I've been busy. But at least I'm back updating! Option 2 won the vote, so I will update again in Firestone Hot Springs. As Firestone Hot Springs' lots were snatched up by new settlers, the first few buildings were built. Sterling's County Store, a saloon, a small hotel, and a couple homes have been built so far. A young entrepreneur parterned with James Firestone to market the hot springs as a health resort, and constructed the Cactus Grand Spa & Hotel, a gorgeous tuscan-styled building. When the Cactus Grand was built, the hot springs were restricted to guests only. This angered many residents, causing a rogue citizen to nearly set the spa building on fire. Thankfully, he was subdued in time by hotel staff. The incident eventually allowed the springs to be reopened to all residents and free services at the spa. By this happening, many people wanted houses so they could get free spa services (even though it was in the middle of nowhere). New homes were built and much of the green plants were mowed down for houses. This, in turn made green space extremely valuable as well the land the green space was on. Land prices skyrocketed, so to the north, a new development with (much) cheaper prices was built. A close-up of the new development. And last, an overview of the entire area of Firestone Hot Springs

i'd like to buy the new hotel.
