Welcome to my cj, I know there are real places called Copper Basin, however this one is not based on any of those. By the way, I am using the painted desert mod. Pic 1.1 - Here you see an overview of the city so far. The downtown is really going to spread out, and should be my biggest one I have made: edit: downtown looks more like the pic in the header now Pic 1.2 - Some development near a major highway interchange: Pic 1.3 - Another shot with some of the colors of the desert: Hope you enjoy, this is a change for me!

Wow Jill what an update!! Those pics of the park are perfect... sorry I'm not as good at it as you! haha You seem to have gotten even funnier than last time I checked out your cj... I mean captions like got wood? and vertical shafts are the best... sure got a rise out of me!! lol (you aren't going to get those past me!!) I love your copper mining area too... why does the name sound familiar? Princess Jillian.. whew, what a fox!! Anyway, keep up the great work and all the hilarity... and congrats on the Trixie!!

OMG... I can't believe I won a Trixie, especially for best desert themed cj... I can think of a handful right off the bat that are more worthy than mine! But thank you so much... it is an honor and I'm sorry I couldn't continue this cj for you... my intentions were to just put it on hold but my computer broke and I lost everything... all my cities... edited lots... everything gone. It is a bummer but I do intend on starting from scratch and coming up with something else for you all in the future, so until then thank you all and God bless. Chris

Dude... awesome. Still laying it down I see, I predict a Trixie for you in the near future!

Wow Jill, your little town is becoming so modern! I remember when they were traveling by horse and now what's this... invisible cars?! Your comments are great and still make me laff owwt lowd! Can't wait to see Triple Rock Lake, maybe someone will catch a delicious bass. haha! CheezFry

connor_v - Thank you for the great review! That was completely unexpected, I thought you had to make a request to have your cj reviewed! But it was a wonderful surprise and you did an excellent job!

Nice update Jill! Like everyone else said, your pics look great!

Here is some from Aquaville... There are actually alot of BATs available on the STEX to use to make some really nice suburban sprawl!

wouanagaine - Thank you! If possible, I let the buildings grow on their own and when something I like grows, I make it historical. I try to only plop if the building is only ploppable or if it is taking to long to grow what I want!

ARbjjkigyv*****ut,., WHERE AM I?!!! lol, sorry... I am being a senile old coot again! (a dead one, too) Great update again, the paper is hilarious and I see you snuck in the oatmeal part, lol. Sorry I'm not around here very often anymore, but I have not closed my cj so I will be back. Keep up the hilarity, Jillburger!

Hey great update again, Jill... freakin hilarious!!! So I guess I invented the skyscraper then, cool! And you didn't say how I died... was it of old age? Or did I get struck down by lightning while I was in one of the brothels! lol (Imagining the thunderstorm golf scene during 'Caddyshack') lol Cheesefries

Great update, Jill! I didn't even know you had made one... you must have snuck it by me! Those farms you make still kick major booty, as does everything else! When you kill me off, make it something cool... I don't want to choke on my oatmeal or something like that! lol Oh, I also work with a lot of hoes!!! hahaa Cheesefries

I'm sorry but, lol!

All those stadiums are really impressive!

I don't take cover until the power goes out and the house starts shaking. lol

Okay, here's the new arena that will be opening next month in Tulsa. It was designed by Cesar Pelli, most famous for designing the Petronas Twin Towers. It is called the BOK Center (Bank of Oklahoma):

Those airport mosaics are awesome, sorry I haven't posted in here in forever! The night teasers kick a$$ too!

This is awesome! Everything from the history, to the name of the buildings and places, and the overall look of downtown come across as a mix of OKC and Tulsa. It makes it really interesting that way, to me at least! Just little things like how the arena is called NOk Arena, which is like the name of the BOk Arena in Tulsa - yet it looks like the Ford Center in OKC, which I think was built in 1996 just like your NOk Arena. You really nailed it on the head with the Art -deco and all of the surface parking lots! The downtown overview is sweet too, great cj!

I haven't done this in a while so... The_sanderson - Looks like attack of the cloned trees. And why are most of the cars in the picture circling around that one building in the bottom right corner? That must be where everyone goes to kill themselves! panthersimcity4 - It looks like Hell crapped out 4 apartment buildings. Nice work with that. IDS2 - Thanks for posting that pic. That sack of sh*t is going to haunt my dreams for the rest of my life! Now I know what the plague would look like if it were a city. Shame on you. tymbark - You posted the same crappy picture twice. For those unfortunate enough to have clicked on both of them, it's like flushing the toilet only to have the turds reappear. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Here is a special mayoral inauguration update for luker91! ky72x - Thanks, I try to include the newest buildings to keep Copper Basin feelin' fresh, thanks for noticing! Yeah, without simgoober my suburbs would be almost empty! lol Thanks for the comments! dfnva - Thank you! That's okay, I don't mind when people repeat compliments! lol Schulmanator - Thanks, I'm glad you like my night pics! Here are a few more for you! luker91 - You are correct! wooohooo! Yeah, that is the busiest Eckerds in the city, so it had to stay put! Glad you enjoyed looking through my older updates! Hope you enjoy your time as mayor, lol! hunkske - Thank you very much! Twenty20 - Thanks, I'm glad you like the realism and the night shots! binobi - Thank you! I'm filling in around downtown first, and then I will get to work on those suburbs! Jill Jacobs - lol, they would never rename the city Jacobs Basin, neverrrrrrrr!!!! Unless the right amount of money is offered! consider this update an early b-day present! lucky7 - Thanks, hope you like this update! packersfan - Thanks, and I will try to keep it up!! Okay, so things surrounding Mayor Luker's inauguration didn't exactly go as smoothly as planned. Here's what happened... Here is an aerial view of Copper Basin the morning of Mayor Lukers inauguration ceremonies. All seems peaceful so far... Here is a look at some new developments on the southwest side of downtown, this is the area where the ceremony takes place... Another view of this area, now lets zoom in more and see what happened... The outgoing mayor, Mike Hunt, is making his last drive in to city hall from his home in the suburbs of south Copper Basin. He decides to take a detour to check out some of the new developments... He becomes very angry when he turns on to Luker Avenue. He was mayor for two terms and only had one thing named after him, the Mike Hunt Sewage Treatment Facility. He also notices the beautiful new park that was a project of his, is now named Luker Park. While he's at the stoplight, he sees a vagrant aproaching the window. He normally ignores them, but he wants to be more liked so he rolls down the window to give him some money. The vagrant then begins urinating violently all over Mike Hunt... He speeds off, becoming even more infuriated as he passes Luker Condominiums... He heads up Luker Avenue, driving past the Copper Basin National Library, where the ceremony is scheduled to take place later that night. Trying to calm himself down, and dry off, he lowers his convertible top. At that same time, a flock of birds begin defecating all over him... It is later that evening, time for the inauguration ceremony. All of Copper Basin's elite have been invited... As Mayor Luker is sworn in, many of the guests begin popping open bottles of champagne. One of the guests, Dee Snider - CEO of her company Dee's Nuts, inadvertantly sprays all over Mike Hunt, getting him soaked... That is the last straw, Mike Hunt takes off in his car towards city hall... As he's heading back up Luker Avenue, he notices a banner hanging from a building that says "We love you Mayor Luker! Mike Hunt, go F yourself!" He runs and grabs a gun from his desk at city hall... He then drives over to the new office tower in downtown, the headquarters of Dee's Nuts... He heads straight for the roof, where he threatens to kill himself. Wanting to avoid a lengthy standoff, the police arrive and immediately shoot Mike Hunt. Now they can make it back to the station in time to watch Big Brother!... everything is now peaceful again... and Copper Basin can finally welcome Mayor Luker in style, with an all night kegfest! Hope you all enjoyed that!

That is pretty cool, thanks for the tutorial. You teach-ed me a lot! lol Oh and happy birthday tomorrow!

LOL!!! Oh my God, I don't know how you are going to ever top that update! First of all, just the fact that you used the same picture of Ron Burgundy but changed the caption to world class d-bag should get you a nomination for a trixie! I literally sat and laughed at that for minutes! Your overview pics of Eden's Prairie looks so awesome and your captions were again so freakin hysterical to go along with all of your other great pics, I am very impressed! This one did confuse me though... The number of brothels tripled from 1 1/5 to 4 1/5 (the half refers to the Archer Farm, where Sean Archer's four daughters were...well known). But your picture of Mt Grace was breathtaking, as well as Eagle Creek. And it is good to know that I am back in charge! Oh and I almost forgot the best part, the big brown POO!! lol Looking forward to more great pics and hijinks!

East St Paul looks awesome! I don't know how you manage making towns like that without using roads, but it looks sweet - so keep doing what you're doing!

That's a great looking city, I love all the parks by the canals - it's a nice touch! Looks like Bob the Builder did a lot of work!

luker91 was correct and is the new mayor of Copper Basin! Now I have to get to work on the new update(s) that he will be featured in!
