Hi all and many thanks to all of your comments. I will be uploading some new screen shots soon so long as I can transfer the city to Cities XL 2011. @Animaniacs: The roads look like that due to the Australian road textures mod by Skimbo available from here: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=403&threadid=115819&enterthread=y The map is available in different unlocker mods. I recommend Globexco's one and this is also available from the above link. @gndrew: I will hopefully be uploading my city soon when I can optimise it for Cities XL 2011.

Just a couple of questions regarding maps: Is there a London map? Is there an integrated map editor? Thanks.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to say thanks to Heblem, Jesse Swiss, diamonddog_74 and dogma555 for their comments. @Diamonddog: Unfortunately the map is not 1:1 which does mean it is very difficult to get an entirely accurate road system. Also, the landmarks are part of the map and put there by Monte Cristo, so unfortunately this also creates inaccuracies as their placement was not 100% correct.

Simply amazing - great work! Would you mind posting a region view of Manhattan?

Wow! Love that last shot - it's so original!

Hi everybody, Here's a new update. I'd like to thank Pashler, Jesse Swiss, Aaron Graham, reQuiem4adream, poshbakerloo, citiesxlfan42, LivingInThePast, valhum Roger51 and TowerDude for their comments but also to Kotaku for featuring this journal on their website!

Hi everyone and thanks to Jesse Swiss, Ilikeseattle, TekindusT, jazyje and mayorsushi for your kind comments. In regard to me uploading the city, I probably will do at some point but I want to make sure it's as accurate as possible before that happens. I have recently changed quite a lot in New Jersey, including the creation of Liberty Park and Liberty Golf course. @Tekindkus Thanks for pointing that out! I'll hopefully change it soon but I'm not quite sure of what buildings to use at the moment.

Looks like a really promising start, good job. How many citizens are there at the moment?

Hi again all. I'd like to say a quick thanks to Jaybyrd05, Herdervriend, luddmamm, Jesse Swiss and kounoupi for their kind comments. Here is another update. I have done a few pictures of the traffic situation as Jesse Swiss asked - I hope they are OK! Some of these pictures are repeats of earlier ones but I've turned on AA which I think makes them look much better. @kounoupi - Thanks for your questions. I designed my grid layout from the location (angle) of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler building in order to get avenues that run North-South. I use the New York map in GlobexCo's Unlocker mod but I deleted all of the roads in Manhattan and redid them as many of them were not straight. In terms of scale I just do it from eye but the accuracy of the map (e.g. small natural harbours) helps me get my bearings. The city is just about OK in terms of playability but I have to run in on the lowest settings. Hope that answers your questions, if you have any more just ask!

Hi everyone, here's a new update. I'd also like to thank Evillions, Jesse Swiss, Herdervriend and cm39 for their kind comments. Early morning New York Manhattan from a New Jersey Highway Street view Manhattan townhouses Midtown in the early morning If anyone wants me to upload more pictures of specific places just say. Also, if anyone could point out things I could improve on that would be great!

Would it be possible to edit the amount of freight/passengers that a small airport can hold?

Hi everyone here's a small update. I have updated Downtown westward and now have the Australian road mod which changes some of the pictures. I would also like to thank TekindusT, Roger 51, hunkske, Jesse Swiss, GMT, mrtnrln, Jadus, Cockatoo-210893, cm39, Cobhris96, joshriddle, Herdervriend, Stef42 and Androv for their kind comments. I will hopefully begin a Paris CJ soon if I can overcome the problem listed in the technical problems forum.

Replys to messages: @Benedict, Aaron Graham, Animaniacs, TekindusT and nba_94- Thank you all very much ! @jazyje - Hope you liked the photos, if you would like anymore please say. @GlobexCo - Glad you liked it. Your mod was extremely useful - thank you! @socalwu - Thanks for pointing that out but for a lot of the way that road is 6 lanes anyway I think. I would change it I just fear that I don't have enough space

Hi all, I have updated the city slighty making all of the changes I said I would bar constructing Roosevelt Island as it didn't look very good. I have also removed the farms. As there are no longer any construction sites some of these pictures are the same as the originals - I just thought they looked better now. I have pretty much finished the city now so if anyone would like anymore pictures just tell me the location Midtown with updated Central Park Queensbridge housing project Peter Cooper Village - Stuyvesant Town Lower East-side housing projects Lower East-side housing projects Lower East-side New York Governor's Island Aerial shot Midtown with updated Central Park Central Park Aerial view of Manhattan Downtown Lower East-side Midtown from the Williamsburg Bridge Downtown View uptown Midtown Midtown zoomed Street view

Hi again all, here are some new photos. Sorry they are mostly of the same areas I just thought some of them looked good with the camera mod. When I have completed the aforementioned changes I will post new photos.
