I lost this City, because every factory was suddenly complainging, that there was no traffic. I pulled the plug at the bankaccount of - 999.725. I had about 600.000 inhabitants with a positive income rate of 50.000 until the factories started complaining Real life took over. And I started a new City. Called RiverCity a dozen times. I lost it due to stupid decisions (learningprocess), and several crashes. The last crash also made it clear to me, that I could not use the installation of NouVille anymore. I will rebuild it in a time, again. In the meantime, I learned to save the game in a rotating destinationmap. AND I started indeed RiverCity. I was encouraged by an other CitiesXL player to start a blog about CitiesXL. Placing some tips and tricks there. Show the Cities as a leading item. The blog has been started here: My link Unfortunately for a lot of people it is written in Dutch. I am not sure what I will do with the Simtropolis, as I used it also as a kind a blog.

The Town of NouVille has been creating a prospect, with some nice images about the town. The core images are about: Jobs, Living, Living in the Future and holidays. The best prospectcards are being showed below. They will make it to the bigger newspapers.

The City of NouVille has bended them over City promotions. The first they did do, was to create a logo. Here it is. The lines you see in here are equal to the first roads that have been build in NouVille. Including the only way out to the neighberhood.

Looks very nice. But that error... bad. But how did you create the pond in front of the Brandenburger Tor?

Nouville has been extended, with a Marina. Weveral wooden houses have been build on the ground, and on the water. 2 Restaurants where build, as well as a small marina for sailingboats, and a bigger pier for bigger boats. (It is a pitty, that there is no ships annimation.) Enjoy the images. Overview of the marina Overview from the land part Restaurant Marina on the water Yachtharbour, with a nice walking extension.

Many years, before the present town arose, was an old medievale village. It had several gates and an wall around it. The new city made it needed to destruct a part of the town and went underground with a connectionroad to the new part. The destroyed part was allready in a very bad shape. Left of the tunnel is the oldest part with even an old Taverne from the 14th century, and on the left bottom the road was just inside the wall, and it is called Wallstreet. The city had decided to rebuild the old village, made houses to be able to house unskilled and skilled people. Even a few shops in the old style where added. The church and well neighbouring it is from the 16th century. A 14th century well was digged up near the border of the new town. As the mayor, I can say, we made a nice job, into restauring the area. It even attracs visitors from the big neighberhood.

Relocation of A1, Connection to A2 the A that partially went around the town, was havy crowded. the town decided to rename the A1 into C1 (C from City-expressroad) and build a new highway right of the old. This one is called A1. The town was so clever to build a real highway and add a connection to the A2 and another one that ends up at the curve of the C2. As last, was a intersection build at the industrila park. And connects to the N3.

Extesion planned. Meanwhile extensions have been planned into the centre of the Village. A School, police station, firebrigade and small hospital have been build. Al buildings are medium density. And some are low density. On this moment the houses of the people have been extended to Executives and a few Elites. The village has build a townhall and several entertainment buildings. At the entry of the town are few hotels build. Below is the extended village plan. Unskilled Skilled Executives Elites Shops Offices Extension On the right in the green is the farm area. Left bottom corner is industrial park, with manufacturing and even some hightech. 1 Highways A1 and A2 are simplemented. Yet... the connection between the A1 and A2 goes over a local city avenue. The N1 and N2 are national roads. Below you will see what areas have been planned around the townhall. A school is build on the right, just outside the view, in the middle of the rubble. On the right is the townhall. In the middle the marketplace (It is not showing the stands after a few seconds. Error?)

Agriculture A big part of the cities ground, will be covert by agriculture. Only a few farms have been build here.

I had a City made in 2010, but it has gone corrupted since I opened it up in 2011. So I started a new village, with the name Nouville. Site Nouville is situated around lake Nouw. The area has been freshly bought by a project developer. Streetlayout The first streets have been curved around a nice curve in the lake. The first buildup

Change of Baysite Chronicle Baysite Chrononicle, previously the by-weekly newspaper for the jetset of Baysite (Part of former Slenk), changed to a broader public. Baysite chronicle is now a weekly magazine. It is sold in 50.000 copies. Brought at home or bought in a kiosk. Main article on Thull's Height's. Thull's Height's, renown for its attractive medieval village. Hundreds of visitors daily. But hardly anybody know's it's history. History When it all started there was nothing in the area. Just mountains, a lake and the vastness of empty. Thull's Height's was started in 1410. For nearly a few hundreds of years hidden in the mountains. Undetected by friend or foe. Got it's first connection to the world by widening the goatpath in 1869. Later replaced by a gravelroad that still exists. It goes uphill. First kilometers asfalt, later the gravel of 1969. It is winding and steep. View the image below. It is made halfway the road. You will find a fantastic view as soon as you arrive at the top. Horst and Slenk should create a nice parkingplace there, so you can have good view. Mishaps by former mayors of Slenk But you can also see the mishaps of a former mayor in 1963. Like the villages on the right for friends of him. Or the even older houses on the photo above. you can just see some modern houses from 1915. Or the parkinghouse (1993) in the middle of this nice town? Despite the concrete parking lot, it has a function. Keeping the cars of the roads. Nice around For the rest it is nice around.

We will see your reactions on the forum at Bayview Chronicle.
