@sejr99999 I'm glad to here you enjoyed it! no lot editing was used in this update, though. I can't seem to find the time to sit down and learn how to use it. I've probably used it 4 times at the max haha.

Welcome back to Borussia! SC4 decided to cooperate and let me get some screen shots today so here is the second part of the Amesbury update, followed by our travels through the South Bannockburn Area. Yesterday we left off in the Upper Amesbury neighborhood, located on the hill overlooking the highway. Downhill and to the west lie more modern homes. Back onto the highway we encounter many retail stores, a sign we are getting closer to Bannockburn. More stores. Homes lie on the hillside as we drive on down the highway. Away from the highway perched on the hills lie the windmills that give power to many of the locals. Condos and apartments replace the stores as we continue east. Driving off the highway we are covered by the shadows of the large condos to our left. In the middle of the urban mess lies a center of learning and a baseball field for the kiddies to play on. Grundge meets modern in some places of South Bannockburn We encounter another school, as well as a pitch and a Gridiron Football field. Both are used by amateur teams. Beside the sports complex lies St. Nicolas Church, nicknamed "the Church of the People" since it resides among the lower wealth apartments and industries. We'll end today's update with a view of one of the local parks Hopefully you enjoyed this much longer update. Thanks for viewing

@HazaniPratama thanks man, i'm glad you liked it

Well if you remember this CJ from like 8 months ago, congratulations! I had planned on doing some updates throughout the winter...and spring...and summer but I stepped away from SC4 for a short break that turned into about an 8 month hiatus haha. I'm not sure how active my CJ will be in the upcoming months since college begins soon, but before it starts I will try to have at least 2 updates for you all to see. *I intended on having a large amount of photos for this update, but good ol SC4 kept crashing to desktop (woohoo!). So this update will be short (boo) Okay enough of me talking, lets begin. Last update we ended in the old port of Port Vale. Continuing on the highway inland we drive into the suburb of Amesbury. The Amesbury suburban area includes the far edge of Duke's Point, as seen by the grundge above. West side of Amesbury contains many row houses from the industrial days of old. Down the highway we enter the small but entertaining Old Station Lane, known for its old buildings and plazas. Lots of lil cafe's and restaurants are located here. Farther out from the Highway and the station lies the suburban areas. Most of the populace of Amesbury lives here on the hill or close to it. Close up you can see the Court House and the local pitch. Many of the timberframe buildings were the first businesses in the town. When Upper Amesbury (the occupied area on the hill) and Old Station Lane merged to form the town of Amesbury, each community fielded their top XI and played each other on the pitch. Upper Amesbury won and named the new town Amesbury as a result. On Founder's Day each year a two teams play each other, one from the Lane and one from Upper Amesbury. Part 2 coming soon. Hope you all enjoyed this (very) short update

@Ln X: thanks! as for vehicles they seem to disappear when i put the game in pause and i don't know exactly how to get them to reappear while the game is paused...   @Alex_1210 i didn't aim for a clean and fancy city so that's why it may seem cold to you. Now that you mention it the church surrounded by the apartments does seem like a scene out of Eastern Europe   @Konstantinll this area isn't the center/cbd of the city and the surroundings (tree covered hill) are eventually surrounded by homes that will be shown later. For a real rural community check out one of my earlier updates :D   @urielgarcia I'm glad you liked it!

hooray for twitter updates *clicks follow button*

After taking a break from playing sim city, i was going to start up again. Only problem is that i have lost the game disc and none of the local stores in my area sell the cd. Is their any cheap but reliable sites you guys know about to buy the game off of

thank you guys for your responses. I will probably try to get a CD first since prefer owning a tangible object, but if i can find it on sale at steam i would get a copy off of that as well.

So you're trying to say these aren't pics off the internet? haha great job on those mosaics

@titanicbuff @Jamonbread i'm glad you guys enjoyed the filth, too

Welcome back to Borussia! We leave our hotel by the soccer stadium and hit the road to see more, after eating breakfast of course! Some of the morning commuters already are at the station. We head on south and pass by a quiet neighborhood tucked away by the old roundhouse. Down the road we enter the St. James neighborhood, known for its historic row houses. A school is located nearby to educate the lil Borussians. The row houses begin to give way to the decaying urban wasteland known as Duke's Point. The Roosevelt Row cuts off the hood from the railway that divides Duke's Point from the stadium district Pillar Square marks the historic spot where the Duke of Bannockburn lived in his mansion over 300 years ago. The large estate was aquired by West Borussia in the 1800s and quickly grew into a densely populated area by the early 1930s. Now years of neglect are starting to show as the district has turned into a trash filled eyesore. The boardwalk along the coast and the parks built in empty lots are the only bright spots Trash blocks parts of the roads further down. The school and its grounds offer some non-trash space for the locals The haze of pollution hangs in the air from the industries located in and south of Duke's Point Even though most people are quite poor, many still spend numerous summer afternoons at the old ballpark rooting on the Duke's Point Hammers. The 'Working Man's Team' hasn't been too successful in their history but they did make the playoffs this past season. Blocks away lies Duke's Hammer Co., the go-to spot for hammer production this side of Borussia. Behind the hammer company lies Hi Rise Park, an area that was redeveloped from row houses into large tenements Duke's Point in whole Going south we see less grunge and more historic buildings as we transition into the industrial town of Port Vale. Hotel Port Vale offers great views of the sea, but at a hefty cost per night. The town is full of industries, as the port that once occupied the coast shipped goods all over the region. A ferry stop is now the only source of boat traffic these days. Like any Borussian town, Port Vale also has its own football club, Port Vale FC. The club hasn't had much recent success but has won 9 titles since being founded in 1897. The avenue takes us to the historic brewery, where the best drinks have been made since 1880. The company still brews but nowadays makes more money off of tours. Less hustle n bustle as we go down the road. The old railyard sits in between the trees and the high tech waste management center behind the road. Houses and some old industrial buildings occupy the other side of the road. That does it for today's update. Next time we'll make our way to back through the East Banks and enter the metropolitan area.

@16minuteman haha 99% of what you saw is from the stex, lex or simpeg4 so if you want to you could get all the lots you want quite easily

@Liszak here is the row houses, there's also some more on the LEX https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=350 https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=351 the sea walls are marrast's embankment set http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/16655-marrasts-embankment-set/ @raynev1 @Benedict @Black3200 @Schulmanator I'm glad you all enjoyed the update. It took awhile to make it but it was worth the time to give it the grungy look that you see in the pics

The only one I can think of at the moment, a little tropical or mediterranean marina is the Sure thing,you can build a harbor with Pegasus modular set. Sure thing,you can build a harbor with Pegasus modular set. I will send you a message containing information about the PEG OWW2 docks. I found the docks that i was looking for, it was in #1 Med inspirations. thank you though for the help though

does anyone have a link to a pack of mediterranean marina lots? it was either in the stex or in a cj earlier this year but i can no longer seem to find it

@OzumaRukasu western fast food is deemed acceptable by the government here, no matter how greasy and fattening it may be

Welcome back to Borussia! As stated in the last entry, our journey through Borussia is going to be in more populated areas now instead of the small rural towns of before. Our first stop is the suburb of South Point, which is located NW of the center of the city of Bannockburn (which we will seeing later). The driver awakens us as we enter the suburban community of South Point, located on the extreme southern tip of the island we criss-crossed in the previous updates. The houses on the shore may be small, but the prices they sell at aren't! Turning left we drive past the chain stores; typical sights in any suburb. As seen above, South Point is a mix of multi-level apartments and one family homes. Some neighborhoods have embraced expansion while others have resisted, resulting in apartments being constructed beside houses. Following the highway over the bridge you can see more apartment blocks. At the eastern edge of South Point is the HQ of a large business that sells something called a tablet computer, whatever that is. Many employees live in the row across the highway. Behind the complex lies the stairs to the sandy beach. Our driver turns around as our tour of this suburb ain't over yet. Returning over the bridge we turn left and arrive in downtown South Point. The downtown has been left mostly unchanged for nearly 60 years. Some buildings such as the Old Market and the fire station have been around since before the 1900s. The market still houses many quality vendors even with the competing supermarket being located just down the road. Nestled between the hi rises and the downtown lies a pocket of homes not yet turned into apartments. With growing populations the transition will come eventually. For now, though, the homes remain. Past the homes lie hi-rises offering great views of the vast ocean. Many locals walk or bike on the walkway on the coast. At the southern point of Stafford Isle sits the tallest condos of South Point, Point Place 1 & 2 On the south side even more condos and hotels line the highway. This area is known for its sculpture park located beside the South Point Hotel. Condos line the highway until it turns back towards downtown. Overview of South Point: Eastern/SE portion Western portion We make our way out of South Point over the East Banks Bridge and continue our tour on mainland Borussia. As we cross the strait we enter the East Banks neighborhood. Here is where houses become less and less common while apartments and condos become the norm. The highway takes us south. The highway bends, giving room for the West Bannockburn Hospital. Beside the hospital is the medical school of Bannockburn University. Many students and employees occupy the housing around the hospital. We reach another turn in the highway as we encounter the central hub of the East Banks, the stadium district. Down on the shore lies an old church, a relic of a bygone era in Borussia. Once a popular place of worship, it now is a museum. The entrance to the museum complex is hidden behind the businesses lining the highway. The offices along the highway house the jobs of many South Point commuters, while the condos offer views of the entire suburb. One can't visit the East Banks and not visit the stadium of Railsplitters FC. The club was formed by local railway workers that fixed the rails just yards away from the present stadium. In the club's 118 year existence, they have won 21 league titles as well as numerous tournaments and cups. The club draws fans from all over Borussia and regularly has sellout crowds for home fixtures. Many locals can be seen wearing their favorite 'Rails' apparel. Our driver takes us to a local hotel for us to relax and get ready for our next stop, the working class neighborhood of Duke's Point.

@16minuteman yeah i try to add a lil of everything to each location

@raynev1 thanks, i hope you can manage to wait for me to churn out the next update @HazaniPratana @testuser1234 @lovemax i'm glad you all enjoyed the update! @Wubbat i hope you have something to clean that up lol

i don't get it, i dont see the banana republic store in the picture...haha looks good and colorful

Here is the first update for Borussia! But before we can get to see more we must learn a bit of background info. This is the flag of the Union of Borussia. Borussia is made up of multiple kingdoms, states and city states that were joined together after civil war 100 years ago in a sort of socialist constitutional monarchy. The people of Borussia have a parliament that has a state house (the Borussian Diet) that represents the states and the people's house (the Populist Diet) which represents the people. Borussia is made up of two ethnic groups: English speakers of Anglo decent and German speakers of German decent. The western lands are mainly English while the eastern lands are populated by German speakers. We'll start our journey in the far northwest on an island that is just off the coast of western Borussia. Our ride will be on a classic Borussian galleon that sails around the waters of Borussia with a handful of tourists. As we sail through the waters the first glimpse of Borussia comes into view... We sail down to shore but are informed that we will have to use lifeboats to reach the shore, as there is no dock for us to land at in close proximity. The captain drops anchor then leads us by sailboat to the shore. Looks like a car is here to pick us up After we make our way to the car we follow the shadowed road past the foot of Green Cape Hill The road then takes us to a paved road and a small power station, signs of civilization And shortly after we reach our first stop, the small community of Green Cape We grab a bite at the local restaurant and drop off our luggage at the inn. With some daylight left the driver takes us up the hill to see the historic lighthouse that used to guide ships away from the rocks on the coast Another view of the front of the hill As night approaches we retreat to the Green Cape Inn. Clouds roll in and out of the area throughout the night After breakfast we head on south of town to explore more And the rural Green Cape area in whole next time we'll visit another rural area, West Banks. Leave a comment, advice, suggestion, etc.

is there something that removes the brown texture on the bottom of railroad tracks that are placed near a lot?
