Like the crops photo a lot! The town is simple but looks really nice.

Amazing work! I love the humor you use also ("Free pedal boats for everyone ")

"Carnage in Suburbia"-- haha, nice! Cool, unique town terrain.

I agree with above comments: the maps are like wow-amazing

Great work once again! It's always exciting to see how you've gone about recreating the region

Interesting poll. I voted SC4, although I almost voted for SimCity Classic for nostalgia's sake alone! I can remember devoting countless hours to it as a kid and can still hear that weird "honk honk" noise the ships made

No problem. Yeah, the R$$$ can be a pain in different ways. I'm a benevolent dictator so my sims get top educational and medical facilities, although too many wealthy residents can be resultant. I'll discourage R$$$ a bit by setting a high tax rate, 9.5% or so compared to 9.3% for R$ and R$$

Nice buildings and layout!. For population, it could be a lot of R$$$ moved into previously R$$ or R$ zones, as they generally have a lower population count than the lower wealth lots.

Interesting view of a busy downtown. The capacity state of Perry Station reminds me commuting in my city during rush hour

I can see why Turtle Beach is named as such! Great details on the terrain and under water.

Awesome work here! That farm picture is masterful!

Ahh- the SimScout Merit Badge is so cute!

Cool road work

Congrats to the winners! Very well deserved, beautiful entries here

Rumors of a small chain of islands hidden away in the southern reaches of Rodentia have caused a small exodus from Squirrelton. Led by the charismatic politico Nancy Pelosi-Groundsquirrel, the migrants have decided to name their new settlement Isle of Mouse. There was some concern over the remoteness of Isle of Mouse. Many wondered how the settlement’s location would impact regional trade routes and if it was strategically a defensive weakness. Mayor Nutter worried that its distance would make spying on Nancy Pelsoi-Groundsquirrel (as he collects regular intel on all other current mayors) impossible. The Isle of Mouse is technically several islands surrounded by the Hamster Water Bottle Sea. The islands were believed to be formed by volcanic activity, although the volcanoes have been dormant for thousands of years. Being so new, Isle of Mouse is still quite underdeveloped and townspeople are still in a constant battle with nature, constantly clearing the encroaching brush and jungle from roads and paths. Rumors exist that hint of a spiteful Mayor Nutter secretly traipsing around in the dead of night, re-planting all flora cut the workday before. The most significant export of the Isle of Mouse is the Ignatius rock found all throughout the bays and capes. Once extracted, shipped, and combined with the Alfalfa Ore found in Gopher’s Pocket and the technology chips made in Squirrelton, the rock, metal, and electronica form the Industrial Music genre. Residents naturally take advantage of their nautical location, relying on seafood as their main food staple, and so pastoral farming is in less demand. Seen next to Pelosi-Groundsquirrel’s mayoral estate is a banana farm. The bananas are used solely for feeding the thriving house and door mouse population. Fort Del Raton provides naval defense, as well as functioning as a suitable port of entry for island visitors and future citizens. Mayor Ishamel Rotte of Ratsfjord recently visited Isle of Mouse via boat. When asked for his full name at a processing checkpoint, he replied “Call me Ishmael.” ----------------- Credits: Mods are SimPeg (MTP, SPAM, Pond, Stream, Lighthouse, Rail Mod, (lots and mayor-mode ploppables)) Murimk’s rocks, ALN Pasture Flora, Cycledogg trees, SFBT trees, NAM & SAM, Lowkee33’s Appalachian terrain, SHK HD Rock Mod & HD Brigantine 2.0, Riverside Beach Mod, Cobb Seaside Villa, BSC temple, GDV tropical beach, HBS tropical flora. (Unfortunately !) Didn’t have too much time for SimCity this week so I guess this is a mini update. Mainly wanted to just try out a somewhat different climate type. ------------------- Replies: @chrisul10: Thanks! It was pretty fun finding all the custom lots and piecing them together. @Schulmanator: Me too re: archeology! Dr. Wrecks is hoping to delve into palaeontology. Need more dinosaurs @thejokerangel: thanks, will do, sir! @Blakeway: Nooo, come back! Thanks for liking the entry though @supercitys354262: Dr. Wrecks is deeply disturbed by your comment @NMUSpidey: Aw thanks! Yeah sometimes at work or when I'm out and about I'll think of a particularly good rodent joke but by the time I get home it's gone @MilitantRadical: Thanks! The Argonath statue has definitely been the most unique file I've found on the LEX so far. It'd be funny if it was the size of an entire city tile, with room only for a windmill and one or two houses. @Mastof: Thanks! When I find new MMP rocks and plants, I get excited as a rat in a dumpster. @emperordaniel: Hahaha, thanks! I was (perhaps too) pleased with myself when I came up with Hammy Rabi @blunder: thanks. Had fun with them, it strains my brain to think of the work involved with BATing them *For some reason, all of the reputation points I gave out and that were given to me have been erased from the last entry. Sorry about that but not sure why-- could be a glitch in the system or perhaps an insecure, disgruntled teen? ---------------------- As always, thanks for looking at Isle of Mouse and my City Journal The Region of Rodentia!

Ah, so I see now! Great details in both the story-telling and the terrain itself. To quote a certain NJ politician: "Get the hell off the beach!"

Cool parks-- looks really realistic!

Wow, nice!

Yay, awesome selections! Congrats to all

I like the look of your industrial areas and cool region view also!

Looking nice! Wow, a spaceport is really a sign of expanding 3: more foodstuff!

Wanted to comment earlier but my internet was rebelling. This is really interesting, integrating the western US map with your planned cities-- cool! [6] [79, 84] [236]

So beautiful! I love the look of the pebbles lining the streets

Nice work! I like how the path leads from Odana to Somerset St.

FelinEx and Golden Paws... *shudders* Awesome work! I love the layout and your use of the custom buildings.
