I'm back. I have a little bit more time; not much, but a little. Posts will be seldom at best, but the fact that I'm back still has me baffled. I promised I would bring a new region in to light - that region was partly damaged due to file transfer, so only a handful of cities had survived as a result. But fortunately, I was able to develop a small "provincial" region with over 1,200,000 residents. Allow me to walk you through some miscellaneous pictures. 1) Above is the smaller town of Lindley, with a population of 6,551. It straddles a northern development corridor, a distance from the largest city in Columbia, Northampton. The road to the right, Route 74, climbs the ridge and serves as a pivotal link between Lindley and points west on the Hashen Plateau, including Mountainville. 2) The Hashen Bridge was constructed in 1978, while the majority of Columbia province was much smaller than it was today. Originally a main link across the region (with Lindley at the time being an important transportation town), it has since been overshadowed by numerous freeways and other regional routes; the bridge today carries local traffic between Lindley and rural areas outside of Northampton. 3) Further down the valley from Lindley is the moderately sized community of Midland, which has a population of 22,642. Midland saw quite considerable gentrification and expansion in the late 1990s with the construction of Highway 21 to the immediate west. Midland has, as of recent, become more of a commuter city, as the population has steadily increased with the surrounding Auburn and Northampton suburbs approaching city boundaries. 4) Appropriately named "The Crossroads", this area is the result of an 11 year expansion project, aimed at joining city of Cambridge and the metropolis Northampton. Here, Highway 21 continues towards the top of the image, and the newly reassigned Highway 72 continues into a lengthy tunnel, where it emerges at the foot of the Hashen River. The area here is officially designated as part of Cambridge, and the development around this new interchange has exploded. The reassignment of Highway 72 gives suburban areas a much faster, direct route into the Northampton area, whereas before commuters were required to encounter Auburn traffic and encounter the previous terminus of Highway 72 north of Midland. https://i.imgur.com/U424g3l.jpg[/img ]5) Here we see Highway 72 meandering to the right of the screen in the city of Riverton, right next door to the thriving metropolis of Northampton. Riverton sits on the northern shore of Hashen Bay, with ferry and subway services providing easy access to Northampton without use of car. Towards the top of the picture is Route 37, which is a major surface artery for the smaller cities around Northampton. Not pictured to the bottom is Lancaster Island, which serves as a convenient turn west for the Highway 72 towards Cambridge; a small industrial park is also found here. And, last but certainly not least.... ^^^^^ (unfortunately, this region is solely medium tiles, so I can't go too far without exposing edges. But since this was at night and it wasn't too terrible, I found it hard to pass up.) (pro tip 2: demolish those darn manufacturing tiles so they don't show zots and ruin another picture.) 6) All of the above are of Northampton, a city currently straddling a population of 775,000 and a greater urban area of 908,000. Northampton is comprised of one large peninsula, as well as two islands to the south and east. But more on that later....this was just an intro. It's good to be back. Not sure when the next one will be, but I look forward to continuing this CJ. Until next time.

Timbuktu has been extremely successful for me as well - my region has 1,200,000 people with three principal cities and suburbs. Probably my proudest creation. Maybe I'll start a new CJ when I have time, who knows.

Hey guys, I recently installed the NAM v35, and I thought I should bring this to the NAM team's attention. The regular concrete avenue bridge (no slope needed for approach, high enough for water traffic) has disappeared completely from the game. It appears invisible, and when I went to replace it, it kept saying the terrain was not feasible for bridge placement. That being said, this bridge still appears for the standard road network. Will this be fixed in an update? Thanks.

I'm waiting for those tract houses.......and I'll get them as soon as I get my computer back in ;-). Either that or I'll just do the same on this old ailing computer and put all of the new files from here on my flash drive. Your homes and industrial buildings are awaited.

Your work is awesome, but..... Have you ever worked on some Brisbane or Gold Coast buildings? Perhaps some old BATs lying somewhere inside your computer? That would be awesome. ^^^^ Not trying to put pressure on you, just wondering

I'm listening to Poe, a singer from the late 90's who last put an album out in late 2000. She's currently working on a new release for her hardcore fans like me "Haunted" "Lemon Meringue" "Could've Gone Mad" "That Day" If you're into 90's music or grunge or something, this would be in your range.

Once there were two toddlers, one named House and one named Senate. They hated each other. When House didn't want his Lego brick anymore, he handed it to Senate. Senate, irritated, threw the Lego back at House. They kept doing this for days. The immature mother, Barack Obama, kept screaming at House and Senate to get along, and did not do anything to stop the bickering. The mother then pointed her finger at House, blaming everything on him. Senate chuckled and laughed, and then the mother slammed on him. They then had a time-out session in the same room together where they kept going at it....... Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the United States government.

Lot Creator died a peaceful death at an old age with his family members beside him. The end.

This is the city's actual center. But I decided to zone an outlying district for other residents. The city is closing in on a decent 60K.

You did a RCT journal. I freaking LOVE you.
