thanks tinysim haven't seen you around much lately, glad u like it

something i have done with your uploads, i can't wait to play with whatever you come up with next

awesome 10/10

so many different BATs in this update totally sweet dude and u brought DA outta lurker status

i kinda echo mr c in that i love to cook so i always do and as a result spend around 80 or so a week on food but i make good food and always have someone over to share so it goes a long way, and compared to eating out the food is much better, i just can't stand fast food anymore, I will not take that crap!

cool looking 8/10

yes and with new road textures ok try this one new rail overpass walls removed and replaced with pillars

just a test layout with the old version of frankies lot and NCD's new stuff hopefully this weekend i will get started on a loading lot that will go where i have sim goobers now but i want to make some thing much larger.

not quite... have you ever fallen asleep standing up?

when the yankees were good

makes me laugh and smile makes me get in trouble (i have a bad one) travel

when u know every BAT by name

why must you keep raising the bar making it hard on the rest of the cj'ers

if there were cars and a train on the bridges it would be a 10, as it is 8/10

that lot is just waay too busy, too many colors and conflicting designs it is really distracting from the building

hmmmm upgrade the streets, but add traffic, seems counter intuitive, besides there is an avenue and feeder roads, to go along with the fact that commerce likes heavy traffic, so the roads will stay the same, what i will do is wait longer for the traffic automata to load when taking pictures.

Originally posted by: Odainsaker Always great stuff. For those who are not familiar with the terms, "Edo" was the original name for pre-modern Tokyo, which was the powercenter of the Tokugawa shoguns from the 1600s to the mid-1800s. Under this last samurai regime, Japan isolated itself from the world, focusing inward while centering its political and ultimately economic life onto Edo, which grew immensely and saw an amazing flourishing of popular native art and culture, perhaps similar in effect as the Renaissance was to Europe. Focused on the crowded city of Edo, the outlook was urban, with themes of city life and city entertainment. This was the golden age of kabuki theater, geisha wards, and woodblock mass printing, and it also saw the rise of the merchant class and consumerization. Many of modern Japan's large department stores, trading houses, and corporate giants have their small-shop roots in this era. "Edo Period" and "Edo Style" refer to this point in time and its art and architecture. "Nagaya" are a type of row house or long house, where numerous small units shared one long roof with a single long ridgeline. Often numerous dependant families or samurai vassals or a lord could all be uniformly and compactly housed in these, and they naturally appeared in great numbers in Edo. The shogunal city of Edo was built as defensive rings around a castle with multiple moats and defenses, and its crowded lowlying waterfront areas were built over river estuaries, so much of the city depended on a spiderweb of canals and small rivers for transportation, and canal features are prominent in its urban appearance. Being a "fake Edo style," the tall apartments buildings of course are going to be somewhat fantastical, as the only really tall multi-leveled building was the keep of the shogun's castle. Hmmm, I wonder if NOB is quietly also planning the many daimyo mansions, vast white market warehouses, and bustling urban temples from this era as well. quote>
