The Mayor of Hiversbridge

The district just north of Hiver, known as Orthiver for the small city that resides there, is where I spent most of my uni days. It was in the suburb of Wesbridge to be exact, a 20 or so minute walk down to the river. While we often made the trip down to Hiver central, I've got fond memories of the local watering holes in the downtown's that seem to litter the district. In the summer Orthiver was cricket mad, and I remember descending on the Madelyn Rage Grammar School to watch the local high school team. It was a strange little culture - a district that goes mad over high school sports, but it was a lovely way to spend a summer day, drinking beers hidden in brown paper bags in the school grounds. There was a little Cathedral, St Edwards, to the north of the district, and St Edwards square had a lovely and eclectic array of shops. One of my close friends lived their, so I often caught the tram up to meet him in one of the shady coffee shops. It was the bridge that used to reside here that gave the city of Hiversbridge its name. The old one fell apart long ago, but the new one stands resplendent over the river to this day. The view of it from Wesbridge where I lived was beautiful. I'd spend many an afternoon wondering as to what magical engineering could have built such a structure. The eastbanks of the district were far quieter, full of little cottages and terraces that Hiversbridge is known for. They were designed by one man and built on mass throughout the inner city. In the old days they were seen as cheap and decrepit. Now you can hardly afford one. While I did love my time here, the callings of other parts of the city were too strong. That and the rent was far too expensive. But I still love to visit the district when I can.

Experimenting with the top down region view perspective

Thank you! Most of them are AP's ships. I used quite a few of their packs in these images. In terms of getting them to work, I had this process: Use PIMX to create a lot with the ship prop Use Loteditor to make it ploppable on water and raise it up to the water level (as explained by AP in their tutorial). You probably can do this with another tool but I find it easier with Loteditor. Use Ilive Reader to delete the ground layer (AP also explains how to do this in their tutorial) It took me awhile to get working, so if you need more detailed instructions feel free to PM.

Back in its rightful spot

Thank you!

I was able to get growth when I turned off the building style and enabled a different one. So that narrows down the problem a little for me

Has this been released? It looks super nice

Looks beautiful. What houses are you using there?

As an additional note we got a limited amount of growth in these zones when I plonked down the farmers market? Does that help anyone narrow it down?

It's definitely not the growth stages in this instance as we've had the buildings grow elsewhere with ease. This being said I'm going to look into this as an option all the same. Growify is an option but due to amount that needs to be grown it's not an ideal option for me.

It actually never occured to me that the styles are being rejected. I might see if I can get something else to grow - ie Maxis lots, to trouble shoot further

So I've got a couple of zones that are refusing to grow. I'm trying to get a certain style of R$$ to grow and am using the building styles mod to achieve this. While it's seems to have worked fine for awhile some of the zones have decided that they will not be growing. I've installed cheater lots to reduce the CAP and maximize desirability but to no avail. We also have more than enough jobs to go around. We have excellent facilities good hospitals, schools fire protection etc. Water isn't a problem either (I use the 'howdryiam' cheat). I'm really at a loss here, does anyone have any advice? Is there something I'm missing?
