Hi Heres a shot of the region so far, at the moment i've terraformed 3 large tiles, and 1 small. Coming soon: the new port facility built down the coast from Melt. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//region.JPG align=baseline>

First of all, thanks to everyone: mtbrocket mayormommy sloppet Nardo69 - thanks, i'll check out the dirt-tracks 1ajs - the wave barriers under the bridge come with the fishing port! Rochefort unseelie - thanks for that, i'm an ignoramous... chocolatemax285 jacqulina Now, a bit of an update on the development taking place opposite Melt on the other side of the river. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//river.jpg align=baseline> A major highway is being constructed to act as an artery to the sea. The first piece of development to take place has been a service station: As evening falls, theres the melancholy sense it's not just the day that has passed... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//services1.jpg align=baseline> thanks.

Thankyou! I've just been working on Melt, a small farming community even further down the inlet towards the sea. Here, the local church is the focus of the community, which only numbers 90-odd souls. Heres an evening shot taken from a passing hot-air balloon... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//church.JPG align=baseline>. The small number of houses are settled on a hillside leading down to the shore... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//houses1.JPG align=baseline> And now the farms, and the nature trails that draw visitors from Pines down the coast... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//farm3.JPG align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//farm2.JPG align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//farm1.JPG align=baseline> Alas, the onslaught of development continues. Next time, we'll see new development around Melt, as planners seek to establish a commuter town, in a prime position between the sea and inland. Thanks.

Now, a closer look at the centre of learning in Pines. Steinbeck Elementary and Lenny High are at the leading edge of new development along the East of Eden valley. Kids in these schools will be the new high-tech workers and service providers in the new era of East of Eden. For now, the sleepy schools offer a comfort blanket, shielding them from a fast developing world...The only worries are sports games and tests... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//three.JPG align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//two.JPG align=baseline> But just down the valley, expansion is under way. Heres a glimpse of the future... INDUSTRY https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//five.JPG align=baseline> AND ENTERTAINMENT THAT ALWAYS BELONGED ON TV... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//four.JPG align=baseline> thanks

huh??

Thanks! There are a few nice farms in Pines, mostly old farmers hanging on in the face of new development. East of Eden is a region of contrasts. A few years back an observatory was erected at the top of the mountain overlooking Pines, across the valley from the sleepy farms... If you look down you can glimpse the edge of Pines, with Steinbeck Elementary and Lenny High nestled beneath the wooded mountainside... The scientists posted to this mountain retreat do a little hunting from the observation post, or train their scopes on the football matches below... NB thanks mike, i'll resize my posts from now on! forgive me for these

Hi. I'm new to this forum, after having lurked a while. Theres a great community on here. I've become a big fan of SimCity4 in a relatively short period of time, its the creativity it allows for that i really love, and it just happens to be the most relaxing game ever. I've recently started to create a proper region tile by tile. This is going to be a slow-burning CJ, but i'll try and update it as often as my work allows! A whole load of modds and plugins have been used, as i'm sure you'll see. This taster pic is from Pines, the first community of East of Eden to be created, set along a wide, wooded river inlet, that eventually leads out to the sea... https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//one.JPG align=baseline>
