Hey Its been a while. Some of you might remember me from years ago, but I see tons of new faces in the community. It feels nice to be playing this game again, and to see the plethora of new mods I missed while I was away. I started SC4 back up a few months ago and after playing for a few months Im in a place where im content starting another CJ to show off the region I've been working on. Its not too special, Im trying to keep it simple especially regarding mods. There are many regions like it but this one is mine. Its a big region and there's plenty to show off. I am also playing the game. Theres eyecandy obviously but for most updates I will not be getting carried away with photoshop and flora like I used to. Zots and zones may be visible and abandoned buildings stay in screenshots because not all places are great to live in Monterey. Basically how Ill go about this cj is Ill show you random areas or areas Im developing, and if anything looks interesting to anyone I can make an update on a specific area if anyone asks. Anyways; Welcome to Monterey Bay. Somewhere on the west coast of North America this bay was originally home to many farming, logging, and mining communities constructed by an influx of pioneers into the region mostly in the late 1800's. There was some oil, some gold, but the region remained relatively dry during the gold then oil rush days which explains its quiet valleys and low population. Other industries in the area include fishing, limestone, cattle ranching in the low open plains, limestone quarries, as well as a handful of lead and silver mines. While not the largest urban areas on the west coast Monterey County has made a name for itself as being a beautiful retreat destination in the 1900's. Its beaches aren't as pristine as those further south and its not as we as areas further north, but the snow-capped peaks that shine on the various towns in this community remain white for 10 months of the year. The Summers are mild, the spring and fall cool, and the pacific winds help keep the lowlands free from snowfall until you reach the highlands miles inland. First lets visit the seat of the county which shares the same name of Monterey Monterey started as a humble farming community but grew fast. Around the early 1900's everything slowed down as people didnt realize there was much gold in these hills, but it still was a destination many settlers and immigrants ended their long journeys at. The Warf-on-the-River was the central point of the city. Fishermen all around the bay would come right here to sell their catch daily for anyone who managed to earn some meager money by farming or ranching in the valley. At the same time a grand city hall was constructed. It was for a time that Monterey was being considered as the new state capitol, but many long debates and votes and ravings landed that to a more central area further south and inland. While its arguable less bureaucrats and politicians are good for a city, Monterey and the greater bay area didnt need all that to grow into a prospering region. The city grew fast. The industrial revolution passed. Mass transit moved more people around than ever, and more and more people moved to Monterey in the waning days of the oil booms. By the 1950's Monterey cemented itself as 'The' city of the bay area. Despite having lower population than the Tri-Cities, as the locals call them, on the peninsula to the southeast, Monterey developed with people in mind and had better planning and mass-transit than the Tri-Cities as you will be shown in later entries. The city grew and grew. The rich moved in And the poor moved in. They started building up. The Warf-on-the-River is still here Overall Monterey started and exists today as most other cities. It was never a boom town, was never an industrial centerfold, and never even had much interest militarily over WW2. It does have a small air force and military base being a metropolitan area on the west coast, but the Monterey Bay area remains for now just a fertile scenic valley, with nothing too special going on. Until next time!

Description: At the top of Guam's mountain peaks, visible from the highway below, are crosses. These are actually there as part of the stations of the cross, a Catholic tradition during the season of Lent. Catholicism being the predominant faith on the island, a Good Friday trek up the mountain trail, with some locals carrying a heavy cross themselves to simulate the leadup to Jesus' crucifixion, is popular each year. This lot is slope conforming to allow it to be placed on mountains and has no base texture so that it can blend in to those surroundings, but it could be placed anywhere the Sim faithful at the local House of Worship want it to be. Except underwater. And elevated in the air. But most other places.

Description: The islands of the Pacific are dotted with the wrecks of the major players in World War II. The rusted monuments to global conflict have now become spots where tourists and history buffs attempt to catch a glimpse at an ill fated vessel or vehicle. SCUBA divers in particular aim to dive the Western Pacific to see these sites first hand. There are four lots: - Sherman Tank (beached) - Sherman Tank (submerged) - Japanese Zero (submerged) - Obelisk of Peace (submerged) Inspired by similar sites on Saipan and Guam.

The most identifiable symbol of Chamorro heritage, the latte stone is a source of pride for those from the Mariana Islands. Parks like this are preserved or recreated in places like Guam - or in a fictional city with a cosmopolitan tradition and an established Chamorro neighborhood. The high landmark effect (75 over 15 tiles) reflects neighborhood pride. It also helps with air pollution a little and doesn't require much maintenance. The high bulldoze cost relative to its price tag is a result of costly legal battles with those lobbying for it to remain. Thanks to @Gn_leugim and @Flann for the tips and answering my newbie questions on my first BAT. Dependencies: BSC MEGA Props CP Vol01 (v1.0) MMP Mod for BSC MEGA PropPack - CP Vol2 (v1.0) -
Concord Isle - Red Bear Lands County - CJ01
Jedahdiah posted a City Journal entry in Red Bear Lands County
What is Red Bear Lands County? Red Bear County is not really based off any place in partiuclar. It's really just whatever I find acestically pleasing while mixing up New Englands glamourous forests, building and street layout styles and the Pacific North West's vibes. Established in 1844, it originally was home to the travellers traversing the vast lands, a tourist destination and a logging mecca. Tree's from this location were sent far and wide across the country well up until the 1904, when the area was declared an area of outstanding natural beauty, and de-forestation was forbidden. Even today, the forest is deemed prohibited to be used for logging, and only maintenance works can be carried out to prevent sweeping forest fires and to encourage new growth. As the series goes on, I indeed to build and identify the major cities and towns within the county, but nothing is solid until it appears here, as I'm one to change things quite often. This is nothing too serious, just an output for my creations and the lore I make for it, and I hope you'll all enjoy. Concord Isle - A quick history Concord Isle, discovered in 1846, wasn't colonised until the very late 1880s, often due to the inability to get transport out to the Isle, and the un-traversable mixture of mud and loose stones and low tide. Eventually a port of entry was established on the lower eastern part of the Isle, today known as Concord Terminals, but it became apparent quickly that very little could be done with Isle. The tree's on the Isle were deemed as perfect to be sold on for construction materials, yet upon attempting to chop down the trees, due to the instability of the soil, many tree's would not fall the way they were cut, or were found simply to be resting upon other tree's, and a many number of deaths were attributed to these accidents. By 1892, anyone attempting to use the tree's on the Isle for money gave up and had left, leaving piles of broken wood, uneven terrain and marshland. By the 1900s, the Isle had become a dumping site for rubbish, rocks and dirt, a kind of engorged trash pile. The addition of this led the Isle to become even more unstable, the waste and dirt mixing with the surrounding seawater to form a very slushy terrain. The Isle remained relatively uninhabitated between the 1900s and 1950s, bar being used as a mass gravesite during the Spanish Flu. During a particularly violent storm which battered the Isle in 1952, which the Isle was known to receive the full force of such winter storms, the terrain lost a lot of it's structure, allowing rubbish, garbage and human remains to be released into the sea, a lot washing up in nearby ports and beaches. It was decided by the county government that Concord Isle was to be cleaned up and restored it it's former beauty, with additional opportunites for it to be settled and also be used as a tourist attraction. At the time, massive construction projects were underway in many of the cities in the county, as it was decided that the excess and waste dirt, clay and rocks were to be transported in a monumental effort to the Isle to re-enforce and stablise the terrain for Isle. The protect was a huge success, with new tree's, plants and animal species introduced to the Isle, by the early 1960s life had begun to breathe back into existance on Concord Isle. Concord Isle - Modern Day The original landing point of the exploation of the Isle in the 1800s has since been updated to accomodate both vehicular and passenger access. A vehicle ferry port sits just south to the original landing point, the two passenger ferry terminals sitting roughly in the original spot the wooden boat mooring piers were. Vehicular traffic is heavily restricted to the Isle. Residents are allowed two vehicles per household on the Isle, whilst additional vehicles are heavily checked and counted in and out of the Isle at the two ferry ports. It's often found however, residents only have one car for travelling to the mainland, as the Isle has one of the best public transit networks in the county. Additionally, it's free for any permanent residents, of which a residence ID can be shown to access the transport for free. It's also seen that tourists and visitors to the Isle much prefer to travel to the Isle on foot due to the inexpensiveness of the public transport on the Isle. Other forms of transport The Marina houses a very low number of boats, most being privately owned sailboats that dock there for short periods of time. It is closed between the end of September and the beginning of April due to the winter storms, with boat owners on the Isle ordered to remove the vessels from the Marina during those times. Concord Isle has the highest number of fishing licenses registered to people per 10,000 compared to the rest of the county. 83% of households have fishing licenses, yet only 13% of residents have access to, own or can drive boats. This is mainly due to the ease of fishing in on the Isle. Many may gather to fish on Dead Beaver beach, tranverse the dense forests that surround much of the development on the Isle, or travel to the Marina or Terminals to fish there. Bikes are often the main form of transport outside of public transport, as the Isle is so small, the average cyclist can travel the furtherest distance (east to west) in an average of 15-20 minutes, of course taking longer to go East and West as the West side is uphill from the East side. In a recent local government vote, 78% voted against the introduction of segregated cycle lanes; the main reason being with such low car and truck volume on the roads, cyclists were not threatened by them. Concord Isle Utilities Concord Isle has no power generation on the Isle. Instead power is transferred through a series of 3 underground cables into small power houses located along the east side of the Isle. Power is then distrbuted up and down the Isle by cables under the roads. In 1994, Concord Isle lost all communication and power for 12 days due to a off-course vessel running aground in the strait between the Isle and the Mainland. The contracted company that laid the pipes and were supposed to bury them to at least the depth of the water pipes were subsquently sued and filed bankruptcy soon after. Concord Isle also has no water treatment or water purification centres on the Isle, the water being pumped in and out through deep pipes (buried a lot further down than the power cables) to and from the mainland. Water pumps located along the east side of the Isle pumps the water in and the waste water and sewage out at high pressure 24 hours a day. The original 1964 water tower built for the Isle was converted in 1997 into a storage tank for fresh and clean water, in case the pipes were to become damaged under the sea, and could supply the Isle with water for up to 4 days, pending fixing or evacuation. North Commercial Area North Commercial Area is actually located on the West side of the Isle, in the middle of the Isle. Pending a name change, and often shorted to NCA, it's a main commercial district for the Isle. Until recently, the only commercial area on the Isle until old brown sites were re-developed to host varies restaurants and shops down by the ferry terminals. It was called NCA because when the area was first being developed, a faulty compass led the developed to actually be flipped 90 degrees, with the builders assuming West was North. The NCA houses the HQ's of Concord Isle's police department and Concord Isle's Fire Department, with many of the original family run businesses surrounding them. It is also home to the only library on the Isle, along with the main medical clinical that can accept a minor amount of emergency cases. Dead Beavers Beach On the North-East coastline lies Dead Beavers Beach, one of the only access points to the sea naturally, as the rest of the Isle is surrounded by steep cliffs and strewn rocks. Dead Beavers Beach is hot spot for fishing and beach activites for local families. Closed during the winter, large amounts of driftwood from Northern Isle and trees that have fallen into the sea from Concord Isle tend to wash up here. The name comes from a ship that once washed up upon the shore, crew missing, during the 1950s whilst the Isle was undergoing it's new terrain improvement. Beavers that were in transit from the Northern States on their way for reclocation to a newer and more protected forests were found on the ship and around the ship upon discovery of the wreck. No Beaver's or animals died during this inicident. Oakville Point Oakville Point is the newest development on the Isle. Built as recently as 2003, it allowed the building of an additional 60 houses onto the Isle, cutting into the Oakville forest that laid at the North of the island. The new development features one predominant street, stretching 30 houses to the north. Oakville Ave is surrounded by the original forest and steep cliffs on the edges of the Isle. A lot of the new residences enjoy living here as it gives the the feeling of isolation and quiet while only being a 10 minute walk from the shops. Summing up So that's Concord Isle. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will endeavour to continue this with the level or detail and the lore that comes with it. See you all soon -
BAT / Mods for a West Coast/East Asian "Pacificana" Architecture Style?
The Wrench posted a topic in SC4 - Custom Content
So, I decided, after trying futilely trying to build something that I could be satisfied with in Cities: Skylines, I want to go back to SC4. Currently wanted a fusion of American/"Western" and Japanese/"Asian" architecture styles; I'm a sucker for towers like the WTC and the Comcast Innovation Center, but I also like the narrow, densely-packed Japanese streets between the main avenues. I basically know how to obtain the former, but where could I get the latter? Also, are there any inspirations that I can draw inspirations from? Maybe Hong Kong? -

Replies are at the bottom... Prologue The Kellan Metropolitan Area, sitting on the Eastern Coast of Vancouver Island at the south end of the Discovery Passage, has went from being a small fishing village, and the former site of multiple winter resorts, to one of the most prosperous cities on the entire North American continent even though it is nowhere near being one of the biggest. While the region's population boom that commenced in the early 1980s did come to two abrupt declines, one due to the Great Recession and another due to the 2013 floods, the region's population has since started skyrocketing again- gaining over 376,000 people since 2015. As with all other population booms, Kellan's has introduced a great shift in demographics causing a valley once dominated by agriculture and dubbed the "Salmon Capital of the World" to now be referred to as the "Silicon Forest". Obviously, the boom can't last forever and it is in fact expected to peak in the 2020's before finally coming to a halt, but that still feels like forever for the residents who already live here and have to deal with the aftermath... Blank shot of the region Blank shot of the region's transportation network Image of the region showing all city limits and their respective subdivisions. All the freeways and highways of the region, now updated with the latest progress shot of the region An updated version of the regional light rail map, now much more detailed. Density heatmap of the region, highlighting the unusually high densities of the Business Triangle* (and to a lesser extent, Sapien) that, while considered normal in some places of the world, are very parallel to the sprawly neighborhoods full of single-family homes and/or low-rise apartments that most people on the North American West Coast are used to. *The Business Triangle, which is highlighted by the highest density area (Purple color) in the North Valley, consists of Radiation and the Downtown, Lakefront District, and Gresham areas of Kellan. While West Chandler is officially considered a part of the Business Triangle (despite the fact its inclusion makes the Business Triangle no longer appear as a triangle), West Chandler is a bedroom community which makes most people exclude it from the definition of the Business Triangle. Things to note about West Chandler West Chandler's extremely low median age, rent, and home prices (and even income as shown in the chart at the bottom) can be explained by the fact that the city's municipal government has enacted a series of laws and programs in the mid and late 2000s that have turned the city into what many now refer to as a "Youth Paradise". The city's rent control is incredibly aggressive, with even the seemingly luxury residential towers in the western part of the city still being made up of mostly affordable housing units populated by young (and presumably, poor) residents. More will be explained more in a future update dedicated to West Chandler as the story of how West Chandler became what it is today is quite interesting. Population chart highlighting the fast growth of the region with the metropolitan area gaining over 1,170,000 new residents between 2010 and 2017, that's an average of over 167,00 people per year! The City of Kellan itself has gained 186,907 people since 2010, it may seem like a lot but is much lower than the 570,000 people who moved into the city between 2000 and 2010, which is due to the fact that the region's population boom was offset by the Great Recession and the Great Flood of 2013. While Kellan's economy bounced back quickly after the first event, the second started a chain reaction of factors that led new residents to seek growth in Kellan's suburbs despite the fact that, at the time, rents and housing prices in Kellan were exceptionally cheaper as supply far exceeded demand until only recently. Same chart as above, only the City of Kellan is excluded to better visualize the growth of other cities in the region that was not well shown in the previous image due to Kellan's disproportionate population size. This is an income chart showing the Median Household Income, Median Family Income, and Median Salary that I included simply because I couldn't fit it into the individual city images above. Replies Seppi93 | Yes I did, and thank you. Took a while to make but the ending result was pretty great vaughanwiliams | Thanks, and not very. Sometimes when I have maps with a lot of trees it might go a little slow (which is why, as you can see above, there are some unfinished city tiles that have zero trees) but other than that the only time I truly notice is the long load and save times. Thanks to SC4 Launcher, however, I still don't really have to worry about mods that much. kschmidt | Thank you, it's a shame not that many people know the University of Clayhurst exists, it is light years better than the in-game university. And the little car traffic is simply because the in-game mechanics prevents people from traveling between more than one city tile. In real life, the streets would likely be filled with cars trying to either get to the freeway from other tiles or trying to get to the Business Triangle. T Wrecks | Yes, I've been aware of the Maxis repetition in lower density commercial and it often ruins a lot of my photos. While I do care about it I've hesitated from downloading additions and alternatives due to the fact it doesn't seem to solve my repetition problem as they seem to always overtake Maxis buildings. It's the same reason I always set R$ and R$$$ tax rates to 20% so only R$$ can grow, middle-class residential lots not only obey zoning sizes but also aren't repetitive, both unlike R$ and R$$$. It's probably just a problem with my game (or a mod problem) but that is why I still use Maxis commercial despite hating it so much. kingofsimcity | Yes haha. It's a pretty notable feature of big American and Canadian cities to have certain major arterial roads with high-rises, and sometimes skyscrapers, in low-density neighborhoods. compdude787 | To be honest, that interchange was originally built the wrong way which is why I was so careful to not show it in any pictures. When it's fixed I'll show it in a future update citybuilder234 | Photoshop. Lots and lots of photoshop. waybig | It is a model of the real-life YouTube Headquarters in San Bruno, CA by the great mattb325, which can be found here.

The Mariana Islands (also the Marianas) are a crescent-shaped archipelago comprising the summits of fifteen mostly dormant volcanic mountains in the western North Pacific Ocean, between the 12th and 21st parallels north and along the 145th meridian east. They lie south-southeast of Japan, west-southwest of Hawaii, north of New Guinea and east of the Philippines, demarcating the Philippine Sea's eastern limit. They are found in the northern part of the western Oceanicsub-region of Micronesia, and are politically divided into two jurisdictions of the United States: the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and, at the southern end of the chain, the territory of Guam. This map is probably around half scale. Enjoy, My lads -

The Sparkle Kingdom is back! New and improved, with more realistic and lifelike terrain than ever. There are now 17 islands in total in this 36 city tile area, 10 major islands and 7 minor islands.... so there is a lot of islands to make as many beach resorts you want, but be wary! There are five volcanoes on the island chain, three of which are very active, and two which are dormant, so choose your building spots carefully. One wrong move, and your entire city could be burning in lava and buried in ash... Hope you have fun with this, and one more thing regarding the city journal. Updates will resume weekly schedule on Saturday, November 12, 2016. -
From the album Night Scenes (S3-12-E)
The skyline of Prowersville may look nice during the day, but at night, it is absolutely stunning. In Sparkle's city that never sleeps, the corporate executives and working class alike take the night shifts in relative safety, given the crime rate is so low, and the organized crime syndicate, the SouthWest Anarchy Group (S.W.A.G) was defeated just a few years prior. In the morning, expect a lot of people at the McDonald's on the first floor of the Prowersville HQ, eating hash browns and hotcakes.© 2016 TheLynx99. All Rights Reserved.

This region contains one island, about 416 square kilometers. It was created for my city journal which i'll post a thread about later. It is my first map so constructive criticism is welcome as i'm terrible at terraforming. (Especially mountains) It is also perfect for building a major metropolitan area, building an agricultural nation, or just simply making the equivalent of Hong Kong and maxing out population. (You would have to get rid of the mountains and rivers first) This map has no dependencies, it looks like it is your lucky day. -
"There's only three great American cities; New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco, the rest is Cleveland." Welcome than to Cleveland, also called Bristol. Bristol, established in 1797, and incorporated in 1821, founded by a man named Louis Richards as a city in the thin landmass between Washington Bay, and the Pacific Ocean that had a ideal trading river, which he named the Bristol River. By the mid to late 1800s it began to grow into the major city we know today. Today it's a bustling economic center of the pacific coast. Rivaling cities like Los Angeles and Seattle. Though at the cost of large crime rates, and poverty growing in the southern districts. But, Bristol is not is not truly what it seems, infact just in downtown, a past of so violent, that formed its history and how it's seen to the United States, and the world. From the organized crime bosses, corruptions, and scandals, Bristol is formed, but within it all, sits culture, arts, shopping, and the beauty of the city. The beauty of the city, hides within plain site. During the 1960s-1980s period, the city had a boom of high rises, and economic development, but it eventually ended and left us buildings such as the World Trade Center building of Bristol, as seen. Eventually, the city by the late 1990s-early 2010s did the city finally return with a 'mini' boom with buildings like the CenturyLink building being built in the corner of the heart of the CBD. Roadworks of this era, to help reduce traffic turned streets like these, into dead ends, to reduce traffic but it only made it worse. The city is in the process of fixing it, but city council delays is preventing it. Buildings like the Mid-Century Tower, which was built as the city's tallest skyscraper was built during this period, overshadowing the background Westerman Bank Tower. Historical skyscrapers such as the Bristol Utility Company Tower, was overshadowed by newer skyscrapers of the 'mini' boom of construction. Buildings like the Regal Theatre, or the Hotel Huber, refuse to become hidden and remain somewhat, seen within the grand skyline. Though many buildings were torn down, like near the Eastern Company Building, when it came from having neighbors to surrounded by parking lots, saved by historic preservationist. Even then, more historic structures like the Bristol Tribune Tower, were hidden by skyscrapers like the World Trade Center. Though, the boom hasn't covered the past or experience of the city, but made it more noticeable and stand out from the box and glass towers. The infamous Victoria hotel built in the 1950s, which in the 1960s, became part of the Easter Day Massacre when two major organized crime families had a shootout outside, and inside the hotel, killing around fifty-five people, ten being police officers. Today, the Victoria is historical for the Easter Day Massacure, and it's 5 star quality rooms. The historic Macy's store in the western half of the CBD, remains a prominent shopping experience in the city. The historic St. A. Hospital is famous for being born to Bristol Rock Singer, Alex Kalvan who became one of the most prominent 80s rock singers in the United States. Historic storefronts align the city, hardships, but show the proud history of the city of Bristol. Bristol, has more uncovered secrets in downtown, but you can't simply give away everything in the city's welcoming, got to keep the negative ideals, for next time. Till then, Bristol awaits for you, as the sun goes down, Bristol arises.

My username is Adjanti and I am on the North America West 1 server - feel free to contact me there, PM me, and/or reply to this post. Looking forward to happy fun times! -
Hell in the Pacific
Bastet69008 posted a City Journal entry in Commonwealth of the Caroline Islands (SC4)
HELL IN THE PACIFIC On December 7th 1941, the tranquil paradise of Hawai'i was shattered. A surprise Japanese attack on the island of O'ahu and the fleet at Pear Harbor was caused for one of the most devastating defeat in US military history. ''A date which will live in infamy- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan'' [...] Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States later announced that day. Simultaneously, the Imperial Japanese Navy would attack Hong Kong, the Philippines, the Islands of Guam and Wake and would attack Midway a few hours later. World War II just extended to the Pacific theater. (note: this part is fictional,most names are real though) After a series of victories that were the result of a surprise offensive undertaken by the Japanese forces in the Pacific, the Caroline Islands, an American Protectorate, would fall to the hands of the armies of the Rising Sun. During almost 2 years, the Japanese would impose chaos and fear in that once-thriving Pacific nation composed of hundreds of small islands and atolls. November 20, 1943: Operation Typhoon was launched. US battleships, destroyers and aircraft carriers launched a major assault on the atolls of Rabaul and Tarawa in the Caroline Islands to take control of this strategic point in the South Pacific. The objective was to destroy the Japanese coastal defenses in Tarawa and seize control of Peleliu airfield in Rabaul.

Anyone playing together in Eastern Asia/Australian time zone?
Cattail113 posted a topic in SimCity (2013) Region Games
Greetings! I'm Cattail, currently studying abroad, and I play Simcity 2013 from Japan. Anyone else out there who plays during/ around my UTC+9.00 time zone? For example: Australia, Korea, Phillipines, SEA, Taiwan? I'm pretty bummed out by playing alone these days. :/ So I'd be happy if I get to join an active region where people play together, build great works and not just dwell in their little plot of lands and totally ignore the chat. Building and managing a great works alone is pretty meaningless by the way. :/ I play almost daily from around 8pm to about 12am UTC +9.00. So if anyone is interested in inviting me to their party, or would like to play on a region together, let me know. Look me up on Origin: Cattail113. PS: all my other friends are on Steam, and they don't play simcity. Sad.
