This building along with a few of the adjoining buildings once housed a few different food and beverage distributors in Portland, Oregon for many years. The building is now known as North Coast Seed Studios, the outside of which has looked the same for decades, probably because the majority of paint used is now on the art they create inside. I kept this one as an industrial lot since it had a great vintage industrial look to it. Also had to improvise the 'back' side of the building since Portland loves to have industrial buildings in big clusters and this one is up against another building. Thanks to @sejr99999 for testing these one out.- 3 Reviews

Wholesale Seed is a former distribution company in Portland, Oregon, located in the industrial section of the Irvington neighbourhood just off the Willamette River. It has since been rezoned as many buildings like this have been and is now an art studio. It appears it has not been re-done at all for many years, maybe even since it was first built as seen by the faded signage and very old wood siding. 1x2 C$$ wall to wall design and zero dependencies. The 'front' of the building was used as a railspur back in the day so use your imagination when placing it.- 2 Reviews

A neat little L shaped corner apartment in the Irvington neighbourhood of Portland built in 1929 that as far as I can tell is just called the Schuyler Street Apartment. R-$$ tailored for a corner, the front lawn/walkway was raised and is basically part of the building so I incorporated it into the lot itself to avoid issues with prop placement inside the LOD, along with the foliage/trees etc.- 4 Comments

This small warehouse is located in Portland, Oregon near the Slabtown district, an interesting neighborhood that seems to be a neat mix of light industrial and also high wealth residential. No idea what this building even is or any other information about it, just a neat inconspicuous little warehouse that caught my eye in street view. Only thing I can guess is from the look of it, it's an early 20th century design with some refits. Just a boring little 1x2 lot tailored for wall to wall, and also to be against a back wall as well like many industrial blocks in Portland are. I made it CS$ since whenever I try to assign a lot to be industrial it never appears naturally in game. I changed it from green to a natural brick color since the green did not mesh well with the roof textures and I wanted to give it the legacy look of the time frame which it was most likely constructed in. -

An old brick industrial building that has been converted to a public storage facility in Portland, Oregon. A medium sized building designed to be wall to wall on a corner, it's not quite on a corner but next to train tracks in actuality. Doesn't have as many jobs as most buildings of this size considering it's just a public storage facility but as such it barely consumes much power or water to balance it off. The building was originally Portland Seed Company, formed in 1892, making this the oldest and largest building I've made so far. -

Suomi Hall is the meeting place of the Finnish Brotherhood of Astoria, Oregon. Long engaged in the local fishing and canning industries, the Finnish population of Astoria is widely regarded as one of the most influential and proud nationalities in the city, at one point boasting the largest number of Finns west of the Mississippi River. The Uniontown neighborhood is historically the center of Finnish cultural life in Astoria, and where radical socialist newspapers were published in the early part of the 20th century. The hall itself was built in 1886 by the Finnish Temperance League as a social hall for Finns. In 1910, the entire building was moved to the waterfront of Uniontown, where it currently resides. In 1947, the building underwent renovations, the roof parapet being added at that time, as well as the iconic neon sign. The building has underwent a wild series of facade and structural changes, growing to over twice the size of its original footprint. What you can see from the outside is almost completely its post-1947 design, with the exception of the gabled section of the roof, dating back to its original 1886 layout! This lot is a 3x2 eyecandy landmark, and I think it fits due to its historical value, however feel free to turn this into a commercial lot if you want. DEPENDENCIES: BSC Texture Pack Cycledogg I had a lot of fun making this, so enjoy! -
Welcome Back to my City Journal, "Touring the World"! All Cities shown are inspired by reality, but may have subtle differences with their real-life counterparts. These differences may be due to game constraints... or... just because. For this entry, we'll be returning to the US West Coast! Starting from the north, we return to the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area! Downtown Portland is known for its 200 ft by 200 ft blocks - originally designed to maximize corner units and thus developer profit - today, an unintended side effect has been that the blocks are short, walk-able and pedestrian friendly. This photo shows the area around Broadway and Main Street, including two very interesting buildings, 1000 Broadway (the building with the white dome) and the Portland Building (top right corner), which houses the City of Portland's various bureaucracies guarded by the statue "Portlandia" who stares down at every citizen of Portland who dares enter the building to file a Planning Department permit for their backyard fence remodel or whatever else they need local government for. Another shot of downtown Portland, this one along Burnside Avenue. Included in this photo is the City's (and the State of Oregon's) second tallest building, the US Bancorp Tower, also known locally as "Big Pink". It stands at 43 stories tall. On the 30th floor is one of those fancy restaurants with great views but overpriced food and drinks. Also in the photo is the MAX Light Rail, which serves not only the city of Portland but also surrounding suburbs and the Portland Airport. At the bottom left is the Chinatown Gate, located on 4th Avenue, it provides a cultural icon and entryway into Portland's Old Town/Chinatown neighborhood. In August and September of 2020, vast forest fires raged throughout the western United States. The Portland area wasn't spared. Due to the fires, air quality in the Portland area plummeted to over 450+ AQI (air quality index). At that time, the air quality in Portland was the worst recorded globally. The photo below shows the St. John's Bridge, a suspension bridge located approximately 5 miles north of downtown Portland and crossing the Willamette River shrouded in a thick orange haze. This photo was taken September 15, 2020. Just 10 to 15 miles west of Downtown Portland is Washington County a mix of suburban housing tracts and rural farmland. One of the striking things about the Portland area is how fast you can go from an urban center with skyscrapers to vast open farmland. Much of this farmland is protected by Oregon's strict land use regulations and the Portland area's "Urban Growth Boundary". The photo below shows the rural and privately-owned Twin Oaks Airport in Hillsboro, Oregon, approximately 12 miles south-west of downtown Portland. Eugene, Oregon is located 105 miles south of Portland along Interstate 5. It is the second largest city in Oregon with a population of about 150,000. It is also home to the University of Oregon and the 2020 Pac-12 (football) Champion Ducks. The Ducks play their home games at Autzen Stadium, pictured below, which is located just north of the University of Oregon's main campus area. Travelling further south on Interstate 5, you will find yourself in California and its capitol city, Sacramento. While we won't visit Sacramento itself during this entry (we will in a future entry), lets swing by really quickly to Roseville, California, which is a suburban bedroom community located directly east of Sacramento in Placer County. Roseville's development is typical of inland California, featuring endless tract homes and neighborhoods, churches, parks/open spaces and big box retail. Many people moved into this area in recent decades to escape higher housing prices in cities along coastal California. There is no lack of land in the Roseville area and this housing is much more affordable when compared to the Bay Area or Los Angeles area. A typical home in the neighborhood below sized between 2000 and 4000 square feet could range from $300,000 to $600,000, a steal considering a similar home would easily be over $2,000,000 in the Bay Area. To the west, Oakland, California. Oakland is one of three major cities surrounding San Francisco Bay. It's population is approximately 480,000. It is also home to the second largest container and shipping port in the western United States. Each day thousands of containers are loaded and unloaded. Many consumer products manufactured in Asia and elsewhere and destined for customers in the United States pass through here. From the Port of Oakland, these products are either loaded onto semi-trucks for delivery within the Bay Area region or within California, or, loaded onto freight trains where they head east. In recent decades, downtown Oakland has seen a bit of a revival. Due to the lack of build-able land in the Bay Area, housing prices are exorbitant and always in short supply. Oakland has always been seen as a more affordable alternative when compared to San Francisco while still providing some of the same urban amenities and lifestyle. Taking advantage of this, developers have built "luxury" condos and apartments throughout Downtown Oakland in recent years. Of course, a 800 square foot one bedroom unit on a lower floor will still set you back $850,000+ if purchasing, or at least $3,500 a month in rent. Oakland is home to Major League Baseball's Oakland Athletics (A's). The A's play at Oakland Coliseum, an outdated facility surrounded by a huge parking lot. There are ongoing discussions about building a new ballpark for the A's at a waterfront location closer to downtown Oakland. The Coliseum was formerly home to the NFL's Oakland Raiders before they relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada. The Coliseum is also located next to the arena formerly known as Oracle Arena. Oracle Arena was home to the NBA's Golden State Warriors prior to their move to new facilities in San Francisco. The Warriors won several NBA championships in this building. Both the Coliseum and the Arena area are served by the Coliseum BART station (BART = Bay Area Rapid Transit) and pictured top right. From here, commuters can catch BART trains to San Francisco, San Jose, the Oakland Airport, Berkeley or other suburban destinations throughout the Bay Area. The freeway pictured at the bottom is Interstate 880 which connects Oakland and San Jose to the south. Rush hour traffic on this freeway is an absolute nightmare due to the amount of commuters and truck traffic coming to/from the Port of Oakland. West of Oakland and across the Bay Bridge is San Francisco, California. One of America's most recognized cities, San Francisco is home to Golden Gate Park, pictured below. Contrary to the name, the park is not located directly adjacent to the Golden Gate Bridge, but rather, a few miles south. Similar to Central Park in New York, it provides respite from the urban hustle and bustle. It is also home to the De Young Museum, the California Academy of Sciences (which features an aquarium, a bio-dome and one of the largest green roofs in the country), and the Golden Gate Park Japanese Gardens which are pictured below. Next, we return to Los Angeles. In the hills above downtown LA and adjacent to Elysian Park is Dodger Stadium, home to the 2020 MLB Champion LA Dodgers! Although the ballpark is similar in age to the Oakland Coliseum previously seen, Dodger Stadium retains much of its "retro-charm" and has preserved outfield views of the surrounding hillsides. Finally, we visit Downtown Los Angeles, home to the tallest building on the US West Coast (by spire), Wilshire Grand, on a rare rainy day in LA. Thanks for visiting!

Based off a stained glass window business called Cline Glass that inhabited the building a few years back, a little corner building in Portland's urban industrial area. Just another boring little filler building that stands out just enough for me to bring it into the game. Wanted to make this one an industrial lot but it just did not seem to want to build when I lotted for it. It's a corner building but designed to be wall to wall on either side if needed. I will definitely try to revise the windows at some point to make the stained glass displays they had stand out at night. -

The Johnson Building, constructed in 1883, was a commercial building in Portland, OR. Located at the northeast corner of Front and Ankeny streets, the Johnson Building featured a cast iron facade and brick on timber construction. On left of Minor White's 1939 photo below: This building met the wrecking ball along with the rest of the block when the Harbor Freeway was constructed. Caveats: I've added bays to the width to span 16m. Real facade closer to 12m. Optional dependency: SCILT for your choice of sidewalk Install: Unzip to Plugins. Remove: Remove Plugins/CT14/W2W Johnson Building Models: 5 variations 2 story, 5 variations 3 story. Real building was 3 stories with a gray face. Lots: All lots are Growable 1x2 in all tilesets. Setback of 2 tiles matches Smalltown USA and other common lots. All lots use prop families for the building model, to help avoid the game's tendency to place more than one of the same building together.

Welcome to my new City Journal! All Cities shown are inspired by reality, but may have subtle differences with their real-life counterparts. These differences may be due to game constraints... or... just because. We'll start off on the US West Coast. Seattle, Washington is the largest city in the US state of Washington. There are over 3 million people living in the Greater Seattle Metropolitan Area, which is known for its naturally beautiful surroundings, rain, coffee and Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks and Costco, all of which are headquartered here. Another major company, Boeing, was founded in Seattle and still has significant operations in the area, though its corporate headquarters was moved to Chicago. Below, is a picture of downtown Seattle during the afternoon commute. Interstate 5 runs through the downtown area and is often congested. There are, however, Express Lanes that run parallel to the general purpose travel lanes. This is, in my opinion, one of the coolest stretches of interstate freeway in the United States as there are multiple tunnels and ramps as well as the close proximity to the Seattle skyline. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport also known as "SeaTac Airport" is the primary commercial passenger airport serving the Seattle metropolitan area and is one of the busiest airports in the world. It serves many US-domestic routes, as well as international routes and non-stop flights to cities in Asia and Europe. It is a hub for Alaska Airlines and Delta Airlines and is currently undergoing renovation and expansion. Below is the new skybridge that links the South Satellite terminal (used primarily for international flights) with the Main Terminal, allowing passengers to "walk over" the planes. Portland, Oregon is the largest city in the US state of Oregon. There are approximately 2 million people living in the Portland-Vancouver-Salem Metropolitan Area. Portland is known for rain, coffee, donuts, beer, food carts, biking and outdoor lifestyle. Many Portlanders pride themselves in "Keeping Portland Weird", though the city and region has been one of the fastest growing in the nation in recent years. It is the setting for the comedy television show Portlandia. Downtown Portland, shown below, is known for its small, walk-able blocks each measuring 200 by 200 feet (or 4x4 in SC4) as well as its "park blocks" (entire city blocks dedicated to green space). The tallest building in Oregon, the Wells Fargo Center, pictured below, is 546 feet, 41 stories tall. It has been the tallest building in the state since 1972 and no building is expected to be taller in the foreseeable future, as the City has a strict height limit in the downtown area to protect views of the nearby West Hills and of Mount Hood. The Lloyd District in Portland is home to the Lloyd Center Mall, once billed as America's "largest outdoor mall". It was covered, expanded and renovated into an indoor mall in the early 1990's. In recent years, the mall has become somewhat dilapidated and there are rumors that the site may be used for a Major League Baseball Stadium as part of an effort by Portland to lure a professional baseball team. The Lloyd District is also home to the Oregon Convention Center (pictured below) as well as the Moda Center, home of the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers basketball team. Fremont, California is a suburban city in Alameda County, California. It is located in the San Francisco Bay Area along the Bay's eastern shore (also known as the "East Bay"), approximately 30 miles south of Oakland and 15 miles north of San Jose. Fremont has an estimated population of 238,000 residents. It consists of primarily suburban residential and commercial strip malls and industrial areas. It is also home to the Tesla factory, where the famous electric car maker currently manufactures its Model S, Model X and Model 3 vehicles. The Tesla Factory is located along Interstate 880 and Mission Blvd. and is also located next to the Union Pacific Railroad line and the new BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) Silicon Valley Extension. Los Angeles, California perhaps needs no introduction. It is the second largest city in the United States with an estimated population of almost 4 million people within the city limits alone. It is the economic center of the Greater Los Angeles area which has an even greater estimated population of almost 14 million people. Los Angeles County and nearby Orange County are the largest counties by population in the United States and LA ranks 3rd/4th largest GDP (by city) in the world. It's known best for Hollywood, movies, television and celebrities, but it is also incredibly diverse both demographically and socio-economically. Downtown LA, pictured below, is home to many corporate offices and hotels. Historically, it tended to clear out after every one got off work... but in more recent years, there has been a real push to develop more residential and housing in the downtown area.

Hey everyone, Its been a few years since I've had the opportunity to update my City Journal. But I'm glad to be back and publishing content again. Unfortunately, this time around, I don't have as much time as before (work, life, family... you know, stuff...)... so I won't be able to write up all the detailed "tours" that I did in the past... but I am hoping to get lots of screenshots out of the various regions that I have been working on "offline" (including the San Francisco Bay Area where we left off in 2014... as well as other North American cities, and even a few Asian and European cities as well). Anyways, here's an updated shot of Downtown Portland... grab a coffee or microbrew, stay dry and try not to look like a Californian...

Portland, Oregon a map by: blunder ------------- Installation: This map is in .png format and requires either Terraformer or Mapper to import. 1. Navigate to your Documents/SimCity 4/Regions folder and create a new folder with your desired region name 2. Copy+paste the config.bmp file into the folder you just created. 3. Open SC4TF, open the new region, import the .png file, save and quit. 4. You must open and save each tile for it to display your terrain mod instead of the terraformer/mapper elevation color overlay. ------------- Description: Portland is the largest city in Oregon state, USA. It lies in the Pacific northwest along the willamette and columbia rivers and is surrounded by mountains and forests. This huge map stretches from West Crater in the east to Scappoose in the west, and from Lake Merwin in the north to Canby in the south. This map is 72km x 80km and made from satellite data. It is mostly terrain and scale accurate. I didn't include all of the wetland ponds or sloughs in the Columbia basin. Which turned out to be a good thing because I made an error with the watermask, and 'fixing' it led to all waterways being 4 tiles too wide. I can live with that because i don't have the several hours it would take to redo the waterlayers. Map made using satellite data, image editing software, and drunkapple's invaluable advice. (I HIGHLY recommend using Gobias' Sudden Valley terrain mod, Vancouver BC beach mod, and Inside Passage water mod, which is what i used to render this map) For questions, comments, and requests please see my Map Thread over at simpeg.com Happy Gaming! -
