@TheMurderousCricket Thank you! I've since found better ways to detail the sides of the streams with more appropriate flora for the climate! It has been some time since the last update; the computer I play SimCity 4 is effectively a desktop from now on after its battery went bust so I am leaving it in my weekend home. Obviously I can't play SimCity 4 on the weekdays as a result! Also, shoutout to the guys from the SC4 Show Us.... thread for giving constructive suggestions on improving MMP realism, especially alongside rivers and streams! All of this is MMP so it has been a lot of work indeed to achieve this end result. Back to the city journal.... ================================================================================================================================================================= The village of Gunung Gundul is the city tile just west of Citanggung, continuing the downstream path of the Citanggung river. By the way, "Ci" means river in the local language, so basically....ATM Machine! (chuckles) Gunung Gundul is named after the nearby mountain of Gunung Gundul, appropriately named as due to strong winds at its peak, it doesn't have trees. "Gundul" means "bald" in the local language. Like Citanggung, the village is mostly scattered settlements along the main road, with farms along the entire valley. Here, the river takes a bend, with the river valley only occupying just one corner of the entire 4x4km tile. Lets' start the tour.... Entering into Gunung Gundul, the first signs of settlement is this collection of small roadside businesses and the town school. A bridge connects the other side of the river, where people have settled along the steep and extremely narrow valley. Across the bridge and down to the foothills lie a thin, yet dense settlement and more farms. Most villagers here are low income farm laborers who work seasonally during harvest season and migrate to the main town of Rancabodas for whatever manual labor work is available, outside of harvest season. This is theoretically the center of Rancabodas, where the valley widens on one side, so most farms are here. The local clinic is here, so is the village hall (it is actually a Police Station lot but okay!). A local facility recycles lead acid batteries.....the people here aren't educated enough to care about the dangers of lead pollution on crops! Mo Moving north, the valley starts to close, here lies the village's only fuel station and the village's other school. Both are elementary schools. High school and middle school students must commute to neighboring Watukapur to continue their education. Here the Citanggung river is joined by an unnamed tributary stream from a nearby spring at Gunung Gundul. The valley from that point on is too steep and unstable for built development to continue. ==================================================================================================================================================================- 1 Comment

14. Some farmlands
zahrul3 posted a City Journal entry in The SimNesia Journals (Regency of Medang & Kamulan + Regency of Rancabodas!)
@Jidan Hello fellow Indonesian! Karasem by 976 is the only other CJ that I know of, which has a distinctly Indonesian theme, and I do use much of the same lots made by 976 and uploaded to Kaskus! But many of the dependencies needed are lost so I hope this CJ is not the last! =============================================================================== This update will focus on farmlands in a valley just west of Kamulan....in Kedawung Village! Not much context here so just enjoy the relaxing pictures of SimRural 4 By the way, all of this was taken 10 years ago. I have the BATs and lots, but not all and I have no idea which missing dependencies I have, so despite having this entire region, every time it opens I get a whole load of brown boxes! Some family compound surrounded by farmland School in the middle of farmland. Kids drive motorcycles to school from an early age for a very good reason! Thats it for all!

13. The City of Kamulan (10 year update)
zahrul3 posted a City Journal entry in The SimNesia Journals (Regency of Medang & Kamulan + Regency of Rancabodas!)
@All This has been 10 years since the last update so no replies from me, sorry Today's update will cover Kamulan, 10km away from Kebonagung and 14km away from Medang. Been quite a long time since I haven't updated, didn't it? 10 years! Last update was in 2014! Who could've guessed! Sadly no more (new) updates are possible - while I have the hard drive containing the town, I haven't transferred all plugins (dependencies especially!) meaning brown boxes here and there. This is just something I found on my Imgur, 10 years sitting around right there sitting dust. This update covers the district of Kamulan, a high tech industrial hub in the regency of Medang and Kamulan. Like many Indonesian towns, development in Kamulan is centered around the towns' "Alun-Alun" or Great Central Park and all the businesses sprouted around that center! Somewhere in Kebonagung, the highway transitions into a protected two lane avenue. A freight rail hub creates an attractive investment destination for industries, here we can see high tech industries dominating! Major industries include a couple of contract cosmetics manufacturer, a processed food manufacturer, a semiconductor packaging plant, and warehouse complexes belonging to local e-commerce startups! Continued! The residents here notably have more income due to their employment in high tech industries, of course aided by generously sized lot sizes and none of the smog that tends to settle at the bottom of narrow enclosed valleys! Road heading east from Kamulan towards a neighboring (and predominantly rural) subdistrict of Wadasan, a cookie cutter housing development and a grey tower block has been built in quick time to satisfy housing needs for workers moving in! The pace of industrial development is clearly visible and notice the modern planning of the area compared to Medang! Kamulan was established earlier as the seat of the regency, but population initially grew faster in Medang and South Medang due to the fisheries sector and the port and the regents' seat moved there at some point in time. None of this is visible though, as all remnant of history has been demolished (except for the former regents' house, now a lowly district office for the area!) Less fortunate sims are pushed out into the hills. The city hasn't quite kept up with growth so these Sims do not have water service, but for the cheap cost of land they can build decently large homes relative to their salary. Universitas Muhammadiyah Medang Kamulan, the creme de la creme driving high tech talent. Students come here and (usually) do not find a reason to move back home! =================================================== That's all for now, If you like this, 5*, +1 or just put in a comment below!- 1 Comment
