Welcome back to Ashford! And now we can even land in by plane. Ashford Regional Airport isn't very big, but it should bring more tourists as well as boost the economy. Good thing for the new mayor, who is none other than the old mayor, as the citizen's initiative we discussed last entry eventually lost despite the polls calling the city for them. And so the first thing the old-new mayor did was call a conference on transportation, the Fredas after inauguration. Much to the environmentalists' dismay, the first thing on the menu is the construction of a new airport terminal, which had not been part of the initial plan. On Pelletine Avenue, music halls are enjoying their last few nights before the required sales tax increase. However, it's unlikely the city nightlife scene will be overly hit. And as every weekend night, there's a lot to do in town - for instance, new shows, premiering in Ashford! And what shows! Tonight the popular book-turned-movie-turned-musical Le Frenchiest Fry - A Story of Life, Love and Garlic Bread is due to start at 9pm at the University Theatre. Media, critics, cinema snobs - everyone's queued for hours to get to their booked seats first, and kleenex sales have skyrocketed throughout the city. Or is that due to the other show premiering tonight just opposite the road - The Lusty Argonian Maid : The Opera? There's plenty of other things to do on a Loredas night, though. And those things usually don't involve sleeping. But where could everyone be? It's not just Loredas, it's also the hottest night of Sun's Height - it's more likely they're partying the night away in one of Midtown's finest or not so finest nightclubs. They could also be at the Canyon Casino, which tonight is hosting a charity gala. No matter the time - these are great opportunities for socializing and making friends in high places. Normally, they'd also be either at the Blitzball or Football stadiums. The Football stadium, pictured here, is on the edge of the CBD, just beyond the Moore Avenue bridge. But tonight, there is no match, as every major sports league in the country is on Midyear hiatus. In the southern parts of town, some lone composers are passing the time in their record studios. Their buildings will be demolished soon to make way for a new metro line. Not every major studio has accepted to move downtown, and critics complain that soon the neighborhood will have lost much of its nightly charm. But who wants to foot the bill for burying the metro underground? The Blue Line runs almost 24/7, only pausing for one short hour on weekends, serving the city's partygoers as an attempt to curb drunk driving inside the city. At least where the Blue Line runs, it seems to work so far, though every station is staffed by police officers to avoid trouble. This is most obvious at State Street Station, the transport hub of the city, which remains noisy animated throughout the night, ferrying people from pub to pub, from nightclub to nightclub.. It is 5AM already, and rain is beginning to fall as slowly, people go home. And so in very little time, as the sun rises, an eerie silence settles upon the sleepless city. Everyone's gone home to sleep, finally, and the rain washes away the mess left behind on the streets. Today's going to be less hot, that's for sure. It doesn't take long for the sun to come back, however, and by mid-day it is as if it had never rained. If Loredas is a day of drinking and revelling, Sundas is more family friendly, with many people taking their children out to the park, or even on the shores of the lake. And while nobody ever really dips into the water, some forlorn souls do wander amongst the ruins of the former beach resort. At least there's more than a token service on most bus routes! But the day is already almost over, and for most tomorrow is yet another Morndas of work. Another day, another septim... But there are worse places to live out the daily grind, that's for sure! Ashford has comparatively little commute times, for instance, and prices in the city aren't quite as high as, say, Glenvale or Vesper Bay prices. And this is it for Ashford today, so I hope you enjoyed, and next time we'll visit the road and rail systems that form the backbone of the city. Oh, and maps : This is a map of Ash County, with Ashford in the middle, in the style of Amesbury's old maps from when CSL first launched... And here's a map of the more central areas of Ashford! So that's all for today, see you next time :>

Hello everyone! Today we're going high definition...can you guess where? That's right! We're going to Vesper Bay, a city located on the west coast of Cathnoquey. Here : Anyway! Let's take a tour at the city we're going to spend the next few entries on. Vesper Bay is a middle-sized city, with approximately 170.000 residents in the city proper. Vesper Bay features a tram line which for the most part has its own track or at least its own lane. It is mostly known for its University, one of the few institutions really working well in town. There are quite a few office buildings in Vesper Bay. The biggest is bound to be the Everdawn Tower, behind these two buildings. The city is actually quite hilly, and a lot of housing is of the traditional north Cathnoquey style - shifting away from the terraced houses common in Westport. Many of the buildings in Vesper Bay date from quite some time ago now. Many of the districts are in need of refurbishment. The town is not usually very rich, and unemployment is very high. Vesper Bay has its own airport, which handles the majority of the local air traffic. Vesper Bay Airport has a whooping four runways! However, only one of them really is used by the biggest jets, while the one that crosses all the other ones is reserved to general aviation traffic. Vesper Bay is built in a grid-like fashion, though there are many grid plans across the city. Outside town, farmlands and meadows roll over the hills... Vesper Bay features a good highway network, mostly made up of the A4 to the north and southwest, and the P1 and P6 roadways to the west and southeast. Not all of these roadways are motorways, however - even the P4 is cut in half at some point, though there are plans to finally link up both parts of the route. Other roads out of the city are much quieter, of course. The city is at the heart of the Wheat Belt, and is also a big producer of dairy products and timber. And that's it for today! Cool new buildings, trams, trains, and a lot of other stuff await! Hope you enjoyed this quick tour and well, see you next time :))

Entry 31 : Shadows of Westport (5E136)
Linoa06 posted a City Journal entry in Skylines of Cathnoquey
Heya there! This is probably one of the last entries on Westport. I'm turning my sight to two new cities with Snowfall out (as well as a Fallout 4 side project), so let's wrap Westport up! The sun sets on Westport, but for the residents of HSP Perwyn North, it's another day of toil and hard labour. In the free world, though, it seems it will be another clear night tonight. Many people are headed home. The nights are cold in Westport, and the winds are bone-chilling. The skies are clear, but it's a new day that begins for the seedy casinos and run-down pubs of the city. The bus pulls away from the fast lane bus stop... Another comes, filled not with commuters but hazy-eyed revelers. The town hall is definitely quiet tonight. Sometimes, though, debates last until dawn. Today, the fountain in front of it is the place to be. It's a popular meeting spot, usually between two pubs or before heading home. Nightclubs and even the Cheese Wheel operate at night, and the police have long given up checking their licences. Some kinds of crime are an issue in Westport, and many businesses are rumoured to be fronts for less savoury organisations. For instance, there's a wave of arsons befalling the city. For firefighters and the police, nights aren't necessarily restful. No one knows who's behind the attacks, only that they happen at night, and always target certain shops. Meanwhile, far from any patrol, drag racers and members of the Dunmeri mafia enjoy the empty roads and speed past understaffed police stations. Most citizens would rather sweep criminal activity under the rug. Westport needs to keep its reputation as a beach resort pristine, after all. A new day comes, and banishes the shadows of Westport away. There are tourists to accomodate, and businesses to be run, a small respite for an ambivalent Dunmeri city. Anyway, that's it for now. Feel free to leave some feedback as always and thanks for reading -
Hi all, I'm having some missing props in SC4, exactly in the City Hall lot, when i plop it, it shows a brown box on a corner, like is there is something not present in the game content. Matter of fact, I've installed some custom trees, is it possible that some of them have affected part of the lots in the game? To be more precise, here is a shot of what I am now: I use a lot of custom stuff in sc4, I remember that some of them changed the green areas inside some lots, but not exactly which one caused the missing stuff problem. Tnx in advance
