@TG24, @TogaMasterJohn, @raynev1, @franyer, @carlosmarcelo, @Dead_End, @CaptCity, @hugues aroux, @TheMurderousCricket, @mitsos and @Golan0 , thank you very much for your likes, comments and follows Originally, my plan was to build 2 different small towns and show both of them in my next entry. Well, change of plan. This entry is going to be a special one because it's a tribute to a very special friend, @CorinaMarie. As you know, Corina has been absent from Simtropolis since 15 of July, with terrible implications about her health. Our mind was with her all that time, and still is. A few days after those worrisome news, I decided to build a city dedicated to her. Cori is more than just an administrator, you know. She's a friend to everybody. Her contribution was so big and important and she's such a helpful and kind friend that... Well, let's just say that Simtropolis without her would not be the same. The city is ready, and thanks to the miraculous news that Cori is alive, I think it's time to show it, while celebrating for her. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Coriville. A special city for a special friend. The city is inspired by Cori's unique building style. Instead of following a hard set of rules that removes all the fun and creativity that the game generously offers, Cori preferred tons of experimentation and free-styled building, leading to some really beautiful and cozy towns with lots of farms, railroads and apartment buildings surrounded by those farms. I tried to mimic her style, but since Coriville is also in my futuristic version of Fairview, I also tried to make the town a little more green and solarpunk. The result is a town which is both rustic and high-tech I usually use my reloted versions of the classic SimMars civic buildings, but for Coriville I've made an exception. All civic structures are Maxis-made, just like in her towns. This gives Coriville a more rustic style, advanced but still cozy. You can say that this also gives Coriville some past, a touch of history, that this town was always here. I tried the same thing with the farms as well. Instead of vertical farms and futuristic labs, Coriville uses a more simple and old school agriculture style that still uses the land with smart and efficient ways. In fact, the only piece of actual futuristic technology is this exotic turbine, which produces electricity by creating an increased magnified vortex. During operational service, the blade rotation is rapidly accelerated around the 42nd factor angle. This then establishes perpetual motion that allows power to be exponentially produced from the internal hyper-generator. The dynamic quantification of this occurs so swiftly, meaning the minimum wind speed for optimal runtime is equivalent to a calm, gentle breeze. Right now, the only connection Coriville has with the rest of the world is by this railroad, which is used by both freight and passenger trains. This railroad ends up to an underground hangar, which also works as a transition to the underground transportation system that Fairview already uses. One day, Coriville will be connected with the rest of the region, giving this railroad an even more important role in Fairview's development. And in case you're curious, yes, some Sims are actually using this transition... which includes a 90 degrees turn and a crazy U-turn! I can see fanatic seekers of realism crying and screaming in agony But just because something looks classic and old-school, doesn't mean it can't be more than meets the eye. We could imagine that this manor houses an ordinary, biological mayor. But you know what? No. We're into the future, so we need something better. Instead, let's imagine that it houses a sophisticated central AI, called Central Operator of Rustic Installments n. 16, or just CORI-16. As the most advanced AI of the CORI series, CORI-16 is the only so far that thinks more like a human and less like a computer. This makes her the friendliest and most cozy AI ever made, full with human-like personality and always eager to help everybody. It's actually a habit of her to begin any conversation and statement not with "Dear humans" or something like that, but with "Hiya!". To honor her, a local artist build a statue of a human version of CORI-16, made by self-cleaning materials to keep it clean and shining. And yes, that plate actually says "Hiya, everybody!". But of course Coriville in not only the town itself but also what's around it, including a beautiful forest with lots of flowers, bushes, rocks and animals roaming around. This time I tried something new. I tried to give some extra life to the shores of the town by recreating underwater "forests", with fishes swimming around underwater plants. What I tried to make was something like this: And this is the result. Of course that's my first attempt, so ideas for improving are welcomed. This was my tribute to Cori. I tried to make it something special and I hope I did it. Let's finish it with some night pictures of Coriville, while keeping in our mind our beloved heroine

I do not know a good way to say it then I will be very direct. After all this time we need to get used to not see our dear @A Nonny Moose here again. He passed away on September 28. http://www.haskettfh.com/winterton-john-hensall/ That last time he came here I think we all feel relieved, but I found it strange he appeared to say nothing and didn't return again. It could be himself making a last visit or a family member arranging something. Today I decided to look for something again and came across the bad news. What remains from now to us is to have good memories of John and his incredible help on Simtropolis. No doubt he is an icon. We will never forget your help several times in the forums, just like your daily posts entertaining and informing us. Rest in Peace, buddy.

Ocean Valley- A Pretty Place
Titanicbuff posted a City Journal entry in Ocean Valley- Heart of the Seaside
This update is dedicated in memory of those lost in Paris- It is with a heavy heart that this update is done. United Sim Nations Presents: Ocean Valley-Pretty Place. In the wake of the tragedy in Paris Ocean Valley has shown its support- City hall featuring a banner in the colors of the French flag. Built in 1607, Ocean Valley was originally a a mansion for the home of Lord George Hurtmare. Upon his death he donated his home to the city, for there use. They chose to use it as city hall. A French Flag adorns a french inspired pillar in the City Hall Round About- the round about is just a couple blocks from City Hall. Inspired by Louis XVI, this noble pillar is a showcase of this remarkable city. Designed by Jean Michel- a Paris born architect, he was commissioned in 1945 to design a World War 2 memorial- this was his design. The plaque thats covered by the flag reads: TO THE ROYAL MILITARY LOST IN WORLD WAR II 1939-1945 Somehow the pillar seems fitting as another memorial. Enough Gloom and Doom- here we show the Stadium Spdi. Always busy, the SPDI is a remarkable exit to the stadium. A Stoplight sits in the center. It was added in 2011 after an accident killed a baseball player as he tried to get through the interchange to head home. It simply added a reminder that the interchange is overly busy after games, and needed to be reworked. Fun in the Sun? Try an amusement park. The city has many attractions for it. This is one of them. This attraction is a major magnet for tourists- Prices are fairly cheap, but the fun of the place is top notch. Featuring an observatory, playground, a couple roller coasters and a Farris wheel, this attraction is a wonderful place to visit. Hope you enjoyed this latest update. See you again soon.- 2 Comments
