Jen's random cities....

jen_p · January 25, 2007, 03:42:29 AM

Aside from the Shosaloza region, I always have several regions on the go. I get distracted and change my mind a lot. One day I might be playing a European-styled region, the next day a tropical region. So here's where I will post pictures from my cities. To start off, here's part of Ventura's downtown and some suburban areas:

Grrr! There were two other pics here but image shack lost them and I can't find them either.

wonderful pictures! Great "sunken" railway!

I NEED those suburban houses. Fantastic pics, I especially like the first one, very true to life. This is going to be a great collection of pics.

Jen- It's always great to wake up to something tasty, and your pics this morning were a real treat.

Looking forward to a great "random" Mayor's Diary.

Great stuff Jen_P. A lot of custom stuff also.
Very nice diagonal rail road layout. No nasty triangulars here.

I noticed in the upper left corner of the second picture a very nice lot:

Nice dirt road that I guess is part of the lot or bat or whatever the thing is called.
I am afraid it is your own doing and not available for mere mortals like myself?
I guess those great homes on the third picture are Cycledoggs...So also not yet available?

nedalezz and nik-nik, the houses that you are referring to are CP's fantastic houses, which are still in the testing stages. I'm glad you like my city so far.

Hi there!

I am a huge fan of your work. I haven't seen you build before, but I love your BAT:s. The Art Deco houses are going to appear frequently over in my MD. Actually, much of the architectural feeling I'm looking for is defined somewhere in the middle of yours and Debussymans BAT:s.

It's a real treat to see your work in action.

Jen apparently not only makes exquisite custom content but also knows how to incorporate it into a great looking city ...

... a diary well worth following.

Fabulous cities again Jen. And indeed, as the man above said: the CP houses are fantastic and you them right in your pictures.

Thanks for everyone's comments. This is just a quick post, 'cause it's getting late here.

I've started working on a new region. Most of my other regions are at least 6 months old and my attention span is not that long.

This region is called Summerhayes. It is generally flat with a river running through, and some gentle hills. I'll post a region shot when it looks a bit tidier. At the moment it is messy, little bits of city all over the place. The first city I started is Eastridge, a residential city to the east of what will be Downtown.

I love this American inspired city. I always admire how you can chop and change play styles so easily; it's always a pleasure to view!

emilin · January 28, 2007, 03:47:39 PM

Ooooooooooooooohhh... those lots are so cool. I want them so bad.

Frankie · January 28, 2007, 03:49:11 PM

Very Creative

especially the teepeed tree

Alfred.Jones · January 28, 2007, 04:06:55 PM

Your very talented Jen

Keep it up

Thanks for all the comments.

Here's a couple of pictures, from North Hayes, north of the CBD.

Firstly, here's a low wealth area:

The centre of the industrial sector:

NikNik · January 29, 2007, 04:30:03 AM

ooh Mistress stop teasing me with those cycledogg homes. They are so great!

Very nice industrial area. I like the use of Marrast's station there. Difficult to breathe there. The Global warming discussion has not reached your CJ jet

LOL
I also like that low wealth area. Glory gone past that neighbourhood I guess.
Can you give me a sneak peak on the area between the appartment buildings. I just wonder what you plop there.

Wonderful pictures! I like your centre of the industrial sector!
