Pat: Saint Hell is like jail; nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.  ;D ;)

Bat: Thank you, Bat!

Thundercrack: More is coming in the near future. :) Thanks fo stoppin' by.

One thing I should throw out there to you folks - my Artika Mayor Rating! That came about not after the disasters destroyed the city, but actually after I rebuilt it a bit and knocked down a bunch of low-income towers to relocate the residential elsewhere. I've never actually had a totally negative Mayor Rating before! But I guess the Sims of that city had only a limited patience for the mayor's bulldozing whims ... it just plunged after that ...

It's a bit odd since the city's other numbers (Health, Education, Safety, etc.) are pretty good (not great, but certainly not horribly awful as the Rating suggests). Anybody have this happen?

The Rating has recovered a tiny bit since, but it still deeply in the red zone. game quirk, or ... ???

I said there's more - there is.  ;D

City of the Vanished, City of the Salt Springs Eternal.

The Southernmost tip of the city was, in the past, never heavily developed.



But that changed when nearby condo owners wanted to spruce up the area (and jack up their rents) with a seaside attraction ...











Some other shots from around the city ...

The international airport is undergoing an embellishment.



Obriell Park is expanded.





The University commissions a monument which looks suspiciously like the Coit Tower in San Francisco.



A beautiful new school for the youth of COV-COSSE sits beneath the glittering 'scrapers ...



That's it for now. :)

Thanks, Thunder.  ;D

I want to show you all a city to the immediate East of COV-COSSE. I call it Censor city, and it's small - only one game tile ...





Smoggy, scuzzy.

But also large and fast-growing ... the slum of Grudglingville would spring up, a reaction to the concentration of dirty industry nearby ...



The time came to spruce up the nicer areas of the city.







I really like the finished product, for whatever reason. That's a city with character, if you ask me. ;)

The city of Aravan to the extreme West of the region ... one might say it is Somewhere in My Mind's answer to Jerusalem, or Mecca or Medina, or Paris, Texas, etc,.  ::) It is the place where holy Sims go to pray for their neighbours and thank their ever-lovin' Mayor ... I mean, God, for all they have. A beautiful thing, really.





The word on the street is that the Old Cathedral you see there will soon be augmented by several other structures of goodwill and piety.  ;)

Not far South of Aravan is Awning Drip - an aspiring boomtown. The city fathers have been angling to secure an airport which would connect the Western cities with the rest of the region. So far they have been unsuccessful ... but they have a nice little downtown seen at night. ;)



And there is no weakness in the industrial sector, either ...



More later, Gators.  :P :thumbsup:

Great update, Flipside! Your downtowns look great, and I love the cathedral, too! And you're correct, there is no weakness in the industrial sector. I'll be looking forward to more, my friend!

Thank you for comin' by, Snaper!

You're right about the, ahem, penultimate image.  ;D I just let Maxis run wild with that city; I haven't exactly sculpted it to a tee. Just thought that the night shot looked nice.

Thundercrack: I'm happy you like it!!!  ;D

Wow....that was a lot of pictures.  I just noticed in the last few pictures, you don't use a slope modd.  Your rail tracks look like a roller coaster. LOL  None the less great update.

No, no slope modd. Have never investigated the question either. In real life, rail tracks go up and down hills, make turns, all that. I didn't think the tracks I do deviate too far from reality.

I love this MD!  Flipside, you've got a casual and laid back approach that really adds to the ambiance here.  Your interaction with your readers is really great, too.  The MD equivalent of a good time!

Just a few more page views, and it's on to the Best Sellers.  See you over there.

No idea, Pat! It's working for me! Maybe when you were lookin' my page view allotment from photobucket had run out for the month. :-[  :thumbsdown:

David: Thanks for the kind remarks. What can I say ... I GET LETTERS!  :P I like to hear what people are REALLY thinking, so it's nice that so many have unburdened themselves of their thoughts and advice in this thread.  ()stsfd()

I've had to neglect SimCity and this site the last little while. I've been working a lot! In a few weeks, I'll have more time, I'm sure. Then I'll have another update. Until then!
