Commonwealth updates

wows aweshume :D can't wait for Mondays ^^

I can sense some suburbs appearing around that area soon.

I wonder what the big update will be about; let me guess...transportation?

You do have a thing with transportation, Kenny! But we don't mind, because you're showing us all the stuff you build next to it too, and it looks great!

D: Pictures

Wherever there's shopping centers, there's suburbs. D: Where be dah housing mon?

Replies:

Ying: Sorry about that...
Jack: I sense you might be right
Dan: He knows D:
Qorten: Well that's my thing, transportation. Thanks.
Carl: Yes D:
Mike: Well, Paradise is at the point where its major cities don't really have sprawl yet, so all I can say is soon.

Totally forgot Monday was a holiday, so I'll show two pics today.

Suburbs in Jackson City.



Suburbs near Red Line Station in Paradise City.

We have the same street-tree/sidewalk mod. I like the suburbs.

Good subs, they look quite organic!

Suburbs!

Jack: Do we? D: I'd change it but I haven't the slightest clue where it is XD
Qorten: I don't really like straight lines, unless I'm being lazy
Dan: Indeed D:

Day 4 folks.

This is Franconia, a small town/soon to be assimilated suburb south of Braun City.

I'll have to check whether I can find that on your map.

Looks like a pretty decent place. Also, highways.

Avenue, not highway. Although there is indeed a rural highway, but that's hardly worth the name highway.

Moar suburbs!

Also, that rail ain't going nowhere

More suburbs. I think Paradise needs some new trees. D:

Qorten: It's the mess of development under the rectangular mess of development to the left of the farm filled tile on this map

Dan: Thanks, but what highway?

Carl: yes moar suburbs. But what do you mean that rail's going nowhere? D: It goes to Braun City.

Jack: Most of the tiles were treed back in 2008-9 and i got the MMP tree thing about 2 months ago, and I'm focusing on making development more than trees so it'll be a while.

Day 5 brings farms from Brocato, north of Burgess and south of Clearyville. I really need to get around to redoing some of these tiles.

That's a whole lot of that region filled already! How long have you been building on all that?

Wow, that region... Looks sooo Real D:

I liek that river

the MMP water looks awesome!

The river + the farm = really realistic

UGHH i love that river! And you're using custom farms too. D: I have no time for those since I use farms as fillers. Ughhhh that riverrrr!

Yeah, really well done landscaping indeed. Lovely little stream!

Carl, Jack, Dan, Qorten: Thanks!

Mike: That was an experiment, and I didn't think it would go over so well

Day 6 brings a changing skyline in Paradise City.

Disclaimer: As you may or may not know I grow most, if not all my buildings. So that being said, I'd like to point out that these buildings were grown, not plopped. THe black one on the far right has been growing like weeds.

Ooo, pretty!

I too have a "grow it, not plop it" policy with most of my cities
