Thanks for the help.

Ah!  I spy the little 1x1 LBT generator!   Yup it is a good one that one.

...and I see you have that crazy guy in his jet boat that hoons in and out of the marina moorings at the rate of knots!

yeah, that one and the little grey hut, that doesn't need road access ... village battery or so ...

Well, he's not bad, at least he's fast *grin* ... but I hate those katamarans, that ever so slowly weave their way through buildings, ships and anything else, they even creep into really tight spots , i.e. between a pier and a cliff with barely half a tile space.

I read a tip recently how to detour these guys, but forgot where...

Most if not all water automata tend to steer towards deeper waters, so if you have the sea bed, just under the areas you do not want them, a bit higher, they will usually avoid it.

Cool tip, I'll try that out ... Thanks!

I'm usually scared though to raise ground below water - one touch too near land and you could flatten whole neighborhoods

water is gone, little to no damage to city (only power lines are usually affected)

when done with sea bed adjustments, save and exit to region, then return to city.

DO NOT, and I stress this, do not plop any coastal lots while the water is gone.

Some time beach lots will need to be reploped afterward.

oha ... serious stuff - better try this first on a couple of test-tiles :-P
Thanks again!

Neat trick, can't wait to see how that works out, on a test city of course.

"Well, hurricane 'Dependicitia' left behind irreparable damage..."

I thought hurricane names were only used once.... but Hurricane Dependicitia seems to hit my Sim Nation on a fairly regular basis.... , which is why I believe I'll never complete a city, never mind a region.

After seeing MountainView... and your tutorial on placing ploppable water, flora, rocks etc.... Hurricane Dependicitia hit again...

Thanks for the inspiration, I look forward to each update!

No its hits every where in SimNation.  It took out The Marquette Area just a few months ago.

I had enough with hurricane Katrina, and put up 100 foot storm walls around my cities

hi everyone 

Mr. PAENG

Your work is beautiful, great, and the detail you made in every square reflet that you are a GOZU Mayor   :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

the picture of the "Marina" is one of the best. I cannot imagine how the work of planning was to be hard , but the look of the marina is awesome and spectacular 

Thanks for sharing these great pictures from your C.J

I am impatient to see the others ....... :thumbup:  :thumbup: :thumbup:

[clearlypowa]

 

I have just take a look on your album (21 great pictures)  :thumbup:  :thumbup:

Keep going

Thank you for your kind words  :
Well, the marina ... yes, that was hard work, if I may say so. I'm not sure what I did more - plop lots or bulldoze lots 

I am impatient to see the others

well, coming up in a mo ... keep on scrolling  :rockon

Canaletto

Harvesting the Big River

Since the river splits into various arms before jumping into our valley, we decided to catch each arm using the ARS-technology.


The steepest one offered itself as a perfect place to set up a small hydro dam, supplementing our powersupply.




All government agencies work hand in hand to monitor the quality and distribution of all the water. The goal is to make Canaletto the main water-supplier for the whole region.


Our citizens are supplied with the best possible drinking water, fresh and clean.


Industry is supplied with ample fresh water, while all their waste-water is channeled into a complex purification-facility. Thanks to the Mayor of 'Deep River' for the inspiration!



*Better image on Page 10!*

CWM (Canaletto Water Mutual) has set up its regional headquarters, ready to strike a deal with any interested neighbor.


Security for the industrial district and the expensive ARS is at a high level.


Naturally, Canaletto-Sims love everything to do with water :-)


Comfortable medium wealth neighbourhoods for content Sims.


A little museum/library-complex, and another public pool, of course ;-)


Just for orientation, here is an overview of the whole town.


I'll post some more close-up soon, there are some more interesting angles. I'd just like to get a little more variation in hitech-buildings first ...
In one of the next updates I will also show an updated regional view, as it's grown quite a bit...
