Will your next update have a refrigerator factory?

Great picture, can't wait for more

That's not exactly a tourist destination for a Simlympic bid, so no

Thanks to all of you for your compliments!

LOL

Actually it can I remember having factory tours

But factory tours are fun! Especially Jelly Belly (Free samples galore)

Okay, I'll put a refrigerator factory in...

two updates from now

Yay fridge factories!

Yay

Link you should do a steamroller factory

The big update is coming in about 36 hours. I'm making a last-minute change of plans on my Simlympic Park because, unlike last year, I don't have a working lot editor, so it will probably have to be a last-minute bid too, which I didn't exactly want, but I am positive it will make the due date of the afternoon of September 1.

Anyway I've been working on this thing for a while. It's an accurate map of the Galanos Subway. It's a 3105x2377 .png, so this bad boy will obviously be requiring a new window or tab

Nice Map

LOL you could have gave us the link instead of the pic

Or I could've given you the pic

By the way after the big update, I'll show off a refrigerator factory.

This update has over 60+ images within a PDF file. By picture count it is the largest update in the lengthy over two-year history of New Chandler.

If you have problems with the download please let me know

that is really nice

Wow! Great Bid K50!

Galanos itself is looking good, love the city building and the transit. The road network looks like it is laid out to handle all the traffic with ease.

In case you were not aware, my Simlympic bid that made up entry 48 was not the winner. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little surprised myself, but on the flipside, I get to go a new direction for New Chandler, while someone else gets to enjoy the privilege of hosting that I had a year ago

I've been showing a lot of huge cities recently and I think I'm going to go rural for a while. If you have ANY suggestions about farms please give me them because I haven't used them since the Parringshire update (#25) of December 2010... and we're coming up on update #49... time files doesn't it? Anyway I want suggestions because that Parringshire update was pretty horrendous and rushed.

Also as the picture and title suggests I'm back in school so my activity might take a little dip for a while, but I'll still be showing you New Chandler as time permits. I'm expecting about 3 updates every 2 months or so. Time will tell...

Sorry about the rambling, I hope you read all of that here's the pic:

I forgot to thank all of you who commented on the Simlympic Bid... so thank you

If any of you remember the Spaulding teaser (not sure when that was, probably last year), the same thing happened to this one. I got bored with rural areas and wanted to go back to east New Chandler City.

Originally this was supposed to be a voting entry but I kind of made the decision on my own, so we can be optimized for a good, long drive for update 50, because entry 50 has to be awesome, and I wanted to show off two colleges I had These driving entries are also a sort of tribute to TekindusT's Taxi Driver journal from a few years back. If you haven't seen it you need to.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this relatively short drive, you might be familiar with a few of the places we visit already



We're starting off at Don Figote Airport. New Chandler City has three airports, this one is by far the smallest, but it's the closest to the Central Core.


Leaving the airport, we go through a roundabout and accelerate up the Fordham Avenue viaduct. It was built to skip several lights and avoid a relatively shady industrial area of town, two things tourists like.


We're going to peel right now onto Highway 317 westbound, a bisector of the sprawling city.


Crossing the freeway is the Burlesque Avenue (bottom) and Beltine (top). Exit 34 has access to several surface streets, including the Beltline.


We now hit Exit 33 serving two surface streets. We'll be taking the exit and veering left and heading onto the Paseo de Jardínas (Gardens Avenue), which heads through several Spanish-speaking parts of town.


Heading north on the Paseo we meet DeLornier Avenue again, on the northern edge of DeKalb University. Formerly a Catholic Mission, it's now a Catholic private university. It also has one of the four major Catholic high schools in New Chandler City, DeKalb Preperatory.


We now continue through another roundabout with Paseo and Regal Avenue. Regal Avenue is an off-grid throughfare that heads into the Central Core. During this part of the drive the light rail line is in the middle of the avenue.


Continuing the drive down the garden-lined road, you might be able to see the light rail line resurface. It will head northeast toward the Civic Center station (if you saw update 47 you would know what I am referring to).


We now are heading through Colegio Virrey Briso (Viceroy Bryce College). This college handles much of the Spanish-speaking crowd and will be a good stopping point today.


The next update is Update 50 and I'm going big. See that freeway at the top of the picture? We're hopping on it and taking a nice long drive.

Hope you liked this update though, if you did, leave a comment, give it a +1, all that fun stuff

D: Nice

Can't wait for update 50! (Can't wait for the industrial areas (refrigerator factories) )

Oh whoops, it's in the second picture, I just didn't point it out.... but I put it in game!

Very very pretty... hopefully my region will get there eventually.

Fridge factories? :O Is a steamroller factory next?

There is some pretty awesome stuff here!

Thank you Elavery

Forgot to post this last night, I did on ST, so I feel pretty ashamed...

Junior year is as bad as everyone said it is so it might be another week or two (or three ) before I get this out, but it's going to have a lot of pictures. The style will be the same as the last update so not too many surprises. If you want to look ahead the Simlympic Bid might be your best bet, but practically every highway you see in those pictures is being redone.

Here's a really badly-timed (as in, no cars) screenshot of where we left off on Update 49 and where we will start in Update 50.

FULL SIZE!

As I have said, update 50 is another drive through New Chandler City, similar to update 49. This is a very small glimpse of a major interchange that we will go through, where provincial route 8, national route 880, and national route 5E convene. It's fully functional (any freeway can be accessed from another freeway without stopping) and it's pretty messy, it extends 50 tiles, and what you see here is the widest part, so it's pretty cozy. You'll get to see all of it though (mosaic?) so don't worry.

Damn, I talk a lot before these teasers, sorry so here it is (remember to make it full size):

Nice cant wait to see more of that system!
