Title: New Devon - UPDATE - 28th May, Where'd you wanna go? - region shot

Welcome to New Devon, this is my latest region, this one I actually decided
to do the terrain by hand so I did. Currently it is 2x2 Large Tiles. This was made
primarily for my site, so here we go.

We are first going to introduce you to existing businesses within my city. First up we have Montanah Flags. After the loss of MoM, they have started their own little fairground in the city of Plymport in the New Devon region. Here you can see it in action.

The next Business was Entertania, the owner Leo, decided that he was going to build an olympic size swimming pool next to the fair ground as part of the complex.

The final business to join in on the scheme was Kylian Inc. This crazy tycoon decided to build the tallest building in the city a fancy hotel for the fairground and mainly for the olympic sized swimming pool.

Post by: JJ on April 12, 2007, 12:32:57 PM
Welcome to back to the region of New Devon, we will be revisiting the city of Plymport. Today is an important day as the hospital in Plymport is celebrating 50 years. The hospital named Stoke Royal Hospital is located right next to the city hall and the greens in front. It is opposite of the fairground and recieves many patients each year!

The homes are still available and will be added to the system as soon as I can find time.

The Auction for the piece of land for newcomers is still on, here. (http://www.scproperty.rctstop.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=188)

You've done a great job with this city.  The pictures are beautiful.  I have a request: could you zoom out a bit and give us a look at the city layout?  I'm amazed with the detail of your current pictures, so I'm curious to see what I could learn from seeing a bit more of your city's layout.  Thanks for sharing.

Excellent planning. I agree with robotninjapirate about the level of detail. The sloped avenue in the earlier updates look good, as does the road layout in the mosaic showing the residential areas on the hillside.

The same can be said for the latest update - the car park merging into the road and the path leading into the back of the McDonalds stand out. Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:
Title: Re: New Devon - UPDATE 22nd May
Post by: JJ on May 22, 2007, 01:28:57 PM
Hello and Welcome back to New Devon. We are currently still visiting the lovely city of Plymport, the largest in the region so far. There are three other cities, Overwinning(Farming Village), Tythen Pendra(Mountain Village) and Exeton(Small Town).

We are now going to head to the southwest to the notorious White Sand Beaches. This is the only real resort in Plymport, with luscious white sandy beaches and coral reefs and the best hotel in the city, The Grand Hussar Hotel. The rooms vary, with the more expensive being the honey moon sweets especially with an ocean view. Here you can see the beach in front of the hotel. The hotel offers free rides on the octopus, with various boat rides out to see the corals, or scuba diving/snorkeling, whatever they may prefer. Other water sports include water skiing and windsurfing. The western region of the the beach, is a no swim zone, but houses a water taxi that takes you on an exploration around the shores of Plymport.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi10.tinypic.com%2F53pgbv7.jpg&hash=036b2ba2935c99905e1642735fcf70236e6f5bbe)

Next I am going to take you all the way back out, up further north, into the suburbs. This is also the location of the world famous Plymport International University, which houses students from all across the globe, teaching in five languages, English, Dutch, Cornish(Three main languages of New Devon). Courses are also available in French and Spanish, but at an extra cost.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi13.tinypic.com%2F4yq8fo9.jpg&hash=7068388e30726c2458e7991d13fecd8c2fbaa5fd)

After this we are gonna take you back to the city centre. Here you can see the tesco's that survived the hurricane of 2007. Opposite of the building is a sainsbury's however this is due to be removed as they have opened a much larger store near the flyover, and tesco's is stealing all their competition as they are just across the roads. Marks and Spencers will be building there soon.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi13.tinypic.com%2F4mwugxu.jpg&hash=a796cabc6358f0a03a71cb4d814eb5d268eb3c58)

Finally not too far from the city centre, about 1 minute by car and 3 by foot, depending on traffic is a new plot of land for sale. It is 7x3, and bids are starting at 15,000. You can bid here (http://www.scproperty.rctstop.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1228#1228) If you are interested, you can also find a screen of the land at that link too.

Nice neighborhoods and colorful commercial district. Especially fond of the photo with Stone Cold Creamery on one level and the other buildings above it. I really like the effect although that's not to say I've figured out how to do it in my own cities. The stone walls fit well into their surroundings, too (don't know how to work with those either!). New Devon reflects a lot of careful planning and attention to detail. You've earned your bragging rights  ;)!

Hehe

But just to let you guys know...

Screens from before the 19th are very old, as in, the old Plymport. I had to reformat and lost Plymport at that time, so started again. And everything since the 19th is in my new Plymport.

Also I am gonna take some closer screens later today...

But for now a more recent overview

http://www.scproperty.rctstop.com/rct/overview18.jpg

This is the finished form of Plymport, it will be expanded at a later date. But now I am more building the current status of the New Devon region. I have finished the Farming Village of Overwinning aswell. And I need to build the ski resorts in the mountains, the pit and tourist trap area in the east. Also I need to build the mountain ruins villages, with a few home on route. Also I need to build Tythen Pendra(the northern village above the mountains) and Exeton, which is between Plymport and the tourist trap. Oh and plant the rainforest.

Welcome back to New Devon!

Before we were visiting the city of Plymport, but now I think it's time for a detour off route, lets travel a little way up the North Carolina Expressway. Not too far away is the small farming village of Overwinning. Overwinning was built in memory of the Dutch families that lived in the mountains back in the history of New Devon. Overwinning translates as Victory in dutch, so it details how the Hausenwager family managed to achieve such Victory over many years.

Here we have the home where the current descendants of the Hausenwager family currently live.

Here you can see where the North Carolina Expressway interchanges with the A1 and A2. You cannot see the A1 as it is on the other side of that cloverleaf.

JJ, hey!

I took a nice leisurely walk through your MD for the first time today and it would seem you've got a really nice start at a region that holds a lot of promise.  I found the links to pics not displayed in the MD a bit distracting- you've got so many nice ones offsite it's as if you're hiding the light under the old bushel.  The region map was great- very professionally conceived, almost as if from a tourism brochure.  About the only thing that could have made it better was perhaps a larger size image at a finer level of detail.  I found myself wanting to see things more closely.

Anyway, Good Luck!  I'm sure New Devon has a bright future.
