Pace Creek bending through the 'suburbs' (heh, can a town of <1000 people have suburbs?)

St Patrick's Church and the Town cemetery... with some wealthier houses.

The shot of the Budget... now, time for some math:

$735 divide by 100 mutliplied by 60 gives us the minimum monthly income: $441
As $441 < $521... the budget meets the criteria  ()stsfd()

The overview of the Township... with important locations marked.

These pictures show that the town has progressed from a lower wealth community to a richer community... The Mouse Houses have been replaced with Matt325b's housing.

Good luck to all...

Many thanks all!

Your comments are very encouraging...

Now, I've had to restart Pleystowe, as I sorta accidently ruined the budget balance I had going  :P

I'll have some more pictures soon.

 :) Painful isn't it. I haven't had to worry about balancing the books for years. I'm finding that the hardest part of the challenge. :'(

Well, as I balance out the budgets of all of my cities that wasn't the hardest part for me but for a lot of eyecandy builders at the simforum.

On the other hand: a competition is always a challange, too, and too easy would be boring, wouldn't it?  :D

Very cool! However, that litle area in between the house in the bottom left corner could be filled in with trees (hint, hint) ;).

The town center is nice.

Unfortunately, I will be withdrawing from the competition, due to my less-than-satisfactory behaviour.

Thanks for the comments guys, but... such is life.

Havva good one,
Adrian.

EDIT: Again, I have changed my mind. I will be entering in the Competition...

I don't think that's any reason to take yourself out of the competition. It is your decision however. If you decide to change your mind again, you have until the deadline. The choice is yours though.

Anyway, the first post has been updated with newer, better pictures...
Enjoy!

some real nice shots in there. Am loving those, like yours, that have a village nestled amongst wilderness. Matt's houses are looking great.
