Looking good!

I am curious though... in the close up of that stream... it doesn't seem to be the same as the other water. Is this a re-textured plop water I haven't seen or what?

The ploppable water that I have used is by Sorchin, and includes several types of water, rocks, dead trees and wildflowers. Either from STEX or PLEX.

We never got that show here, in Australia (only Sesame Street) but after reading the Wiki article you linked, I get it.

To everyone else, thanks for your comments. I'm still working on my plugins for this, but in the meantime I found a couple of images from Summerhayes that I had forgotten about, both from the central downtown city:

Jen-  Two old pics from you beats a good day at the office anytime.  It's great to see you come up on the "post" list- and thanks for "getting" Mr. R- he was a personal hero- a truly good person.

'til the next!

indeed, two pics from your deeps would beat any of my greats any day.  hoping to achieve what you can with being random. good luck with the exaggerated uk map!

I've been putting my plugins folder back together again (still have a couple of problems to iron out) but I thought I'd show you some pictures from one of my test cities. As far as how British everything looks, I can only go by what I've seen in books, movies and on TV. I guess I'm going for sentiment, not accuracy.

[Rayden]

Very British looking, and very well putted together. Excellent work my friend.

The streets with rowhouses are just corgeous - and very British in my opinion  

[pickled_pig]

I also like the long streets surrounded by row homes - it reminds me of some of the residential districts in Boston, Massachussetts. 

Your pictures appear to be alive and energetic compared to most other CJs, which honestly can sometimes look rather dead and lifeless.

I just went thropugh your CJ and I really do like it.

I really love that "Ghetto" on page 2 and the dirty industry. I am a bit bored by all these nice&clean Rich neighbourhoods & Skyscrapers and really ebjoy if someone takes care for the poorer sims!

As someone who is still using the same downloaded Greyscale Map for two years now I really pay respect if I can see such a beautiful nature environment.

And I am pleased that you focused a bit on the ThingRow - houses - one of my favourites yet you don't se them very often in a MD / CJ.

Jen, hi.

Never been to London, but I've been to Baltimore (U.S.) [linkie].  Every one of those pics has something that evokes the Monument City for me.

It's great work- glad to see the plugins situation is sorting itself out.

Great stuff Jen - very British - I like what you've done with Emmas' terraces.

[thundercrack83]

Well, I don't know if it looks British or not (I'm from Pennsylvania...), but whatever it looks like, I think it looks great! Great job!

[tankmank]

I'm brittish and i can tell you that is quite accurate it is but not all of england is old and stuff don't be scared of adding new modern loking buildins apart from that looking good

I forgot to ask you where you got the "PC Building" from.  Thanks in advace if you can help.
