Less Maxis. Download some CC. I don't think palm trees are in Canada, so get a mod. Don't use a real life country's name in your country's name, unless its really neccessary (like British _ for a former part of said empire). Don't crop pics. Remove UDI icons. Hide the menus with the [-] then use PrtScr and put in Paint and save as JPEG/JPG. Smile

Thanks Bruce. However, I should have introduced my region better. I envision New Canada as an oversees territory of Canada located somewhere along the Atlantic Coast somewhere around where, say, Jacksonville, FL is today. I will shortly post some more images of my city with the JPG format. Thanks for the tips.

The entrance to the Convention Centre is in the historic train station just West of the Downtown core, near the intersection of Atlantic and Borden (see below). The actual event space is located mostly underground. On top of that space, a large urban forest was created and behind that is the Rail District (see first post for a picture).

And one more,

The intersection of Atlantic and Borden is one of the trendiest places in the city. Right on the corner, in the pink building, is one of the best coffe spots in the city; Common Grounds.
