Another game i like
-
Yeah, I like it. I played it a long time ago. Too bad I can't play it anymore! Because My brother change the cp.
-
I have that. I made a city that is huge, has a high tech industrial area, skyscraper apartments, huge malls, small skyscrapers for office development, etc. As you can see I have played this game for a long time. At first its really hard to figure out. But after a while you can become a genius. The only major thing I haven't acquired yet is the space station. About everything else I've been able to build. If you need any advice you can just ask. I usually do something simple at first then accumulate money. Then I make a huge risky development, and if that succeeds then I turn out with a full map and then upgrade from there. Don't try to start out with high density housing until almost all of the map is filled in. If you do they will most likely go unoccupied within a few years since the land value is too low.
The only problem I really have with development is keeping down pollution. But what I usually do (only possible after connecting about three successful dirty industry cities) is raise taxes on dirty industry to an unacceptable rate and lower taxes on both manufacturing and high tech (with high tech the lowest) and then build a high density plot of industry land and wait for it to fill out. Be sure to connect it with water! And a good industry will develop. After the demand for high tech has increased, delete some of the manufacturing buildings and wait a few years. You can now place houses and commerce next to it without them getting to unhappy :D.

i have deluxe edition of simcity 4
-
Do you mean rush hour? ???
-
i mean that is deluxe and rush hour. :P
-
I've also played SimCity alot! :D
Now it doesn't work on my normal computer anymore, but I can play it on my laptop... Which now is my "SimCity 4-computer". :P
I only play that on it... I love it. And yes, I also use your industry strategy,hbmp88. :) I both have the Deluxe Edition and Rush Hour. I like terraforming my own regions... In the start at least. :P But connecting cities and giving them my own name is also funny.
When it worked on my desktop I built a single city (not a region) that had more than 1 million inhabitants. That's my record.
-
i have deluxe edition of simcity 4
OMG! me to! and i got SimMars 2.0
-
... I love it. And yes, I also use your industry strategy,hbmp88. :)
So how did it turn out? I can get huge map filling cities that way, and virtually no pollution.
-
I often get problems with the traffic pollution. Traffic is my weak point. Usually I make rails, then bus stops and metro, but it doesn't help much. In the end I need to upgrade the boulevards to highways, and sometimes completely change my road structure, but I got a new tactic some time ago when I looked at the real maps of my own city:
If you build like this:
=============== Big road (boulevard/highway)
| | | | |
..|.. ..|.. ..|.. ..|.. ..|.. (dots = small roads)
| | | | | (lines = normal roads)
..|.. ..|.. ..|.. ..|.. ..|..
Then the main stream of traffic doesn't use the small roads to get through the city, but instead the highways and boulevards. :)
It's very effective, but hard to change if you build tall buildings so the small roads get too much traffic.
-
my problem is the high traffic.
-
So you use freeways, underground subways, and airports for traffic between cities. Check to see where the traffic comes from and where it goes. If it comes from another city make an airport in a lot of cities or connect all of them with freeways. If that is too much money then connect them all with subways or E-trains
-
You know that boulevards can connect directly into freeways right?
-
Of course. :P
I love making a city where the boulevards change into highways and they turn around the buildings. It looks so beautiful. And then with ramps all over the place, roads under it, and then make them change to ground level so the roads can go over them. :)
-
You can use cheat engine to add more money like 3 billion and some. never need to cheat weaknesspays.
Example: Money: 154,442 then search for 154442. and Build somthing you want. then your money is 75,243
search for 75243. click then enter any number. like 1 billion ;D
Cheat engine can be downloaded here: http://www.cheatengine.org
-
I like to learn how to get huge cities first then cheat for money when the waiting gets boring later. :P
-
I kind of wish I still had SC4 but now I'm addicted to The Sims 3.
-
Same.
-

You're 12, and you made a DS game? Are you sure? And how?
-
Just got the Sims 3 I installed it but the disk won't read now! Anybody have this problem? It says something like disc authentification could not be found...
-
Hbmp88, try their official forums here:
Link (http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/sims-series/)
-
I already did. They had absolutely nothing on it. :(
-
Have you tried EA Support? You can e-mail them... I think there is a link on the top of the forums.
-
You know I think I'll just find a day to return the game and get another CD because it seems that all the data is there and the pre-game video runs flawlessly.
-
Is there a way I can upload my Simcity4 city? It includes rush hour too. But it's just over 3 MB. :(
-
Come on I really want to share my city! >:( Why can't I just upload it :(
-
A glitch is found when you press the Windows button (on your left part on your keyboard near the space bar) then if you click the simcity 4 icon on your taskbar. then some objects would look like squares.
-
Not all keyboards are the same, and by the way that was a really random comment to what I wrote above. Can you try to be more reasonable on where you post? We can't read your mind so try to be more clear. I really don't know why I'd care if you found a glitch on your computer. All I asked for is an alternative way to post my city since it is over 2050 KB.
-
But dan dixon must have maximum attachment size allowed like 8192 kb. or 16384 kb.

And that's exactly what I was talking about. I clearly stated that the maximum was 2050 KB and monmarf replied:

I guess I'll never b3e able to share my city... :(
-
I'll be switching web site hosts in the next few weeks. This will let me increase the maximum allowed file size as I'm close to running out of room at the moment.
-
Does that mean that these posts will go away? It would seem like. NO!!!!!!!!! :'(
-
Sometimes SimCity 4 may hang if you have large cities :(
-
Does that mean that these posts will go away? It would seem like. NO!!!!!!!!! :'(
No worries... I will also be moving the forum and all messages. Unless you're really paying attention you won't even notice the switch.
-
Will it be a different website?
-
But what happens to the city if an asteroid will collide with Earth?
-
What are you talking about? ???
-
Big cities may require more RAM. because Simcity 4 may hang
-
Hang? What?
-
OK, I am not a stupid person, and even I have no clue what you are trying to say. I get the RAM part, but "hang"?
-
OK, I am not a stupid person, and even I have no clue what you are trying to say. I get the RAM part, but "hang"?
Same here.
-
Is he trying to say it freezes?
-
Or lags?
-
A lag is a cause of slowing down a computer. or a hang?
-
Really a hang is a freezing of a software like Simcity 4 or the computer.
-
By hang he just means it will run slow, freeze or crash I think. And that it often happens because the computer needs more RAM.
But perhaps we should discuss SimCity some more instead. :)
Eeehhh... What are your largest cities called? How many inhabitants do they have? ;D
My record is "Ul Torv" with about 1.3 million inhabitants, but it was in 2005 where I later lost my data... Which has happened twice. But now it's running on my laptop where Noxium is the largest city, with a little more than 70,000 inhabitants. :P
-
Mine was almost 1 billion population in 2007.
Until I also lost data of it :P
-
You mean the region?
-
Hopefully the region, though I also find that highly unlikely, a billion is 1,000 million in American (1,000,000 million in British).
There aren't even 100 tiles are there? and I only think you can get 1M+ on the largest tiles...
So Naru, are you sure you don't mean a million? :P
-
Yeah. :P Thanks Bla... lol
-
The differences of 2 programs made by Maxis.
SimMars is a program where you can build large cities on Mars. not Earth.
SimCity 4 is a program. you can build cities in Earth. not Mars.
-
We're not talking about the diffences of programs made by Maxxis. But, whever. (Wh(at)ever)
-
Ok we didn't ask.
-
Didn't ask what and to hwo?
-
If we are living on Mars. we have SimMars ;D
-
If we are living on Earth. We have SimCity ;D
That are all products that is suitable for your planet.

If random facts that are not necessarily useable are posted, let's just go on with the discussion instead of saying anything, I guess Dan will do what has to be done. :)
Btw, NeutronStar and hbmp88, what are your largest cities in SimCity?
-
FTW, It would be cool if they announced Sim City 5...
Good times...
-
I don't have SimCity... I just have Sims 2 and Spore (related games, although I don't know much how Spore is, other than It was made by EA like Sims).
-
Yes, SimCity 4 is old and we need something new, and that's not something like "SimCity Societies", which is more like a "SimTown" filled with micromanagement to the level where it's unneeded. I don't want every citizens' mood, feelings and everything thrown at me every second.
SimCity 4 was much better, you could build a large city, and if the city wasn't something for the citizens, they would just run away instead of staying, making crime and so on. :P
Lol. :P
But do you agree...?
-
Why NeutronStar does not have SimCity?
-
I don't have SimCity... I just have Sims 2 and Spore (related games, although I don't know much how Spore is, other than It was made by EA like Sims).
Civilization stag of spore is somewhat like simcity. You have industry, residential, and entertainment.
-
good point...
-
Why NeutronStar does not have SimCity?
Duhhhh... I didn't buy it? Why do you think I don't have it? Why do you have to ask that? That makes no sense!!!!! Ok, I don't have it because I slipped on a pickle that flew through the ceiling.
-
Simcity 4 is my favorite game.
-
The Petaflop game is mine ;D
-
why neutron star has that petaflop game?
-
That's an even stupider question. I have the game because i ate the chicken wing in the bubble wrap.
-
LOL. ;D
-
What is that game?
-
I have the game, World Wind, because I ate a cow to let NASA let me have it.
-
What is that game?
Hrmm... It's not real, but a petaflop has something to do with computers.
I have the game, World Wind, because I ate a cow to let NASA let me have it.

Really a supercomputer game

Btw, NeutronStar and hbmp88, what are your largest cities in SimCity?
Sorry I didn't answer sooner. My largest city was the one I tried to post. It has nearly 100,000 people, not counting industry or commerce. Since I was simulating what it would look like if the amazon was populated, I did the honors of naming it the exotic name, Benladia. Not very Hispanic though. Sounds more Middle Eastern. ;D
It only has high tech industry, the largest airport possible, a huge block-full sky scrapper apartment with over 12000 people(I think), and my region, not even half filled, has over 600,000 (people). :o
-
Nice. :)
Omg why does this kind of dèjá vu happen so often to me... I don't like it, it's scary.
Have you ever tried making a "war" in SimCity? ;D
By using comets as artillery, and driving around with tanks and so on. It's funny. ;D
-
I DON'T HAVE TANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TANKS... :'(
-
What is Deja vu. is that french
-
Are you dutch since you live in the Philippines or are you Philippino?( how to spell)

what is your nationality

Nice. :)

-
American
-
Really a post of Bla. at number 6.
-
Anyone notice this is post 95?
-
Yeah, and what about it? ???
-
Dèjá vu means you get a strange feeling of something happening that has happened before...
Hbmp88, you can get tanks if you have the Rush Hour expansion and build a barracks.
-
Is that really rare?
-
What is rare, monmafori?? If you were talking about the expansion the answer is: you have to buy it!
However i think that my biggest city (not joint with other cities) reaches about 500'000 inhabitants, but i'm not so sure about it...
EDIT: I'm Italian...
-
Oh I have had tanks before, I thought it was an option in U-Drive-It mode. But people hate the military base. They always riot. If you want a big city, don't go for those "last minute save me from debt" type buildings. Take out a loan, build something profitable, and let it be paid off by time.
-

I know what it was but what was the deja vu you had? I have them in this weird form, I see a picture in a dream, a few days later, I see that EXACT thing... odd... PRECOGNITION! Ooooooh... Scary...
-
what is your nationality
Just wanted to ask because it seems you don't speak English as you first language. Just answer the question already because I'm still waiting...
-
Bla you must edit that page!
-
What page?
Btw yes, NeutronStar, that's also happening to me, however mostly where two very very similar things happen IRL. Often when I write something and write something again, feeling like I've been asked exactly the same thing before and am going to answer exactly the same. ???
It's strange.
But yes, I also don't build things like the toxic waste area or things the citizens don't like, but I really like the military and just need to have a military base in my cities. :P
-
Reply #87.
-
There's no need to edit it. If you want an explanation on what dèjá vu is, look on Wikipedia or search on Google.
I also think I explained it in a later post, anyways, I don't see what I should edit, but if there is anything you want edited in it you need to tell me what it is.
-
Bla were you talking to me? If so, I know what it is, and you answered me fine in your post before the one before me. Errr... Post 104?
-
Bla were you talking to me? If so, I know what it is, and you answered me fine in your post before the one before me. Errr... Post 104?

ok.

-
This is reply #111.
-
Ok. I'm trying to explain as better as i can what a Deja vu is:
It's a strange feeling: You say that you had a Deja vu when you think that you already sow the same exact situation you are living in that moment. For example when you feel that you already sow a certain beach or heard a certain conversation. It is a short sensation (a few seconds) but it is quite impressive. It happens quite often (at least to me) like every 2 or 3 weeks, maybe 2 times in 5 days, or maybe just 3 times a year; it depends. I hope that now it is clear :)
-
Ok. Larger cities need file size to be increased.
-
That's obvious monmarfori
-
Region size can be small, medium and large. Small is recommended by computers with 256 RAM. Medium requires a computer with 512 MB of RAM. and Large needs 768 MB of RAM.
-
An idea is to build higher structures. and some more landmarks without an addon.
-
Do you even have this game? You have no clue how hard it is to maintain skyscrapers. Nobody wants to live in a high density area. And you'd have to spend like $200,000 on transportation like subways, freeways, avenues. Way to expensive when the people won't even stay in the building. It's not like you build it yourself you just sell the land and your city is in the hands of the landlords, and all you can do is zone land for special purposed and feed money into the dept.s.
-
I like that "guy" from youtube some other stuff. Like roads, highways, etc...
-
I guess the Simcity 4 Deluxe is 256 MB of ram. the requirement.
-
I often get problems with the traffic pollution. Traffic is my weak point. Usually I make rails, then bus stops and metro, but it doesn't help much. In the end I need to upgrade the boulevards to highways, and sometimes completely change my road structure, but I got a new tactic some time ago when I looked at the real maps of my own city:

Then the main stream of traffic doesn't use the small roads to get through the city, but instead the highways and boulevards. :)
It's very effective, but hard to change if you build tall buildings so the small roads get too much traffic.
I hate building like that. I always build roads radiating off other roads, and that seems to help. I also upgrade it.
-

You also live in USA, where the roads are usually built that way. :)
But the strategy is very effective. Even though I wouldn't use it in the middle of my region/city, it looks unrealistic if the center of a big city has that kind of roads I think... It also requires open spaces between some of the areas sometimes.

I make a grid of roads, and I drift away from the grid style sometimes, but your style is interesting, and I'll try it.
I cheat in the game by hacking the money code and changing the amount of money, but don't say anything about that. It doesn't destroy the game, and how would the company know?

How do you make roads have those angles? In my game they can only be north-south or east-west.
-
Can you get to www.simtropolis.com (http://www.simtropolis.com)? or does it try to redirect to a simtropolis.dk? It's there. Search NAM on ST Exchange and you'll find it. Oh and an account is needed to download it.

A mod I guess, then. Thanks. I don't think I can play SimCity 4 on this computer though. :P

Too fast or too slow?

It's certainly not too slow, but it's Windows 7 64-bit. I don't think SimCity 4 likes 64-bit, but it works fine on my Vista 32-bit laptop.

SimCity sort of works on my computer now... Even though the graphics are glitchy and it has crashed once. I might build something...
-
Try changing graphics from either software or hardware rendering to vice versa.
-
Naxda so far... It features a strong public sector with water access for everyone, free healthcare, police, fire department and education covering most of the city, buses and three passenger and freight stations (one in the city, two at industry areas). The city station also has a bus stop and a state owned parking lot.
And yes, the budget is fine! :P
As I hate dirty industry, I made the water so I could get manufactoring. I increased the taxes on dirty industry to scare them away, and got some manufacturing, but no matter how low I set the taxes they wouldn't build anything, and there weren't jobs enough for everyone. So I can't make a clean environment yet, and the water is also somewhat polluted near the industry. :/

I use a principle from someone's city journal...

I know it's okay that I hotlinked those because he uses his site to hotlink all over teh place.
My budgets are always fine because I rarely spend much or have many services in a small town where services would bog down the cash and growth.
-
Naxda so far... It features a strong public sector with water access for everyone, free healthcare, police, fire department and education covering most of the city, buses and three passenger and freight stations (one in the city, two at industry areas). The city station also has a bus stop and a state owned parking lot.
And yes, the budget is fine! :P
As I hate dirty industry, I made the water so I could get manufactoring. I increased the taxes on dirty industry to scare them away, and got some manufacturing, but no matter how low I set the taxes they wouldn't build anything, and there weren't jobs enough for everyone. So I can't make a clean environment yet, and the water is also somewhat polluted near the industry. :/
I don't even have industry. I don't care about it.
-
-snipped wall of text-
I don't even have industry. I don't care about it.
I don't even have residential. I don't care about it.
-
How do you get work for your citizens if you don't have industry? ???
And nice guide Darvince.
I really hate the big §§§ houses. They're so ugly, convert small plots into huge ones and never seem to turn into tall buildings.
Darvince, do you just find your mods on the official site? Which ones do you use?
And thanks for the hardware/software render help, it works perfectly now with software render.
-
Isn't the key to make a bunch of residential so that you don't have to make all the services suffer with less funding?
-
Yes, but then you also have to cover those under your services, at least that's my way of playing it. I try to give the citizens as many services as possible and increase taxes until I can fund them. It's hard, especially in the start, but also an exciting way of playing I think.

Simtropolis (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/)
It's by far not the official file exchange, but it lets you put a description of the file, and it lists dependencies so I don't have to experiment to make the mod work by installing one hundred thousand others mods and testing each one.
Also I use one mod that is considered an essential by the forumers of there, and several others.
One cosmetic mod that I would recommend is a simple mod, and doesn't bog down your CPUs or anything like that, since all it changes is street-ends.

I did check the Plugins. It doesn't have it.

When you delete them do they cost §1 to delete or §2?
Also the I'm atomic! text was better IMO.
-
In Doene, which is the central tile, when I go into it, the demand for everything is really high. There's 7 of 8 possible cities surrounding it, so I think that might be why.
-
The overpasses don't work! :( Do they work in your game, Darvince?
Hmm. I think this might be because I selected English as the language, and then it just assumed that I wanted left hand drive as well. >:(
Edit: It works now, the left hand driving caused the bug. If anyone else gets/has this problem, try this guide: Link (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=3961.0)
If you don't want to register to read it, I can copy the message in a PM.
Edit 2: I can't figure out how to make roundabouts, can anyone explain that? If I place four curved roads they won't interact with any other roads.
Edit 3: Aha, you just drag a one way road into a 3x3 square, then the NAM converts it into a roundabout automatically. And I read some 2x2 roundabouts should be included with NAM...

Unnecessary post was changed.

Any suggestions about what should be built in the fully terraformed Naxda region (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SS9N9hh_hw)? :)
-
The NAM comes with North American-esque capacities for streets, roads etc. so I barely have any roads in my cities because of it. :P
-
Naxda has grown, the image of the city is a little bit old, and the region slightly older. The region (and city) has about 17.000 inhabitants now.
-
Bump. I found something you can't resist if you play SimCity 4.
A regional terraforming program! (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/21375-sc4-terraformer/)
It's very well made, has all the tools, 3D view of the region. It also lets you create a region of any size. Standard regions are 16 times 16 small cities. However, it only makes small cities in the regions.
It's better to edit a config.bmp, so you can make cities the size you want them to be (in them, red are small, green medium and blue large cities, and the resolution (standard 16x16 pixels) determines the size of the region). Remember to make them correctly though!
I made a 32x32 region, if you want it, you can download the config.bmp below. Make an empty region and replace the config.bmp generated in the region folder, then it'll be about four times larger and have different city sizes.
Other nice mods:
Stop the evil mansions (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/23125-stop-maxis-mansions-from-growing/)
-
I like making the whole region large city tiles. It just makes it easier to deal with.
-
True, even though it's also good to have many cities to connect it to. I think this could be a good plan rather than making all of them large squares, then every city has 6 instead of 4 neighboring cities:
-
For me, 8 cities to connect it to is enough. :3
-
Can you connect to cities you only share tiles with diagonally? :o
-
They give you demand, but otherwise, no.
-
Sim City 4 !!
Whaaaa ??
I have got SimCity 3000 on my old PC - WITH the Building Architect add-on.
You cain't get SimCity 3000 no more
Aand the Building Architect was an add-on, which you cannot Download no more
You can only Run SimCity3000 on Windows '98 or '95 - so that is why it is on my Old P.C., running in Windows '98.
I also have all of the Cheat Codes for that as well.
Lets you build Everything for Free, all types of Powerplants, all types of Waste Disposal, all types of Water Plants.

SimCity 2013 comes out in 2 days.

I think it might be Origin only, so I'm not getting it. If EA for some reason releases it on Steam, then I might consider buying it.

you require a constant internet connection to play though. I'm sure they've thought of a marvellous way to detect if a game's connection is the same as another.
-
like Spore or sumthing
-
Well, Spore didn't demand a constant connection; Spore needed a connection for content but otherwise you could play normally offline. Simcity, on the other hand, will absolutely need you to stay connected to their servers in order to play whatsoever.

What, you can't play offline?
Don't tell me this game is going to be just online...
-
Not sure if I'm going to buy it. It seems so over-hyped in their propaganda videos ofc, but I'm not impressed, the cities just seem too small compared to SimCity 4, the regions layout I don't like, the cities should be next to each other and with no enforced limit on region size like SimCity 4 so you can make something like a "true" megacity instead of just a bunch of skyscrapers with maybe 200,000 people but surrounded by farms. And I hate Origin. I hate Impulse. But only because I happen to have most games on Steam. I hate all these stupid, different game platforms trying to compete and forcing us to have 100 programs running in the background all with the exact same purpose, just made by competing corporations, just because we want to play games.

F*CKING KAPITALISMUS!
-
Origin is an attempt to butt into the success Steam is getting, I'm sure.
Steam is going a grand job imo even though I don't use it much and we don't need anyone else to try and change what they're doing. Anyway, EA doesn't need any more crackpot money making schemes, they have more than enough!
-
kol bla. i only run steam when i need to, otherwise it's off.

It will probably be set up like Minecraft (log in at startup) but since it's constantly online (you can play sp minecraft in offline mode), you won't be able to be play any of it without an Origin copy.

Grrrrrrr, SimCity, is this you? Are you there? Hello?
Let's Play SimCity 2013 - Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Yiy2jZYJmo#ws)
I can't recognize it. How could they ruin the regions like this? The city squares look so small. :(
-
But it's the most simulated SimCity yet... there's garbage trucks that actually go around to each building and pick up the trash... switch to the trash view and watch the number of bags of trash for each building drop as the truck stops. I think it's really great (despite the always on DRM and small city size).
-
I think it's really great (despite the always on DRM and small city size).

I don't mind the always on DRM and the small city sizes. I would actually buy it if it was on Steam and hte regions could be bigger and cities actually next to each other.
-

This is probably my main reason for not buying it as well. City development/expansion just seems too ristricted in this version.
I don't care if the simulation is extremely accurate. It doesn't matter if all the sims in an apartment building are reading newspapers with actual text and drink coffee. I want to build a billion apartments, whether they have coffee or not.

Ren & Stimpy Mr. Horse - No Sir I Didn't Like It (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JNuqEz_GCQ#)
Looking at the region picking bit, it looks like a web based game. Seems a lot like two steps forward, one step back with this game; deeper simulation at the cost of scale
-

Agreed, maybe I would say one step forward and two back or something. It seems a bit like the same mistake as with SimCity Societies. Then it was just the micromanaging which was ridiculous. The scale also was as far as I can remember, but the micromanagement ensured you would never reach that size anyway.
I just don't see how skyscrapers can ever fit into those city tiles... The cities are going to be taller than they are wide. :l
-
this is because EA is the hugest douchebag since oil companies
-
As I'm seeing it, Simcity 5 was a bigger dissapointment than I would have ever anticipated. The city sizes are too unrealistic, and so is the population. (Like who would find skyscrapers in a city with 10,000 people? Wouldn't you find that in a larger populated town?)
And the texturing is a bit comical. I would like this as a legitimate simulator, not something with slightly unrealistic gameplay.
I guess I might not be buying this game.
-
(Like who would find skyscrapers in a city with 10,000 people? Wouldn't you find that in a larger populated town?)
That was in SC4 as well. In SC4 the skyscraper growth would start at 21k population and with high R demand you could get them with very low population.
-
I think what EA is forcing is a co-operative game play style. Smaller plots means you'll have less space to become totally self self-sufficient and independent. No to mention if you pack out to the edges the cities are going to have un-natural, completely square footprints.

True, but in SC4 at least you could develop cities to sizes where the skyscrapers would actually look realistic. In the new SC the cities will always be too small/isolated for skyscrapers to look natural.
Agree with Tuto. Another thing I noticed was that the guy who made the video I linked to had a city with 10k inhabitants, but a bit later it said it had 500 residential buildings. They were all small houses. That's 20 inhabitants pr. house. In SC4 the inhabitants in houses were also inflated in a similar way.

Yes, another thing which seems ridiculous. A region with random squares of cities scattered around it. It is really terrible that there is no way to make cities look connected in any way other than the premade highways and rails. I guess all the regions are also completely premade and uneditable? That would leave out the entire "god mode" part of SC4 where you could make your own regions.
-
I'm getting back into SC4 now. Spent about 2 hours today just downloading buildings :P
-
I still have SimCity 3000 on my Old PC - Running in Win '98.
It still works - and I have the Downloaded Architect Pack, to design your own Buildings.
They have to be put in, to replace existing Buildings.
I have ALL of the Cheats - gives you Everything without having to wait for different time periods.
Also - do Everything for Free, and get some free Dosh ( only once though ).
All you have to pay for is the Wages of City Employees.
I love that Game - but since I got my new PC I hardly ever use te old PC.
I do not have spare Monitor.
Also - Simcity 3000, Populous Undiscovered Worlds, and lots of other Games - onlt run on Windows '98, and loads of them you just cannot get anymore. But I have them still.
I also like playing Doom and Doom 2 - I have all the Cheats including Invulnerability.

how big is the region? in terms of large cities x large cities
-
and is it a custom map or default?
-
It's 10x10 small cities so 2.5x2.5 large cities but it's not configured in a grid, it has all city types and only one large city (Kollegrad).
I made the region, I think with an external editor for making the landscape.
-
cute.

16 x 16 large cities map i just finished today

Apparently you can make a region from a greyscale heightmap in SC4. I haven't got it to work yet though.
http://www.sc4ever.com/knowledge/showarticle.cfm?id=1103
You need to make sure it's greyscale (GIMP can do that) and SC4 will say if the dimensions are right if it's greyscale and gets recognized.

You utter shitposeuero, you think you can simply `post after `post in my topic and get away with it??? Think again, you buckaroos, you vaqueros, you cowboys. Your boys will not see the light of day after I'm done with them in 28 units of time. The units of time you can see, are not able to be seen, because they are invisible and not visible. The invisibility of them means they can hit you in the face at an utmost rapidity, utmost of untire shitpose which will be killed from you. You cannot see anything beyond your own nose, expecially in this untopic. Now leave, before shanta McGooglespits finds you and inflates your legss so you cannot walk?!?!??!??! After this, you will be unable to walk. You will be lame. Lame after lame is your future, now shoe.
