Post in Thorshavn - Anno 1800
Tamijo posted a post in a topic,
This will be the end of this story. The game was very good fun, and I may start another run with more focus on winning at some point, or get some DLC's (i read they change the gameplay a lot). Anyway the story covers most of the opportunities and continue on a story level would be too repetitive. -

Digging Deep: Line 1 overview
Girafarig posted a City Journal entry in Welcome to Isla Bonita!,
Today we start a new series, dedicated to a thorough analysis of each of the subway lines in Isla Bonita. As it's a long series and some subway lines are still being built, this will be a non-periodic special issue, but expect more in the future.-

Hexagonal Grids
SimNationalist posted a City Journal entry in Paradis Island from Attack on Titan [WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS],
While trying to come up with creative ways to use up the virtually infinite industrial demand, I stumbled upon the hexagonal pattern that felt looked "futuristic" and appropriate for the spaceport I placed on the easternmost tip of the island. That prompted me to ask the question that city planners from nearly a century ago also asked themselves: could hexagonal urban grids work?-

After the First Few Years, It's Really No Different from a Normal City
drocca posted a City Journal entry in Insta-City,
Insta-City grew so fast that any financial issues quickly disappeared; the only concession I had to make over a typical city was to legalize gambling (which only lasted the first four years).-

Terring posted a City Journal entry in Welcome to Fairview,
It's been a year, right? Damn. Time for some updates, I guess. Today we'll have a look at the transportation system of Fairview and the layouts and patterns of our cities. How our cities will look like and how our Sims could go from point A to point B with the minimum carbon and environmental footprint possible? Let's find it out.-

16. Moving further downstream, the village of Gunung Gundul in the Regency of Rancabodas
zahrul3 posted a City Journal entry in The SimNesia Journals (Regency of Medang & Kamulan + Regency of Rancabodas!),
The village of Gunung Gundul is the city tile just west of Citanggung, continuing the downstream path of the Citanggung river. By the way, "Ci" means river in the local language, so basically....ATM Machine! (chuckles)-

Nextown is a "Rising Success"
DGTA_TV posted a City Journal entry in North Carolina on Mac mini,
After taking almost two weeks away from Nextown, Mayor Xavier Calhoun returned to upgrade living conditions, rezone land, and build a casino (of course). By balancing the budget of "Nextown" I was able to view the structure/dynamic of the city. Using techniques learned from "Clifton Peak" I was able to grow Nextown into a more dynamic and efficient city.-

Archive 1
bhmantan posted a City Journal entry in bhmantan's CJ,
Just a quick dump of some pictures that I probably going to turn into a proper CJ entry later in the future... or not.
Also, made these blockers for some of the repetitive or just "too much" sound in the game.
They came in handy for when I want to record videos or just doing livestream.-

South Coast
f3cs posted a City Journal entry in Bellingham Journal,
This is again, some of the contents of my imgur that I thought was not CJable. But thinking it through I thought it was a great story.
Remember again, this images were not put out as something to tell this story, so use your imagination a little bit.
At first it was just land. But the people wanted something to stand out.-

Going downstream - the village of Citanggung in the Regency of Rancabodas
zahrul3 posted a City Journal entry in The SimNesia Journals (Regency of Medang & Kamulan + Regency of Rancabodas!),
Greetings everyone!
Everything from the previous updates have been lost with my old computer, but I figured that I could "continue" this City Journal with the same theme (almost) in new map, as I still had a backup of the plugins folder!-

SC4 Dictionary
simmering posted a file in Reference & Info,
More than 1000 acronyms and technical terms explained.
This is a dictionary of the most common abbreviations, acronyms and technical terms around SimCity 4. It started as my personal notes and since I used the file format of a stand-alone wiki I am sharing it here. I hope it will be useful, particularly to new mayors who try to navigate the SC4 world.
Installation
The file is a zipped HTML file. Unzip it and open it with a browser, with JavaScript enabled.
Suggestions and Corrections
I am sure there is more work to be done. There are aspects of the game that I haven't explored yet and there will likely be things I got wrong. Please share your suggestions and corrections with me in this topic:
Thanks to Cori and Cyclone Boom for your advice and input!
