The Start of the beginning

Well this is my first try at making Sim City an adventure more then just a game.  In doing so I need some ideas and improvements that will help me in making a great city.  Thanks for your help.

The must have mod is the NAM (Network Add-on Mod).

A rock and/or a water mod will make it look great.

Dude, call me sometime tomorrow(after I get off work 6 pm-ish) and I'll get you set up with a CJ.

[bbfan02 23]

And also, view other cj's and see what they do. You can really get some good stuff from them.

Look forward to seeing your progress mate.

Thanks everybody and big z

So I have been thinking over some of the things I would like to see.

1. A modern transit

2. Cities that work well with each other

3. Start building my own buildings, maps, etc.

1.  If you want some more bus stop, subway, etc options, just search the STEX by typing whatever you're looking for in the search window.  It will give you a lot of lots, depending on what you're searching.

2.  When you want separate your zones you will need to plop them in different city tiles.  For example, if you want a city where you have low pollution, just plop down some Residential and Commercial in one city, then save, and go to the another city tile boarding the other city, and plop down some industrial.  That's what I did with my CJ, and I just started building residential in my industrial tile, and it has over 50,000 Ind Jobs.

3.  You'll need the BAT if you want to make your own buildings.  If you want to make your own maps, you'll need the SC4Terraformer.  If you click on the Omnibus Link at the top of the page, you'll be taken to a place where you will find a lot of great tutorials on how to make buildings, maps and it will give you a list of what you need to do it.

Hope that helps!

Hey ,

So i have some pictures for my city but the forum doesn't let me add any pics.  Can any one let me know what im doing wrong.

[The Big Z 103]

You need to use photobucket or another image hosting website. Then you use need to post an image link to them, using BBCode. When you are on Photobucket (I use this one, so I don't know any of the others), there is a list of four ways. Click on the with the img between the ][ (only they're reversed). Anywho, hope that helps Trashman.

You should read THIS thread.  It will help answer your questions, and give you some helpful tips.

Thanks Big Z for the needed info.

[The Big Z 103]

Yay! It worked! I really like the residential you have on the hill. It's pretty realistic. Keep it up!

[Trashmanash 0]

I now started a small lake side city.  So tell me what you think

[bbfan02 23]

I think you did well! I like the flora, and I also like the round-about. Try to get some of those round-about fillers. And also, try to get some more custom commerical content. Looking forward to more.

bbfano2 thanks

your right the roundabouts need some fillers.  I'll see what I can find

[The Big Z 103]

Great job. I'm really liking the residential on the hill with all the pine trees! Keep it up, dude.

[suplado! 23]

Hey everyone thanks for all of the thoughts and replies.  I have been working on a airport and would love some input on making a good one.
So far I will be placing the airplace off the cost and will try to have the water go around it.
