SC4 Agriculture Problem

[Kudos162 0]

Hey guys, i have a problem with creating the countryside of one of my regions. Agriculture can be very important, but when I place agriculture zones, I always get large mills moving in. I need more realistic smaller farm houses and stables instead of mills. Unless I make the zone to small to fit mills, I ALWAYS get them. This might be because my region has a very high industrial demand, which I guess would bring in bigger farms, but I want it to be realistic. Any help?

Thanks.

If you mean those large Pedriana Plants, there's a mod that will block them. Hope this helps...

You can also zone for small farms and then make the fields as big as you want them by plopping lots from this download: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=17233&v=1 (for the custom farms you'll need to download the dependencies.)

One method I do is zone a large agriculture plot.  When the Pedriana Plant shows up, I demolish it (and sometimes a small portion of the field).  This creates a small agriculture plot inside the larger one.  Usually one of the other agriculture buildings will develop within the smaller zone.  It seems to work quite well and produces some interesting farm fields.

I'm sort of having the opposite problem, the ONLY farms I am getting are those teeny tiny "Pumpkin Acres" and nothing else. No other barns or stables or anything like that. At this point I would kill for a Pedriana Plant.

@SockoJr53:Easy.

Give the argicultural zone water and put a park near it.

@CaptCity, that doesn't work with the CAM.
