Nice idea. In fact, excellent idea. However, don't we already have online bulbs whenever someone is on? Those seem big enough for me that I notice them all the time.

lmao... so you want to take the myspace attempt at this eh?

You see those lightbulbs? Those lightbulbs signify if the person is online or offline right now. The lightbulb lit means that person is online, and it being off means they're offline.

Hope this helps.

It was/is my impression that compromise has left simtropolis, and yet, he is the co-head to the SHS. Correct me if I am wrong.

[Mikeaut1 261]

That was a long time ago. Now we have senior editors, who run and make decisions on the SHS's behalf. These senior editors also have Omnibus moderating powers and they are responsible for moving finished articles to the Omnibus.

Hi guys!!! uum.... well I had just recently sold my games soul to more memory and a new hardrive, so I am currently getting every plugin I had back, but I am having a little problem.  I have downloaded some BAT's already and they are just fine............... its just the lights arent working.  I wanted to get a nught picture with my new city, so I turned on the nught mode and all the neiborhoods lit up, but not the BAT"S, I tried everything I posibly could.

Is there some sort of dependancy for the lights to work, cuz I really dont remember, and if not, then how do I get the lights to workd???

On simcity.com, there's a download fix for nightlights... you'll have to get it for the BATs nightlights to work. I think Zelgadis might also have an alternate download on his site's hosting.

thanks Beebs!!!

[beebs 129]

Yup! DVD/CD drive just means that it can play both.

Hi,

I was browsing this beautiful website in search of cities that I could download. I was running out of inspitation for my own region. So I am searching for a region that has already been played to download and continue playing. Do you have an idea?

Thank you very much in advance.

alj

[beebs 129]

Simtropolis doesn't have any cities for download, just because of the plugin requirements. If your missing just 1 plugin, it could completely wreck that city for you. SimCity's official site does, however, offer regions with cities built up in their exchange.

I didn't know where else to post this, but I can't get logged off the site. I logged off, but it still showed me logged in. I cleared cookies, and I'm still logged in even if I log out. Help. I thought there used to be a Simtropolis forum to report site problems, couldn't find it. Thanks for any help.

[Mikeaut1 261]

There was a place to post all site problems, and it's located here.

That's a weird error. What browser are you using? Trying clearing cookies and cache again and see what happens.

[bbfan02 23]

Does anyone know how to download and get those simtropolis buildings into my cities and towns? Do I hav to put them in a specific file or something?

[beebs 129]

Just extract everything in the zip files to your mydocuments/simcity4/plugins/ folder, and you should be good to go! If there's an installer in the zip, just launch it and it should by default send them to that directory.

I am sort of new to the game.  And I am very new to simtropolis.com.  No offense, but this place is confusing.  Sooo many people are actively registered here, I fill overwhelmed and could not find what I wanted in a mod I want.  Im sure its here, I just cannot locate it.  Im guessing this is a good place to ask this question, if not I am already sorry, like I said earlier, these forums are huge and it took me a while to even find this topic.

I want a mod thet only allows $$$ residental to be built.  Meaning if residental is zoned, only $$$ will rise. 

I have the no delapolation mod set for 100 yrs, but due to job placing it still devolves(which is totally #@!$%, I have subway, mono, parking Garage, and bus stop in the areas where "No Job" occurs AND I have commercial and Industrial right beside it

I set tax for $$ and $ to very very high levels, yes it works, but not great.

I have noticed when I already have a major city and some type of connection with it through new city I can get ALL $$$ residental no problem, But Im a perfectionist cheater lol. 

In fact if there is not a mod mabye a trainer could do the trick, but I have to say I havent even looked yet   I will check on that ASAP.  But till then, mabye some nice person here can point me in the right direction.  I know its cheating but I really want to hit 1,000,000 Rich citizens for the first time in my entire SimCity career.
