Pergo: The Vero Center is currently underway in the Auckland Landmarks thread. It is nearly done, only the lot is needed.

[Dargor 17]

I was wondering if a mod could be made to make whales disappear... sounds strange, I know... but they also appear in my rivers. And the more I think about that, the more strange it is. I like to have realism, and those huge fishes don't belong in there.

 

I think most of us can do without whales in the game anyway, and they are too small in open sea... just an idea.

@ stamp
Who do you mean? What can you do?

[stamp 4]

oh, i meant the strretlights

i happened to come across it when i was exporting the roads into a dat.

unfortuanetly, im having trouble with it.. nothing can open the exported FSH file. Grr. Probably Because Its Partly Translucent or something. So, I may NOT be able to do it, but if it works, yay!

[akeela 5]

I hope that it will work.

I'd like a mod where people are willing to walk about to a commercial area about a mile away to take the subway. Thanks!

[d2f 4]

EL-rail station, 1x3 tiles only, with far more capacity than the default station. Mine's were consistently used over capacity at some 500% (of a default cap of 2000) and upwards.

[thpwrthtbe 1]

How about a mod limiting the repetiton of buildings.   mainly for commercial.  similar to go away wren i know, but for all buildings.  so that no CO$$ CO$$$ building could appear more than say.... twice, at any given time.   ?

Could someone make a riot mod? So you choose a riot in the disaster menu and then you can start a riot anywhere you want to and anytime you want to! That would be awesome!

Well, thanks for answering! It actually doesn't have to be a disaster. I just want the possibility to start a riot anytime, anywhere.

I was Thinking the same thing...in all my time playing I have never had to contend with a riot...No matter how nasty a mayor I become!

my idea is a civil disorder lot- a modded lot that when plopped zeroes out your mayor rating in that area. When you've had enough crowd control, simply demolish the lot, and the effect dissapears.I would imagine it might take some time for the rating to fully recover, but so be it!

Is this a possibillity?

[edgartamch 1]

I wanna know if there would be a mod to allow airport(s)' effects to be spread to the whole region, not just within a city.

I think so. Parks increase mayor rating, so I think it would be also possible to decrease it. And within the radius, riots will appear, I think.

[simsbaby 4]

can someone make a ford ka

[timotheus4 39]

How about a mod that would increase the likelyhood of riots to happen? They are pretty rare, I spent half an hour making the worst city possible, no riots!

[Bryce Genesis 0]

Here's an Idea, a new zone type that instead of landfills or commercial or something, it spawns Wind Power plants. I have often heard of fields of these things, and trying to duplicate it in SimCity 4 is very time consuming.

[Fairlane500 8]

Okay, I'll post my idea here.

 

Since ultra-long rail bridges are unrealistic, I was wondering if it was possible to create a railroad ferry that could transport either passengers, freight, or both across in the same fashion as a car ferry. There is an image of one here:

 

Also, I was wondering whether a floating bridge, like the one across Lake Washington near Seattle could be built?

 

Any response would be greatly appreciated.

[Speedy 0]

Yes, it could be a nice addition to the game, but it's nothing we really need. I would for instans really love to see some trams in the game, so i'll just give my best wishes to the light rail modding guys!!! They are doing a great job!!!

[addax61024 6]

This isn't so much a request as an idea. There's a thread in this forum about manipulating menu's to cope with the ever increasing number of lots we all have... The park menu is the one that suffers most.

However, instead of the idea for seperate menus for parks/plazas/whatever, how about just adding a slider to the menu. See I know that for example the CSX forest park is about 3/4 ofthe way down, the small parks are at the top, the csx farm lots are at the very bottom etc, and it just seems a bit of an obvious way to get round the huge waiting times to scroll up and down big menus. I can't believe maxis never thought of this, because they knew we'd all have more buildings when the lot editor (and subsequently BAT) came out.

What do you think? Is it possible?

[andreharv 1,197]

Hey Fairlane500. As for the train ferries, I was rummaging through some Japanese bats and I ran up on a bus/car/peds/train ferry. Its kinda big and the link is broken but if you are still interested, maybe I could get it to you through email or sth cuz I have it on my comp. Here's a pic.




Better yet, I will attatch it when I get home.

[Fairlane500 8]

Looks awesome, and I would expect anything that would had all those would be a large facility. I'll look forward to seeing it attached.

[Chris M 406]

how about a mod that allows you to select tunnels in the bridge selection so you dont have to go through all the trouble of making a mountain and doing all that junk.

[qurlix 20]

Since most of you haven't recieved replies, I'll try to address all the suggestions on this page.

Requests
-Whales Dissappearing - Probably Impossible, most effects are exe controlled

-Walking to subway - Possible, But unfortunately would mess up the whole transport system

-El Rail Station Capacity - Possible, Very simple - though isn't that sort of cheap?

-Building repetition - Very Difficult, This is controlled mainly by exe

-Civil Disorder Lot - Possible, but yes it would recover quickly

-Regional Airports - Probably Impossible, don't know how this could be done

-Riot Probability - Possible, somewhere this could be multiplied

-New Zone - Extremely Difficult, New Zones have always been a great goal of modders, but very little has been gained

-Rail Ferry - Possible (obviously), these lots should be functional. It would be pretty simple to make a ferry lot switch any type of transport (even monorail or el-rail)

-Floating Bridge - Very Difficult, New types of bridges can be made, but they require lots of work.

-Slider bars - Probably Impossible, We might be able to make buttons that skip you downwards by making 'lot' buttons that call some function

-Tunnel Selection - Probably Impossible, The tunnel system is hard-coded into the exe


Hope that helps.

So many ideas...I wish they all could be possible (and done right now!)

[edgartamch 1]

Can anyone mod the train to sub transit's capacity back down to the regular ones, like around 2000, not 20000?

[ron01_000_000 1]

( Please forgive me if these have been done before -

I am looking for a 1x2 or 2x2 version of these )

 

Also if it is possible to add all of these into a 'pack' of plopables

( for a simcity fast food row )

 

These Restaurants would be modded as follows:

1x2 or 2x2 Lot

20 CS$ / 3 CO$$ Jobs

$200 month income (in buisness deals menu ?)

Require Water / Electricity

[timotheus4 39]

I have been working on the riots myself. I found the exemplar and the LUA, and will be trying to work things on them.

But here's one that I don't want to do because I don't want to reinstall SimCity 4. I really liked the pre patch Yates Insurance, you know, the bright blue one? Would it be possible to change it back? Also, for the first time since getting RH I got a Barthelet Building, and that is pastel yellow instead of the gold it used to be. If possible I would like thsoe changed back.

I'm sorry if this has been requested or done already, but I haven't seen it.

A data view that shows the density (in jobs/citizens) in all the different wealths and types of jobs, on a city map. That way it would be easier to place schools and hospitals, and things like that. And it would be fun to see where everything is concentrated at.
