    Welcome to part two! In this video, I finally get to zoning (while running into a few minor, frustrating problems) and plopping.

    Be sure to turn up the volume for this video due to my quiet commentary throughout :D and enjoy!

    Sorry to say, but that is incorrect :) it appears that I had downloaded a mod that was not compatible with the Extended Data Rollover Mod. I have removed said mod.

    Yeah :) never thought I would struggle this much when it comes to playing the game I have, in my opinion, mastered.

    I've got a commercial/casino city foing at the moment. I have my towers 3 on each side, provides workers... entertainment venues and such... I'm pulling in 600k between the sleek casino and gaming house .. that's with all mass transit... sky bridges between towers and minimal redlining (traffic congestion). This is my second attempt at this the first time I was pulling in 1.2m a day...(note i havw one small square for drones and industrual, apart from that its all commercial and entertainment)In a more recent city I had a 'round city) and my casino's flatlined.. I couldn't get out of the red.

    Lol no that was on a different region... the money m making from this one city is paying for all the imports needed to build the international airport... hence no messy refineries or ground pollution.. my only problem is I can't seem to get high wealth at present... must be something I've missed.
