I would like to be able to ZONE not plop buildings inside the new boundaries...and the pollution offset needs to be revisited... that's 2 reasons I won't use it... I would love a sprawling metropolis filled to the brim with sprawling mansions casinos lol

You can :) just connect a regional road to a regular road and then you can zone.

By graphics, I mean resolution, you know, like 1024 x 768, etc...

Oh :) I use 1920x1208 or something like that. The largest one available.

Tried adding a regional to a reg road didn't work.

I don't know then :) it didn't work for me either when I last tried it.

 

 

Those are some real cities for sure.. after 1.5 years.. NO MORE STATIC BOX DESIGNS omg cities are no longer all looking the same

 

WOOT WOOT

Yep :)

try starting on a new city and draw a regioanl road from main starting road out of normall box, then use a zoning tool and hold ctrl on keyboard to zone whole road, this is the only way im able to zone outside with 3kmod, and mouse pointer has to be inside original box to work but will zone the whole road outside of box two, only ugly thing is joining roads outside as zones will overlap on top of road

There are a few mods that increase the number of megatowers you can build in a city. I really want to see an Orion city with all those megatowers ;)


"If you try to please everybody, you often times end up pleasing nobody, especially yourself. When somebody offers to do a favor for free, like making a mod for SimCity 4, you shouldn't be overly critical of something generously given to you. In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." - Twilight Sparkle after playing SimCity

"Being a mayor or a content creator for SimCity 4 is a heavy responsibility, Patrick. Each city and each custom content is like a child, and must be treated as such." - SpongeBob Squarepants after playing SimCity

"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible." - Frank Zappa

"The wisest men follow their own direction." - Euripides

Welcome to Fairview, my new city journal *:D

    That'd be nice :) maybe I could do it.

    I'm currently working on a historic city with Haussmann-era buildings complete with a "New Quarter" full of skyscrapers and modern buildings, anyone interested?

    I have been working on this one for a while. This was mostly done with BOC but I have put some final touches using Orion. Soon as I get time I wanna re-do this region using UDoN roads.

    Here's mine. It's made up of ploppable RCI only so not to have trouble with leftovers from evolving to higher wealth.

    You are definitely onto something chappers. Those pictures remind me of Cities XL.

    Dear sir/madam/whoever will read this!

    This profile is now defunct.

    Computer problems and issues with accessing my Imageshack account meant My SC4 CJ Scrapbook was lost and utterly irretrievable. This setback put me off SC4 for many months.

    Apologies for the inconvenience and for the lost pictures.

    But that SC4 itch did not go away and it had to be scratched! I have started afresh with a new account here- The British Sausage

    The URS is a spiritual successor to the SC4 CJ Scrapbook.

    With this update this will be the last time I visit my original Simtropolis account- admin/mods feel free to remove it or do whatever you need to do. I have no further use for the Ln X (BLANKBLANK) account.

     

    With regards, Miles Saunders-Priem aka. Ln X aka. The British Sausage

    wow.. didn't realize people didn't know about Yuttho's youtube showcases.

     

    Ok Yuttho is part of Devtest and he is one of the people whom we have kind of modeled a lot of the mods to fill as far as artistic expression.

     

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=xVrJHQ6UjCw

     

    Think that's right, the new episode uses offline mode, Orion, Tree Anywhere, Parks, UDoN's list goes ON and ON.. almost every mod is used in this game.

     

    Its one of the single most well presented use of nearly everything SimCity 2013 can do even since before most changes were possible.

     

    Enjoy

    Quick question, chappers: Did you use any of the natural resources in the cities, or were they working?


    One more thing, chappers: Can you provide some ground views in your city(ies)?
