My thoughts on Game

[mgomrjsurf 16]

Can't Zoom in.

Need Auto Cash Cheat so don't go in Debit.

Can't name anything.

Can't connected to a Highway.

When exited back to main menu to try on different piece of land Game Frozed up when loading.

Well, I couldn't rename anything either until I looked at the instructions again and realized I'd glossed over the part that says type the name then hit the "enter" key. Amazingly enough, renaming worked when I did that.

 

As for connecting to highways, building roads takes time and practice and if you're playing default you may not have the on-ramp for connecting to a highway but you can use any old road piece for that.

 

There are a couple of "cheats" in the mod menu that you can use if you're having trouble managing finances. I'm currently using the one that's the unlock, not the unlimited money, because since it unlocks everything it gives a good amount of starting money so I can goof off and build infrastructure and take a while to become profitable. If you play the default method it's a matter of learning to build very tightly in the beginning (as in everything as close as possible to save money on infrastructure) and for goodness sake, use wind power, not the coal plant--you can save a bundle. Then you have to budget and make the tough decisions like not always giving in to the demands of your citizens.

 

As for the technical problems, I don't know, maybe your system isn't up to the game.

I know about Unlocking everything and I just need more Money in the Bank so I can Build a Highway to connect to or so on that cost lots of money.

I want to be able to name my Towns also.

Also Build on whole Map not just an area.

Use district tools to name towns within the city.  You can build your city slowly to earn money or just get the mod off of Steam workshop that gives you unlimited money.  You can also get the mod that unlocks all the tiles for you.  Make sure your computer can handle all of that.

 

Enjoy!

The thing is, with that unlocking cheat is that since it unlocks everything it also unlocks over 600,000 monies that are tied to achievements.

 

Or alternatively, like BlitzPackage said, you can download a mod.

Do you need to Download the District Tool because Sim City 2013 doesn't have a naming Tool?

Abanded Buildings should be demolished when place replacing it takes over.

Their shouldn't be City Limits becuase I could take like Plant City Map build on whole Map.

Subdivisions or building Homes out in the Country.

Medium Zoning? When Building a Road under a Bridge ask if want to put Off and On Ramps.

District tool is included in the game; its the icon that looks like a white folder.

 

If you want total control before you start building you may need to use the unlock all assets mod and the unlimited money tools.  I'm not sure if there's a way to unlock all 25 city tiles right at the start but I haven't looked.

 

With these 3 "on" and the district tool you should be able to do a whole city plan beforehand.

 

Medium zoning doesn't exist - you use the district tool and then set a "highrise ban" policy on the district - however it may not stop tall buildings from forming, just stops tall buildings from reaching level 5 which is kind of not right in my opinion.  The district tool also lets you name an area like a subdivision.

Iv'e tryed Districts and gone over like a Road and does not ask me if I want to upgrade it,Name it or so on but only add a District. Also in District where Signs should go to place like Exit and so on.

Another problem I'm running into is Water/Power but sometime it says Land is already filled so Home or so on has to stay empty. Same with some Highway Roads not Connected to a Road but are,

Also on side of a Highway Road you should be able to put things.

How do purchase Land that becomes available?

I would suggest you watch some Lets Play videos. These should answer your many questions of what can and cant be done as well as give you tips.

I personally like quill18 and skye but there are many others

Also, download the user manual.  It explains everything and is not too long.

[mgomrjsurf 16]

Thanks I figured it out.

It seems to me that before whining about the game you probably should learn to play it...

[mgomrjsurf 16]

I know how to play it and giving my Opinions of Game.

[London-b 90]

Is this real life?

Nothing wrong with asking questions.  Of course the op did at first appear to be giving an opinion based on unclear points.  However, it's all good now.  Perhaps the op is clear now and is moving forward.
