So uhhhh... ahem! Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Monkey D Luffy. I noticed you're an administrator and visited my profile. This is my first time here and I am honored to meet you on this platform. I am a big fan of tornadoes!

Hiya, Monkey D Luffy.

Yep. The way it worked out is I saw several pending posts (which turned out to be your pics) and since you were a new member they had to be approved by staff before they'd show up. We do that to prevent spammers from just waltzing in the front door and then spewing garbage all over the inside of our home.

So as a precaution, after approving your posts, I went to your profile and also followed you so I'd be beeped anytime you post. (Just another precaution.)

Now that you have posted, I'm convinced you are a legitimate game player and I'm happy you chose ST. I'll un-follow you as I don't feel the need to continually kept track of what you do.

And I'll go ahead and split these two posts off into their own topic since they are completely unrelated to the Light Bulbs.

Oh. I see I considered following you, but didn't.

[Monkey D Luffy 24]

And yes I am a big fan of TORNADOES! Like I just build a city then I be like "I'm bored" then summon tornadoes out of nowhere! I like the SimCity 2013 tornado design it looks so good! XD

Well done for yours.

I play a different game as I've never even seen SC2013 in action, but I did some coding once to trigger 42 Tornadoes in SC4:

Hi @Monkey D Luffy and welcome to Simtropolis!

If you play SimCity 4 too (today happens to be its 22nd anniversary), you might be interested in this topic:

Then there's the JUPITER mod in this collection which adds a range of new atmospheric effects to the game (including weather).

Just thought I'd mention this, even if you're content and having fun with SC13.

Oh... uhhhh... ahem... you see... I might not have SimCity 4 but I have SimCity 2013 (or SimCity 5 for some people). Yeah... I got SimCity 2013 for Christmas. S-Sorry...

Holy! That's a lot of tornadoes! It's like a tornado fan's dream come true! XD

Yep. And that's cool.

We do have a section just for 2013. However, it's slow there with very few peeps posting. (SimCity 4 is by far our most active on the site.)

Heheh... yeah. But all in that. It's still a good game. I've been wanting to play it as a little kid when I first say the tornadoes in it and now I have SimCity 2013 and I get to do what I want! Or something like that. But it's still fun!

[Monkey D Luffy 24]

So... I finally managed to learn from my mistakes and build a BIG city! I think I'm starting to get the hang of it! But I'm sticking with Medium Density Roads. Well, for now.

It's just I have 1 nightmare...

Update: I upgraded to High Density. It did NOT go well. So I'm doing this.

[Monkey D Luffy 24]

Update: I abandoned my old city and made a new one. I'm NEVER upgrading to high density AGAIN!

[Monkey D Luffy 24]

Update: I expanded more and figured it would be better if I took the screenshot at night.

[Monkey D Luffy 24]

Update: I made a new city in my region and started trying to get the hang of High Density. And so far, I'm doing great! Hopefully I can keep it as a happy, alertless city as long as I manage my density. Oh yeah and I made 2,000,000 simoleons from THIS city!

@Monkey D Luffy

You're doing a nice job there building your city in the desert landscape. It reminds me how in SC4, @CorinaMarie created maps with terrain terrace levels. It must've been an elaborate highway construction task with the bridge connecting the upper and lower levels. Also thankfully for all the Sims there aren't any tornadoes in sight.

[Monkey D Luffy 24]

Update: Here's another city I made in my region, this is my third one. So far, so good with my higher tech industry.

Can you guess what I added? (Hint: Look at both of the pictures to try to find the difference)

[CorinaMarie 29,893]

I'll go out on a limb and guess the big skyscraper is the new addition.

CORRECT!!! I added the Willis Tower!
