When my expenses are high and my income is low, I always just zone more to get more res/com/ind until I'm in the green. Usually a neighborhood or small business district. That was my mistake: zoning too little. So try that. Also, once you DO get your income higher than your expenses, let the sim run on high speed to get yourself a bit of extra money.

Your problem is definitely the dual core. I have the laptop in my sig, and it crashes EVERY time when I don't switch Sim City 4.exe's affinity to only one CPU. On your region view screen, press the Windows key, then bring up task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and right-click SC4.exe > Affinity... > and uncheck ONE of the CPUs. When the game uses all of your first CPU, it tries to use the second, and Sim City 4 can't handle that. Works for me 100% of the time!

There's no restrictions, I don't care. By all means, post your pics so we can compare! (lol that rhymes)

OK, I've read your comments (thanks for all the feedback!) and I took 4 more pics from zoom level 3. Tell me what you think!

Georgetown Tell me what you think!

I right-clicked on MyDocs and then Move... and I moved it simply to E:\My Documents. It does work fine btw. Thanks for everyone's help.

Wow that was really easy.. Thanks for the reply! (I haven't tried it yet though, I hope it works)

I have SC4 and all other programs and files on my second partition to the hard drive (E: Drive) but SC4 still reads my plugins from the My Documents folder on the C: Drive. Can I tell SC4 to look on the E: drive in some folder for the plugins instead? My custom stuff is starting to take up a LOT of space Thanks for any help.

Save as a .bmp or a .jpg/.jpeg, I don't remember which. I think .bmp. Then find the file when the window comes up.

Start Simcity 4 and create a new region. After the blank region appears press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R, find your terrain image and let Simcity 4 run. Note: Do not do anything else while your terrain is being loaded. This will take several minutes depending on the speed of your computer, so expect to wait.

I think I'm stuck in SC Classic or SC3k mode.. I feel like I'm not taking advantage of SC4's realism. All my cities feel like I just add a blob/block/piece on to the side of the big city blob and I just keep going from there. My hospitals and schools are also slapped on a road on the edge... How do you make your cities look like snapshots from a helicopter? I just need a mindset... some tips please?
