Everyone know that the Wendy's chilli deal was a hoax

I prefer Wendy's myself...

I like to use interesting or beautiful girl names, or names of cities/worlds from games. My current region is called Arcadia (from the RPG Skies of Arcadia, coincidentaly its a town here in Florida). Adrianna City, Angela City, anything that sounds nice. Try using names of past loves

Hmm.... On my first try for my drivers liscense on the driving exam, I was so nervous that on the very first turn, I made a right instead of a left on a one-way street. I relized my mistake mid-turn, and I hit the curb. Then I had to back up into the parking lot, blocking traffic. That wasn't fun. And quite possibly the STUPIDEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE would have to be the time I brought a pen-knife to school. Jesus H. Christ what was I thinking....

My entire C drive is blue......should I be worried?

Hi there. I'm new here and new to SC4, so forgive me if this has been requested or not possible. I want to know if its possible for custom disasters? Or rather, make new monsters. The last Sim game I played was 2000, and I fondly remember the giant robotic eyeball monster. I was wondering if someone could replace the Robot and put in the old monster. Also, I've noticed that SC4 has no Arcrologies. Is there a download or mod that makes them possible?

Thanks for all the advice and answers I'll go check out STEX, see if theres anything I like

Hi there, I've been lurking for a couple days now after FINNALY getting SimCity 4 Deluxe edition. It was somewhat of an impulse buy, I've always wanted this game, but never had the time/money to just go out and get it. Now I was raised on good old SimCity 2000, and I totaly skipped over 3000. Some things I have noticed with SC4 as compared to 2k: ITS FREAKING HARD! I mean jeebus! I would have had skyscrapers by now if I was playing 2k, but here I'm having serious trouble getting past 3,000 population. This is nuts! Then I see all these sickeningly huge region-wide cities you people have and I get even more frustrated. All my towns peak at 3000 then go back and hover around 2.5k, and nothing I do seems to boost it up. And so I have prepared some questions which I havent been able (or just too lazy to look for) find answers to. 1.) In SC2k, each square on the grid was 1 acre. does the same hold true for SC4? 2.) I think my main problem with my population is as soon as I approach the 3k population mark, I start seeing abandonment and long commute times. I try to remedy this with bus stops + parking garages, avenues, hell even subways, but it dosen't seem to work. What am I missing here? 3.) I finnaly understand the difference between high wealth and high density, as well as desirability. But what good is high desirability if there is no demand? How can I increase and stabilize demand for a certain group? 4.) How long does it take to make some of those massive, region-spanning, high-rise covered metropolii? At the rate I'm going it'll take me a year to get something like that! 5.) Is downloading extra structures and buildings totaly necessary to achieve a large city? I want to avoid extra stuff as much as possible. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, and agian, Hi ^ ^
