As you can see, I have a lot of questions. I didnt want to create several topics so I'm using all my questions here 1. Its necessary a 45000 commercial jobs at least to provide the high wealth commercial buildings right? entire region or that single city? 2. I have read somewhere its needed high wealth residencial buildings at neighbor cities and a lot of high techs to stimulate CO$$$ demand. How many sims (population) and neighbor cities its recommended to achieve before starting rezone high dense commercial offices? 3. Airport stimulate commercial demands right? Where to build? One near downtown area while others airports near high dense population areas? Why sometimes my airports dilapidate? Its location? 4. How about Dirty/Manufacturing Industries? Last cities I've made havent had a single dirty ind square builded (raising taxes and investing in well educational systems), is there any impact I can face due this action? 5. Some people say they hold CO$$/CO$$$ demand by raising to 20% taxes at all region cities, till they achieve a saturate population number, and then reduce downtown city taxes to 1% or 0% and watch a big growth. Does this work? I haven't tried yet. 7. What are your main concern when starting a new region, the first city and then, a downtown? Traffic system? Thanks =)

Don't know what you mean? What does control do when your zoning? I know shift prevents streets and alt changes zone facing? quote> Forget that question its kinda confused and merely a esthetic stuff The airport thing, I always thought it was about the high crime, and maybe it is. I try to locate a near police station but doesnt seen to have any effect. Thanks for the great answers

Hello guys I am aware about the Radical Ordinance Mod, that reduce entirely the amount of trash in the city, but the problem is: it change all ordinances as well. I really like the classic way to play, with no BATs or Lots except some modes like NAM, Bridge Height and industry quadrupler. As my cities keep growing, the amount of garbage increase, and more landfill is needed. It can be controlled trading and recycling, I know, but honestly I dont like dirty industries or landfills or anything similar =D Ive decided to get rid of it, if possible. Is there any mod able to take care of all garbage at all? Thanks.

thanks for the reply. Well... yes, I would prefer a mod but, to tell the truth, better a 1x1 lot than a big field of garbage.

Every city is a careful peace of work, undoubtedly one of the best CJs Ive ever seen It's good to see very criative people not only doing cities but also sharing with us. By the way, all your industries are high techs. How is it possible? Im curious cause I hate dirty industries

Hello, I just started a residencial-comercial city connected to a dirty industrial one. First step, my main city was just composed of low residencial areas. As my city developed, I decided to zone in low commercial zones always checking my RCI bars and selecting strategic locations (high traffic density). Ive placed some bus stops, subways and connected both citys with train lines. When my city achieved 10.000 population, Ive decided it was time for some schools, fire stations and piped water. The problem is: while my population declined because the high wealth residencial areas starting to show up, several houses was getting dilapidating due lack of jobs. I zoned commercial areas all over the city until get no demands, but never solve the problem. The RCI bar just asked for more residencial zones. What could be?

I'll repeat the question: It's possible, somehow, to start a city without using polluting Industries ?? If I use farms until my sims get high education, the polluting industries demmand will decrease ?? I like to use large terrains, but save a small piece of them to polluting industries make me feel like a waste of space =P Also, the pollution is unfavorable to build anything near it, forcing me to add trees all over the zones. Thx...

Hello people =P I've just bought SC:S and was woundering, why I cant build diagonal streets like this: Also, there are buildings on this picture which doesn't exist on my Societies, and I have the Deluxe Edition What would that be ?! Glad for answers...

Thanks guys =P By the way, Is there some place where I can find download stuffs for Societies ?!? Hellstrand - agreed, since I have Sim City 4 too and I know that is for those who look for realism But I think societies a fun game and can distract me very well... only this is already enough to me =D I play both =P

aff... that is true =/ Maybe City Life is better than Societies ?!? Thx...

Streets Hi there... maybe some people already know me cause of the thousands questions I've already made recently =P I was looking for some pictures to inspire me when I find this one For some reason I prefer the 1 st street style, like that one when you build only houses near it... I was woundering how I make the streets not change when zoning different densities along it. I couldn't even find the street file in the editor =P Thx

Do someone knows what this building's name ?! I've been looking for it in the ST-Exchange but couldn't find Thx

This building is 6x7, to much larger =/ and there's another locked And I've just found two buildings that interested me too =P Sorry for have not posted before and I've looked hardly but its too much pages. Despite of the building in the first picture has a name, I don't know if is the real name of the file or ficticious. Glad for the help

Since I have none of them but wish to buy, I was wondering which of them is better I have seen some pictures, read some articles and I know SC Societies is the newest version of the game, but have not realised which of them is better for me anyway SC Societies looks a good game, especially that new building style (which called my attention). But the graphic remember me Theme Park, whose I hate xD I can be wrong but was what it seems to me in the first time I saw it. SC 4 looks better for me because he offer, in a better way, stuffs that I'm looking for. However, as it seems, the game is too much difficult =/ What do you guys thing ?! =/

Projectadam - I think city planning =D Cougar2004 - That was my point of view too, once SC4 is more realistic and seems to have more building and planning tools Facelessman - Now I saw the tutorials, and buildings for download too =P Probably I would prefer SC 4 as you mentioned, but until I know, it's more difficult to manage then Societies and can become boring due the grow speed of the cities. Those were the main reasons I became afraid of and not allowed me to buy SC 4 yet. Although Societies looks easier and can bring results faster, he gave me some doubts concerning the rest of gameplay I think I made my decision now =P masochist - I wish I could but I'm brazilian and we don't have this special pack available on the market =/ Dizastrow - I m having the same feelings (thinking Societies is the lastest version of Sim City and becoming enthusiastic to buy it
