CompACE

(not sure if this is the right thread but...) I've had this game for a while and just started playing again because I wanted to try out some of the files from the STEX cd. It says I need dependency files in order for some of the custom content to work. When I click on the links for the dependeny files, they don't work. I've tried looking for these files using the search feature on simtropolis but with no luck. Can someone please help me figure all this stuff out - I'm kind of a newbie at this.

cool - thanks for the reply.

Hi - i donated $20 about 2weeks ago and was just wondering how long it's suppose to take for the cd's to get be delivered. Could someone clear this up?

I have a couple more questions. After looking around for a few days, I've noticed that alot of the cities implement roundabouts in stead of using the plain cornered turn. They look very nice and give the cities a more authentic/realistic look, but do they actually help resolve traffic issues? One thing I've always hated about simcity was the fact that when cities first start out, you are forced to either go agricultural or dirty industry to get your city going. Would you guys recommend something like creating an area in a region completely devoted to such (most likely dirty industry)? - I really appreciate all your help guys, I've already gotten some good ideas for my next city.

Thanks for the replies guys - I've looked around and found a bunch of great tutorials - I'm implementing some of the ideas as we speak. As for the STEX cd, I don't have it yet, but plan on getting it soon - I donated my $20 to the community and am very excited about getting it - from what I've heard so far, it makes gameplay much smoother. After I get STEX I think I'll make a city journal to show my progress. P.S. - I was actually gonna ask about tile layout in this post but realized this is probably not the right area to post - Anyways thanks for the help & if you guys have any more suggestions, feel free to post.

I'm a first time poster here at simtropolis (by the way this is probably the best community i've ever scene for any single game - kudos), but i've had sc4 for about a year and a half and i haven't seriously considered playing it because well to tell the truth I'm not very good at it. It's very unlike the other simcity games. I can manage a decent city and stay in the black, the problem I have with the games is that i can never make it look aesthetically pleasing (+ my streets tend to get congested fairly quickly). Everytime I try to start playing a game, I sit there for an hour with a fair amount of simoleons but an ugly city - Do you guys have any suggestions. P.S - please tell me if I'm posting this in the right area - if I'm not, sorry about that.
