So, I'm a newbie, at least on this forum, and I have decided to appeal to dedicated SimCity 4 fans who definitely know more than I can ever imagine. I have been a SimCity fan since I got my hands on SimCity 1 and SimCity 2000. I knew about this forum a few years before, but never participated in it. SimCity 4 has provided me with much tougher challenge than SimCity 3000. What I ask, is if it is possible to suggest me something, like how to improve my layout of the city, help me develop it into a better being. I dislike the usage of any kind of mods. My usual problem is that I ran out of money quite quickly. My best city, up to this day, has about 63,000 residents, 16,000 commerce and 11,000 industry. I make around 400-700 income, which is barely enough. The layout might seem horrible, yet somehow, no matter how many times I restarted, I ended up with something similar. I have attached a few pics of my city. Please tell me honestly what you think about it, and what can be done to improve it, or some city layout suggestions, etc. The pics of my city remind me the "worst cities section" in this forum. Btw, the layout used here is also heavily used by me in SimCity 3000, yet, 3000 is easier where I survive without difficulty.
