well that the one thing about radical mods....once ya use them, it sometimes imposible to go back to playing the city non cheat with some, their just that radical god bless the turtle for them though...their fun to play with if you bulldoze either ot the "super" flower park ( i like the little green sparkles) or plaza from your city...takes a nose dive quicker into the ground, that a NASA space probe into Mars....boom crash! though once you start playing with them why would ya wanna turn back ...theres no turning back and their great for testing new stuff and you never know what might BE ABLE TO GROW BABY! or not to grow for them famers type mayors ( not sure why you wanna do that, but some do)

Mass Transit...the use of this will eliminate some of the cars also on the streets...tree and or parks...speacially the flower parks (or any that soak up a lot of pollution) help if your willing to use radical methods there are many super parks and/or mods and modded building that will reduce pollution a bit more , some that even eliminate it altogether, depends what your willing to do personelly to eliminate the pollution. Ralphealninja's Radical ordinace version 2 in the modds and and download section, very radical and includes many other very radical mods as well...

what I do as I sort of partial to having my cities conform all the time is to reconcile a city when first entering it...don't change the city edges aginst established cities, and when i have my bounderies set 9 using the in games tools and set all my conections)...I then open and reconcile the edges of unplayed cities to the ones I played already, so when i return the city edges match those of the ones around them recociling eadges of a city that is established is just about the worst thing you can do to it, for tha above mentioned reason ( destrys all studf on the edges, desrtoys bridges annd tunnels and randomly knocks out trasnit and building throughout the city and they charge you the buldozing cost as well) If I do run across an establish city that doesn't recocile, i personelly will piggy bak a roll of $$ an reconcile when i know i can afford it and have the time to reconstruct the city after the devistating effects it causes some players never recolcile their cities to the surrounding ones, as it is only an option that you can decline or toggle off....some mayors have cities beside each other 100's of metres difference....the game will allow you to do this if you want, though very drastic changes will be noticable i the region view sometimes

yea seen the thread...but that was afterwards of writing this post....I never took the time to actually pinpoint the actual % neutral points in the taxes at different populations, just noticed this trend when playing my game in general terms...knew it happened...just I learned not to be to particular of the demand charts at high populations ( above 1 million) due to the fact that delapilated buildings would make large swings into the negatives also...even though the city continues to grow...with short burst of growth and then swings into the negatives for several years...i learned through trial and error to just ride out the storm and not get to particular in the actual #'s....think it's a litle bit of glitch in the game...i have cities that the demand charts say their in the negatives...but stuff keeps on a growing

GoaSkin....two little things...need to place a readme file outside of the EXE and a second version non EXE for Mac users

the building still have no comuters....that just uses the old stats of the building ploped over, as soon as the worplace they were going to changes...the pathways go away and the building have no comuters and then it abandones and dies telling ya...RES plops don't work...unless your doing a recreation and need them for visiual effects....don't use them...they will cause problems

ok...link me to these files...I like to check them out

ok...seems to be fixed new screen shots of the same cities http://img48.imageshack.us/my.php?image=006crfversion2beta2oa1.jpg http://img48.imageshack.us/my.php?image=007crfversion2beta2tt2.jpg
