oh - and any insight on how to *not* have all this html code inserted would be wonderful as well.<br /><br />Jim

<pre><span style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt">Hello all!<br />I'm making a return to Simcity... long overdue as I played the 1989 original... Things have changed quite a bit it seems! Its because of this that I'm looking for some advice on a nice set of mods, both for ease of play and aesthetics, and some insights as to what works/does not work between cities within a region, city layout etc.<br />I've tried a few cities, more just experimenting - I've found that building fast can get some high populations, but not really the stability that I’m looking for. Example, I built out a medium sized city tile with about 85% Argicultural/12% Residential/3% Commercial and had about 3k population in 5-10 minutes. I placed some roads to 'Simnation' (guessing the defacto neighbor when there is no city on the next tile yet). Is it prudent to build zones that are entirely agriculture? What are the basic layout considerations when building a city next to an all Ag zone? Even just some direction to an online source of some sort would be great - I'm very eager to start build a thriving metropolis...<br />Thanks!<br />Jim</span></pre> <div><span style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt"></span></div>
