  1. How do you get al those Maxis houses to grow on top of one another?  
  2. Welcome to the Nine-Digit Region!

    Thanks! Although I hate imgur, etc...so you may not see many updates. Also, it took some days for this to appear on the forums (I logged out and the thread vanished). I'm a newbie to forums so what happened?
  3. Wow...that is one sprawling mother! Good job.
  4. Corona City

    Looking good but I think your graphics settings on the last picture are on low.
  5. So...I'm going to start a thread over in the forums but I'll be uploading my photos here.
  6. Hello! I recently installed SC4 (rereleased Aspyr port + Mavericks) and have found that if I don't have an active Internet connection and I have the NAM installed, all of the text in the game is missing and I am immediately warped to a blank region! I cannot play cities without the game crashing unless I delete roughly half of my plugins, including the NAM. Has anyone else reported this issue? Any help?
  7. The latter paragraph is something I've heard with a lot of Windows apps...they run better on a Mac than on a native machine. I'm getting pretty good results with JDatPacker (see above).
  8. korean traditional style shops

    Those look freaking awesome! Also got your residential ones to add some Seoul to my cities :D
  9. In two of my larger cities (+250,000 residents), some residential lots grow without properly finding road connections and promptly abandon. It takes up to a decade in game for them to become inhabited again. What is going on? This doesn't happen in smaller cities.
  10. "If the lot is OK with respect to orientation, sometimes a no-road zot will appear briefly when the lot is being considered for upgrading." That may be it. A number of these lots briefly abandon and then get replaced with something else of higher or (occasionally) lower wealth.
  11. Show us What you're Working On

    iowndiscti: Nice airport layout! Are the fingers of land going to eventually become a port of some sort? NielsC007: That would look very good with some low-density residential. I've seen neighborhoods with similar layouts in Scandinavia (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Oslo/@59.8826126,10.8121984,915m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x46416e61f267f039:0x7e92605fd3231e9a). Me, I am working on filling in some gaps in between my residential neighborhoods in one of my larger cities. I have so far created an outlet mall and a fishing village:
  12. Villages?? You want 'em, we got 'em. American great plains village with half of its land area vacant? Why, of course. Louisiana bayous? Yup. The cover pic is actually based on the Louisiana bayous, which had Filipino settlers who built similar floating villages in the 1700s (they are the fictional founders of my region). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Malo,_Louisiana#Etymology Their descendants founded this community in Louisiana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Lafitte,_Louisiana#History), which won an award for its "New Urbanism" plan (http://www.cnu.org/cnu-news/2014/06/2014-cnu-charter-awards-announced) that includes a proposal to develop a new Filipino floating village (http://issuu.com/cpex/docs/jeanlafittetomorrow) Glitches? Yes. Outlet "villages" with a Finnish flair? Perkele delivers! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perkele
  13. Dar es Salaam 2.0

    Dar-velous! I'd love it if you could release your set of Tanzanian lots for us to use!!
  14. Show Us Your Suburbs

    Here's Palma, a "dark Nordic" (read: mostly R$), predominantly residential suburban city based loosely of Malmö in southwestern Sweden and in contrast Chateau Lafite, a heavily R$$$ college town based liberally on affluent suburbs in the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut area.
  15. Swedish Fish

    There comes a time in every SC4 player's career when he or she has to build a city with a specific national theme. This week is Nordic week at my seven-digit journal, with an emphasis on the grittier side that belies many of the romantic American cliches about these nations. The template for my Nordic city is mostly Malmö, southern Sweden, and the BATs used are a mixture of German, Swedish, Finnish, Polish, Dutch, and Slovakian. In the title pic, everything is grown except for the mosque (I believe).
  16. I'm now getting this error on my Mac version! Any suggestions?
  17. Kostol sv. Egidia, Bardejov (Slovakia)

    Classic! Have you released the angled houses from the thumbnail yet?
  18. Show us your Old Towns

    Here's a Nordic (Swedish?) themed Old Town that mostly grew in one of my cities.
  19. We have a fix! I was able to play SC4 after disabling my wifi thanks to this tool: https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=16500.0
  20. Tourism Week!

    This week's theme is...tourism! Let's see some of the Seven Digit Lands' top tourism attractions and quaint neighborhoods. We have... 1) The picturesque agrarian village of Alhambra. 2) The famed "floating villages" of Siete Aldeas, which contains over 26,000 Sims on less than half of a small tile (the rest is agricultural...its population peaked at roughly 40,000 mostly low-wealth but I decided to soften it a bit because of too many housing projects. 3) The hotel and villa resort of Soufriere, which has a markedly Caribbean flair. 4) A collection of charming thatch huts. 5) Colorful Mexican houses that are a mixture of residential and guest house uses. 6) Just a nice shot of my compact region.
  21. Pyro Territories | Info and Posters

    Very Hunger Games!
  22. Dar es Salaam

    Nice! Where'd you get the red tile roof houses? I've seen them in other journals but can't find on the exchange. I think they're of Brazilian origin.
  23. Show us your Downtown!

    Here's a European CBD that showed up in one of my cities recently. I didn't plan this but just got very lucky that it showed up.
  24. Miscellany

    This next city is a bit weird. It has a European-style CBD but also a Chinatown and a ton of dirt roads. (The Chinatown grew randomly, but I decided to expand it.)
  25. My next city is named Chateau Lafite, after the famous French winery, and even has a chateau surrounded by "vineyards" (see entry image). It replaced a previous, rather ugly city that I had been using for BAT testing and is my attempt to create a pretty, less amateur looking city. It is organized around a grand central park surrounded by mansions but also has some scruffy working-class areas (I particularly like the one ending in 1802.png).
