1131989

I have a street of really cute little wooden houses but unfortunately as they're leveling up rich people are tearing them down and building glass mansions: I have not yet found the Make Historical option, if there is one, in C:S. Anyone know where it is?

Can you tell where the SC4 ends and the Skylines begins? It's not hard in my opinion...

That's annoying. Can it be modded in? Because I hate having a row of cute wooden houses and then... C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

Anyone able to get it to work on a Mac? I submitted a ticket but of course poor Paradox is swamped.

I've already started modding parks, but I cannot mod buildings! Please see the link below for a description of my problem:

So, I've decided to start alternating between SimCity 4 and Skylines (I have a million+ region in SC4) and am creating neighborhoods in parallel. Here's the wrong side of town in 2d: and 3d:

I'm working in Skylines for the moment and am hoping to create a combined Skylines / SC4 journal.

I like so far. Will there be tile sets of any sort? The architecture as it stands is a bit cacophonous and makes it difficult to recreate many parts of the world and I don't know if mods will allow you to block default Paradox buildings.

Hey 1131989, They're actually included in the rest of that castle () They're an overhanging plop, so I dunno if you wanted them separately... They definitely looked Wallibuk-ish...

What are the diagonal shotgun (long and narrow) houses on the center-right of this image?

After a daylong public bidding, a joint Malaysian-Japanese group proposed a pencil-tower redevelopment of the Mansa Musa resort. The group, Malaysia-Malaysia-Japan (Mymyjp), has developed it as follows: Unfortunately, the demolition of the Malian-style cabins provoked an outcry (literally, my mayor rating went negative because of the landmark effect I think), so new modernist town homes were built in the inland part while pencil towers (office and retail but mostly residential) populated the lakefront and the beach. The centerpiece of the project is the two FourSquare timeshare towers, named after the four red squares that adjoin each of them.

Cap-Haitien is my capital of plausible repetition, like condo complexes: (there are 3 repetitive condos in this frame alone) or this housing estate: The problem is more when skyscrapers repeat, and especially when the same building repeats in completely different parts of a city (because that is unrealistic).

So you want pencils? Then you'll get pencils next update!

Named after the richest man ever, King Mansa Musa of northern Mali, the Mansa Musa Beach Resort was developed in one of my cities as an attempt to attract affluent (especially Russian) tourists. It melds traditional Northern Malian architecture with modern amenities for the up-and-rising oligarch. However, the current Ukraine crisis has hit it hard, with sanctions and a falling ruble pushing it deep into the red. It unfortunately is currently in the red, losing thousands of euros per month. Although some parcels have been redeveloped with "pencil" condo and timeshare towers, we are currently soliciting proposals to redevelop it. Bidders include: The Seminole Tribe of Florida (USA) Pluses: In spite of their name, they are a global hospitality, restaurant, and casino titan with their namesake cafes on every continent. They are reportedly favoring a hotel/casino execution and then selling off the rest of the site for retail and restaurants. This resembles their business plans in Broward County (FL) and Sentosa (SG) Minuses: Anti-Americanism is a risk. The Four Seasons (Canada) Pluses: Iconic luxury brand, proven track record. Minuses: Elitism. Vanke (PRC) Pluses: One of China's largest developers, catering to the large East Asian tourism market and reflecting the historic Asian communities of Caribbean nations like Trinidad, Guyana, Panama, and Cuba. Minuses: Difficulty of flying in executives as well as uncertainties around the Chinese property market. Any other real-world developers would be appreciated.

I'm another one of those guys. The epic highway network of my 1.7 million Sim region is highlighted in its entirety in the red circle: Got kind of bored with that city and started laying down RHW for the same reason California is doing high-speed rail: to remedy an (in-universe) inferiority complex and prove that my region can play with the big guys (look, a highway!).

Named after the notorious red-light district in Bangkok, Bassan tourism officials have begun promoting the country's first adult entertainment district. Nana Plaza offers five strip clubs and go-go-bars within two city blocks and received the official Bassan seal of approval.

Thanks. European history has some gems.

In touring their new embassies in Europe, the government of Bassa decided that it needed a nice European coat of arms. This is what they took back from the Holy Roman Empire's dumpster: Although we are a Creole country, we take pride in our European influences. In contrast, the development community has turned further away from European pomp and circumstance with the crisp new Moderne Estates development outside Musa. In case you are wondering why it says Lincoln Head, please note that it is on the same city tile as the Municipality of Lincoln's Head... which, oddly enough, looks like a profile of Honest Abe himself. This is from the Les Cayes (Haiti) map on Simtropolis; unlike this Dalí masterpiece, any resemblance to Lincoln is purely coincidental:

Thank you TowerDude! There were a few journals that were to be "around the world ones", including one that did a breathtaking recreation of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, but I haven't seen any in a while so I'm doing a mini one!   The residentials are from https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=6173.0and are called "PRUGIO" I believe.

The Foreign Minister has announced a number of new embassy and consulate locations: CONSULATE: Los Angeles (Anaheim), USA EMBASSY: Lima, Peru EMBASSY: Manama, Bahrain CONSULATE: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada CONSULATE: Liverpool, UK CONSULATE: Porto Alegre, Brasil EMBASSY: Kingston, Jamaica EMBASSY: Bern, Switzerland CONSULATE: Erfurt, Thuringia, Germany CONSULATE: Bloemfontein, South Africa EMBASSY: Seoul, South Korea EMBASSY: Singapore (Serangoon area) EMBASSY: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Please note that sidewalks, in Bassan renderings, are always cross-hatched even when depicting planned buildings in foreign countries.

The contrast between the beautiful waterfront buildings and the insipid sprawl is neat...

Currently developing an intersection of four city tiles in my region's Southwest. It has a Singapore influence (regimented apartment buildings in pastel colors set amid palm trees and with a historic "shophouse" downtown).

Huston - The downtown is actually pretty nice; I'm mostly using Bixel BATs for the condominiums. Here are some close-ups: I love the pink, grey, and black building - it's so '90s! And some suburbs: Mymyjp - Thanks! Tonraq - Thanks! A little known fact is that in spite of its Finnish name, the city of Karelia is considered to be the pasta capital of the Western Hemisphere! It is home to an entire industrial park dedicated to the manufacture and R&D of pasta:
