@CorinaMarie Success! @prtsc5 To add content click +Create at the top of the Simtropolis home page. Select STEXUpload from the dropdown menu. The Select a Category window appears. I chose SimCity 4 Buildings then Maps then Continue. Your region file is in Documents/Simcity4/Regions. I uploaded the Suleburg Region successfully as a compressed .zip file! To upload stand-alone cities, their files are in their respective region folder as a .sc4 Best!

Hi everybody! SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition (Vanilla) experimental upload. Suleburg and its neighbour Little Lake have a population of around 67 000 sims. Suleburg is on a large city map and Little Lake is on a medium city map. Little Lake is connected to Suleburg on the west-north-west side via monorail, bus, and road. Both cities seem to be doing fairly well. I would love to see how other simmers grow these cities. I used are the Longfellow Castle and Brandenburg Gate from the SC4 Maxis files. -Cori edit: I made the Castle and Gate clickable linkys. -

I found that it helps if your city's plot of land isn't all flat and that things aren't always grid style. When zoning low density residential, never use a grids, just have your main roads connecting to a small industrial area that is bordered with trees (it doesn't matter where the plot of industry is, as it will change over to HT in the future). Have roads going east-west and north-south following the landscape making large areas to fill in with light residential. As your population increases and you find yourself zoning medium density residential (which I would recomend doing after about half of your city's budget can handle the extra expenses from landfills, schools, healthcare et cetera) put the roads closer together and use one way roads on either the east-west roads, or the north-south roads, so they go to and from your main job source, or to a main artery like an avenue. using cheap forms of mass transit, and enabling orderances for transit and other things to make your city a better place to live help as well. Here is a picture of my medium density area in my city Treau Shores. I hope it helps!

Also, adding busses and other forms of cheap transit helps too. Here's a picture of my medium density area in a city, this is while using the NAM as well. I hope this helps.

This is the downtown core in Laurent.

Your city is absolutely, without a doubt, amazing! Great job. I can opnly imagen how much time this must of taken.

This game looks great visually, but I hope it's not a strain on my laptop, and I hope that it lets you get involved with your city like you could in SimCity titles. I know I'm probably going to get it.

Here is Laurent, the major downtown core is situated here supplying the region of Laurill with just under 400 000 Commercial jobs. Saddly, demand for anything has been very low, as land values outside the city are very high.

I started in grade 3 with Sim City 3000 Unlimited, big huge box and all. I spent over $50 on it I know that for sure, but it was worth it. I still think it can be more fun than Sim City 4, plus it's a lot easier as well.

Hey here's my skyscraper district with no plopable buildings, except the JH Center, from Laurent. I was thinking "chicago" at the time, so explains the river through the downtown.
