    -Just a taste of my work in progress ..hope you like it!......inspired from a trip to Tuscany Italy last year ..
  3. Hello to all friends ! -I am very happy to return here , after about a year ! ....as i am on old player (member since september 2006) of SC4 , infact I have many times returned back in the past , as i never forget and always miss this great game .... - This time , i was inspired by a trip i made one month ago to Italy for first time in my life ... I admired so many things there , but most of all i think i liked so much those nice beauntiful hills around while travelling ... anyway , in a few words i decided to make a try to represent it into the game as realistic as i can , but you know time passes quickly and forget sometimes some things ... -So, i have already asked some questions in "quick answers forum" here , and i was adviced to better start a new topic , in order to contain all the questions during the process .. -I am still in the early stages building a new region representing Tuscany in Italy ...i am not sure at all if i will finally find a nice result , but as always i am willing to try , perhaps with your support i may end having something nice ... -finally before i will go on , i must tell you that i started first building Pisa city which belong to Tuscany in real life of course...the reason i choosed Tuscany region is mostly because i didnt went there during my trip although i admired of those beauntiful rolling hills while travelling to Florence ... while starting to built and without knowing it , i discovered that Pisa is famous not only for the leaning tower but and for other things among them many bridges across the Arno river , as GOOGLE write... if anyone look at the map its very easy to see that ....bridges are everywhere and perhaps too much difficult for me to be represented in a game , but it will have fun i think and i will try ...I think perhaps we will learn to use NAM much better !.. -Sorry i already wrote much and i dont want to get you tired , i just wanted to have an idea what i am trying to do.. in my next post i will start questions ..Thanx , indeed Tony
  4. Hi! ... a problem that i face recently is the following as seen into the below pic... as you can see whenever i cross the rail line with any kind of road i get those brown boxes !...do you have any idea how to fix it? am i missing something? Thanx

  10. Question about installing IRM

    vetram replied to vetram's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    so , that means that i can safe delete IRM by TWrecks and also delete and the IRM version by Shadowstrike ! and yes i am going to bulldoze a few (fortunately) industrial lots that exist in my city... ok? just a clarification ....in IRM Shadowstrike i had choosen the B version which allocates all the I-HT lots to the high-density industrial zones and all the I-M (as well as the I-D) lots to the medium-density industrial zones. In my plugin the above B version still exist ..so if i also delete it what happens with the IM lots as it doesnt clarify that in your IRM @memo version ? Thanx memo!

    vetram commented on Simmer2's file in Transportation

    you write ..."I made the lot with TE in mind therefore you will see your tram automata run across the lot.Connect it to your GLR network and watch the trams run East/west and vice versa. "....but i dont see any tram automata run across the lot...sorry if i dont understand right or do i miss anything important? Thanx

  12. Got a quick SC4 question?... Ask here!

    vetram replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    I am very happy to report that after the latest update from @Ulisse Wolf ver 2 of Mediterranean heritage , now game easily find Med. buildings without delay at all !...Thanx...I would also like to propose for even more variety of Med. buildings such as.....Italian Collection Relots: W2W Apartments  ...there also many more Med.buildings By @11241036..... PS1: Reading the following ..." i wonder how to add the Building Styles property (property id 0xAA1DD400) to the building exemplar using PIMX ? if the answer is complicated pls dont answer ! Adding Buildings to Custom Building Styles This process is performed with ilive's Reader or PIMX. The building's intended styles should be added to the building exemplar using the Building Styles property (property id 0xAA1DD400). The building will only grow when one or more of the custom or Maxis styles in that property is selected in the game's UI. The DLL will ignore the building styles in the Occupant Groups property (property id 0xAA1DD396) when the Building Styles property is present. For compatibility with players who are not using the DLL, the Maxis styles in the Occupant Groups property should be left alone. If you are creating a new building, add the Building Styles property for users with the DLL and set the Occupant Groups property to one or more of the 4 Maxis styles for users without the DLL." PS2 : also i have already written in the comments of Med.Heritage file that links concerning MBEAR'S buildings seems need to be fixed ..

    vetram replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    @Null 45 in the dependencies of Mediterranean heritage there are many mediterranean buildings , which i download it almost all ( except MBEAR's content as link doesnt work right) ...i supposed that those buildings are the ones i choosed for the game when i clicked just only Mediterranean Heritage from the building style control.....but it seems that it doesnt find any building for zoning ...not even one ! PS1 : notice also that if i click also and the Euro building style with the Mediterranean heritage game do find building almost immediately ... PS2 : also just turned into =true (BuildingStyleSelection and LotStyleSelection) you mentioned , but still nothing seems changed ...

    vetram replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    -Hi! i am trying to use Building Style: Mediterranean Heritage by @Ulisse Wolf into my city , after downloaded every dependency , i checked Mediterranean heritage as the only building style control , and also checked Build all styles at once , W2W and Standard , and No kick out lower wealth .... the only thing that i havent done is to edit the two .ini files (Building styles.ini and SC4MoreBuildingsStyles.ini) , although i copied them into the root directory as the installation guide describes... now my problem is that i do not see any new buildings although i have zoned them...what am i doing wrong? ...perhaps is it necessary also to edit the .ini files ? and if yes how? Thanx

    vetram replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Hello! ..a quick question about the installation of CAM.......i already playing a new region using CAM 2.5.0 Extended by @Ulisse Wolf and i wanted to confirm that i have made the installation right .. So, i have noticed that in the java file into the welcome screen is written that , if its the first time be sure to apply the 4GB patch to SimCity 4.exe , and have simcity_1.dat patched installed is there any way that i can be sure that have already patched this file (simcity_1.dat) ? ..since in the downloadable .zip file the above file no more exists?
  17. Hello to all friends !...Is it possible to build a street / road under the bridge as you can see in the below pic?
  18. -Hi to all friends -I am trying to use NBVC Marina's modular parts , but didnt find any help in my research ...can i have some help how to align them?
  19. Hi ! ...just two more questions 1) what's happening with the rewards that i wanted to move in my city to a different location , and after delete them are not available anymore in my rewards menu? (for example State Fair , or Town Hall that i have seen so since now) 2) Is there any way to STOP Parking Lot (SAM1) or Draggable Pedmalls from override eacthothers ? I mean when i want to have lets say a street with SAM1 parking lots which i want to continue with just a Draggable Pedmalls without override one the other?
  20. -In fact , i am using CAM for the first time, and i didnt know that the fire stations radii had increased !...I just show that while playing the game , and i dont clearly understand why decided to change those fire stations radius ....perhaps @Ulisse Wolf can explain us which was the purpose of it....now i dont know ofcourse if this is in the side of realism RL fire stations radius , but for the game perhaps it makes it easier , as you save some money... ..by the way , is there any post where i can see all the changes in CAM versus Vanilla game ? ....since i dont know what else's should i expect in the continuation of my game?... -Personally i am in favour , of all those fixes , and i support so either , but i wouldnt like to loose the meaning of the creators of that game....so , if with all those fixes we dont loose the meaning and the difficulty of the game (i play the medium difficulty level) that's ok for me ... as for the game i have move forward and at the present i have about 30000 sims / $365000 in my biggest city so far ...i will post an update very soon , and pls tell me if it will be better to move my post in other forum perhaps ...Thank you Antonis (VeTram)
  21. as for the fire stations , i just noticed that the protection area of a small fire station is much bigger , than the protection area i used to see in the past ...! is that happens because i use now in my plugins the newest CAM version 2.5.0 ? ...here is a pic in a past region with the old protection areas and a small fire station that i added now ( the one with the big red circle) ..you can see clearly the difference...! so are you using CAM @CorinaMarie ??
  22. -I think this is the result from using google maps , in order not to get carried away from realism ...the map help you to see RL cities in a RL region ! So many other people have already design the shapes , the lines and boundaries of the city/region like architects , urban planners, mayors and so on ...and by the time you see a result that already has been done and its not easy to change easily...my thought is that we are just mayors of the game , we are not professionals like above... -Realism is one of the most important parts of my strategy , in a way that it doesnt have to copy what i see in the map , but just have an idea of where to start and where to finish....after all the game itself has enough restrictions which make it impossible to copy whatever you see ... -Here is the second most important part of my strategy!...of course and i would use mods which fix any broken parts of the game!...from the moment that it doesnt affect the smooth progress of the game , such mods are necessary as they correct the game, and dont change it !...what i mean cheat is, for example money ofcourse which i dont add in the bank whenever i need them ...ofcourse these make the progress of the whole project to delay or maybe become impossible ...this is what i want to verify , as i am still in the early stages and i have already apply a strictly economical policy... for example i have in my first city about 11.500 sims and i still havent given them ..water ! - i dont know exactly what you mean if i allow extra income from rural areas , but as for extended radius fire stations , i will try to avoid them also...i am in the first stages yet , and i will surely have to decide if i may face such problems...we will see ..thats makes the game even more interesting ..... - in my opinion , you are not sacrificing realism when placing fire stations much closer than RL ... if you have the money to do so , why not? after all , isnt that the same in RL rich cities? Thanks so much for your comments ! Antonis (VeTram)
  23. Hello to all friends!.. -I return back to my post , after some time and i will try to continue but with a new region this time from northern Tuscany , which is Florence and its surrounding suburbs... -Last time i was trying to represent Pisa as realistic as i could , but this time i decided to leave it for now , and try to represent Florence but with a different strategy in mind.... having some experience from Pisa , this time my strategy is to see if its possible to make a similar region but not be so accurate on representing exactly whatever i see in google map ... i just want to have a picture of what i am trying to do into my cities from the begining , and not trying to imagine a really fantasize region with its cities all by my imagination .... Of course , perhaps its not so difficult to imagine a region or a city that doesnt exist in real world , and for sure i have tried so in the past , but many times i found myself left from new ideas on what to do next , in order to stay as realistic as i could ....the result was so many unfinished projects ... -So , my new strategy is to try to stay as realistic as i can , and this could help me a ready real world region with its cities that i see in google maps , and from the other hand i would like to combine realism with the freedom to choose whatever i would like to add or ignore , in order to finally finish a project for the first time in so may years playing this game..a finished project that could satisfy me, without using any cheat and following the rules of the game ...Anyway , i dont know for sure if this strategy will finish with sucess someday , as it surely need much patience and time , but i will try always hoping for your help and support always.. -Right now i have already trying my new region since the beging of April 2025 , and i will show you an idea of where i have come since now ... feel free to write any comment if you want .. The following pics are from a suburb near Florence named Scandicci , and from there i started my building my region ...
