Thanks for the welcome. I will have a go at the different sizes and also use the standard buildings for now and see what is missing. I will be back, posting shortly no doubt Have fun all and thanks very much!!

Excellent, thanks for all that. I am running SimCity 4 Deluxe with Rush Hour so I should be ok there. I definately will be looking at the downloads later though, when my buildings are up and running. Would you say then that most people create the zones and build the roads surrounding it or not? I am just looking at the different ways and what most people find the best/most workable. Thanks again.

4x4 sounds like a nice start then. Do I need to surround each zone with road like I did in SimCity 2000. I just want to get off to a good start and then I dont midn making mistakes later and learn from them then. I have already started off with Wind Power Gens on a tall hill and am just about to start a Heavy Industrial Zone area not far from there before adding a few blocks of Commercial follwed by Residential so that the Residential area is away from the Industrial Zones. Am I missing anything?

I have noticed that when I hold the mouse button down, the zone automatically creates roads? If I hold down the mouse button will it place a grid of the same size each time? i.e 6x6 grid with a road staright through the middle? When I last played SimCity 2000 I had $360 grids all throughout my city and this worked really well. The road system was also a grid system. Shall i adopt the same policies for SimCity 4 or is there better techniques? Sorry for all the basic questions

Custom content on the STEX?? What is that? I am a total $%&^! to SimCity 4. Can I turn STEX off so that it doesnt interfere with my Zoning?

Hello all! Im new to the forums and SimCity 4. I ahve played SimCity 2000 and am in love with SimGolf so I thought I would try SimCity 4. I have had a quick search but haven't found a topic on Zone sizing. If I am using High Density Zoning, what size is best? 4x4 grids etc etc? Thanks all
