I just started a new region and i don't know how to start it. The first thing i do is to build highways and other kind of transportation. When i am ready with it i want zo zone all the houses, commercial and industry. Is that the right way to start? And how about if i put the industry in one city and the commercial and houses into the other does that diliver me with long journeys? Can someone give me a little bit of commentary?

I am building a big city in the Miami Dade Region and i am not so experienced with it so i am hoping op some usefull comments about my screen. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

That is a good idea! Where can i get those and how do they work?

I made another screen of my suburbs Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Those dirt track mods, are they working the same as the streets? I got enough non-Maxis trees just look in my second and last screen. The only problem i face is that if i start and i get all the trees on the mape it's gonna take me for hours. The god modd with the normal maxis tree plant help (the big green cirkle) is much faster to use. I just wanna say it's borring if i want to plant all the non-maxis trees in my town.

Like i told you guys, here are some pics of my region now. Please give some comment of it so i can use it to my advantage.

I got this brown boxes problem. It's only when i am building the grey streets and if i build the black ones the boxes are away. Does someone knows what it is and to solve it? Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Markus really nice industrial arrea. How did you build the diagnol streets? I am also trying to build them, but it isn't really working. I believe that you only needed the NAM right? The last couple of days i played in my region and i started 4 sections now. The problem i now face is that my sims are asking much more things such as schools, hospitals, garbage, parks and all of those are expensive. Later this week i shall post some pics of what i have done allready.

Problem is solved! I had to much sidewalks mods and i deleted one and that worked

I got them in my plugins all with names so i can track them down more easily. I was hoping that someone had the same problem and knows which download it can be.

I think it's a pavement mod where i am missing something. I downloaded a couple ones from the stex. It will be a lot of searching to get the problem out of it.

I have allready started one city with only farms, small houses and a little bit of industry and just let it grow, I am just building what demant is asking. The only problem is that i don't know to set the taxes right. Must i have everything on 9.00%?

Thanks Chuck. By the way if i want to start from a small town with manny farms to a bigger city how must i use the taxes? Yesterday i started my first city and the taxes are all on 9.00% But how do i have to regulate my taxes through out the game?

Thanx guys. I think i will begin small with farms and some houses and shops and then i want it to expand in the endless with much of skyscrapers. I will begin with small roads and replace them when the roads have to much traffic. @GRStudios, I have read the beginning of the topic you suggested, but the man who is developing the city doesn't use highways. So i am asking when i have to use highways?

Which stations do you use for your city?

I am playing with the map of Hong Kong, that i downloaded here. I have seen some really nice city's here that are allways really green and looking more realistic then my city's. So i am asking your help to get more experienced and to build a realistic region. This is what i am thinking: I want to get the high wealth into the parts close to the sea and i need some parts that stimulate the growth of high wealth. So i need cheaper areas with good schooling. I want those parts only with houses, small appartments, small offices etc. and some normal industie. This is my first area i am working on and it looks like this: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us I want to get it more realistic and a lot greener. Can you please help me and give me some tips, advice and some commentary about my start.

Thanks guys this are really nice mods and Jakehh, those houses from the stex are really great. I can't wait to try them out, but first i need more nice buildings. Recommendations are really welcome!

I can't see trafic on the roads too. But there is enough trafic but i gonna think about those mods. By the way i cleaned my files up. I deleted everything and nog i am gonna look for some nice bats. Can you post me your favourite ones?

I am allready a little bit more experienced, but maybe it's good to know for a newbe too. Can someone tell me what Textures do?

Okey i am jealous now! I love your city!

Thanx dude. I was really looking for a mod like that More tips, advices and downloads are verry welcome. I allready downloaded a lot of buildings, but maybe i need more. You can allready see in the screen that there are custom buildings in my town like the yellow big skinny tower on the lower right and the one that is under it with the blue glass and the cone on top. How can i make the screens with UDI off and what is grid?

No that is not wat i ment. I ment chivilian area's like this: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/topic/46694-moorwich/page__p__1208699#entry1208699 (5th and 6th screenshot) that are a lot greener.

I am trying to get the city more greener. Especially in the area's with only houses. Am i right to do that just i have to try building trees close to the houses? Just try to get them infront of huises. Just pop them there.

About the style i am going for is just normal western houses in the city and in the downtown area big skyscrapers. Like this: (this i my downtown area in Miami) Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I was surfing on this site and i saw this city: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/topic/46694-moorwich/page__p__1208699#entry1208699 I really like the way with the water (steep wall/concrete) and the row of trees close to the water. The other thing i am liking is the trees on the sidewalk.
