How to Build a Standard Land Bridge
jim 546 replied to isgoed's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Thanks for those links, I'd never noticed those before. I think game mechanics don't allow for diagonal bridges if I recall correctly. -
Originally posted by: Mastaflex I hope it comes out soon and for the SP also, because I was really looking forward to this when I first baught the game, even more then buses.quote> VERY unlikely we'll see the ski resort on SP. We'd see the buses first, and that's not likely either.

How to Build a Standard Land Bridge
jim 546 replied to isgoed's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
This is nothing new really. What would be innovative is to build roads etc. under the bridges, a la City Life/Cities XL. But I think this is practically impossible. -
I think it is, especially in one of my cities. I'm using RHW 6 as a loop road, which means corners, currently I have to create a fancy junction and use RHW 4 to get around it. Besides, if they can do an S bend, then why not 90 degrees?

That website Spinmaster linked to is SC4Devotion, it holds many good downloads and forums. Think of it as ST's cousin (it's not but heck let's do that). It would be a good idea to make an account there.

Really? It sounds right, but my cities are all 3 stars yet are all on easy mode.

I see a problem with the image, look at the tube going over the water, it looks like the maxis earthy cliffs is on the other side.

Because of the way Simtropolis works, it is very hard to change a username. It has only happened a couple of times before, usually because someone's name is too long.

Lots of blanks to fill there Victor, lets hope its all to the same excellent standard as before.

Schulmania 2009 Year Ending Awards Ceremony
jim 546 commented on Schulmanator's City Journal Entry in Schulmania
Ooooooohh, intrigued! I like this award system a lot, and the ribbon is made of real nylon! -
So if we're posting questions here, mine is: Does Dirk prefer duckies or bunnies?

There's no such thing as a "waste of time" on Simtropolis The easiest thing to do would be to buy the Rush Hour expansion. It's about $5 on Amazon. You don't need Deluxe Edition if you buy Rush Hour. This may fix the brown boxes as most STEX uploads require Rush Hour.

Try using the Run feature in the start menu. Pick the Disk driver and see what happens.

Can you create folders in Plugins to organize files
jim 546 replied to tkuelker's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Nope, the game can't access the zipped file. You could send it to a backups folder, but it's pretty much useless in plugins. -
Nope, it's not possible, but they're working on it, at least for RHW 6 / 8.

possible to load custom houses only?
jim 546 replied to dronepower's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
There are Maxis building blockers on the STEX, and they will stop all Maxis-made buildings from growing. This means you would have to replace them with other buildings, which can look cool but lead to a large plugins file. -
Plug: I wish I did have those skills, but right now I can't even run SC4 properly! EmperorNero: I suppose you could be right there, personally I think it would put all the cities to a correct "scale" in that the cities would have more res buildings. In fact, I'd like to request this be done, or have a link for such a mod, as almost all the buildings seem to have too many sims in them. I can remember having way too many commercial shops in my cities in comparison to everything else, so if i ever d/l such a mod, I'd zone over some of these to make it more realistic.

Originally posted by: His Divine Hand Of course, in real life you don't have one house that has 13 people living in it. I think that makes things a bit different.quote> So maybe we need a mod that halves the number of sims in each house? That would make most buildings a bit more realistic, especially the mansions. It would also increase the ratio of houses to shops/factories.

Maxis haven't made a new Simcity and almost certainly won't be doing one soon. CitiesXL is brand new, it has lots of new features, but some say it also has lots of flaws. Like I said in my last post, do some research into CitiesXL.

I don't quite understand what you're saying there, a re-phrase perhaps?

The snow only appears above a certain height above "sea level", so lower lying cities won't get it. Yellow snow? "Don't eat it!"

Cityobserver: Nice cloverleaf, but the inner walls would be unnecessary in R/L. Beebs: Awesome interchange, I like ths STR on the interchange.
