So I don't have a problem with running SC4. It's all fine performance wise. However, I attempted to enter one of my cities, with a pop of about 104k...and all it does is freeze after attempting to enter it. I have to hard boot the computer because it freezes everything. Is the city corrupt or something now? I can't build in it anymore? Thanks

It does nothing infact. I even tried it when the game wasn't locked up. Version is like 1.1.6 or something I think.

I'm region building. I've got a industrial city, suburb/single family homes city, and finally a Commerical Business Distric(Or where I expect towers/scrapers, dense building. I've started on the CBD, I've added a variety of medium/dense residences & commericals. At first, demand was wanting tons of residentials. I gave them those. They build a little. Then the residential demand dropped entirely, and they only wanted commerical. Which I've been giving them tons of. But not C$$ or CO$. Not that nice. It's only wanting C. So low income commercial. While most of my residence is Medium, and some high income. Now my residence is leaving because the demand has dropped entirely for people, but not for commerce. Education is in the 120s, police, fire coverage, minimal pollution(no industry). I've got the basics. I don't know if it has to do with industry in the other city or what. Should I doze residential until it's back in demand? Keep building low income commerical, that's killing my map space & design? Any thoughts? Thanks

Ah...yea. SC is so hard lol. Now I gotta make room for parks. I'll try that, thx a lot
