Yuup, I've been having the same problem for the last 3 moths although I never thought of pointing it out (duh me). Sometimes downloading a 600Kb file takes about an hour and a half with download rates below 5 bytes per sec. :-S the highest I have achieved in the last month or so is 30 Kb/s.

Hawkeye9: That is a really nice shot! I like the pool and the photoshopping makes it look great! I also like all those trees and the baseball field in middle of everything. Great! 9/10

WOOOW the skyline and the scenery is great... but the industry es too big... and ruins it a little... amybe update it to HT and zone high density? still GREAT city i love that last pic

Look, there is three different sizes for cities: small, medium and big city tiles. Most of the in-game regions do not have this big tiles although you can find some in "berlin" and "New York". If you want ot have plenty of them, your best choice is to make a new region. Once you have done it, got to My Documents/Simcitiy 4/Regions/(the name of the region) and look for the config.bmp. Open it and you will see a very VERY little picture. Zoom it in and you will see a series of patches in red, green and blue. Red ones are small cities, green tiles are medium cities and blue tiles are bic cities. Each measure 1x1, 2x2, 4x4 (pixels) respectively. Measure your image and if it is the size of a multiple of 4, you can paint it ALL blue and you will get pure blue tiles. I hope this helped. If you need any more info just PM me and I will be glad to help you

When I try to post a new entry to my cj, I click "New Entry" at the bottom of the screen and instead of saving it, it deletes the whole thing!!! I had to try 17 times (litteraly) to get it to say "processing" and finally save my entry, but as I am uploading all of my cj to the new cj section, I will have to post new entries about 26 times! Will this keep happening? How can I fix it? Am I doing something wrong? It is the first time this happens, I have been able to do previous entries fine.

great job! I like your custom content and you did a great job on your mosaic! Just one question..why is there SO many flowers? Keep up the good work

La République-Unie de la banlieue (URS) is a cj which involves YOU, the reader onto the mayor desicions of the future of the country. The more you take interest in the CJ and the more you post, the higher the chances are of getting elected as councilor, head councilor or even vice-president of the country (all old stats have been erased and will be commenced from the top(sorry to those that were councilors!!!)). The system for getting elected for one of these spots in the government is simple. You get different amounts of points for the 2 different types of comments, and I will post a table with the quantity of points for EACH of the readers that have commented in the "replies section" (page 2) everytime I update. insulting comment: -1 * Simple, constructive or pleasing comment:1 point Voting on the poll: 5 points There is a need of at least 20 points to take a place in the City Council, 25 for the head councilor and 35 for vice-president** and you must have a higher number of points than most of the writers. There is only 6 places in the City Council, 1 head councilor, and 1 vice-president. You may also act as an ally to the URS. If you would like to do any kind or deals or maybe become allies, I would be glad to cooperate, and you would take a place in the country's economic and commercial sector. Current government occupation: Councilors N/A Head Councilor N/A Vice-president N/A Trading with: N/A Allies with: N/A *I'm not saying you cannot be a critic, actually I LOVE tips and recommendations for improvement, but it's not the same to make a constructive comment than an insulting one **To be the vice-president you must be the top commenter Some pages you should keep cheking out are the following, as I will update them with new data constantly: Page 2 - Replies section Page 19 - Region shots If I am missing information regarding the government system or if you have any doubts please post in this page

Hello everyone and welcome to a new update. While you waited, the hardworking sims of Three Mesas where building a brand new highway, which was completed succesfully after 4 days (yeah thats fast) and is now ready to be used. I chose to develop as wishfulanthony said, cause he gave a lot of detail on what to do so 1/4 of the money was used for the highway, 2/4 for the development and 1/4 remained spare: Some roads start being built: The little road system is filled with commercial zones: An avenue is built to link with the south part of town: Suburbs start to invade quickly: A road is placed all around the mesa: Another exit for the highway: Zoning on the whole area: Some tall buildings being grown and also some mid rise residential: Schools are placed: A nice baseball park, surrounded by trees: More development: The old exit is upgraded it to a bridge which crosses the hw to continue developing:

Yes, in the most populated cities (which I will post once I have time, remeber this cj was already on the forums) I have simple subway systems to keep expensures low and many bus stations. Monorail sounds as an extremely good idea! I haven't aded it because as you said, it attracts RSSS sims which will not move in to those 1x1 lots so it is not what really suits me. -Page 12- -Page 13- -Page 14- -Page 15- -Page 16- -Page 17- -Page 18- -Page 19- -Page 20- Here is the point table which I will be updating every once in a while username points occupation frieko9000 3 Evillions 2 balkair 1 rainyday 1 hjb2009 1 oxford1313 1 railfan88 1

First, some developement pics on the north-west part of the area: A huge economical depression hits the city. The funds are down to zero. Residential Taxes have to be raised for there to be balance and will be lowered again when there is enough money. The new income: Also, the government decides to import garbage from Bruno city for a good amount of exchange. Here is a graph of the total funds over a period of 10 years, where you can appreciate the couple economical depressions. As you can see in the red circle (or kind of a circle) the total funds, which have increased finally over the last year with he various changes made. This depression causes a harsh impact on the value of the currency. Here is the current and past exchange rates: Before 1 URS Franc - 0.52 U.S. dollars 1 URS Franc - 8 Mexican pesos 1 URS Franc - 0.38 Euros After 1 URS Franc - 0.31 U.S. dollars 1 URS Franc - 4.7 Mexican pesos 1 URS Franc - 0.223 Euros Finally some more developement photos:

I would like to thank simcityplyr100 for adding me to his signature, and for his constant help and support for this cj.
