Hello to all.. This forum has already beeen a great help to me, and I look forward to learnign and downloading. I have played simcity on and off for 5 years or so. After plopping Mr. mcgarbage, a custom incinerator plant, and one of those golf ball looking things for trash removal, I have experienced terrible problems in my largest city. I also have Mr akins clean air purifier. Evenually the whole city gets red with air and water pollution, also the sanatation costs skyrocket. I have tried leaving them in the game (the downloads), removing each one to isolate the problem, exporting obscene amounts of garbage, pushing sanatation budgets to the max, more recycling centers, etc. Everything was running smooth for years then all of a sudden this happens. My city is saved 20 years or so before this nightmare starts occuring. ANy help would be appreciated. thanks marc
