I can run the game fin on Windows 7 Ultimate, but the graphics glitch constantly... Cars and other transport patrialy turn transparent, and if the camera is left in the same position for a few seconds strange coloured triangles shoot across the screen!

I often find with large citys when switching to high speeds it can take a while for it to actually do it. How much RAM do you have?

Originally posted by: bioduck42 Sorry to ask, but what's a power grid? Is it the power lines of the city? quote> Power can only travel through 5 empty squares in game. This means that if you have say some houses all close to gether then power will go to all of them, but if there are some shops that are 10 squares/tiles away with nothing inbetween, them power will not get to them (You should see the no power symbol above them) and you will have to build a power line (avalibale in the power station menu) to let the electricity flow to them. Basicaly, are all the parts of your city connected up so that power either comes straight from the powersations through the power cable to it, or are the parts that are not connected directly by a power cable close enough to a part of the city which is (so closer than 5 game squares, or with something inbetween so it can jump). If you still dont get it I can post a screen shot to show what I mean. It might be usefull if you post a screen shot of your city, so that we can figure out what is wrong with it

When you use the ? mark tool to click on your power station what is the slider set on, since that will determine if you are underfunding, and what the does the % used say?

I have occasionally noticed that if I place another police station to tackle an area of crime already covered it can intensify, although it then settles down. But I have never had any complaints about over policing, I always leave it set on 100% funding.

Isn't that under data views > zones? Clicking on that makes all the buildings disappear and allows you to see what type of zone it is and which way it is facing.

Originally posted by: kabasue Interestingly I forgot to bulldoze one of the commuter train stations, when I check in on it, it said it was still being used (2% usage). I guess the hobo sims where hanging out in the now dysfunctional train station. quote> Have you checked to see if the sim are going through the station? I've had sims walk to the station and through it to another road.

Well this one is seriously behind all of yours (Mainly due to lack of custom content), But its been my only atempt so far and was build to give reason for the industrial sprawl at the top of the cliff. I think it looks best by night.... Picture resized to 800x600 - ky72x

CaptCity your my hero!

I have Deluxe and i've now updated (I had previously till my computer crashed and wiped everything) and installed the two maxis prop files. The buildings have now suddenly appeared which is great, but i'm still having trouble with the stadium Thanks

I'm not sure if it’s just my computer or if I am missing some extremely common dependencies. But Certain lots such as the Simtanic and the glass roofed GLR stations are missing their buildings and just show a ground texture and other lots such as the Shanghai Stadium and some other ones that I can’t remember, their base texture is that strange blue grid and the night lighting dosnt work! None of the lots listed any dependencies. Am I missing anything? I don’t have most of the main prop packs as I tend to only go for no dependency lots. If I am missing something could you please point me in the right direction. Thanks
