I can't wait to see Ethiopia, Western Africa and Austral Africa and the islands on the Indian Ocean! Absolutely stunning work! Thanks There probably won't be any African updates for a while though - currently working on my Patagonia update. -korver

Holy elephant this is amazing! Great balance between the trees and the grass, the flamingos over the lake give life to the picture and you even added the geysers like the real lake, excellent work! Always wanted to work on an African CJ, couldn't do it, too few people tried it and I can't wait to see more! One of the reasons why I opted for an African recreation wasn't just my passion and interest in Africa, but also the fact that it hadn't really been done before like you mentioned. It's definitely going to be challenging, but, it's a fun challenge. Thanks for the comment. -korver

Prominent Iraqi-British and Prtizker-winning architect Zaha Hadid passed away this morning in Miami after a sudden heart attack. She was 65. She will be remembered as a woman who broke down barriers in her field. If SimCity turned you into an architecture enthousiast, I suggest you guys to take a moment to look at some of her projects

Back to what A Nonny Moose said about peanuts, thanks to the modern hygiene that surrounds us like treated water, pasteurized milk, antibacterial soap, air purifiers and all, kids aren't exposed to nearly as many microbes as they used to be. As a result, the immune systems gets fewer opportunities to learn how to discriminate between dangerous pathogens and harmless things. It's just a theory but it's widely accepted as many can't explain the exact origin of allergies like peanuts. Our immune systems become unregulated as they are no longer kept busy fighting infections, hence allergies like pollen. Then, you'll see that even countries that don't necessarily adopt these hygiene precautions or have different diets also have high rates of allergies. We don't have exact figures for each countries, most are extrapolated data, but you can see that there are high level of certain allergies in developing nations as well. From that point, the issue becomes more complicated. Allergists explain the increase in pollen allergies through extended travel (that bring weeds and pollen we are not used to), the import of foreign trees, flowers and shrubs that we put in our parks and streets, air pollution and climate change. But these same allergists have trouble explaining why we are seeing such an increase over the years and over the world of many allergies, food allergies in particular. It's true that food allergies are increasing in prevalence. I lived in Western Europe for a while, where people generally don't eat many peanuts. Consumption of peanut butter is low compared to North America and there are close to zero meals that are based on peanuts, unlike Sub-Saharan Africa or Southeast Asia where peanut-based sauces and peanut oil are common. Still, peanut allergy is as common in Western Europe as in North America where the consumption of peanuts in particular is higher, and quite strangely, there is some increased prevalence of peanut allergy in parts of the world where peanut consumption is higher and peanut allergies were virtually non-existent 20 years ago. So, is exposure or non-exposure the real reason behind that increase? I highly doubt it. It might explain a couple of allergies, but not such a dramatic increase in prevalence all over the world. Some scientists believe that the theory of Dr Charles Richet in the beginning of the 20th century could explain the increase in allergies. One of the most dangerous symptoms of food allergy is anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening situation. It turns out the number of anaphylaxis cases exploded around the end of the 19th century, where diphteria vaccines became compulsory in many industrialized countries, the US in particular. The reason behind it could be the use of needles for vaccines. Hypodermic needles deliver substances into the bloodstream hence by-passing the modifying effects of our digestive system and could potentially create those life threatening situations.Turns out that many vaccines in the 50s, 60s and 70s contained an adjuvant (additive) that was based on peanut oil. An adjuvant provokes the immune system to create antibodies while requiring less antigen (virus or bacteria), and it is very effective when it comes to cost, an important feature when you have to sting millions of people in a compulsory vaccine program. Don't get me wrong here, unlike the people from the anti-vaccine movement, I'm not saying the products in the vaccine create the problem, but the adjuvant in vaccines and the process of injecting them in the blood could. I'm not trying to create a thread on how good or bad vaccines are, I'm not a doctor, but this a theory that has been asserted by a scientist that won a Nobel Prize. Vaccines, or at least the current process we use, are probably no stranger to this issue.

Makes me wanna cry when I see such beauties and know they won't be released

Yes yes yes! We need more mid-rise like this one, model looks great! I can't wait to see the texturing

Manny thanks buddy!

The Republic of San Theodoros is a country located in South America. It is bordered on the North by Surinam and French Guiana, on the West by the Republic of Nuevo Rico and on the South by Brazil. HISTORY The country was inhabited by two tribal nations, the Arumbayas and the Bibaros prior to the arrival of French explorers in 1624. The Kingdom of France attempted an expedition to the area in order to establish a colony for the commerce of Amazonian products to France. Eventually, the explorers faced strong hostility from the Portuguese who claimed that area as part of Brazil and saw a violation of the treaty of Tordesillas, signed in 1494 and establishing the division of the newly discovered lands in the Americas between Portugal and Spain. In 1643, the French returned and managed to establish a trading post in the region as part of a plan of exploration of Southern French Guiana. In 1658, the Dutch seized most of the French territory in Guiana to establish a colony, including the region known as Saint Théodore, which will later become San Theodoros. The French returned in 1664 and started to colonize Southern French Guiana. In 1667, the British seized the area, and following the Treaty of Breda in 1667, the area was given back to France. In 1701, Spanish separatists fleeing Venezuela settled in the area and founded the city of Los Dopicos. In 1763, the treaty of Paris deprived France of almost of her possessions in the Americas and the administration of the region of Saint Théodore was offered to the Spanish Crown, which renamed the area as the Captaincy of San Theodoros. In the 1830s, San Theodoros became independent as a result of the rebellion of the Generalissimo José Olivaro (1805-1899). Endless rebellions in the 1840s until 1930s made San Theodoros have the most number of presidents in history. Following the 1937 War opposing San Theodoros with its hostile neighboring country Nuevo Rico, San Theodoros gained supremacy over the Gran Chapo region, a desert area located in Western San Theodoros. In 1959, in the context of the Cold War, young General Tapioca comes to power, and strongly supports the fascist state of Borduria, located in Western Europe, opposed to both communism and capitalism. In 1972, the communist guerilla lead by General Ramón Alcazar attacks the capital city of Tapiocapolis and a communist regime is put in place in the country. BASIC FACTS Capital City: Los Dopicos Official Language: Spanish Other Languages: Creole, Portuguese, French, Arumbaya, Bibaro Population: 4,350,000 Religion: Catholicism, Tribal Religions Independence (from Spain): May 1, 1831 Government: Presidential Republic President: General Ramón Alcazar Major Exports: Fruits, Coffee, Oil, Iron, Gold, Diamonds, Silver Major Imports: Consumer goods, electronics Currency: San Theodoran Peso

Looking great so far!

My man! Many thanks!

Hi guys! Looking for these Japanese stores. Have they been released yet? Thanks a lot! Also looking for these 2 covered shopping buildings ありがとうございました! Thank you!

Un Google Translate de ce tuto ne suffit pas? http://www.wiki.sc4devotion.com/index.php?title=Tutorial:Turning_Props_Into_Plops Sinon je te conseille d'envoyer un MP a Namspopof(tu peux chercher son profil simtropolis via Google si tu n'arrives pas a le trouver), il a travaille sur des packs de MMP avec ses props HD, il saura surement t'aider, il est sur simtropolis de temps en temps, il faudra juste etre patient, la communaute francophone n'est plus aussi reactive qu'avant

Back to what has been said previously, it's been 13 years already..I've been playing SC4 for 10 years, maybe a little bit more. At several points I stopped playing and was saying to myself, ''I'm done, I'm gonna try something else'', then a friend of mine told me there was a community doing mods for the game, I discovered mods, bats, maps and tons of things that were so exciting. Then I discovered, the Lot Editor, the SC4 Mapper and we started to have major projects through the NAM team and the BAT teams. Sure we lost some great Batters like SimFox, SimGoober, but we found new ones. And we keep discovering new talents. But what makes SC4 special is beyond the content itself. I don't know about you guys, but this game has changed my life. Could I say the same thing about other classic games like Age of Empires, Call of Duty, GTA or Mario Kart? I don't think so. I discovered a new passion for the ecosystem that surrounds SimCity4 in real life; Urban planning. SC4 helped me understand the things that surround us and have an impact on our everyday lives. I started to ask myself questions on the way we build cities, the way we manage them and try to make a better life for the people that inhabit them. That might sound very naive, but when you see that actual schools and universities used this game as a teaching tool to introduce students to real world issues, you understand that this games transcends the simple fact of making a nice city full of skyscrapers. SC4 has entered a Golden Age a long time ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZZx5lnj0Fk

I second SimCoug on that one! And btw, it's awesome meu amigo!

Not the proper section to post this. Please go to this section of the forum to post you BAT request As for the BAT, Kodebo started it a long time ago but never finished it

THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR COMMENTS! It's 4:00 AM here in Montreal, Canada, I'm pretty tired but can't get some sleep. I'm a little lazy to answer all the comments but I'd like to thank you all for your comments, I appreciate it a lot! As an apology for not answering, here's a small update! Prefeitura de Goiana Estado de Picuí The Prefecture of Goiana is the largest city and the seat of the government of the State of Picuí, the smallest state in San Theodoros. That region is located along the border with Brazil, making it the second Portuguese-speaking enclave in San Theodoros, after the Islands of Trinidad and Cayo Coco. The state is widely known in San Theodoros for its microclimate and its beautiful pink and purple Jacaranda trees. During the dry season, from May to October, the lack of rain makes the levels of the local rivers go down and exposes tens of kilometers of beautiful sandy beaches. Those beaches, along with the natural hot water wells, are a significant tourist attraction and San Theodorans massively come to populate the city of Goiana during the weekends, national holidays or for a larger period of time. The city has today a permanent population of 41,000 inhabitants, but this number goes up to 500,000 people during the peak tourism season. This situation forced the local government to massively build hotels, mansions and condominiums in order to accommodate the tourists as well as a massive BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) System. Surrounded by plateaus, verticalization was a necessity and Goiana is now considered one of the densest cities in Latin America, with a significant number of high rises per capita.The city hosts major national events such as the Goiana Country Show, a national festival of Country/Sertanejo music, a genre of Brazilian origin that won the hearts of most San Theodorans, including El Presidente!

Love the trees! Diego, do you remember your 1st BAT? do you see what you have done? That's a terrific improvement, great job!
