Hi using NAM & RHW.. Is there a list of each road type capacity? ie. Street = x cars /hr Road=y cars/hr avenue= RHW 4 RHW6 etc etc And trams.....

Is there a database somewhere WITH PICTURES of all the maxis buildings? I have just found out that if you CTRL+Drag when zoning you can control the size of the lot that gets built, brilliant, but I would really like to see a list of which building fit in what size lot... I.e. If I drag a R zone, 2x2 what could get built?

Hi, after nearly 10 years of playing SC4, I have just built my first GLR in avenue !! I downloaded a GLR in avenue station, installed it OK, if I query the station it says there is good usage, but if I query the avenue, i only see bus , pedestian and car volumes, no mention of GLR usage? And i dont see any trams driving in game? Is this correct, or have i missed some dependant or something? Thanks as always

I have dragged OWR and the paths look correct. I can UDI round the circuit just no sims use it!!!

Thanks, that didn't work, "Unsuitable area to build network" error. What station in avenue do you use?

Hi I have checked the settings they are all on high... I can UDI an Elevated train, round my tram in avenue no problem. I used SHMailsGLRAvenueStation1b, drop it in place, connected plain tram in avenue pieces next to it, drew one way roads and cars and buses where quite happy drive round the system. But no trams. So then I downloaded joshua43214 fix for the glrinavenue station, bulldozed the old tram station, plopped the station as before, connected the tram in avenue, drew the one way roads, but now nothing will flow through the station, cars dissapear when they get to the station ,UDI stops when i drive upto the station, so I'm guessing, something is wrong. I'm going to remove the "fix" and try again in a new city. What stations does everybody else use? What else can I try? (I'm using LHD, the NAM is LHD, cars & bus both use LHD)

I think the sims are using the trams because the stations have usage numbers like 4356 used with a capacity of 6000 So do you guys see actual trams driving round like you see cars?

Am I the only one who didn't know this? If you use the Maxis Avenue roundabouts, you must, Must, MUST draw avenues of all four sides!!! Been playing a city for about a week now, and had major problems linking the residential zones to comercial. I build avenues with round abouts, but didn't draw all four sides, as i only wanted to use 3 exits. Nobody was using the avenues. Finally I tried a UDI free drive and everytime i went round the round about the free drive would exit, so I turned on draw paths and the arrow only go 3/4 the way round. Drawpaths you save me again :-)

Thanks for the fast reply.. Installed the hotfix (I thought i already had, but...) Same issue With no avenues connected

I have lots of C demand, but not much actually growing. I used to suffer with residential only growing out not up. I think I now understand how to get taller R, what do i need to get tall C? I have lots of plazas, a couple of landmarks, demand but no growth. Do i have to buldoze the existing C buildings for a new one to grow in its place? Residential will bulldoze and rebuild its self, is C the same?

WOW!!!! The water in the residential areas, how how you build the edges and walkways right close, it just looks so real. What have you used?

I've built a rubbish dump in one city, there is a deal with the nextdoor city to take the rubbish. Is there a way to get a 3rd city to give rubbish to city 2, which will end up in city 1? City 1 City 2 City 3 Dump <---------------- <-------------------

I have just started my first "real" region. I downloaded the Isle of Wight and southern england map. Used google earth and maps to plot the major towns across the region. Then I created the roads, rail and ferry terminals. Once that was all in place i start creating small towns, where i have identified the towns on the map. Creating the roads across the region was quite a challenge, but now I am really please with the results so far, only 7000 pop, but its getting there... What do you think?

Is there a limit to the amount each city will import? City 2 is generating about 2t/month but is exporting 500t to city 3 But city 1 will only export a maximum of 200t to city 2. I can increase city 2 export up to 2000t, but even if i do that and run the game for several months city 1 wont export more than 200, and I have 5000+ tons to get rid of from city 1. Is it just another time issue?

Sorted, like all good things............... It just takes time All deals are now available

The deal is not available in city 3 but i have LOADS of trash

Whats the best way to add rivers and streams to a region? Just installed a new region and the rivers and streams are missing. The basic coast line in correct, and there is an indication where the rivers start but they don't flow across the island like they should. What is the best way to terraform the land and make it look real?

Is there away to undo your last move in Sim city? Apart from Save, make change, Exit to region without save, load region? Started playing with NAM and RHW and beleive me, a CTRL + Z would be a god send.... Plz tell me there is a mod for this ?

OK tried reading the NAM readme (wow there is a lot of information in there!!!) Is there a similar file for the RHW, I've looked but could not find it ! I am trying to work out the capacity of 6S vs 8S vs 10S etc,

Is this the most stupid driver ever? Why not just drive stright up the avenue, round the roundabout, up the avenue and they would be home?????

When you install the NAM there is an option for LHD make sure you tick it, you also need to set you game up for LHD, are the cars driving on the left already? If the cars are on the right hand side, you need to hack the registry, can't remember the key to change but do a search and you will find in "Sim City 4 LHD"

When you say regional occupany.... Do you mean if I have one city with a residential population of 50,000, if I start a brand new city, and zone a high density tile 4x4 I would expect to get something like the "Project hope" or "Hamster Tenements" both stage 8 R$ buildings appear in my new city, or do I have to get this city to a pop of 50,000? What is occupancy vs population?

I hear so much about "Building stages" how do you know what stage you are at? Appart from looking at which buildings are being built? Is there a mod that if you query a building will tell you which stage it is at? Does the whole city move from one stage to the next? i.e. If you get to stage 4, does that mean a stage 2 building will not be built anymore? Does RCI all change stage at the same time? Is it a time thing, ie after 10 years you will be at stage 3, 50 years stage 6? Is it a population count? So many questions :-)
