I hate this "Where's the shopping in this town?" thing. Commercial zones appear to have a relatively low radius sometimes, so people still can't find shopping even if it's like 10 minutes walk away. So you are forced to scatter C zones within R zones which makes the city not have a downtown area...

Do ferries also bring tourists only? O_o I thought they work with commuters.

Yeah, I play Mass Effect 3 multiplayer now, that I have chosen as a free game. I have build several cities, but somehow I don't come up with something I like that would keep me logging in and playing every day. Also, there are a lot of game mechanics, such as roads tied to building densities or parks controlling wealth, that I have found really annoying and not letting me build the way I want.

This is beautiful. Did you plan it in advance or did you just build it out of your head? I always try to build something more curvy and realistic, and still end up with a pretty basic square road layout...

I have chosen Mass Effect 3 simply because it has superb multiplayer with a very healthy community. Battlefield, NFS: Most Wanted or MoH: Warfighter are not the games my machine can handle, and Dead Space 3 is a lil bit too cruel for me as a horror genre game.

Accepted all!

Add me: veelius Can play right away.

I have the same graphics card with 1 GB DDR2 memory. It runs fine, but on lower settings. I'm not sure about your processor though.

I have a similar problem. I have a depot full of crude oil, but all of my trucks keep standing in the garage doing nothing. Now my oil wells are full too, and I don't get money. It worked fine before the patch.

I would love to! Been looking for some quality multiplayer, since people usually mess up their cities and leave regions. I like to build build cities that are not only efficient, but also good to look at. Can play on any server. Add me!: veelius

No it isn't because a lot of people actually have pretty good computers. But it's about options too. If I don't want Motion Blur, I should be able to turn it off without affecting the overall game graphics. Motion Blur has nothing to do with lightning anyway. In about all games (including this SimCity) high motion blur means that your system can't quite handle the game so it uses motion blur to disguise frame drops... When you say 'the system can't quite handle it', which part of it do you mean exactly? I'm way above all minimum system requirements. I even use this computer for motion graphic work. Try changing the frame limiting to 60 fps. That should remove motion blur. Around 40 fps and below you'll see motion blur (I beleive). I don't have the best computer but I can change lighting to low, shadow to medium, and everything else to high and I get no motion blur. What are your specs? Going to try that. Because when I go from Min to Low there's just too much stuff turned on that I don't need and it slows my computer. I removed the fps cap though, because I have vertical sync turned on. Frame cap is usually there so there is no fps fluctuations (which means stuttering) when vertical sync is off.

...that it has like 6 other options build within it. If you go from Min to Low you get: better shaders (better lightning), shadows (even though there's a separate option), blur and motion blur, depth of field (tilt shift), also better view distance (of distant cities in a region, etc.), and better detail distance. So, if you go Min - the game looks ugly; if you go Low - you get lower fps. They could have made all of those settings separate. If they care about people being able to run this game on older computers so much, why don't they give the possibility to tweak these settings, instead of giving them a Min setting which looks terrible?

Post a screenshot. I think there might be a problem with the graphics card or old drivers.
