I'm sick of trying to build something, whether its a new zone or a transportation fix, and all of a sudden right as I'm about to let go of the mouse button, or sometimes right AS I let go of the mouse... OH MY GOD! FIRE!. Stop everything mayor. We don't know what to do. we have 12 fire trucks, and a single abandon building is on fire. please, help us. As if anytime theres a fire, we call up our mayor, and ask her what to do. Put the freaking fire out. All I do anyway is click the fire to death like a retard. Are you telling me that that is really necessary. The other thing that bothers me is the nit pickiness of the sims. They don't want to commute to long, but they don't want to live to close to the road, but they also want ridiculous amounts of parks and stupid crap, which for some reason cost a bunch of money to upkeep. I mean sure, some should, but how much money do we really need to spend each month to keep that single tree and grass green? Also, I just feel like the whole desire thing is a giant mystery. They want this for some reason, oh now they don't, wait, but now they want agriculture for some reason. And what do I do when all the desire is down? and the fact that there is one ordinance that makes me money. gambling, and it doesnt matter how commercially based my city is, it makes 100 dollars each month, just like clockwork. and some of the ordinances just dont do anything. Yes, I would like a greater variety of stations and such, but I would like to know why pretty much every building costs money to run. Like bus fares. Maybe I'm just mistaken about these, but we PAY for a bus ride. we PAY for a subway ticket. not to mention subways attract a more metropolian crowd. but my first instict is that while were probably not making a bunch of money for this, we are probably not paying a bunch of upkeep for them either. It's not like the city pays Amtrak to fly by in their trains. And there are other complaints, but just the whole realism deal. Little details annoy me. like the absolute rigity of the transportation options. no, this intersection may NOT occur near this type of onramp. No, we tried building diagonal bridges, they just don't work for some reason. No, you cant curve a rail through a street so it comes in at one angle and out another. no, monorails, highways, bridges raised rail must all have absolutely nothing underneath them, not even clean grass. any way, I'll think of some more, but I must say the Deluxe edition fixed some stuff. the patches are nice, but the NAM really made me happy.
