Cupcake Carly

I was pretty young back when I used this site, and Nonny, among some others were there to talk to me as I browsed casual city journals and discovered new mods for SC4. Gosh I don't even remember how to mod the game anymore, it's been that long! Really great history buff, polite to a fault, always willing to talk to you even if you clearly didn't have much life perspective yet, (he sure as hell put up with my younger world view and walked me through some things) and lovely to speak to all the same. I'm late but I'll miss him regardless.

origin: CupcakeSama I'm on right now, playing it quite a bit.

Thanks for the great suggestions, I'll definitely look into them all, I'm just stuck is all, so I get depressed over it all lately. Thanks again.

I'm just realizing now that I don't even know what kind of carreer would be suitable for myself, with the way I am. What fits someone who is caring, looks at big pictures, likes to tinker, doesn't like essays, loves talking and convincing, loves art, enjoys labor, hates deskwork and doesn't involve college? Meh...

I needed this, but it was never done this way in my time. And now I struggle more than I should. I'm not truly academic myself, I simply like to learn things, but I don't want a college degree over it. I WOULD rather work sewers or coal mines or even a farm, instead. They're all hard work and I like hard work. It gives me something to DO and I do not want to do office work at all.

I wonder if it's possible to sue them for basically not allow you to use what you payed for if it comes to that. If I can't sue or get compensation in the form of a refund, I think I shouldn't buy it. But other than that for a start from scratch Sim City NexGen this is actually pretty good, and the interview confirms it. I have a feeling this will be NexGen Equivalents starting based on success. This IS Sim City 1 just made with current tech. There'll probably be a new Sim City 2000 later if they have that "success" Then an SC3000. SC4.... and so on. Just my view on it. "From scratch in this generation of games. Meh, scratch that. I guess. I mean I want a SC42013 and all. But I understand. I just feel like money makers are getting away with things that I raised to see as, well, immoral. Really immoral. I mean do they have to make that much profit? I mean as long as they're making money it should be enough. But it feels like they want to hoard it all and not spend anything for more quality. Just be as cheap as possible, always a way out, and while that is financially sound, it's just not... right? Does this make sense? I expect a we don't live in a perfect world reference, but that reference is realistically disturbing with it's obvious implications. I mean even game companies are evil now? Technically speaking of course. It's like everything is evil now. And that's worrisome. (not literally everything, just, a lot of noticeable things seem to be going that way in my eyes.). But yeah, more to simply the game, I really did hope for more, but if I have to settle, I'll try, if only to give a benefit of the doubt.

This bothers me, The whole point of an SC5 is to be the replacement for SC4, but if the game is "don't like it play SC4", then it isn't really an SC5. I mean really I think they should just change the name a little at least. Then again, I don't see a "5" in the game's officail title, and that leaves room for them to add "SimCity:Online" which would make everything they've done so far make perfect sense to me. not good enough. If I plan all playing SimCity all day long on a Sunday and my internet goes down or their server goes down or they're doing some kind of maintenance or they're hacked...I won't be able to play (or if I want to play on a laptop and don't have internet where I am at all). Why should we have to deal with this for a single-player game? I'll put up with that much, but I understand you, idealistically, I don't like it, but I can put up with it within reason, my whole worry is "renting" game till the end of the server life which afterward all my money was a waste. That right now is what is important to me. Dunno about everyone else, but just playing the game alone over the years, this is actually what I've wanted, a 3D, upgraded, and enhanced, more in depth, more complex, more everything that was and ever could be, SC4.

Simple solution that would make me happy: They can have all the DRM and Online Authentication they want, but only if it's gaurenteed that as soon as Online Support is shelved(terminated) The game will get a patch, update, what have you that will unlock, allow, what have you, offline play forever with no authentications needed after. I hope I typed this right and you understand what I mean.

\ So it needs to be hammered now that, maybe not for you, but some of us need offline play with offline saving so we can stay connected to our cities until we decide it's over not EA. Absolutely positively agree with this. If nothing else is fixed, this simple concept is at least what needs to be fixed, then I can at least rest easy on my time and effort and the money spend in the first place. Why pay for something if 6 years down the road I can't use it? Especially if I still WANT to use it?

Bravo, I love how you're showcasing this CJ. Keep up Mista.

Sorry, but must say thanks for the link to JS Seawalls many several pages back. Now to get SC4Terraformer to work on Win7, ????th try~

So I need to find this. Anyone have the link or at least the name? I always enjoyed these and my backup files got corrupted during the transfer so ;__;

I sometimes sit and wish I was someone like moose up there so it wouldn't load so long in the first place. (Pm with some simple hints yes? :'D)

Well I haven't been playing for months ( Really should reinstall, missing it QQ) But here is one picture from one of the last major regions I've worked on(excuse the low quality, sucked at taking pics back then).

I wanted to stalk the community and hopefully contribute something which I eventually did, in the form of good quality maps. But my First thought was " Oh my gosh! More skyscrapers than the defaults =OO!" But yea. I didn't want to lurk for too long so eventually I started popping in and out of chat and CJ's.Still do too.

I love your cities style, it makes great use of the perma-grid of Sc4, alot of your DLcontent I love so much, and your seawalling is excellent. I cannot wait for your next update :D

nah, they didnt forget, some of us just didn't read the part that this planning is for the purpose of playing simcity and not for real world application, i agree, in simcity this plan does look pretty neat so keep it up, im gonna experiment to see if i can find some nice combinations on my end

I live in a Suburb, Its quiet. No one plays outside much. Usually a few people my age, but they stay inside their rooms all day. Nothing to do but sit in my room as a result since there's nowhere to hang out. It takes 15 minutes to walk to my bus stop. It takes 90 minutes from my bus to the school. By car Its a 20 minute drive to nearest gas station, 50 minutes to Walmart. My closest friend is 30 minutes by car. I rode my bide took nearly 3 hours x_x . I would just love to walk to all these places in less than five minutes, especially school, i have to wake up at 5:00 in the morning just to get ready for the bus wich comes at 6:00 to get to school at 7:30, that's 2 hrs and 30 min off my sleep thanks to long commute >_>;; And also, I used to live in Philly and do you know how convenient and awesome it is to be able to walk to a corner store only 40 seconds slow walk away ???? I'm so moving away from this or I'll go insane Dx

Oh yea, Japan, 1997?? my dad was playing simcity2k on our neighbors old cpu, and i saw a tornado in his city, i was like wow this looks nice, couples years after that never thought of the game, then i got SC2k for the PS1, i was like, hey, i remember this game then i played for 2 years on that, finally stopped cuase of boredom, went to a store and discovered the electronics section(yeah, dont get out much ) i finally saw what looked like a SC4deluxe and i was like, NOWAY?, got it immeddiately looked at the back of the case, bought it, took it home, played, got cunfused, then learned, and now i love it all XD

heh, you "plant" islands like i plant faces, perfect. =D nice CJ....................nah, needs to be called a NJ( Nature Journal )

this is nice......keep it up, i like the no-suburbs-thus-far-plan your doing =)
