buy a new copy, thats what I had to do. Its not worth the run around when you can just simply spend minimal money to buy a new copy.

Thank you all for the suggestions. i will download the SPAM tonight.

Im sure this has been covered before. Can you hold odwn CTRL and make more visibly appealing farms other than Pumpkin Acres? If so, what sizes can you make? Thanks

I only use streets in my residential, urban areas. Then roads are used to connect busier areas to commerce and industry, then avenues as main thoroughfares for traffic. I like using highways too, but usually only to link up city tiles.

I cant figure out how to post a pic.

One thing that has always worked for me is never giving my sims a service, schools, healthcare, police, until they are practically screaming at me for it. When I finally fullfill the need, growth usually booms in stages.

I usually always utilize the "make historical" feature. It is time consuming, but has allowed me to maintain a nice balance of all types of RCI in all of my cities.

I like making city tiles that have nothing but a highway going thru them. Still, I will usually build an offramp and another short road with a wayside park, playground, and maybe a couple of small businesses. Then I like to name them Junction 9, 10, etc.

I actually have so little time to play that I cant afford to fuss around with water and power, and sometimes money.

Do you have a lot of parks, green space, plazas, etc? If so, a lot of them can be expensive to keep up. Try eliminating some. You might have to take out a loan, but keep building residential. You might have to downsize your city too. If your taxes are that high it scares people away. Lower your taxes and try and even things out.

My favorite thing about SimCity in general is the years and years of entertainment it has given me. The thing I hate about it is never finding enough time to play.

I wish my sims would riot and protest outside of the city hall. Then I could call myself a bad mayor.

Yes, when I leave the game in region view, and go and check my email or something, when I return there is extensive cloud cover. Good idea to shut it off.

Whatever you do, make sure you incorporate bus stops into your cities. This helps with traffic no matter what.

And I, on the other hand, can't remember the last time I actually used a landmark. To each, his own. I'm not sure, but I believe he meant the "Make Historical" feature (which prevents an RCI structure from being replaced by another one automatically) Yes, I meant the "Make Historical" feature. Thanks LOL
