Grids make a city real?
bigthing replied to Kusajika Yachiru's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Liverpool- NOPE London- NOPE Manchester- NOPE Chester- NOPE Birmingham- NOPE Leeds- NOPE Norwich- NOPE Ipswich- NOPE As you can see we in england dont like the grid system's. Were far too complicated :-D -
I got my copy of duluxe of ebay for 99p (free P&P)

My life revolves around rails, i travel on them near enough everyday, i even design railways using CAD (TRS2009 :-D). I do use it in the game but dont really make huge junctions or stations as i have only just started to make more realistic cities.

doesn't anyone know where a mod or something to fix this is??

Well first of all, Welcome to Simtropolis!! The first thing you will need to download is the latest NAM (Network Addon Mod). This gives you loads more options for transport- roundabouts, new highway intersections, Trams, elevated road/1-way road/avenue - Be careful when downloading though. On one of the pages there are options, be sure to click the LEFT HAND PLUGIN if your cars drive on the left hand side of the road. Also it is probably best to choose Simulator Z -medium , that is a traffic simulator and improves the way your sims move about. NAM- https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21355 (PC) https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21373(MAC) There is another site you should register to Its SC4 Devotion (https://www.sc4devotion.com/) The LEX there is alot like the STEX here also the following addon is based there. Be aware that you need to register to the fourums and the LEX seperatly. CAM- CAM stands for Colossus Addon Mod, what this does is basicly errrm, O.K Buildings have stages that are (MAX in an un-modded game) R-7 C-7 I-5 Ag-1 Each stage has its own set of buildings, the higher the stage the better the building, you ok so far??? CAM changes those stages to R-15 C-15 I-10 Ag-7. This is all good but there are no MAXIS buildings (Buildings that came with the game) that can reach those stages so you have to find CAM and "CAMpatible" buildings on the LEX. Be aware to also download ALL of teh dependencies for everything otherwise you WILL get brown paper boxes growing in your cities. CAM-https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1008 RHW (Rural Highway Project) This is another type of highway that can be compleatly personalised. Example- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REH8OfL_5EE You can create up to 10 lane highways to carry tons of traffic. Also it contains a system called MIS (Modular Interchange System). You create off/on ramps with this, Again completely personalised. RHW:https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=853 https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=853(MAC) SO i have to go to work now but good luck and if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask. If we have anything here its nice people Remember there is no things that you HAVE to download, everything is optional (although i would recommend NAM) and just skim through the STEX and LEX because you never know what youll find and if you download all of the dependencies there normally is nothing to worry about. GOOD LUCK!!

Avenue turning lanes, need an explanation
bigthing replied to usfwoody's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Are you sure its a 4-way junction. They dont work on 3-way's. -
Is anyone capable to create a special bridge?
bigthing replied to :hello_world:'s topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Its a bummer yeah. Maybe in Sim City 5 (if its ever going to come out) that would be possible. You no, if maxis took the info on all of the bug's, all of the suggestions, and put it into the game it would be the best in the world! We, the people of Simtropolis, have dona alot of the work for creating the new version. We deserve to be payed for our service to them. Sorry i'm rambling on again oh well -
GLR-in avenue/road border connections
bigthing replied to bigthing's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Maybe it has something to do with the traffic patterns on the pieces themselves. I suppose when you create a connection in game that is known as a connection even if you change the programing of the connection itself. If that makes sense. I dont acctually know anything about the programming of the game itself (other than it has a load of bug's in it :-P), but i thaught i would give it a stab in the dark. -
How do you get skyscrapers?

GLR-in avenue/road border connections
bigthing replied to bigthing's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Thanks for the answers everyone!!! Do you think it was modded to work like that or did it just work?? Originally posted by: ROFLyoshi And I see you've replaced your sig... hmmm...quote> U seem somewhat disappointed Originally posted by: TEG24601 Excellent. Now all we need is a piece to allow Tram-in-Avenue to cross Rail at grade, and I'd have no more jury-rigging in my cities. TEGquote> I agree, in the next NAM maybe? fingers crossed :-) -

How do you get skyscrapers?
bigthing replied to mayor_brando's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
mod's do help loooooads. I would recommend CAM, it basicly raises the maximum stages for buildings from (R-7 C-7 I-3 AG-1 (i think)) to (R-15 C-15 I-10 AG-7) for this to work effectively you need to download the buildings made by the CAM team or buildings that are "CAMpatible". I takes about an hour to download all the dependencies (varies with internet and SC4 Devotion server speeds) But don't let that put you off. This changed the skylines of my cities dramaticly with higher, better looking, modern, and some real life skyscrapers. CAM:- https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1008 Also you should get a demand MOD Radical Ordinance:- https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21318 Super demand Ordinance :-https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21299 Hope this helps, I would say that is the basics Good Luck!! -
Is anyone capable to create a special bridge?
bigthing replied to :hello_world:'s topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Well i can help with the bridge. I know that that is impossible because the traffic simulator would go haywire Hope this helps :-) -
I got mine of ebay for 99p free P&P lol!!

Its is more than likely the graphics settings. If you just installed the game (i see you are quite new WELCOME TO SIMTROPOLIS) the settings are low. Or if you did just install the updates (as jeffsandychelsea said that could also be the problem) Happy City Building!!

Fire Plane never lands
bigthing replied to nathanscottdaniels's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
I dont use it any more because as El Burro said, it sucks I had to enter UDI and land it manually every time :-( bummer eh? -
Some people requested a picture Here it is Can anyone find a MOD to fix this, its not necessarily a problem but more of a nuisance at the moment EDIT: Forgot to add the picture, silly me!!!
-
You are all really good. I wish i were as good as you all. I hope to get better though :-) (confidence!!)

If the problem is still happening, you can put in a waste to energy incinerator and just turn the funding right down. It wont produce power but still incinerate trash!!

Just wandering. How do you get regions onto the game? Im pretty sure you don't put the file in your plugin folder. (im talking about regions you download btw)
-
That seems way to complicated for me. I think ill stick to my own designs for now :-P
-
Its a pitty they didnt make it an actual transportation option.
