It's because you build plenty of cyberpunk buildings. Remove some of them to take the ordinary street look back.

"Although it would be quite unrealistic in the world" Don't forget that we are talking about a game, not a real world simulator, that allows you to build anything you want. Besides a futuristic city in Simcity 4 is much more realistic than a Fun City in Simcity Societies. "a utopia without cars just public transpotation" You can still use your car, but will be just useless. With subway, heavy rails under, El rail over roads, taxis and buses, you just don't need to take a car :-) "That looks terrible. whered you get such a stupid idea " I guess that you have a much better idea than mine, but why you didn't show it to us? Post your idea and i will comment it. Don't worry, i will be polite and i will explain my comments.

Great islands everyone :-D

it isn't reality and you have compulsorily to cheat to have this If i want reality, i turn on the television and watch the news . Also many players use mods, cheats and money trees to build anything they want without caring about the cost. Considering real life situations, this idea could work, depending on the actual population situation. With huge buildings like that, parks would definitely allow enough room to breathe. In addition, it would decrease the "heat island" effect so often seen in dense downtowns. It appears to be a futuristic eco-friendly utopian idea, which is very intriguing. At the old days of Simcity 3000 i didn't just playing around and building cities, but also i design urban utopias. Some were my ideas, others were inspirited from others. Here is one of my designs: The same tradition in Simcity 4, not only games but also suggests for a better future If people wanted open spaces that hold more people they would continue building strip malls and suburbs. In a place that you need plenty of open spaces and as more Sims as possible at the same time, strip malls and suburbs will not be the solution. To me it almost feels "empty" without spaceships and hover-cars etc., because as I have mentioned it looks futuristic and utopian. Now you are in my mind But for a practical city, especially in SimCity, I don't think that it's a great idea. If you want an eco-frendly city of the future, because Simcity 4 begins at the year 2000 and never ends, why not?

A better presentation of my experiment. A lagger view. I use these buildings to show you a better idea, so please don't complaint about the buildings themshelf Plenty of open space, with lot's of parks and other buildings like polise stations and bus stops Skyscrapers and heavy rail under road (with station ) Taxis and El rail over road. Public transportation is vital, so you can go to your work without using your car And why not? An avenue with tram I hope that you like it. I didn't use any of your advise not because i don't like them but because i want to show you my ideas. Comments are welcomed

Less room means more demands for tall buildings, and you end up with urban jungle. This is what i want to avoid, cities that Sims feels more like prisoners than citizens. I have these ideas maybe because I'm living in a city without any skyscraper, but it doesn't that i dislike them. Maybe my project look unrealistic, but don't forget that Simcity is a game ;-) More images are coming soon, showing a better view of my experiment :-) And the El over road station is at http://www.bripizza.net/sc4/namStaover/namStaover.html

"Well... do you have money cheats? A huge district of that is going to be very expensive." I have the Simoleon RH mod, so no need for cheating ;-) "Maybe clustering some skyscrapers, but surrounding them with green belts that also serve as transportation networks between clusters may work too" I know what you mean, good idea :-) "kinda leaves to much open air maybe put freeways passing by and non maxis parks atleast" For my cities i want plenty of open space and not too much density for the buildings. I like Maxis parks but you can replace them with anything you like, like landmarks and extra custom parks. But passings for the pedestrian is a great idea :-D "And repeating buildings is lame. Have some variety." The buildings that i select are plopable structures just to give you a little taste of what i mean. But i totally agree with you, the same skyscrapers again and again it's extremely boring. My idea will be much better with grownable buildings :-) "Maybe instead of three large park areas and a skyscraper in a 2x2 section put in a line of plazas or something around the actual sky scraper. That would make an 8x8 or 9x9 block and leave open space, but it'll also look less open." Sorry my friend but I'm a bit confused, maybe because my English are a bit terrible. Can i have an image of what do you mean?

More stations :-D http://www.bripizza.net/sc4/285sta/285sta_c.html#ek http://www.usamimi.info/~wataw/batlod

Parkopolis style is great. I will try to make my cities like Parkopolis :-D

And not only :-) http://www.bripizza.net/sc4/namStaover/namStaover.html http://www.bripizza.net/sc4/285sta/285sta_R.html

There are no words to describe this masterpiece Ευγε! means "bravo"

Come to Hellas, the best nation for the best parties Too bad that my home is too small

Hello I'm thinking about downloading grow able building because i am a bit bored watching the same buildings again and again. So i have 2 questions. 1) These addons will replace the Maxis buildings or will add new buildings to the game? 2) Will be there some bugs and problems with these structures? I'm interest to download industrial buildings and i don't want to face problems.

Thanks for the advices :-D

Excellent job, now Simtropolis is much more cool :-D

Originally posted by: SimGoober Generally speaking the "Phantom slider bug" is caused one of two ways : 1) Badly modded lot of the same type in the city 2) Changing the stats of a plop lot with the slider in it after it has been plopped in a city.quote> 1) That means buildings that replaces the Maxis power plants? 2) That means modification of the building? Sorry for the stupid questions.

However I didn't even know this thread existed so I can hardly blame him for starting a new one.quote> Oops, i didn't know that Originally posted by: Barbarossa Actually, the oldest fossilized evidence of life on Earth is <600 million yrs. a long time surely, but there is little proof for life beyond 1 billion yrs.quote> According to Wikipedia, the oldest ancient fossil microbe-like objects are dated to be 3.5 Ga (billion years old), just a few hundred million years younger than Earth itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_life Originally posted by: BarbarossaIn this aspect, I think a definition of "advanced" is in order. Let's keep in mind that there is no ladder of development of life. There is something more akin to a tree of life. If we want to discuss "advanced", then let's take a good long look at the animal kingdom. Many, if not most, species in existence today are advanced for the environment in which they live. Human interaction has impacted this balance, though, and many animals are unable to adapt. Regardless, are we advanced because we have consciousness (elephants recognize themselves in a mirror)? Are we advanced because we use tools (chimpanzees use sticks to collect termites, crows drop shells from a height to break them)? What is a civilization? Does a pride of lions not constitute a society? Are ants or bees uncivilized, given their behavior?quote> It's true that intelligence in not oneway for a specie to survive. According to Darwin, the species must be enable to react at the changes of the environment no matter how strong or smart they are. Now let's see the other animals and how advance they are. It's true that elephants recognize themselves in a mirror and they even recognize the dead elephants and even mourn for them. Monkeys also recognize themselves in a mirror but... do you know that dolphins use names to recognize its other? Humans are not the only animals with names Chimpanzees and other animals can use tools to find food and build their homes, but humans can create more sophisticated tools Lions and not only are social animals, but not as social as humans. Humans were nomads, but with the development of agriculture can build cities and become more social Ants and bees can not create art or science, 2 vital elements to create a civilization like our But remember that humans are the only animals that can protect or destroy their home planet. If we are as smart as we think, why we have wars and pollution? Originally posted by: BarbarossaOnly technology allows for anything remotely "superhuman". Remove it and it is quickly evident how imperfect the human race really is... diseases "cured" by a pill will reassert themselves, common ailments become debilitating, knowledge and communication collapse, etc.quote> This is true, without technology humans will be doomed to vanish. We need to learn that we and our civilization can live with respect with the environment. We must protect our planet, not destroy it. How? http://www.thevenusproject.com/ Originally posted by: BarbarossaClarke was brilliant, but there is a reason why his writings are called science fiction. It is all conjecture and dependent on things beyond our control.quote> I think that this quote is not only for science fiction. We all ready have technologies that are "magical" for primitive humans. Ancient people would not explain how a helicopter works and maybe believe that this is a magic vehicle for gods. That's why i believe in technologies indistinguishable from magic and ever from goddess. Who knows? Originally posted by: BarbarossaThe simplest answer is "I don't follow your train of thought". Just my opinion, mind you.quote> No problem

Hello Many of us believe in God, many of us don’t. But let’s suppose that there is God. What is God? Is like our religions said… or something else?In my opinion, what we call “God” is a state of intelligence, a matter of evolution. Let me explain what I mean. An Amoeba is a single organism, without senses like vision and without intelligence. Even if it has a brain, it can’t imagine creatures more advance than itself. The time distance between amoebas and us is about billions of years. A bird is much more advance than amoebas. It has senses and a limited intelligence, but it doesn’t have our abilities. The time distance between us and the birds is about millions of years Humans are the most advance animals on Earth, because we are the only that create tools, develop a civilization and begin space exploration. It’s also the only animal that can chance its future. In the near future, robotics and genetics will transform us from humans to superhumans with more advance physical and mental abilities. We must use these transhumanistic technologies with caution and responsibility to create a future utopia for us and the Earth, if we want to live longer. But how about in the far future? Remember Arthur Clarke’s quote “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. I believe that in the next millions or billions of years, we will have abilities so advance that our sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from GODDESS! And is there something beyond Goddess? Why not? And guess what. According to Michio Kaku, a hyper-advance civilization can create a new artificial universe like our own! So are we living in an artificial universe, created by... alien gods? It sound like "Space Odyssey"? Believe my, for me this is the most logical explanation about what is God. Molecules --> Life --> Intelligence --> Goddess --> Who Knows? What is your opinion? Remember that i don't want to harm anybodie's believes, i just want to tell my believes Moved from own topic. -SC4M

Hello We have puzzle pieces for streets, roads, avenues, heavy ground rail, el rail and monorail. We have also puzzle pieces for new transportation systems like underground heavy rail, elevated heavy rail, el rail, monorail, light ground rail (tram) and rural highways. So I'm wondering... how about puzzle pieces for the subway rail system? How about curves, over-underpasses and maybe some other tricks for the subway system?

Great colonies everyone :-D I wish we could have normal Simcity and SimMars Mod at the same time, having Earth regions and Mars regions :-)
