  1. This is a 'Show Us Your X' thread where you may showcase your Government buildings, be it the town hall, the courthouse, the congress, etc. Heres mine, an island containing the buildings of a tricameral Parliament (or Congress, as you see fit): I do note that the parliament is tricameral. The Reichstag serves as the Middle House, and the San Fran City Hall as the Lower House. A shot of all three levels of parliament...plus a utility. A zoomed-out shot of the 'Parliament Island' (I haven't named it). Do note that there is a statue of Napoleon behind the upper house, used to serve as a memorial of some sort. IMO, I think there aren't enough gov't buildings on the STEX...the Great Hall and Reichstag are rather common. And, I am shocked that only the Peace Tower has been made/BATed, and not the rest of my beloved Canadian Parliament! Hehe. Sadly, I cant BAT

  2. Performance

    Schutze posted a topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    Well, so I have this old clunker from 2003, and once i start getting swarms of skyscrapers on about a quarter of a big city tile, I start to lag. And I can't buy a new computer right now, either (I'm in high school, what do ya expect ) And guiltily, I have a whole Honest Ed's of plugins, which adds to the problem for sure. But anyways, how can I maximize my performance on my computer? I don't mind a lack of Sims or Shadows, by the way. Here are my specs: Pentium 4 2.4 GHz 1.5 GB of RAM GeForce 7600 GS, 512 MB 76 GB of Hard Drive space (my iPod is even bigger than that. meh.) Windows XP Professional, 32-Bit help, please Thank you.
  3. I'm certain there has to be some sort of exemplar for the number of city tiles a sim will take for his commute. Sure, I know a 10km+ commute is unrealistic, but I'd use this for experimental purposes Anyways, is there such an exemplar/property? If so, where can I find it? (In terms of traffic simulators, etc)
  4. Ah, excellent. Now I can start making humongous regions. xD

  5. Disaster Mod ideas

    Schutze replied to Quaternus's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion

    Ah, we have a winner here. I've always wanted to mod the volcano. Got an example, by chance? EDIT: It happens I've found a riot exemplar. It also has the 'MousePick Over Water'...perhaps implying this may also work. I've added a make shift Item Icon and Item order exemplar, but nothings happening. Any possible way might might get this baby to work?

  6. Disaster Mod ideas

    Schutze replied to Quaternus's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion

    I hate to bust everyone's bubble, but if i recall, this topic has been covered NUMEROUS times since the start of SC4(even by myself). It won't work by modding with iLive; oh no. You need to mod the .exe of SC4...and I believe that itself brings on a slew of legal issues.

  7. 20,000 Uses for a Sock Full of Spaghetti

    Schutze replied to BuggUla's topic in Forum Games

    I will actually try here...hmm... 401. A bludgeoning object. 402. Another way to eat said spaghetti. 403. A potential stink bomb. 404. Tomato toss substitute. 405. Foot warmer (presuming the spaghetti is fresh of the stove). 406. Fake rabbit ear(s)! 407. Slinging projectile. 408. A substitute for a stocking filled with gifts, come Christmastime. 409. An insect diverter. 410. A 'Do Not Disturb/Keep Out' sign. 411. Cannon ammo. (unfortunately, it won't work in a howitzer) 412. A way to store all your spaghetti. 413. Halloween ornament. 414. A perfect forum game starter. xD

  8. Hello, i'm a...

    Schutze replied to 617squad's topic in Forum Games

    They are the eggmen... I Am a The Walrus. I had to.
  9. Well, I've been tired of listening to SimCity's music since well...foreve (yup...even way back in the SC3K days). I'm asking here, what kind of music out there would be good to build cities with? Or so to speak, what music from outside SC would work with the game? Here are some examples of what I'm trying to get at here: Now, a good example would be Coldplay's "Clocks"...it captures the emotion of surreality and eccentricity. Mainly, it immediately reminds me of the SC3K menu screen. Another somewhat 'surreal' track would include U2's "Pride (In the Name of Love)". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rmGGlznSz8 SC3K at least, is quite known for its cuts of Jazz ("Central Park Sunday", anyone?). "Highway Blues",the ubiquitous sampling of Marc Seale in Windows' OS systems captures the sort of Jazz from SC3K. Hope y'all can get what I'm trying to get at here. Now, of course more genres than songs like these would be real nice...can someone give me a idea for 'suitable' metal in SC4? Hehe. Thanks
  10. Well, I've decided to tinker a bit with iLive for my own personal pleasure, and yup its doing nicely. I've tweaked the 'Super Demand Mod' to fit with CAM, and that's going pretty well. Only problem is-traffic noise is preventing houses from growing so much as offices are popping up like machine gun bullets. Yet, as the house is being constructed on a brand new, empty street, the traffic noise in the UI says 'High'. Can someone explain this?! Also once again, what exemplar modifies traffic noise in the simulator? Thankee

  11. Traffic Noise. What Exemplar Number?

    Schutze replied to Schutze's topic in NAM & Transit Networks

    So does reducing said coefficient lower or raise the noise? Do explain...the definition in iLive is confusing me

  12. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    Schutze replied to JakeMD's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    I am absolutely positive (test) lots of this sort have been floating around the web somewhere... 1x1 one blank lots that have: RCI Ploppables of 10k, 25k, 50k, and 100k pop....yes, even the bugged Residentials. All the way from R$ to I-HT...I need these for experimenting (and sandbox play!). ...I'm asking this because I have no experience at all with the Plugin Manager, or Lot Editor.
  13. Muse! Although I listen to everything

  14. Parkland - Adventures In Realism - Established 2004

    Schutze replied to newyorkrunaway1's topic in SC4 City Journals

    You bet your butts this is realistic. Man, WHAT IS WITH THE HUGE REGION!? Overkill, I gotta say
  15. I still use the lex Dependency Index. But beware...that list is I think two years old. Take for example, Jeronij's props and textures-he's consolidated them into more MEGA packs since that list was made.

  16. Show us your Railroads!

    Schutze replied to akhilles's topic in SC4 Showcase

    Aha, thanks heitomat. Any other sheds/depots you could find? I've been looking all over the place, and could only find two. D:

  17. Show us your Railroads!

    Schutze replied to akhilles's topic in SC4 Showcase

    Whered Briali get his sheds in his pic And his trains? I need to know
  18. well then, pardon the annoying question but, do you have any links/tutorials/suggestions for the Zimulator+CAM when it comes to city design? Id really love it if you could give me some.
  19. I'm using the 'Zimulator' with CAM...you can imagine how hectic that is. How do you reduce traffic noise with these two put together? It's hard to put up fancy residentials like this. Ideas (aside from subways)? Thanks.

  20. BAT Request Thread

    Schutze replied to Jasoncw's topic in SC4 - Custom Content

    I believe the Transamerica is here...somewhere... Anyways, I call on the HK BAT Team to create... The Delia School of Canada! An elementary and secondary private/international school. If you guys made it, it would bring back so many memories when I lived in Hong Kong
  21. Well, I;m at a city with about 360k ppl, and I cannot seem to get R$$$ to grow. I simply want to raise demand through the roof...there are twice as many CO$$$ and CO$$ as residents alone, And I am not even close to the caps yet. A more particular goal is to get those fancy Hong Kong style mega-lots. What should I do? Plop a bunch of CO$$$ plugins? Plop more parks? The super demand ordinance isn't doing enough (I believe I got a CAMpatible one...if it wasn't I still wouldn't be measuring almost 20k demand for some sectors...) Suggestions please! I want to build this city to the point where it burns my processor (hehe)!

  22. Raising R$$$...with CAM?

    Schutze replied to Schutze's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Oh yes, traffic noise. How to lower that exactly? Despite the fact I'm using GLR in Avenue+T-RAM...which is the most used method of transport in the city? (Does mass transit in road cause high traffic noise?)
  23. Thats what I did...the link is broken. I was led to Kazuki's Windows Live Space with his files, then to some site called 'livefilestore', which was broken. :s
  24. thats gonna be real useful. thanks man. on that point, why havent i seen anyone try making at least a direct btm/monorail to subway? cant someone just re-emulate (for the sake of copyrights) caribous work, in the sense of repathing it? i mean, theres already ghsr to subway, glr to subway, elrail to rail...so why not monorail/btm/hsr to any of these? it would be real awesome if someone did. EDIT: oh yeah, tried downloading kazuki's file...it seems to be broken.
  25. ah, those tunnels will be useful. as longs as they connect to subway, im good. cuz obviously, HSR can connect with btm cuz they use the same base rail. thanks, capt
