My Thoughts 1. Full 3d - This actually sounds like a really bad idea. It would be much harder to code 3d graphics, and would be extremely taxing on the system, and there seems to be barely any benefit to doing so. 4-8 viewing angles would offer enough ways to view a city, and allow significant reductions in code. 2. Spline based roads - Definitely something we should add. But straight roads at various angles should be left to, so I propose a method of making roads by placing two points, connecting them with a straight road. Then you can place splines to change the shapes of the curves, and eventually press a button or something to finalize the road, which would place it. We should also include options to make curves that are perfectly circular, to avoid frustration. Another good idea would be to save each curve and allow the player to reselect it and change options, such as number of lanes, so it would be easier to upgrade streets to road, road to avenue, etc. 3. The Free Grid - I think the grid should be left in, but instead of making rigid tiles, it should be more like a plane, where objects take up space on the plane but are bounded by verticies and curves. For example, a curved road would take up the space x/2 meters on either side of the curve drawn to build it, where x is how wide a real road is.Buildings could be bounded by verticies. All points should be in decimal values, so you can truly place anything anywhere, as long as it does not overlap anything. So a building could be bounded by the points (3.454, 5.23) (3.454,7.23) (6.454, 7.23) (6.454, 5.23) rather than (3,5) (3,7) (6,7) (6,5) like it would in SC4.

It looks good so far. I want to see how it turns out.

The Flood of Jupiter reminds me of something I wanted to make myself for SC4, but I would need to make many mods, custom maps, custom ploppables, and the region would be a circle with radius of 150 km, which is about 17,671 medium cities. I wonder how long it would take to render that..........

I think I can do that, but it takes a lot longer to make.

This is a really amazing city journal, the best I have seen.

By request, I have made an SC4 vanilla compatible version of my mod (I think). I haven't tested it because I have RH installed but I beleive it should work. For people having the bus funding to 0 problem- I have made the school radius big enough so that even if the funding is at 0, you can place it in the center of a medium map and it will still cover the whole map. I plan to make a version of this mod that effects all services, including schools, health, police, and fire. All of those have unrealistic radii in SC4.

I hear myself laughing as I watch Futurama.

Laugh at it because I think stuff that makes no sense is funny. What would you do if you whenever talked, the came order words out wrong in?

You play for many days straight. You lose your job, and your life. You make the best city ever during this time, forget to save, and it crashes so you have lost everything. What's the worst thing that could happen while taking a test?

You are digging with a spade and cut your foot off. What's the worst thing that could happen while washing your hands?
