  1. Rail connections

    To get the freight to pass through you neighbor connections a few things must be in place. 1) You must have a significant amount of industry in this city. (a 2x2 block isnt going to cut it) 2) The railroad/freight station must be closer to the industry than any other neighbor connection. Otherwise the frieght will leave the city thru the closer connection. Remember seaports count too. 3) You dont have to do anything on the other end (in the second city), the game doesnt care if you build a massive web or a single line it will treat the connection the same in city one. Hope this helped!
  2. Mountain Roads - A Mini Tutorial by Rochefort

    Great tutorial! I believe there was a senic overlook on the stex not too long ago. Add one of those to this and a ranger station. Then you'd have a State Park/National Forest.
  3. University Phases

    yeah, i always wondered about that too. Try asking around over at the BAT/modding forum and see if someone is willing to take it on. Good luck
  4. Washburn Water Tower

    I live in Minnesota, is that in washburn (as the title would suggest). It'd be kinda cool to see this thing for real. Great work, too, I've been ignoring the water tower craze but i might have to get this one...
  5. undecomosable 2x2 landfill

    make the land fill bigger, import trash whatever it takes until the landfil is 3x3. then, disconnect all the roads, export trash etc... eventually it will start to decompose, dont dezone anything until it is all gone. this works for me when i have this problem, hope you have similar success

  12. One-ways appear as white blocks

  13. I have some questions

    Check out the omnibus for more details on alot of the things you asked about. It has tutorials and walkthroughs. Its near the bottom of the toolbar on the left side of the screen. Best wishes
  14. commercial on avenues?

    I think it is based on volume. So really what you want to do is separate the industries and residential with commercial. Or otherwise force people to go thru downtown. Good luck. O yeah, [edit], if you allow the road to go over capacity it will generate more pollution, and actually decrease the office development.
  15. I built a new city because I wanted to try out the monorail. Its a large city divided into thirds by 2 rivers. the top and middle third are connected by monorail, and the line continues into the industrial zone farther south. Why wont the sims use the monorail? When i route queried it said every sim in the city was using it (duh, no roads connect the sections), but a few months later, no dice. No job zots invade. I just recently purchased rush hour so if i am missing a mod/patch/fix or something fill me in! thanx in advance for help! hehe shifty eyes...

  21. Steel Venom

    This is a great idea. Do you take requests to make real roller coasters? Could you make a model of "Top Thrill Dragster?" http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/inside_park/rides/thrill/ttd/index.cfm
