A google search resulted in these options: (not having a mac I can't try them, but you can give them a shot) CMD-M to minimize CMD-Tab to switch windows CMD-H to hide the window And if SC4 isn't using F11 than F11 should bring you to the desktop

I had issues with placing tollbooths directly on the border of my city. I had to place it some squares before. Think I ended up moving 5 squares from the edge just for safety. I didn't experiment extensively, it just seemed the neighbor connection was destroyed by placing a tollbooth at the very edge.

3 beginner questions in descending order of importance
trondaron replied to CA Cash Refund's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Yes, you can transfer the NAM install exe with a usb. Probably (unless blocked by the computer) you can even run the installer from the usb. I started playing without the NAM (I started 2 months ago). After getting a city population up around 20-30,000 and constant in game popups complaining that this or that street/avenue was traffic ridden I spent some time clicking around with the route query tool. The paths that the route query should some of the sims taking blew my mind, so I gave NAM a shot on Z Low, and things cleared up. Using low I still get traffic issues, but they result from things I see as "realistic". You may have seen this already, https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=6812.0 The question What are the different versions of Simulator Z, and how are they used? gives a clear table of the various Z simulator profiles.
