Its gonna be difficult to provide screens since i dont have an internet connection on my laptop (i travel a lot). Im typing from my phone currently. I can see that your city works fine so there might be a way but it seems to me to be a hassle to make that. Plus i dont see megatowers, i bet that if you plop a couple of them there it would start to clog up with traffic. Yes, i use megatowers, i find that for a large city with heavy specialization using just the normal residential buildings dont seem to be enough, my rci demand skyrockets for residents. There just ain't enough room ... Also what you have there in your city is nice when it comes to a flat city tile, how about a city with hills, mountains and different elevations? And one last thing, a clarification, I dont have problems with entrances and exits to the city itself since im using a mod that allows me to build regional roads and avenues which i use to create new connections to my city thus splitting the incoming and outgoing traffic which seems to help with congestion. I have problems inside the city . At first it was just in the mornings and evenings when people would go to work and return from it respectively but as my city grew it reached a point where it all stopped. There were just too many cars coming out of those 3 megatowers i have and my streets couldn't handle them all despite having a different mass transit options available to my citizens

I already have udon and been trying to use the one way streets to alleviate traffic problems but to no avail. Haven't tried to build large interchanges because they take up too much space and space is critical here since city tiles are so tiny.

Hello all, long story short, i haven't played the game in ages and now im having another go at it but i can't seem to avoid my cities from dieing off because of retarded traffic. This was the reason i put away this game in the first place and thought that they might have fixed this issue but i guess hats not the case, they were too busy releasing useless dlcs .. So, i need help with traffic, i tried everything i could think of but nothing seems to help, at some point my whole city just stops and starts dieing because emergency services can't get to their destinations anymore ... Any ideas, suggestions, tip and tricks, mods that i could try? Or is death of cities inevitable? If its impossible then ill put away this game for good and curse myself from buying it in the first place. The game is fun despite its long list of shortcomings, bad game mechanics and bugs but i can't spend hours working on a city and then having to start over again and again because of this issue ...

I play it every day. I think its just far superior to sim city 2013 in almost every way. Huge maps, plenty of room to fight of the traffic problems if there happen to be any (can build huge interchanges and the like and never be worried that you just took more than half of the map doing it), lots of different roads and so on. Plus, the modding community seems to be more alive than ever. Its might have some rough edges like the ui and performance issues at cities with LOTS of population but overall its a great game. Ive been playing it since they tried the online thing, too bad it didnt work, was quite fun.

Well, doesn't matter now, I've started to remember why i stopped playing this game in the first place. No matter what i do the city comes down to a halt due to traffic problems. I have Udon aswell and tried using the one way roads like i used to in sim city 4 and cities xl but it makes no difference, at some point everything just stops, emergency services stop getting to their destinations, fire is rampant throughout my city, people dieing because the ambulances can't get to them etc etc. I thought maybe after a few years they would have fixed the problems with ai and traffic but apparently they did not. Too busy releasing useless dlcs apparently. If you have any ideas and suggestions to give to solve traffic issues or if there are mods that i dont know of that help with that please share. Otherwise im gonna put this game away for good and get back to sim city 4 and cities xl.

Thank you for your replies! I've decided to play with as little mods as possible, most mods dont seem to work that well (or at all), the ones im interested anyways. They dont seem to even load every time i start a new game/city/region. Some do, some dont. Some seem to start working mid game out of the blue ... So confusing.

Its been a while since i played sim city and now i want to try some mods. I have a problem tho, where exactly do you put mods? Some say put them in SimCityData folder and others say to put them in SimCityUserData/Packages folder .... Which one is it? I've heard that putting them in Packages folder might not work but then again I've seen mods that the creators say to never put them in SimCityData folder and others that say the other way around! Im confused. Help!

the airport is surrounded by an avenue (all sides) and i have lots of police there but its still glowing red, as i cant fix this i will let it be ...

i already got the police station gold pack and not only that ,still cant get rid of it

So, i was so glad that my municipal airport was full, so i had to build the international airport wich means more commerce and stuff, anyways, so here i am plopping the airport and after ive plopped it i added a large fire station and a deluxe police station near the airport (my budget allows it) but after some time i checked the crime rate in my city and guess what, my airport became the International Terrorist HeadQuarters lol, it was glowing red on the map, so i went and placed MORE police stations but nothing helps, i tried replacing the airport but the new one turns into red too ... help ? This is the first time it happens in years of simcity 4, i ran out of ideas on how to fix this so here i am posting about it

thank to heitomat and his tip about data packer, the loading times are very low , either when loading cities or when opening build menus great tool

true words my fanatic friend , i've been playing sim city 4 since it came out and i fell in love with custom content, been downloading and creating my custom stuff collection for some years now anyways, and here i was thinking 4 GB are alot, i dont think my machine can handle as much as u have but whatever. I've downloaded some new stuff and im experiencing some nasty CTDs so i decided to delete all plugin folder and start re-re-re-redownload everything (this might take huge amount of time because i intend to go trough all 700+ pages of STEX ), this time maybe organizing everything, cause over the ages the plugin folder became a huge mess of all sorts of files, trying to organize whats inside is equal to suicide lol. nice screen , ive been trying to download bats and lots so i dont see repeating stuff over and over again but failed

well then i think i am one of those "over enthusiastic newcomer" as i have over 4 GB of stuff in plugins folder lol (around 2k-3k files in all)... altho the game works fine and has little to now slowdowns even when opening building menus, i might experience a misterous CTD from time to time but thats bout it, got a plugin that reminds me of saving every 20 min so i aint affraid of CTDs. <------ crazy about awsome looking bats you guys create thank you all for the tips

Thank you.
