      It's going to take a lot more than a few rains/storms for California to recover. What we need is a snowpack on our mountains on our mountains as well as at least five wet winters.

      Adding to Haljackey's comment a rapid surface run-off on dry barren ground would strip off even more top soil.

      Yeah in the LA area mudslides will be a problem and yeah there needs to be more snow; that's probably more critical than rain but still anything helps

  4. Question About Microsoft Train Simulator

    For anyone out there who has played MSTS: In the enginner's handbook for MSTS it says for the Maria's Pass route that the Amtrak Empire Builder train can sometimes appear as an AI train. Does anyone know which activity(s) do(es) the train appear in?
  5. The Simtropolis Annuarians Club

    Today is the 5th anniversary of me creating my account on Simtropolis. I remember back in 2009 when i created the account I was in 8th grade and now I am doing my undergraduate studies towards my bachelor's. Can't believe so much time has gone by both on this site and in my life.
  6. Exactly 5 years ago to this day is the day I decided to join Simtropolis; it has been an awesome 5 years with this community!

  7. One of the things I dislike about the new simcity is that transit buildings(Such as bus stops and maglev) decrease land value; this gets really annoying and prevents me from putting such buildings in high-wealth areas. I would really appreciate a mod to remove that(In other words, modify transit buildings so that they have zero effect on land value)
  8. (Sorry for the late reply-i've been busy in the past week) My computer specs: Sc13 Mods In general, the city has about 175k people, it is in the Discovery Delta region(Has like 1.3 million people). So far this is the only place I have noticed this bug. Note I also turned down all graphics settings to lowest(Because my computer can't handle big cities with sharp graphics)
  9. Today I went into a city in a region i have not entered in several months. Within that city there is a tram-in-avenue that crosses the river. When i originally built this city I upgraded the bridge to suspension, and I recall then it was working fine. Today when I was in the city, i noticed that the tower is not aligned properly with the cables. I'm not sure if this a problem with my computer or what, but has anyone else experienced this?
  10. Maxis References

    Wow I love this thread so much; finding out where all the RL(If possible) buildings from Simcity in general is fun to do(When I was connecting through Frankfurt International Airport back in 2012 from California-Italy, I had to crane my neck and camera taking off to the south to get a photo of the skyline because i knew those buildings were in the game)
  11. SimCity - Memes / Jokes

    I actually thought of that at first, but i thought my idea fit much better with the meme. Maybe later i'll make a meme version of PS Not sure if anyone has posted this yet; was going through the Gordon Ramsay meme page on Knowyourmeme(I spend a huge amount of time on that website) and found this SimCity 2013 launch controversy reference: http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/531357-gordon-ramsay
  12. Desktop.. Everyone has one of these!

    Here's my desktop; the photo shows the pueblo ruins at Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. Note that I auto-hide the taskbar(And there is nothing attached to it permanently); also how I aligned the SimCity icons at left
  13. London Recreation

    Wow this is a city recreation I have never seen before! Good luck with this CJ!
  14. SimCity 3000 OFFICIAL THREAD

    Hmmm well I dunno I tried it at the aforementioned location and still land values wouldn't get to acceptable levels. Also i hate to say this but it would have probably ruined the concept of a "Downtown"(Aka more services means less room for skyscrapers) But anyways, here's the rest of the images I put together from SC3k: Here's my recreation of Washington, D.C. In my opinion, didn't turn out too bad but it still has some issues Here's the downtown of a European-style city I made Here is my recreation attempt at NYC; like with the Dubai-styled city, despite plopping lots of services and parks i've had trouble getting land values up to allow big skyscrapers(Also a bummer that highways cannot tunnel, hence the bridge) A mosaic shot of my largest city to date(It is actually a heavily modified terrain version of the Riverfront starter town); at the max is has had around 575k sims and I continue to grow it out(But unfortunately it has been suffering through the so-called "Great Depression" of SimCity 3000) And finally from another SC3k work, I recreated(To the best of my abilities) the town center of a famous movie town. Can anyone guess the movie? (Hint look at the building on the square-that should give it away immediately) To wrap this up, I can't believe how long I have been playing this game(Since I was like 7/8 years old, now i'm a freshman in college), how great it is(IMO it is my favorite among the simcity games) and that the disc has survived this long without dying(
  15. Berate one image

    Why does the rail track at right end like that with no stop point?? I can bet the odds are 1 to 1 that a train will fail to stop in time and crash into the nice pedestrian mall you have there! Here's a recent image from my (Retired) CJ. Lets see what you can all do:
