The zones are jsut what I got when i clicked and held to make them... I like to look it at as the sims that live there telling me exactly what they want in a house or place of business... My thinking for placing all of the services at the beginning is that I had all these small empty spaces in the city and I figured if I covered all the bases right from the start I wouldn't need to worry about adding in many municipal strucures later on... I am still getting stuck with having to place the High School College and University jsut so I can begin to get any real nice types of development (HT CO$$$) Also when should I add some new zones , of what type, and where? I have ran with the city not adding any new zones, it fillls with nice large mansions but they all become dilapidated evantually...

heres a small planned city with all of the most basic municipal services

Impressive and ambitious plans, nice, i really like!!

try to use hardware rendering mode

quad core processor 8gb of ram and a good graphics card that can support hardware mode is essential

I think it will be better than Cities XL 2011

thats dope foreal bruh

i think theoretically if people had to they could go back to farming in their backyards, and maybe some urban farming like in detroit could be uitlized

hey guy i like to build r1 cities too maybe just keep the region at 80k population?

That was a hell of a night

friggin awesome work here

i really got a big kick out of the maxis trailer for rush hour

Well, it depends on your goal. Mine currently is to do a total restart and to take it slowly. I am retired and can fool around with this as much as I like. As far as water table pollution goes, industry does the same. If it bothers you, put in a water purification plant as soon as you can afford it. As for waiting for money, while I don't need to (moolah), currently, I am just adding what I can afford and staying in the black. There is absolutely no rush. Little communities like mine may take a couple of hundred years just sleepily moseying along before they branch out into something more. The seaport is the export sink for my freight from the industry and farms. It saves making a neighbor connection when I am in the middle of a large tile like this one. I think it is cheaper than laying down a long street/road. Healthcare is definitely later. I don't much care if the farms cause everyone to have Lime's disease. I can cure it with a wave of my godhead. I think my next step with this tile will be to plant another town on another part of the tile, and then just let them coalesce naturally when they bump into each other. Right now my CBD is the low occupancy commercial street just above the seaport, between the port and the industrial pod. I may up the zoning on that and let the chips fall where they may. One of the things that many players do not catch on to right away is that this can be a very much leisure time game, with all the time in the world to achieve a goal. People who rush to make a huge metropolis full of buildings and people are living the wrong life style, and may very well harm themselves from all the haste and angst. It's just not worth it. This is an endless game, a never-ending story. Take your time and be happy. Mr anonymoose you are truley a professional !!!!

the answer to number 1 is left and right arrow keys

Wow. It really looks awesome.

Hey all! I wish to build a vast monorail network that carries people all over the country.im a $%&^! at monorail. Please halp me!!! the monorail netwprk is to connect the large cities to the small cities the building of these rails is subsidised by the mass transit capabilites (why is newb a filtered word?) Just FYI: The filtered word has been know to be used in a derogatory manner. Hence it is filtered. -CaptCity

Unless you want to get in there an mod the mod, there is a speed limit on all network items. If you want quick inter-city transit without cars use monorail. Don't forget the parking garages at the pickup end, and buses at the destination end. I'd show you, but my system had a hiccup today and I lost my entire region. Had to start over, but I have some new ideas, anyway. I understand if you need time to to mourn... LOL. jokes aside, sorry about your region. and thanks for the advice and support!

Okay then. I want to build a lareg autobahn like highway sytem, no speed limits, thinking of using RHW 4

Can you post a picture? and tell me how it's done? It's simple: Just keep zoning. Zone as much land as you can, then when you start making money, put in water and upgrade it to high density so the whole thing turns into one big high-rise slum. I read yuo loud and clear.
