  1. SimCity 4 Is Still Great

    Somnolence commented on Haljackey's article in News

    To add: SC4 community was very much active when NAM was first released. NAM is what kept the community alive (and hopefully it will for many years to come!)
  2. NAM is truly wondrous. Hereby I want to thank all present and past NAM developers for being so dedicated to this great non-profit project.

    Yes, when I was writing that very reply, what helped was a refresh. Still, all glitches are either errors in software or errors in hardware. It's definitely not hardware, so it's something about the site. Nothing urgent, but I think some debugging could solve this (I have no idea about web development though, so I doubt I can help. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

    The issue happens to me, but only sometimes. I have no idea why.

  5. What are you reading?

    Somnolence replied to Barbarossa's topic in General Off-Topic

    I don't dedicate as much time as I'd like, to reading. In the past few months I've been reading "We" by Yevgeniy Zamyatin. 10/10 would recommend to whoever likes Orwellian dystopic books.

  8. Okay, so apparently, even though I have sufficient landfill capacity, my citizens are still complaining about garbage. For obvious reasons, I place my landfills out of town. Does this mean that landfills and incineration plants have a range (like hospitals and such)? If so, are there any mods that can change this? I mean, it's very unrealistic. pls halp

  9. Garbage management has a range?

    Somnolence replied to Somnolence's topic in Cities: Skylines General Discussion

    For hospitals it would actually make a little sense that they have a range, but for landfills, not at all. I think you're right.
  10. People who play SimCity and related games just for disasters are pure evil. I wish them a lifetime of CTD's.

    Hello everyone. This is my first attempt at making a realistic map in SC4Terraformer. It contains rivers, mountains, a lagoon, a volcano and whatnot. Basically this map is supposed to have something for everyone. Some parts of it may have been too rough (I overused the erode tool), but hopefully you'll enjoy this. Below you can see the overview of the map in Terraformer, and in Mapper (with cities overlay), respectively. Enjoy! EDIT: Please provide feedback, I would appreciate that very much! Thanks in advance!

    I almost fell for it. Almost.
  14. I have a laptop with Windows 8.1 on it, and I've played SC4 on it with no difficulties. Now, I've reinstalled Windows (I have a 64bit machine but the OS was 32bit), I've installed SC4 again, but now it doesn't work for some reason. I wish I could give more details, but all that happens is: I click on the icon If I don't run it with admin privileges, it requests them If I do run it with admin privileges, it does nothing. And by nothing I mean, literally nothing. No process running, nothing. I've tried running it without plugins, I've tried reinstalling it, but neither of those worked. I have SC4 Deluxe, CD version. Any help would be appreciated.

  15. SC4 used to work - but not anymore?

    Somnolence replied to Somnolence's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    Basically what I did was: @echo off sc start secdrv start SC4Launcher.exe sc stop secdrv The first line prevents the command prompt from opening (not necessary, but convenient). The second line runs the process, so the game could work. The third line launches the actual game (depending on where your bat file is stored, and whether or not you run the game without the launcher, it could look something like: start "C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe"). The last line kills the process, just in case.

    Somnolence replied to Somnolence's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    Yes, I've made a bat file that turns it on, launches the game, then turns it off. (bat is essentially the same as cmd, right?) Ah, that's what it's for. Yeah, I think I should remove it. Thanks again and best regards!

  17. SC4 used to work - but not anymore?

    Somnolence replied to Somnolence's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    I use this SC4 launcher thingy. It allows for additional launch parameters to be added, so I added "-IgnoreMissingModelDataBugs:on". Although, I see what may have been the problem. The Reddit thread mentions something about "secdrv". After googling it, I see that it's exactly the SafeDisc process that is supposed to solve the problem. (now I see that the parameter I added doesn't have anything to do with this, lol). So I opened the command prompt, started the SafeDisc service, and now it does work. Thanks for the help. It'd be a shame if one of the best games ever, stopped working.

    Somnolence replied to Somnolence's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    I've seen this identical reply on another thread, but it didn't seem to work. Okay, I would definitely not buy SC4 or any other non-Origin game on Origin, but how can I redeem it without buying it? How can I exactly enable it?
  19. I've seen some cities with turn lanes, just like TULEPs from NAM. I'm not sure if there's a mod for this. If so, which one is it? I figure this would require a transition from a regular street to an asymmetrical one, but as far as I know, all transitions are either abrupt (2 lane road to 3 lane road) or they look like intersections (2 lane road to 4 lane avenue). All in all, how to do this?

    Somnolence replied to Somnolence's topic in Cities: Skylines Modding - Open Discussion

    I think I have that one, I just thought there was more to it
  21. Okay, so recently I was playing C:S, everything was fine, I started a new suburb, and I've noticed that, regardless of RCI demand, nothing that I've zoned would build. Also, I've noticed that when I enter the Policies menu, it doesn't show. It just exits from any other menu I've selected before, but it doesn't show the menu. I understand that this is very likely caused by a mod, but I'm not sure what exactly happened, because I haven't installed any new mods when it happened. Is there anything known to cause this? I don't know what to do, because this makes the game essentially useless. EDIT: I unsubscribed from Building Themes and the zones started working. Not sure about policies, though.

  23. That's definitely not the case here, because I have a lot of public buildings and everything needed in the area.

  24. Introduction and overview

    Somnolence posted a City Journal entry in Project North Gorton

    This area, formerly known as Industry City, used to be an industrial area for the city of Blacktower (unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot of it). However, it was extremely polluted, and badly connected to Blacktower, and also the neighboring city Gorton. Let's make something better out of it. The first thing to do was connect the highway from Gorton to a major boulevard in Blacktower. Here's a picture of it. Now, let's do some more infrastructure (and also, some decorations). Let's take a look at what is about to become our first residential zone: There it is! A couple of bus stops won't do any harm. Okay, so now we have a connection between Gorton and Blacktower, and also a little suburb with a good connection to both cities. Let's have an overview of other parts of Gorton: central Gorton - a metropolis full of skyscrapers: South Gorton - a modern suburb with buildings which vary from tiny houses to high-rise buildings: Let me know what you all think, and see you next time.

    To be honest I don't understand what you mean. Is that a good thing and how do I change it?
