I have played sc4 in the past (from 2004). A month ago I grabbed the game again and started to build new regions (old ones were gone). I have built big cities and regions, downloaded some custom content and mods and built more regions with them. I have built even more cities using cheats. Still there is a thing that is not accomplished. The game has no challenge and it's just city-building. Balancing the expenses is not an issue even on a new region. Later when region is developed, I will just end to HUGE profits on every city. Is there any way to make the game more challenging? Ps. Downloading custom content is surely fun, but it takes time to find good buildings (and their loads of dependencies) and I have to load them one by one. That results same maxis buildings (and few custom) to grow over and over again to every city i build. Are there any building packs (Like R$$$ building pack including several generic but realistic-to-scale buildings)

That is something awesome. I don't think I could ever do the same. I started a new region a week ago. (The smallest I could find from Maxis regions). I builded a central city and I'm planning to build suburban areas later

Thank you all who have replied here. Did not think that there are so many players active here. I am using currently NAM which acts like a cheat. I have half million resident cities with only roads and subways under them(station on every block). There are absolutely no traffic jams because NAM allows much more traffic congestion than vanilla. NAM makes the sims to commute more wisely. In vanilla most of the residents used car but in NAM they use mostly public transport (less pollution). In vanilla I could have loads of abandoned hi-rises and high commuting times the capacity of the traffic system was limited and most sims commuted long distances within the city. I have all kind of schools in my cities (Education raises to 200 quickly). Mad Hatter must have read my thoughts or something else. I downloaded the packs and the building diversity within the small offices has increased significantly. Still there are no skyscrapers in those packs (I tend to spam high-density commercial). I downloaded your packs as well. They fit welll and increase the building variety on low and medium density zones.
