SWAT it has always worked for me in both versions of SimCity I own, both the original I bought here in Canada and the European Deluxe my friend bought me while he was visiting France.

If you want to pony up the additional money that would be required to host images on the site, be my guest. Those of us who live in reality know of many free image sites. I can think of 5 without even checking Google.

I wouldn't recommend using any NAM simulator except for Z, that's your main problem.

Keep in mind SimCity 4 has an entirely different playstyle than all the previous SimCities. You need road access. In the typical urban area in real life around 40-45% of landspace is just roads/streets/highways/various forms of asphalt.

Here's a silly question: Is your power grid all connected?

Have you increased funding on the power plant? You shouldn't even need a 2nd power plant yet in a city of 40,000 unless it's all detached houses.

From what I understand it's generally accepted large city square = 16 square kilometres

Money doesn't mean anything. I get stupid amounts of money monthly from my very profitable mass transit system. Mass Transit and Residential Taxes pretty much funds my entire city. Once you hit 1 million you can pretty much do anything to your city and not go broke, or sooner if you have a large surplus.

Tysons, it's actually really easy to render any custom region size. The only reason to use the terraformer is if it's not a jpeg. Just create a region folder before you even load SimCity in the Regions folder, put the custom config in there, then load SimCity 4. It'll have that region already at the custom size, and you just have to render it at that point.

An old Italian man lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament: Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days. Love, Papa A few days later he received a letter from his son. Dear Pop, Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son. Dear Pop, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you Vinnie

Name something helpful about twitter that I can't find out easier by just visiting Google, Slashdot or BetaNews.

Originally posted by: LE0 How about a mod that makes school buses in the game visible only from -Mondays thru fridays -7 AM-5 PM -September thru early June, and have a Xmas break and spring breakquote> "Weekends" as we know them don't exist in SimNation afaik, the only mention of them so far is in The Sims 2. By default School Buses will only spawn at certain times of day but from what I remember you can't make automata only show up during certain months.

Well so far I went with Urban Renewal first, with no transit improvments besides an Avenue right down the centre of the Residential Sector. Population went up by 40k even though around 50% of the re-built sector is still Stage 5/Stage 6 buildings. Traffic Skyrocketed. Rail Usage surpassed 100k on some stations >.> I think my city is just too high density to not need Ultra, as 300k sims live in a single square kilometre. I'd make Hong Kong proud.

There's no point in using elevated rail as it takes up valuble real estate. The only ones I consider using are Subway, Heavy Rail and Monorail. I'm just not sure if Monorail would actually help this however. EDIT: In Simulator Z at least, Monorail speed is 250, the highest availible, which is why I was considering it. Passenger Rail is 200 at no congestion. Subway and El are 150 each, making El pointless eye candy imo.
