Use the terraforming tool for lowering land and create a small hole in the middle of the riverbed. It only needs to be deep enough to cause a bridge tool to appear when you drag a road across so don't go crazy with it. Experiment and you'll get it easily. Hope that helps.

Nice looking map DP. Vandy can give you any help you might need if you encounter any problems in the rendering. I'm looking forward to where you go from here.

There are games and there is real life. Games are meant to be enjoyed for a season, real life is meant to be lived. You richly deserve the best of everything that real life has for you. Thanks for sharing the last two years of your life with us.

Hey, we're doing better. England, Wales and Scotland have been heard from as well as Northern Wisconsin and the Florida Keys. As far as Starbucks is concerned, we have one here in Los Angeles that was torn down in order to build a larger one. I guess they wern't making their quota of lattes.

Originally posted by: micromanager I tried...and I failed. I dezoned every last non-agricultural industrial zone, removed connections to other industrial cities, and zoned some more agriculture in a desirable place. What happened was essentially the Great Depression - no more jobs, people start leaving, etc. I even raised taxes on other industry types - they all decreased, but the Ag demand still stays stubbornly at zero.I have given up. Thanks for trying to help.quote> The game goes in a natural progression from small towns to big cities. Start out with farms and you can keep some of them , if your dilligent, as you grow your cities. Going the opposite way is almost impossible. Sims will not leave the city for farm jobs. They'll just leave completely. Deleting all your industry was a mistake. Even with mostly farms I still have some hitech and medium industry to keep my sims happy. Sorry to hear what happened to your city. Reverse your action and it will probably come back in time. Next time build some farms first.

I agree with JoeMeister on this one. Your missing the trees which are a separate download. Look at the readme file in the city beautification pack for help.

Originally posted by: Rayden Someone even mentioned that the minute you have some Htech Ind grown in your city, you won't have ever have any new farm growing. quote> That's not true. I have high education and high Iq and hitech industry and can grow farms at will. But then I started out with a farming community before zoning for any other industry. I also keep my population low and adjust my tax rate for farm growth. I also use some mods to increase farm jobs and encourage farm growth. High density and farms are not compatible. In order to get larger populations in a farming community you need to decrease funding for education as you increase the population.

thatmonkeysim - #7 is a classic. Yellowlab - Your #2 is probably true of many places across America where politicians think our tax money is their money. Thanks for the wonderful contributions, one and all. Let's keep them coming and I'm with SkiGeek on this. Where is the rest of the world? Surely there must be quirks about the city you live in that only those that live there know about. Everyplace has them.

5. The river is afraid of the harbour's water quality and consequently flows upstream sometimes. Pretty funny

Great to see some additions to my original post. All we need now is for some of you living in other parts of the world to contibute something about where you live. Thanks N_O_Body for adding something about Canada.
