  1. Anyone else lost interest?

    Yeah, I lost interest because Map designs are uninspiring. This is why we need a way to edit terrain, why limit us to what they have made? Really their regions aren't very good at all, pretty bland and bad. Lot sizes are too small. I had fun making one town on the ONLY lot I could find in the ENTIRE game with some nice hills, but I can't even find desire to build a town on any of the others Parks look like crud. Super bad park designs leave little desire to spruce up a town. Feel that if I do put any effort into the game I'll most likely lose everything due to a roll back / lost city at some point. This game has SO much potential but it's like they don't give a damn enough to give us the BASE we should have. There's so much lack of pride and polish throughout it's insulting. If they fix these issues I might come back and feel that I have a $60 game, right now I feel like this should be a F2P game with paid DLC.
  2. Yes! It's Possible!

    Yeah, that's using the same tool. They really need space, if there's not enough space you don't get a single tree. I don't really like the tool, you should be able to lay down trees one by one wherever you want.
  3. Simtowns vs Simcities

    Yes, I made a town, you can see it here:
  4. I want grid lines!

    He wants them on, not off.
  5. I want grid lines!

    It's a glitch for some people, no way to turn them off or on AFAIK.
  6. Yes! It's Possible!

    Thanks! I didn't really plan anything in advance. I wish there were a nice valley map so I could make a tucked away village. Traviata Knoll on Viridian Woods region.
  7. So how to Quit the game if you are saying to stop using the Quit button ?!?!?!?! When you go to the process of quitting you will see that there is one dialog at the end saying that the game now syncs and has a single red button with text QUIT. Nothing else. No other buttons. You do not press that button. It will close the client when it sync successfully. If you press quit, there are chances next time you log into game to have corrupted city, because you stopped the sync. That's not the cause, it's an issue server side, nothing to do with not exiting properly.
  8. I went with DS3 and so far enjoying it quite a bit!
  9. Free Game?

    Well today we are supposed to get our free game. If anyone gets the email or has any info please post here!
  10. That's weird. I'v never lost my city even thought I'v played 32 hours. I guess I'm just lucky? You'll join the club eventually.
  11. That was fixed ages ago and the traffic issue is clearly the biggest issue now. The loss of cities hasn't happened in weeks. Unless data corrupts upon transfer but no amount of patches can stop that. If you're never getting 100k visitors a day in your city causing traffic problems, you're doing something wrong! There was a patch to reduce the risk, but by what percent nobody knows. Go look at the support thread, there's about 4-6 reports an HOUR of it and that's a small sample of players. I'm not sure how you can say it hasn't happened in weeks as some sort of fact but you couldn't be more wrong. Traffic issues tend to be more PEBKAC than anything. I've had huge populations with mega traffic and handled it fairly well once I learned more about the game.
  12. That's nice and all but I have never had an issue with AI I couldn't overcome. I would think the priority as far as fixes go would be preventing cities from be lost and recovering those that have been lost.
  13. Free Game?

    Just watch some youtube reviews and make up your mind. DS 1 was awesome, I haven't played 2 or 3 yet but went with 3 even though it's supposed to be less horror than the first 2. ME3 is probably an epic game but I never played 1 or 2 so I skipped it. I'll buy all 3 on amazon for like $50, DS3 is $60. BF3 is probably good too but I'm tired of typical FPS, if you like racing NFS is supposed to be good, but maybe repetitive.
  14. Yeah, I agree. Personally I think they should give everyone who bought the extra content store credit and the rest of us a free upgrade.
  15. Ground water drying up too fast!

    Import your water and or build a sewage treatment plant with a pump near it.
  16. Can anyone help me with this?

    If it really bothers you, zone it then destroy it.
  17. Usually this is a traffic issue. Your export trucks are going to get stuck in traffic for a LONG time. Sometimes it clears up and they will get through faster, so it wont seem consistent. Turn your trade layer on and watch your trucks, see how quick they are getting in and out of the city. One thing to watch for is how quick you are expanding / building. If you do any major upgrade where buildings are upgrading, being built or moved into you're going to get a TON of traffic in the form of Moving and Construction trucks. They can account for a large percent of congestion during heavy upgrades, so watch for them.
  18. Sales for Sim City 5

    Just a note, Amazon closed sales do to issues with the servers, not the rating, amazon does not remove products do to ratings. After the issues were fixed with the servers (except game saves) they started selling it again.
  19. Hey guys, professional graphics artist here. I have over 12 years in GD, GUI, Textures etc... I would like to make a high def realistic texture pack for the game when somebody figures out how. I don't usually keep up with these modding sections so if anyone could PM me when its possible who wants to work with me. I don't do models, but I can do all the textures.
  20. lol! Ironic how many memes / insults this game can provide against the people who made it.
  21. Flickering Buildings

    Yeah, I know that building specifically seems to have more issues than others. Have you tried alt tabbing out and in, or changing your refresh rate on your display outside the game in your video settings?
  22. This guy will get a severance package larger than what most of you make in a life time, and have time to sit on some of the nicest beaches in the world now. Showed him! Heads will ROLL!!!
  23. Free Game?

    Not a bad list, I wanted DS3 so that's cool.
  24. That's okay, everyone is still in Beta, it's not too late to come join us for the price of $59.95!
