Hey people! just a question that's been bugging me for a while, sometimes when downloading stuff from the stex, some of the zips have the files (.lot .sc4model etc) and others have an installer that distributes the files throughout our plugin folder. the question is, why is there the installer!??? they make a bunch of directories in the plugins folder, taking the organization control out of our hands!!!! Then, when i want to delete a certain lot it's a total confusion to find it!! Is it really that important for the batters to control the directories in which to put their work? Can i move them to where i want them after running the installation program? What are the consequences of doing this? thanks a lot!

Hello guys, Remember a while ago there was a warning in this site about spyware? Does anyone know if any specific BAT or Lot that had spyware? I've recently had a spyware atack on my computer, and it may have been from something i downloaded from the stex, so did anyone identify any file that had any malware on it? Thanks a lot

Hey guys, i realise that this could be a little off-topic but this doubt came to me when reading about the new urbanism threads so i believe it does have impact on sim city and how you view your city and the mental unconcius preconcepts you might have about city management. so, here it goes, how much does a litter (or gallon) of gas cost where you live? A gallon is almost 4 litters: 3,785 litters I live in Lisbon, Portugal (in western europe, right next to spain) and here the gas prices have been rising like hell since the beggining of the year! In january a littler of gasoline was about 0,90 euros and now it's like 1,27 euros!!! and diesel started at 68 cents or something and has now broken the 1 euro barrier. (1 euro is like 1,23 dollars or something) Because of this, car economy is very important. Here a good car is one that consumes like, 5 or 6 litters per 100 Km (62 miles). Of course jeeps take up to 12 or 15, but this is considered very very consuming!! Not to mention Jags and Porches and stuff like that, that can go to 20 or 25. of course this is only for people with LOTS of money!!! So, where do you live and how is it like there?

Hello, I have a few requests, although i understand it might be tough 'cause these buildings are in Lisbon, Portugal and it's hard to get pictures of them, but if anyone would like to give it a shot, here it goes: This is our Oceanarium (as in an aquarium but much larger). It features the biggest oceans in the world and its life both aquatic and earthly (was that well said? you get my meaning). It is located in a new part of Lisbon, the most eastern part that was reahabilitated in 1998 for the international exibition Expo'98 held in Lisbon. So here it is: and another one: and yet another one at night: And now for something completely different I don't know what you english speaking people call these, cable cars??? The aerial thing you see in the left part of this picture, running on cables align=baseline> and yet another picture, here you see several of them: http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9351/teleferico22bt.jpg align=baseline> Of course this wouldn't be transit enabled or anything, but just for eye candy, wouldn't it be nice? And now for some residential building, these are the two towers also in the same area as the Oceanarium, in Eastern Lisbon. The one closer in the image is tower S

Hello aleking! Great work here!!!! Tell me, what is that building here in the top left corner of the image, is it a train station? Is it in the stex? I tried searching for it but couldn't find it!!! Keep it up!

Not even with the new NAM (with the older version i couldn't either), the latest release... i just can't!!! My streets end in cul-du-sacs, could that have anything to do with it? Thanks a lot for the NAM in general, GREAT piece of work!!! quote> I'm pretty sure that the Cul De Sac Mod doesn't interfer with the NAM but i'm not 100%. Tropod or Qurlix should be able to answer that. And for the diagonal streets? Do you have the Plugin for it installed? There is a rule with the NAM which I have discovered. If something is made for the NAM which adds to the game, it is included in the main Network Addon Mod DAT file If something is made for the NAM which replaces something in the game, it is made into an optional plugin. Have you got the latest NAM and have that plugin? If you do already, I dunno whats wrong. quote> Thanks a lot, i found out the problem! Reading through this thread i found another person with the same problem and the solution given was to do S like streets for a while like: |_ |_ |_ and then they should turn into diagonal after a few turns. I'll try this later when i get home!! can hardly wait!!!!

I would very much like to see an altitude tool (in the view menu), meaning, you could see at what altitude a piece of terrain is. And PLEASE bring back the leveler tool of SC3000!!!! The one in SC4 is absolutely uncontrollable!!! Next thing you know, you destroy half a neighbourhood when all you wanted to do was level a square! I know i can use CTRL+1 or something, but still... it doesn't work quite like expected

Hey! I see all the time in bats and lots, growth stage 2, growth stage 6..... what is that? How can you tell wich growth stage a building is on?...

Darmok, i can only say that your CJ is an inspiration to everyone out there trying to make nice eye-candy cities! I can't stop stearing at them!! I love also the names of the cities, very well used . Now, just one thing, how did you make the tar of highway have that darker color? I love dark colored highways because that's mainly what we have where i live, and i think they look very nice. tks a lot and keep those updates comming!!!!

Just a question, and i'm sure someone must have asked you this before, did you use cheats to make this city/region?
