  1. So what's with all the hoops one needs to jump through to sign in here anymore?

      Hi @RobertLM78, I made a post here recently explaining about this.

      In short, the security measures are needed to safeguard Simtropolis, given the heightened threat of bad bots recently. I'm evaluating whether or not we need the Cloudflare challenge to sign in or register, since that might be no longer necessary. I'll likely disable that for a while and see how things go.

      Update: I've done that now. *:)

      Safety Simtropolis is the main thing. Nobody should forget about this!!!

  2. Well, tried this method of getting it to run without success: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/play-games-safedisc-securerom-drm-windows-10/ Which is unfortunate because the GoG version is not an option..... I suppose now with a windows 11 machine I am not completely limited to WINE, so maybe there's another DRM-free option that'll work. Edit: ^^^option #4 that is, as mentioned in the article, sorry forgot to mention that^^^
  3. It's time to think about mass transit for Shakako beyond buses and I'm considering trying out the Elevated Rail over Avenue*/Road (very appropriate here). I tend to use Tram in Avenue for mass transit after buses, but I wanted to try something new. However, having assessed the city's layout, at least 2 issues with intersections came up: 1) Elevated Rail and Heavy Rail intersections. Now, of course, there is an option here: have the elevated rail go to tram in avenue and use a viaduct rail crossing. That's okay I suppose, but I'd prefer to not take it down to street level (* especially since I've decided to go with the elevated rail over Road-4, since that provides the cleanest look with the station) 2) Elevated Rail and Diagonal Avenue intersections. This one is a lot more tough - the only thing I could think to do was have the diagonal turn to meet the elevated rail carrying avenue (road-4) in an orthogonal connection. Not very pretty, and would bastardize any continuous diagonal that happened to be crossing both sides of the avenue (road-4). Are there any puzzle pieces I've somehow missed? There are the roundabouts for the TiA, but there none for the Elevated Rail that I can find. Thanks for reading! Edit: I'm just going ahead and doing the TiA. I couldn't figure out any alternatives.
  4. Coronavirus (COVID-19)

    I've generally been trying to too, but sometimes I just can't help myself. This whole plannedemic just pisses me off.
  5. Coronavirus (COVID-19)

    Considering how few companies (it's down to at least 5 corporations last i checked) there are running the media, the only "conspiracy theory" around here is what 5 corporations decide to play (everything else is called "critical thinking" - something severely lacking in the general population these days):
  6. Coronavirus (COVID-19)

    I guess it's time I bow out of this community then. Beyond ridiculous that anything going against the TV's narrative would be deleted -- in fact i have much more appropriate words but I don't want to melt any snowflakes.

    Why not?
  8. Introduce Yourself Here!

    I can point you to a couple things as well as put together some materials that I'm pretty sure are no longer available if you'd like. Just shoot a PM.

    Nice..! JenX Jupiter?
  10. Index of STEX Pegasus Content

    Whoa...! Thank you....! This looks like a monumental task, and quite useful, too.
  11. Entry 10: Erlbronn

    I like what you did with the Small Shoreline MMP -- I'm gonna have to look out for that. Thanks for sharing
  12. Show us What you're Working On

    Certainly those are becoming more common, but still very common and very absent are the "complexes" such as this one:
  13. Show us What you're Working On

    Indeed just the right amount of repetition in just the right place can make for nice effects.
  14. A terrain/flora mod is probably in order. I wasn't a fan of having all my cities look like southern California, either, so several years back I did the terrain / flora modding thing for the more temperate look.

    Cool...!
  16. Entry 9: Weißenfels

    It's coming along very nicely - excellent work. Thanks for sharing

    Reminds me of Adelaide

    This one showed up at our place one night after a salmon dinner and never left:
  19. @Whte_rbt - that'll do - thanks
  20. Cool, thanks. I wonder if there's a US version for that site. Perhaps you can shoot me a PM and give a fuller description of how to setup / use this emulator so as not to derail this thread. You hadn't mentioned anything about needing a second card, but if that's necessary then i'll consider it - just at this point it's starting to sound complicated enough discuss in a more appropriate location.
