So you want to build a European city...
bxbb replied to Robineus's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Ferox and DaveN are great BATters with great BATs but their BATs are polish BATs, but when I look around some CJ, they just fit very well. I think there will not any problem when you use the BATs from them, and actually, both of them not just uploading their BATs here, but also in BSC, the links are below : Ferox BATs (BSC) : http://sc4devotion.c...PSEARCH=Creator DaveN BATs (BSC) : http://sc4devotion.c...PSEARCH=Creator DaveN BATs (STEX) (He is registered as abstynent here) : http://community.sim...oads&mid=314636 Some steps to edit the tileset using ilive's Reader : 1. Open the reader, then search for the DAT or .SC4Desc that you will edit. 2. Click 'Fill the list' button and then, open the Exemplar file. 3. Then, right click the 'Occupant Groups' slot and click 'edit properties'. 4. Then, you will find this thing : To change the tileset, look at the 0x00002003, that means the building tileset is only euro. To change it, you can change the last number from 3 to another number, the codes for every tileset is below : 0x00002000 : New York 0x00002001 : Chicago 0x00002002 : Houston 0x00002003 : Euro-contemporary. You also can make the building grow on several tilesets by using the 'add' button and then, type the code. Example : Values : 0x0001000 0x0011010 0x00002002 0x00002003 Then, the building will grow when Euro or Houston tileset is activated. If SC4 PIM + Reader is just too complicated, you can always use the PIM-X (You must register/login first, the link to register is on the post #8 ) where you can easily right click and then choose the tileset selector and select the tilesets. wow, thanks for the info -
Hello everyone. I'm from Indonesia and. SC4 is my 1st (and last) SimCity series I have. Got it as a gift from foreign friend since it's a little hard to get original copy here. Back to play when SC5 preview shown up on my Google search, just to be disappointed when knowing the requirement. After nearly 2 years absent, I'm amazed by how the SC community grow (and still growing after nearly 10 years post-release), and how I miss some of most important addition to the game (NAM, bugfix, etc) which probably will help me endure the torture of city bankruptcy back then. Looking forward to join the community, and hope you all welcome me

This happened a lot to me when using vanilla, in fact most of my city will start to collapse after reach 300k pop. No cheats, no mods, running vanilla deluxe game on hard. And profitable. It's hard though. Almost no loops, unlike SC3000. I wonder how you layout your zones, in vanilla I used to mix commercial district with residential, which help both demand and commute time. Since you didn't attach screenshot on your desirability info, zone composition, and RCI composition, I suggest to start looking at them, keep the desirability green, water and power all arround, and keep a balance between the rich and the poor. too much richie rich will kill your joy. as for Industrial, I usually 'bait' the demand by setting zero taxes for Industry for about a year or so. Additionally, you can download Cencus Repository Facility (link form LEX, you may have to register). The readme and in-game query show some useful info.

As for BAT, I recommend Ferox's BAT (since most of my BAT in Euro subfolder consisted of them). Not sure if it's fit German-style city, since I'm living in Indonesia Back then when I never know the existence of NAM, use estate-style layout, with limited access to each estate to make sure my Sim will always use highway and avenues and I still be able to upgrade my network gradually. Aside from it's usefulness (despite the fact that my highway just go 'bleeding' after I hit 200k pop) I find that this layout also give a better looks. And with NAM in hand, it's just getting better (SAM, FAR, roundabouts, cul-de-sac, etc). For street layout, here's some of them which I take as reference. I wonder how could one assign specific tileset to BAT, I've sort my BAT (based on uploader's description). But some of them will just mix up in-game. For example, can I assign JMyer's BAT to Chicago and Ferox's BAT to Euro? If I remember correctly, there's a wiki which explain most of properties used in Reader. too bad I lost my bookmark on a recently-happened HD crash. I should staru to believe in cloud -
