Yeah, I have the NAM, so I think it might be the wealth vs. types of jobs. I'll try to place some lower income housing and report back.

Okay my text didnt appear. Let's try again, an abridged version: I've been creating planned communites for my suburbs. You know the ones in every american city, dull, twisty roads full houses that look similar. So instead of zoning, i've been using the buildingplop cheat to place similar looking houses throughout these communities. The problem is, these plopped houses inevitably become abandoned due to commute time (aka lack of jobs) despite the various jobs surrounding aforementioned communites. There is no reason. any ideas, tips or suggestions on fixing this?

FYI I have the exact same graphics card as the OP and the same problem (to a lesser extent).

well I figured it out (forgot to add a space in the shortcut target, duh). But can I still not run it normally run it in fullscreen mode with my PCs config on vista? It feels very awkward running it in windowed mode.

ok stupid question... where do I type -w? (i really should know this; maybe vista is just throwing me off...) brand new machine awesome performace, but in regional view i get this weird looking screenshot of my city wherever i last saved it...

bump. anyone?

The 40x multiplier mod worked fine for me last time I had SC4 installed, but this time it doesn't want to work. What gives? Are there any known issues with it?

im having an issue here... cant find the SC4 plugin files. Looked in documents, not there. nothing is there. where the hell is it?

you have to realize any building over 200 m is immense. the thing is, it looks smaller if you put it next to tons of other high rises that are slightly smaller. New York City's skyline doesn't make it look like it has loads of extremely tall buildings, but it does. its sort of a trick of the eye.

Minneapolis MN. population under 400,000, but the twin cities metro area is over 3 million people, making it one of the largest metro areas in the USA. that would explain Minneapolis' impresseive skyline and business district. surprisingly enough, around 80, 000 live downtown, in high rise condos and townhouses.

um, something in my game has gone horribly wrong since i installed the NAM update and SAM street mods. whenever i open up a city, the roads immediately in and around intersections (note that this is only roads, not streets!) have all disappeared. when i go to lay them out again, it takes a good 30 seconds for the game to do it (load it up). so needless to say its gotten to be a severe pain in the ass going through large cities, relaying intersections with each one taking several seconds to load. when i go to lay fresh new road, not to connected to stuff thats disappeared, it works fine. no load time. anyone else had this problem? oh man its making it painfully hard to play sc4 at this point.

ah, i was looking in the wrong place, they were in the parks sections.

Is there currently a new cargo facility in development? if not i'd like to officially request one now. Preferably it'd include UPS, fed ex, DHL and other cargo companies liveries. The one included in the pack is nice, but it isn't perfect. and the military planes just dont fit. i'd also like to see some a320s, many airlines fly them including northwest, frontier, continental, air france etc.

most of my major cities have custom airports, and i've been waiting for a good set of narrowbody planes, and i saw today the new 737s. the regional aircraft and the widebody aircraft are covered nicely with the CRJs and the 747s, so I was glad to see some narrow body get added to that. my question is, are the ploppable gates that are compatable with the ACES custom airport set included in this download? thanks in advanced
