My 100K cities have been sucking the ground water dry.... its really hard to manage the water situation even in a high water city... does ground water repopulate with a rain storm? or when you sucked the sand dry are you up the creek without a puddle?

I think the prebuys should get the upgrade pack for free for dealing with the server issues all week.... Either that or make a special set for us

Nothing speaks louder than corporate litigation.... 1) make an official complaint with the BBB AND or your local Attorney General's office for consumer fraud 2) DON'T WAIT FOR A CLASS ACTION WHERE YOU WILL GET A $5 coupon.... FILE A SMALL CLAIMS with your local courthouse... EA won't send lawyers to thousands of small claims courts so they will lose all the cases...THEN LET THE SHARKS GO ON A CLASS ACTION The fact is simple... 1) the server crashes were a predictable outcome that the company should of known about or did know and ignored (ie:D3) 2) they still shipped a faulty product that left us without the ability to use the product when we, the consumer, wanted and were promised by way of sale to use Don't cry and moan.. Do something about it!

Sooo... Since there isn't anything else to do... When your city starts to go into the negative and you taxed the rich people so much they start moving out, what Simquestration cuts and services do you start shutting off and why?

Everyone is having this problem... Servers crashed

Until he farts a thermonuclear stink bomb

I don't think fire is a great idea... Maybe trash

I shut off the cops for 12 hours... Didn't notice any major changes... Almost forgot to turn them back on

I think I had an earthquake... The screen startle to shake, one building collapsed... I had an alien abduction that I didn't even get to watch ... Ehhh...

You should be able to ship it to the middle of the ocean and dump it... Just like the real world

Worked for me... It could be a server synch issue

I can't stand the lizard... Not realistic AT ALL... Nor is "Alien Abductions". I never liked them.... Locusts yes, tornados yes, earthquakes yes... If anything add hurricanes, blizzards (can you imagine little plow trucks) tsunamis... Offshore drilling with oil spill disasters would be cool... Fracking would be cool too, flash floods, microbursts... Mining disasters, aviation disasters, ships sinking all yes... Lizards no! (Or have it as an option). You should also be able to mitigate known disasters... Such as living in a northern city, buying plows and sand... Earthquake legislation... I think it would be nice to be able to negotiate contracts with employees too... Pay for rising healthcare costs, be able to get into city budgeting better... Just think of the disaster lurking in the school budgets... How about pay per throw trash options??

screen shot of the pump near the water please (when you can)

ewe... really?

I think the city sizes are fine.. you need to look at a Region as a city (or county) everything flows between them.. so if you put all the cities in a region and combine them .. bam there you go plenty of room... I have managed to squeeze in two cities within a region already, both cities have a combined population of 200K and I still have a third city to go within my region.. if you remember SC4 you had to have multiple utilities multiple school etc all within the same city... well, no difference here. If you have a healthy city, once the sims can't expand hortizontally, they will begin to build vertically its no different that SC4 if you split you city with highways into different regions.. you know your Industrial quarter, your commercial quarter and your population half.... except here you can better control your "quarters"

Two of the three cities are now dry

Same thing happened to me... I started a new school, then demolished the old one... I built it too close to the border

Have a little of each in each city Give the game some time for the word to travel about the department of transportation.. It will come

Park those cars in a park and ride.. Up your buses.... Get trains in your city.. They carry thousands of passengers... More than one station
