Thank you for your reply Cyclone Boom... I have been watching and reading The SimCity Status topic and find most of it answer most FAQ... But what I am looking for here is a more personal opinion from some of my fellow SimCityons... I know I have not been as active in these forums as of late as I was some time ago,(SimCity4 side of things mainly) but I intend on addressing that issue soon.. as I said a more personal enthusiast opinion is sought....rather then an updated thread (please take no offence) @ timmie Thankyou for moving the post... sorry for posting in the wrong area

Well is it.. I have been waiting for this to go ofline since release now it is... So if I am going to get it then I will get it now or never.. Let me know Guys,Girls and illegal immigrants,... be Honest, IS IT WORTH IT What have they done to make it work, What do they still have to do... I know alot of you have battled through with this one so let me know what you think...

Wow... Thanks you Guy's/Girl's/illegal immigrants and llama's,Much helpfull

Long time player of SimCity game's.... Jumped the boat on buying at launch when a friend literally called and tolled me not to buy, while I was standing in line.... he got it Two days earliyer... But the wife has been pushing for it as of late, as she is a big fan. I can get some new copies real cheap, but is it worth it yet...?? From what I can tell, they only just added terrain tools and full screen.... Can someone please put the pro's and con's in writing so I can make the right choice, and show her why I've waited..... After what.... 5 update's, it should be close to being fixed...

I don't no if you guy's use them else were in the world, but here in Australia almost all the highways have been updated to steal cable or compressive steal barriers (much like the ones they use on the NASCAR tracks to absorb high speed impacts), you hardly see concrete any more. Could you do something with those dam ugly and dated concrete barriers on the highways, else thanks for the NAM

Easy Question; Forgive me if it has been asked I have the RHW-6C_Steel_Barriers_Mod, it has worked before, only just remembered I had it, tried it but failed... Do you now if this mod still works with 31.1,.... please so yes.... If not could you do something with those dam ugly and dated concrete barriers on the highways, I don't no if you guy's use them else were in the world, but here in Australia almost all the highways have been updated to steal cable or compressive steal barriers (much like the ones they use on the NASCAR tracks to absorb high speed impacts), you hardly see concrete any more. This MOD was one of my favorites

Oh now I see, sorry wasn't paying attention in class And so true

And this has what to do with running SimCity on with STEAM??

I don't have a console, In fact I don't think they have been released yet,.... Valve intend to release it as part of the Next Gen Console thing to compete against PS4 / Nxt-X-Box / WiiU, But it's basically a hardcore gaming only PC, Compacted into a console and running next version STEAM as an O.S., on new top-of-line hardware (click the link) So any game (ie: SimCity XX) playable or available on steam can be played from the comfort of your sofa or Lay-Z-Boy on your 71inch Plasma. If you meant the game on STEAM, it came with all standard documentation, plus a few more read-me.....

I was too, to be honest. Had to settle for GamersGate, Steam or Origin and I felt Steam best suited my use. I was expecting a larger community with Steam and the lack of a workshop really was surprising, to be honest, after all with the amount of Fan-Based Content -Sites- Community's, one would almost expect a workshop,... at least. At the end of the day,(wether it be from a hard disk or a digital download from supplier X), as long as it plays, it's good ... right?? This all brings me to a New yet different Question,... The NEW Console,.....http://steamconsole.com/ One would assume any game he/she currently has on Steam would be available to be played, I'm sum-what interested if not intriguingly amused as to where this will take us and our City's, If not the community's.

Learnt that one the hard way... as you Know. I have a relatively small plugin folder and most of it is data packed (about 6m before D.P.. also sped up the load times...THANK YOU DATA PACKER), But I have three(3) other folders kept separate in my documents folder and named after where the file was downloaded,(STEX/DEX/SPEG4), these are some what larger... After this fashion I can move plugins in and out at will whilst keeping my originals and trusted safe and ready to go.. NOTE: When using Data Packer I found out the hard way, When using commonly updated plugins, such as NAM/CAM/SPAM etc. It's a lot easier to leave these out and NOT data pack them with the rest of the folder, else it's a real pain in the proverbial at update time.

EA must have decided to use the Steamworks CEG with Simcity 4 on Steam. This means that you have a custom SimCity4.exe for each buyer, and this custom exe checks whether your steam.exe is running. If you try to close down Steam while running SC4, steam.exe will ask you to shut down SC4 first. Which means it's a DRM function in this specific case. It's definitely no operating system. It's an overlay program, very practical for co-op gaming, but without function besides DRM in the case of SC4. Whether Steam games have DRM or not on Steam is the decision of the publisher. I guess Steamworks CEG is popular with publishers as they can use it for free. O.K.; O.K. My bad... Calling it an O.S. wasn't the best call on my behalf, I just thought it would be easier to explain in this way if a user wasn't that up to date, If you cant get a Hardcopy, I would try Amazon or simular as you get the product with out the catch.. meaning once you bye it you can do what you want with it But that is only my opinion, It doe's pay to shop around I have no trouble using STEAM and you get the communities and workshop's to boot, (no workshop for SC4) I'm not a big byer of game's through STEAM, But I do use it a fair bit with hardcopy games that offer support or install STEAM O.T.B and I have heard some horror stories, but I shouldn't speak on their behalf. Not a YES... but not a NO either

Thanks Z1... I will try it
