Really strange indeed...Why some people and not others...? My file cannot accept more than 873 items... I do not think that it is a PC issue. It is my first problem with the game, had none at all before. The game...? If it was, more players would face the problem, I think. What about Steam...? Someone on another forum suggested to reinstall the game store and by obligation the game itself a second time. I've decided to do that. Waiting for the results...

Apparently, I am not the only one facing this strange issue. Unfortunately, so far, no solution provided. Now that After Dark is running, the file (255710), containing the suscribed items, is acting like it cannot accept more of them. Every time new assets, even just one, are added to the file the game can't start, impossible to reach the menu. Once they are removed, the game goes back to work. Played with almost a 1000 items before the update, and not a single problem. Checked the integrity of the cache a few times (got a message though saying: 5 files failed to validate) Could not find which ones. Runned a utility program to remove any errors that could occur somewhere, unsuscribed and resuscribed...and even reinstalled the game. Just ran out of ideas or solutions...Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I just started a new city and I go regional for the first time. I was surprised to realize that some buildings for every category (residential, commercial,industrial) do not plop properly. Those that show a parking lot or like an esplanade on the front side, look like they're not connected to the road, like there is no access. However, they do work which is the most important. Now, let's not be fussy, but we must admit that it does not look great. Perhaps, our great team of modders will have a chance to study these details. If we wish to avoid that situation, we can strictly go with buildings that stick well to the road. When we look at the image showing the big stores situated along the large avenue, we do not see anything special at the first glance. But in fact, they are placed on the regional side. We do not see the difference. Let's imagine for one moment how awesome it would be, if every single building at our disposal could fit right with the streets on the regional side.

Hello elemental ! I did use the El Train for some time, but I removed it from the data file. I do not know what happened. It worked for a while and then after adding some more mods, the train stopped going around. It just disappeared. I realised that I could remove the station but not the tracks, so I could not rebuild anything. As I was just at the beginning of a new city, I decided to restart it. That would be very nice indeed to go with ground level subway tracks and ground level station. In fact, with this option right now, depending where we put the underground stations, we make the subway train coming up to the surface in different places. Too bad we do not see the tracks, because it would look great... Thanks for your reply. Appreciate.

As I could not include an image the first time, here is the illustration of what I meant in the first message. I really estimate that it is a great option adding a nice touch in the city. It's unfortunate that it does not work properly at the moment. Let's hope that the great team of modders operating right now, will find an issue.

Hello ! Recently, I started to use the subway mod created by Maxisguillaume some time ago. As I use also Akar, there is a distinctive menu for the subway. In this menu, we have the mod allowing a station and the tunnels(tracks). Now, another option is also available that is not part of the original mod, unless an update was added that I am not aware of. If not, I do not know where it is coming from, who made it ? The option is a subway underground / surface tracks. It is a nice one because it allows to see the subway going around instead of not seeing it at all. When we select the option, there is no image showing how it looks like, but just an icon. The icon shows a track coming from the underground that should go to the next station. Problem: there is no track. The subway is like running on the grass. Is there anyone using the subway mod who would know what it is all about...? Thank you for the possible replies, will appreciate.

That also could be an interesting option...

It would be nice to be able to move a structure to another spot for a while until we reorganise the space. Then we relocate it somewhere else. We could avoid destruction and rebuilding. I tried that while playing the game Anno online. It helps a lot in redesigning the city.

I bought the limited edition of Cities of Tomorrow on this web site: http://niveau7.fr/ In fact, you buy a key code that is sent to you by e-mail in about five minutes after the purchase. It works quite well. It is the second time I do that. I paid 19 Euros instead of 30 with Origin or even Amazon. In US $, the price is about $24,74, with Amazon it is around $30. SimCity Cities of Tomorrow Expansion Pack Limited Edition Origin Key (PC/Mac) With this version, the price is $22,79 SimCity Cities of Tomorrow Expansion Pack Origin Key I know, it's not $15, but I did not find a better deal so far. The thing is, the site is in french, but shows the prices in different currencies. So, you can buy with yours. In case, you would be interested, let me know here, I can help.

It is a fact that if we do not change the size of a street or an avenue when requested, a building or even a block will not grow. Now, the way to stop the density growth is to remove the green or blue or yellow line shown under any building, when creating a specific zone. Removing that line is like erasing the zone, so the building will not grow or will stop growing until we decide to make it bigger, simply by "rezoning" when putting back that line. It allows to increase the size of the streets or avenues anytime, without having the buildings growing sometimes too fast, creating problems such as unemployment or unfilled jobs. Problems that need to be under control all the time. Hope it helps.

It is because the space remaining is considered as an industrial zone, so, it is in yellow, still, and because there is not enough space left for a factory to be built. Erase the zone (the yellow part) and nothing will reappear.
