  1. Show Us Your Photos!

    Way back in 2017, I went after this. I've got more photos from the event at home.

  2. Desktop.. Everyone has one of these!

    My Windows 10 laptop desktop, used for schoolwork, among other things. I often use this computer to collect files I want to use on my desktop later. Ever since Windows 7, I've had a tendency to give a theme to my computers. In this case, it's Railroad Tycoon 3 themed. Home desktop with dual monitors coming soon, which is themed after a completely different video game.

  4. In one of my cities, while I provided sufficient education facilitates, the evolution happened extremely slowly, as other people have mentioned. Quite a few Industrial - Dirty places closed down, leaving mostly Industrial - Medium, with a few touches of High Tech buildings. (Yes, I did have the Clean Air Ordinance active.) Speaking of land value, colleges have a rather interesting affect on land value. Mansions tended to huddle around it like some sort of weird idol. Edit: Forgot to mention one thing, my farms were off in the distance away from the dirty industrial. Not sure if that mattered, but it kept the air pollution away from them.

    Can I just say I'm wowed by the work shown here, with the props, lots and cities? I've got a lot to learn. Fantastic work everyone who's made things here. Just kind of blows me away.

    And so it begins once more.
  7. I know. I live in Louisiana, and ultra-long bridges are something of a norm down here, due to the the inability of the state to decide if it wants to be land or water. I seem them often, rising above the landscape to cross the many bodies of water here.
  8. Thinking about it some more, it's probably a better idea to create a small island like you suggested. And looking at my region map, I see a perfect opportunity to do such a thing. I need to merge the four regions to the right of the first region merge I did, and then I could just build ferries or a long, long bridge.
  9. With a fresh install with only one custom region, no cities, and only NAM and a water mod in place, all of my folders are quite small as of now. Rather amusingly, my plugins folder is approx 4 times larger (655 MB) compared to all my region folders (153 MB.), because of NAM.
  10. Sorry, I got my terms mixed up big time. Thanks for clearing that up Jeffery. I was referring to the city sector plots when I was saying regions earlier. And I'm not sure if one can have a rectangular plot to be honest, having looked around a bit. I will keep that underwater Ferry Terminal in mind. Thanks for referring me to that one Cori and Jeffery. I do wonder how I'll be able to keep it funded though, or can I just set it and forget it?
  11. I was thinking about a few things last night regarding SimCity 4s regions, and I decided to consolidate some of them here. If the mods want to split these into separate threads, you have my approval. I just didn't want to spam threads. If you have two regions, both flanked on one side by water, but with both sides next to each other, how do you bridge the gap to form a connection? Do you have to mod the terrain slightly to get a connection point of sorts, can you use a ferry to bridge the gap, or can you use a actual bridge, just with the other bridgehead in the region next door? Can you have a region in the shape of a rectangle? One of the ways I though about getting around the above problem was to have a rectangular shaped region to "bridge" the gap. (No pun intended.), but I'm not sure if that is possible. Should I use highways as primary regional connections? I've always tended to use rail, because that's kinda my jam, but I've often thought about building a highway alongside it. Thoughts?

    I don't think it'd hurt to post a few screens here. I still have the SC4 files for them, but I want to build something better. Oddly enough, I only have two significant images of Sonava itself. The other two show the same extension seen in the last image. This was fairly early on, before I did a lot of things. (Added Rail connections, built a Tram system, etc. This was my attempt at building a separate section of a city away from the main core, and connecting it via rail. It worked rather well actually. I don't have any screens of my other neighbor city, Brokespike.

    Thanks for the warm welcome ma'm. And thank you for your Shoppe posts. They've really helped me find the look I want for my cities.
  14. Hi, While I've been here and with SimCity 4 for a while, I haven't really posted here, and because I don't want to come off in the wrong way, I'd thought I'd introduce myself. I've been with the SimCity series a long time, ever since I played a demo of SC2000 in the early 2000s. That was some great fun, and I wanted to really get into it. Over the years, I've acquired copies of SimCity Classic, SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000, SimCity 4, and now Cities: Skylines. I've decided to get back into SimCity 4, and I've installed a copy of NAM, customized a region so I can have a giant anchor city, and I'm ready to rock and roll once again. I do have some screenshots of my last cities built before I had to move to another computer and uninstall SC4, along with every other game. I'm slowly rebuilding my collection of mods, and plan on changing a few things out, including some nicer semi-truck models. I'm also at SC4 Devotion for the record.
