good news, adjusting graphics detail and such worked...i tried it earlier just not enough obviously. but anyways thanx to yall for helping, and wizard, since this worked for me maybe it should work for you...thanks again

apple - my graphics card is mobile intel 965 express chipset, i think thats right.... il try what you told me to do soon. wizard - i did not download any nightlighting mod.

I tried that tungston, it didnt work.

some of my ingame lots and plops have lost some textures and props (yes it rhymes). I just recently downloaded an update for simcity4 from the official simcity4 website (simcity.ea.com) I also downloaded a couple dependencies for SimGoobers RLS suburban mall. I tried raising the games graphics options but that didnt work. examples Are there any downloads on Simtropolis that contain the original Maxis textures and props for this kind of situation?

Recently I read that they completed DNA analysis, and concluded that the DNA contained human, opppossssummm (spelled correctly?), and some couldn't be concluded because of "technical difficulties." Some suggested that the oppossum DNA part is due to the possibility of stomach contents, but why would human DNA be found. Then i wondered why the 2 people that found this kept it for 1 month, before notifying media or authorities...that makes me think they needed time to put this together, and by "this" i mean hoax. I mostly think its a hoax as well.

The history channel had a program about weapons - past, present and future weapons...and about future weapons, some scientists think the next type of bomb would be an anti-matter bomb. So im just thinking the goal of building this LHC could just be to create an anti-matter weapon. Can anyone say "Manhattan Project" number 2??

Im sure some of you have seen news on a new particle accelerator being constructed near France and Switzerland, I would post a link but im not good at that; here is a gist of it; It is supposed to be completed in August 2008, and will be the worlds largest particle accelerator... purpose is to possibly create anti-matter.... and other discoveries. The problem, well potential problem, some scientists think there is a chance that when activated, it could create a small black hole....some say it could create a whole new dimension. They say the chances of these occurring are 1 in 50,000,000 - the same as winning the lottery. The creation of anti-matter and then something going wrong and letting that anti-matter come in contact with matter is beyond cataclysmic some say. I heard about this a couple months ago and just recently heard another news tidbit about it. Can anyone say - Resonance Cascade? Half Life? Gordon Freeman - i would crap my pants if one of the scientists that will be associated with this new facility is named Gordon Freeman! But in all seriousness, my question is (lol) when is someone going to model a particle accelerator and place it on the STex??? LOL naw really though, this is STRANGE! thanks for the pic easy bakes!

Sweet! excellent job so far...you chose the twin cities, well good luck with terraforming all them puddles, that will be time consuming itself...But this CJ looks extremely promising to be perfect - i love recreations and am working on milwaukee myself(no cj) not an exact recreation more of a transportation recreation. The northeastern cities of america were built in a lot of hills thats why the grid didnt work to well, and those hills are ANNOYING - believe me i drive one of them 18wheelers and im in the northeast every month just about...was in queens, NY few weeks ago with full 53 foot trailer, weeee so FUN! (in a heart attack kind of way) I lived in fairmont for a few years and we traveled to the TC's a few times so i know what the area looks like...now i can jus come here to see it. sweeeet

I hate the scale of everything, and the width of the 6-lane highway should be wider than the avenue. mostly the scale.

Is China going to collapse soon?? China is just getting started... like said above China is going through growing pains, good for them... yes there are/have been mistakes such as pollution and tainted toys but what is wrong with that (that meaning "mistakes," not tainted toys)? we learn from them...America (china/america comparison) had mistakes and learned from some and is still trying to fix others after 200 years. Hell it doesn't even look any different than America with all that pollution from industry in the late 19th through the 20th centuries.

I have a friend that lives maybe 6 or 7 blocks to the north of the bridge, she is alright thankfully. I drive an 18 wheeler across many states and have known for quite a while that our transportation system is neglected. But anyways i did live in minnesota for 8 years and know that Minneapolis has the most extreme temperature change in the lower 48 states, from minus 60 in the winter to over 100 degrees in the summer, combine that with many years. What im getting at are 3 things of what caused this - old age, weather, and time period (1960's). In the 1960's the metal/steel industry had different standards than today meaning many metals formed back then were/are more often found to be weak.

Hmm. Too many people are saying future is written in stone. I think thats wrong - yes somethings will happen with our current mentallity and political practices, but it ALL can be changed. Anything is possible - war is possible, but, war is also NOT possible.

if u drag highway over avenue up to intersections, the intersections will remain over-capacitated(yellow/orange/red on the transportation menu... So if u build interchanges in place of the intersections, that is when the highway will take more space...

lol, thankyou for the input...I was kind of worried it was some sort of population cap cause coincidentally this region population with the city that this was taking place has just passed 1 million... But I am glad it isnt that. thanks again.
