Hello, Is there a file for rice paddies? Thanks in advance.

I forgot the name of the program that lets you take a photo of the entire region. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi, Is there a request thread for SC4 maps?

Would someone be able to make rice paddies(Agricultural I-$)?

National Stadium, Singapore Night View: The stadium first opened on June 30, 2014, and it was constructed by Sports Hub CEO Philippe Collin Delavaud. This BAT will be beneficial, because there are not many modern stadiums for Simcity 4, other than the generic SC4 and a couple of performing arts stadiums. This stadium will fit well with high-tech cities and provide a boost of recreation for Simoleons.

Hello, I want to explore different ways to increase population in my city. I have extremely high RES, CO, and IND demand and I have no trouble having large buildings for both RES and CO. However, my population is constantly fluctuating, never really increasing much from 100,000 to 140,000. I am planning to have a city with a population of about 1,000,000, but it seems something is hindering me from achieving that goal. Can someone told me what I should do to increase my population? Reply would be greatly appreciated.

So here we are. The first picture is the overall region (still a work in progress in some areas) view zoomed and trimmed to show the largest area of my region centered around the city of Sapphire Springs. This portion of the region contains 9 large city tiles and is home to 5.5M Sims. There is the main city which is outlined in yellow. To the north (up) there is a large harbor. The west side (right) is a wealthy housing area still in development and the south side (bottom) is a small extension of the main city. The area most interesting to our discussion is the left side, which is a large slum city bordering the main city. All the pictures are from the main city in yellow for this post: The next image contains the downtown area, labeled as 1 above. This is a CO$$$ area for the most part with some R$$$ on the very edges and stretching out from what can clearly be seen as the main downtown. Next is the transition area between the downtown and the low wealth slums. This area is both residential and commercial and contains many tall skyscrapers as well, yet not as nice of buildings, nor the same density height as the downtown area. Around the interchange in the center there is somewhat higher growth due to the increased traffic and offramps in that area. Lastly is the area of interest to our discussion. The area to the far bottom left is the poorest in the entire tile. High rise tenaments are covering the land and most of the business are small. This portion of the city is also the newest, so some growth of the poor neighborhood is still happening. Going back to the region view in image #1 you can see the area directly to the left of this is a less dense, but equally poor area that extends all the way to the left. This is all R$ and roughly accounts for 1M of the population between the two cities. The remainder of the main city tile is mostly R$$ with a mix in of R$$$. Remember that I am using the CAM for balance and that I have downloaded some of the more prominent buildings. However I have duplicated this with more "vanilla" style out of the box game in similar manner. If you have any questions let me know, regarding zoning, transit, concepts, etc.... Hope this helps somewhat! Thank you for sharing your Downtown with me. It looks spectacular. Did you use landmarks? The skyscrapers are extremely high. I just can never get my commercial buildings to get that high. The problem with my city is that I barely have any space to build my R$ slum area. 70% of my area consists of R$$$ and if I zone R$ areas over those, I will lose a significant portion of my population. My city size is actually quite smaller than the one shown on the image.

Got very busy with work over the weekend as my firm had a large submittal, but I will look into getting some pics out of my main city/slum tonight. Slow and steady though certainly wins the race. Took almost a year to develop the 9 large city tile area known as Sapphire Springs in my region. Yeah, take your time. RL is more important, for sure. I'm not in a rush.

Hi, Is this the right place to request a Simcity 4 lot? If this is not the right place, can you tell me where the right place is?

Hmm, I see. I rezoned a part of my residential and commercial areas and increased my population to 300,000. Just as a note, I am in my 16th year. Thank you for the advice. I am still disappointed, because I am not reaching 1,000,000, but I guess only time will tell.

Hi, I realize that my region is too big for it to be entirely fit into the screen. Is there a way I can zoom out from the region menu so that I can get an image of the entire region in one screen?

Thank you. That was extremely helpful.

Wow. That is a great deal of plugins. Now, do I have to make it part by part or do all the plugins come in one structure?

For the most part, R$ and R$$ will grow into high rises as well, providing you zone high density and have enough power/water and ultimately demand. By building a slum of R$ high density away from the city center you can solve some of the problems. It would be important to connect that tile or area with highways or forms of public transit other than bus (which is slow and not ideal for high density). You can attempt to fight building R$ all you want, but the game simply won't let you keep growing without places to balance the population. Another thing that would help is placing down some more landmarks and parks. It will help your city's caps on growth even more for R$$ and R$$$. Having played both with and without BATs and Mods of any kind, I know that building a nice high wealth city form the out-of-the-box game play can be very frustrating because many issues are unresolved. I can post some pics of large city/slums to help if you need ideas. Pictures of large cities and slums would be greatly appreciated.

My friend, you are conducting a labour of Sisyphus. The game will fight you tooth and nail if you persist in rolling this rock uphill forever. The algorithms in this game want each city to be balanced with a demographic of the normal hierarchy found in most corporate organizations with only a very few members of the population operating at the highest level. You should be thinking of an organizational pyramid with the Pharaoh and the royal family at the top, some knowledge workers (the priesthood) in the middle and mostly the general population doing all the menial stuff. The only way you'll get this to work is probably on a small tile surrounded by others that contain the rest of the hierarchy with lots and lots of neighbour connections, and even then you are in for a struggle from the program. I am in the middle of constructing my first subway line. I don't have any R$; all of my Residentials are R$$$ and all of my Commercials are C$$$. I did that, because I wanted a downtown-style city with only high-rises. As Nonny Moose said, you need some balance or decide to create a large 1M city in an adjacent tile and allow your downtown area to connect large population areas. Eventually you could make these cities into offices, highrises, and park/rec only down the road. For some reference, I have a city just over 2.3M and the breakdown in population is about 650k R$, 1.6M R$$, and only about 150K R$$$. Despite that I am able to have a booming CO$$$ job market due to my high level of education, hosptials, and extensive highway, subway and HSR. You may want to also search around for some custom content that will help larger buildings grow more steadily with higher caps and higher population per square. Of course this isn't for everyone, but the CAMelots can help with this or the numerous custom BATs here on the STEX. Well, I connected my city to a neighbouring city with a similar population, and I have created two subway lines. Population rose to 150,000 to 200,000. I keep thinking it is a risk to build a great deal of R$ and R$$, because although I want to raise my population even more, I want my city to have great looks, such as having a great deal of high-rises that look like a true downtown city. I believe with R$ and R$$ you will get a great deal of houses and small apartments instead of high-rises. Also, I am trying to get my seaport to work, but it is not really functioning at all.

I recently factory reset my computer, re-installed Simcity 4, and copied and pasted the .sc4 region files, config.bmp, and grayscale picture of my region(I am using a custom map.) I had before I factory reset my computer into My Documents/Simcity 4/Regions folder. However, when I load my game, I see the custom region but I don't see any of my cities except for one. How can I rectify this issue?

So, basically, here are the snapshots of my two cities. My CO zone is towards the bottom left portion of my city with not many high-rises. My RES zone surrounds the CO zone with a great deal of high-rises. I used Super Demand mod to boost RES, CO, and IND at their highest. Also, I don't have any landfill zones. CO is towards upper left portion of my city. RES surrounds the CO all around. Yes, I'm having trouble getting my Sim people to work. Some places show that their residents are jobless. As for I-M and I-D, I really do not want to have any negative impact on the environment, so I didn't zone them.
