Neighborhood deals are expensive. My city uses more than 130,000 water. And I pay $7,280to get water from the other city. If I place a large pump, water treatment with 3 water towers, it will cost less.

I had everything you listed. But didn't know why trashes were on roads. I'm trading power and water only. I don't think I will trade garbage.i prefer each city deal with their own garbage. Perhaps, because i live in a country where we don't sell garbage to other cities, that's why for me it's unrealistic. Also, in my country, it's the government which supplies water, power etc. Not mayors. A city will not pay another city if the power is coming from there. It's a state thing!

I have never got a big problem when having landfill. In fact, in all my cities I have a mayor rating of more than 80. Everything is green in pollution and land value etc to the fullest. I don't use mods for landfills. I use the default Maxis. Then, I place a recycling plant. Also I am buying power from another agricultural city. It has 4 oil plants. And everything is green to the fullest. I use parks, invest on education, etc that's why. By the way, i make high monthly revenue without cheat. Low wealth residence pays 2.8% tax in my city. I will lower it to 2.3% soon. Medium wealth residence pays 3% and high wealth 3.4%. Low wealth commercial pays 6.5%, medium wealth commercial 6.8% and High wealth commercial 7.2%. Agriculture 7%, medium industrial 8.5% and high tech 8%. I make a lot of revenues. By the way, is there a way to avoid less same buildings beint built? Example, I zoned a small area with high commercial and I got 4: buildings the same business.

I cancelled the garbage deal. I put a landfill in the city. Now, everything is ok. I think, I will stop neighborhood deals for power and water as well. They are useless. Well, the power is OK, but I find unrealistic that a city will buy water and garbage from another city. The most smallest section on a region map can have a minimum of 80K inhabitants. Why a city with 80K people will buy water from another City in real world? It rarely exists. I like to play the game based on reality. So, I think I will trade only power to only 2 cities. In each group of 3 cities, 1 in them will trade power. All will have their own water and garbage.

Well, my landfill is in the neighbor city. Neighborhood deal. And the landfill is not full

So, I see garbage on my roads. Why? I do have landfill and road access to it and it's working fine. But why I see trash on roads? Also, I have abandoned due to desirability in my C$$$ buildings, why? How to solve it?

So to be short, I must place emphasis more on R$, R$$, C$, C$$, C$$$, I$, I$$ and I$$$ than R$$$ in the next city I am building right? Is there a type of zoning example I can follow? Like 4x3 or 4x2?

Also I have NAM installed Ok, what advise yoi can give me to avoid the commute time issue?

I hate that, seriously I hate commute time in Simcity 4. Most commute time situations are non-realistic and bullshits. I keep having buildings abandoned due to long commute time. Look my screenshot below: As you have noticed, I have 2 buildings with the "No job" zot and when I click on it, it says abandoned due to commute time. Then the buildings turn black and I have to demolish them. In the screenshot, there are only 2 buildings which are affected, but 3 - 4 buildings near them also faced the same some seconds later. They are high-wealth residential buildings. I have roads. I have bus stops nearby. And the best part, I have high commercial buildings IN FRONT of them, yes, in front! How can a building abandoned due to a long commute time when they have roads in front of them and the job buildings are just in front of them? I am fed up like this seriously! I cannot play to keep facing these crappy commute issues. Is there a solution? Is a there a mod to eliminate this "No job" crap? The commute time issue is too exaggerated. It is NOT realistic at all!

Oh lol, this is something I did not know. I thought we could supply any amount of water. Anyways City B is running it's own water system now. Thanks No, I do have all conditions Prophet42. But rsc204 is right in my situation.

I am not overwriting the deal. The deal itself has not taken place. After initialized it, it cut. Each time it is doing the same thing.

Hi, So it is the first time, I am facing such a weird neighborhood deal issue. I have a city, let's call it City A, which provides water to City B. City A has plenty of water, it has a water treatment as well and pumps, no problem with it. After connecting the pipeline to City B, I made the neighborhood deal on City B itself. I chose a deal above the capacity, to serve the population without problem. Everything was OK, water is plenty in City B. When I returned back to City A, I checked the neighborhood deal section, and found "Initial deal" to City B. It's weird, as I have already made the deal from City B. So, I set the deal again. After some seconds, the deal cut and told me to initial it again. I set it and after some seconds I checked again, it has been cut. Both cities have monyhly income in abundance and both are pipelined correctly. Help!

Hi, does someone know a fence which I can use on mountain or rural? I have the Peg Security Kit and Maximum Security Fence. But they are chainlink fence, not appropriate on recreational places. A wooden or a non-chainlink fence will be cool. I built a trail path to a nice place on the mountain. Above, my SIMS can enjoy the magnificent view like a boss. But the place is dangerous. A fence will make it more appealing. Thanks

I will play Simcity 4 on software renderer itself. 2 or 3 building structures are not appearing well on it as they use HD texture. But I do not mind. And yes, I do have 2GB RAM. Later this year, it will be Cities Skylines which will be played on my new computer. I am just a simulation amateur gamer. I don't play high system requirement games like GTA or Watchdog etc. So, any top budget graphic card will be enough for me to play simulation games.

Yes, on software rendering it works fine. But I did enjoy the game for 3 days on hardware rendering as well. Weird! Oh yes, the GPU is crap, old thing. It is an old PC. I will get one later this year, I am just waiting the last Inel generation CPU to be commercialized widely in my country. Right now, only 4 CPUs of the last Intel generation is available. And of course, I will get an external graphic card.
