Hi all I stopped playing SC4 for about an year and decided to play again. When I stopped playing, I kept all the plugins I have used before and they were in a set which worked perfectly. Now I ahve installed SC4 and Rush hour again and re-installed the plugins as they were before with few exceptions of latest NAM and couple of LBT civic packs (schools, hospitals, police and fire stations) but absolutely no additional modds or dependency packs. The problem is now the zones will not grow to next stage. I remember last time I played once I layout all the necessities, blocks of units and apartments would rise in no time, but now after about 10 yrs of fast forwarding, all I see is abandoned mansions and first stage houses and low density commerce buildings in mid and high density zones... Industrial zones are no better, they used to pop out fairly quickly and make up entire zones in about 4~5years before, now all I see is patches of large zones between few low density buildings. I amd very sure I was NOT using any radical ordinance modds or demand tweak modds before so I don't know what is wrong with the game. I tried re-installing the whole game again too. Please help Thanks in advance Ps. I am running Rush Hour on XP SP3.

AU$55????? I paid Au$100 in Sydney just 4weeks ago!!!

SCS producers should be ashamed

there are some cheats I never new! thanks

Or you can just turn off all the events except the weather change... You can do this at the beginning of new city and I think you can also change it during the game...

May be there is a way to attract serious investments if properly proposed. tell people know how many city building game fans are out there waiting for the change.

Yeah it's my fault. I admit that it was an inpulsive purchase LOL. The brand of "simcity" just blocked my mind. I am generally weak when it comes to any city building games from pharaoh, childrent of nile to SCs and Citylife. I should have checked... It's not like I want to return the game, I am still going to keep the game as a different city building game from SC serise. But I am worried about SC never returning to it's original style from now on. And the statement that CFO of EA referred to SCS as a disappointment makes me worry even more as it indicates that they are focused on financial profit, which might mean they will succumb to current game trend betraying the classic SC style. Bt the way th CU looks really cool. This has got my hopes up again...

Chief Financial Officer said that? I don't know whether this is good new or not. if they start to worry even more about profit, they sure will succumb to the disgusting current game trends(nintendo, wii you know, cartoony interface and graphics) even faster, not giving a hoot about the loyal simcity fans.

I just bought SCS. paid AU$99.95 And it was WAY OFF from how I imagined!!! I expected; Round Curved streets, roads, highway, rail track, subway, ect... Many types of street, roads, highway textures variety of number of lanes in roads, avenues, highways.... drivable transports(including public transports) with 3D camera angles allowing me to BE in the city I created! controllable and playable sims in the city! angled, rotatable buildings, underground malls, national parks, non-square lots and buildings... various environmental textures and city styles. Just generally variety of realistic economy, building, logistics, transport network models with playable feature like driving a car or train across the city. MAN! I've been waiting and dreaming for that while I played SC4 with hundreds of ST-exchanges and Modds. And EA betrays me like this! I am really disappointed with EA's lack of professionalism. How can they just release the half finished game in the market? do they think we are bunch of imbeciles? do you think I will be able to play the game with GTA style(free style) + Sims + SC4 +Total War style ever? I will pay anything for that kind of game...
