True, I can't say it better. It certainly is an amazing experience. As a game
-
Funny it is, when I came back from hiatus few moths ago, I was dealing with similar thoughts. What SC4 realy is? A simulator? A painting canvas? A sandbox? I was dealing mainly with the problem of idealistic approach the game has and with the impact of omniscent way of playing on my life. And the impact exists - who hasn't thought at least once in his/hers life to swing with hand/click with mouse and erase all problems? Because of that, I want to thank Matias for interesting article.

Thanks, I am not looking for a replacement nor for a new tree controller. I think I would have to create my own tree controller to satisfy my wishes. I just want to make those trees go away. Regarding this, I have just remembered that every single custom made tree controller includes some exemplars that disable Maxis' god mode trees from growing. Probably I have to open Reader now ... Thanks anyway

Hi everyone, I am looking for a kind of Maxis tree blocker. You know, those trees happen to grow automatically over time, I would like to stop that. I have searched a little, but found nothing. Any ideas? If not, I can create such blocker myself.

Thanks for pointing this to me. Actually it doesn't contain any props, just automata. But with help of a tutorial by rsc204 (I know it is here somewhere on Omnibus) I will be able to get what I want. Thank you very much

I had very limited interaction with him. But I remember that he had once written a quote, on first sight totally off topic, but that citation made me happier that day ... I will miss his insightful posts.

Very nice models! I am currently playing a little bit with some old railyard lots and those will certainly come in handy Of course, don't rush, take your time, for me: quality > quantity

Hello, I am looking for Jestarr's 'Pulpwoodcar,' either the CN or BN - the orthogonal one. In BSC Mega Props - Jes Vol 6 I can only find the rotated version; I also checked the Prop & Texture Photo Catalog on SC4D and tried to find it in other Jestarr's mega packs, but with no luck ...
-
1. There is a dedicated thread for this type of questions 2. BSC Mega Props JES Vol 7 is probably the most comprehensive set of containers. (You need to be logged in to download.) Hope that helps!

Wow, some very nice thoughts. I too have never thought about lotting that way. You've just remembered me that after finishing reading novels by G. R. R. Martin I have to read some philosophical books.

How Do I Make Single Tile Residential Develop?
Mandarin(a) replied to stormlover's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
I think that should help a bit: http://www.wiki.sc4devotion.com/index.php?title=Tutorial:Stage_Limits_and_Threshholds So: if a 1×1 R$ lot belongs to growth stage 2, you should have min. 300 R$ residents in your region. -
Matias93 Unexpected Mod Workshop
Mandarin(a) replied to matias93's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion
Yay! Congratulations! &: first comment Missed your map when it was released but it definitely looks worth downloading it - I will try it ASAP -
So, you have RRW installed, and I think something is changing your textures. Nothing to worry about. Few options: 1. You have to be sure NOT to install any other components regarding railway. Under "Additional Features and Customizations," all of the "Rail Texture Style" options should be unticked. 2. Check your Plugin folder for old railway mods, like PEG 205 mod or anything you were using. I am almost certain it is not compatible with RRW. Hope that helps somehow

That Unused Moisture Data View
Mandarin(a) replied to CorinaMarie's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion
I have always wondered if this is the reason there are max. three available seasons for seasonal flora. -
@FlyHigh I understand what was your goal ... just thought about sticking at original Maxis categories ... after all, they are here to stay
-
I tend to agree with CorinaMarie about those tags, I think it has to be clear what means what - default Maxis wealth categories are widely accepted: R$, R$$, R$$$, CS$, CS$$, CS$$$, CO$$, CO$$$, I-R, I-D, I-M, I-HT. And then something different for designating height: e.g. low-rise, mid-rise, high-rise ... @FlyHigh, from your differentiation is not very clear if your tags are meant to designate height or wealth. But otherwise yes, certainly, well made guide, clear and simple.
-
Yes, turorials ... but knowing my capabilities I am more useful for tagging and repairing broken links etc. Indeed, some elementary info could be added to each file, I was misguided quite a few times, but I think this is more like a "bonus feature" (20,000 files ...). But, it is worth to think about it.

Terrain mod that isn't so green?
Mandarin(a) replied to MintberryCrunch's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Appalachian terrain mod by Lowkee (available on LEX) is quite brown, but not really similar to the Maxis colour scheme. There are some mods that match your description, but are not HD. -
I volunteer as a tribute! I can't predict what the future is going to bring me, but at this stage I would probably be able to find some time to help here. Regarding pictures from old tutorials, I do agree that it is a very sad thing so many of them have disappeared, but with a little help of imagination and this superb community, nothing is really lost ...

Cori's First FLUP - With Pics
Mandarin(a) replied to CorinaMarie's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
That's great! You could add that pressing TAB+Ctrl changes items in reversed direction. Very useful if you accidentaly hit TAB too many times ... Took me way to long to discover this, clicking TAB to circle through items again -
Cannot plant trees on flat surface not right next to water with Cascadia tree controller.
Mandarin(a) replied to Abrams's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
That is probably because the tree controller was made that way. I have never used it, so I can guarantee you, but some others, for example c.p.'s Missouri Breaks tree controller - it doesn't plant anything on flat lands at all. Solutions: choose different tree controller, one that will plant trees where you want, or; terraform your map a bit, make it bumpier - that should enable planting trees where you want them. Hope that helps -
Future cities concept art
Mandarin(a) replied to KonstantinII's topic in Architecture & Urban Planning
I always like to look at some bizarre but amazing cities. Those really look like an option for the future when the environmental burden could become to heavy ... -
They really look like mushrooms ...

Since the Wiki is up and working (it is readable), I can give you a link - I think this is what you are looking for. Btw, I have an old backup of SimCity1.dat and the values for walking, driving, bus and truck are a little bit lower than those on the Wiki. I think I haven't got NAM installed at the time I made that backup; is there anything else (mod, patch ...) that could play with values?
