  1. Feeling overwhelmed...

    SimCityHawk replied to TheMurderousCricket's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Just wait and see @TheMurderousCricket ... even though SC4 is a great game and very addictive, eventually you'll get tired of it and return to good ol' SC3000 again That's what happened to me after having loads of fun with SC4 for a few years.

    @THijSCiTy Love your experiments and documentation. You investigate many things in this game that I have thought of sporadically while playing. For the record, though, I think reaching 2 mio. inhabitants is where your city will really stand out from "regular" big cities from players. My usual maximum for filling out the whole map with a realistic setting for a really big city is around 1,8-1,9 mio inhabitants.

    In some old city I've made (Rotterdam), I have tried to achieve a customized port layout:

    @TheMurderousCricket Wow, that tunnel thing you've got going is amazing. Want to try something similar, when I have the time. Kinda quiet from me these days

  5. Some SC3K questions

    SimCityHawk replied to Alianger's topic in SimCity 3000

    In addition to the informative answers from @brancra I will also add this: 4. Water deals are indeed possible to maintain in the long run. All my cities run on neighbour deals. Then I avoid the irritating aspect of rebuilding ugly utility buildings every 100 years. 5. To get neighbours to buy your power, you need to produce more power than you consume.

  6. Some SC3K questions

    SimCityHawk replied to Alianger's topic in SimCity 3000

    In my experience you need to make it slightly elevated at those exact spots where the bridge starts and ends. On your picture, the land elevation is simply too low. Use the elevation tool to increase elevation +3/+4 levels at the two bridge "ends", and you will be able to build your bridge. EDIT: Also, I will add, that you need to make more space for your bridge. At the exact spot your want to build your bridge, you need to delete and unzone an area at the size of 3-4 lots around the "ends".

    I make them historical I usually create these low land value high-rises in the early stages of the city when land value generally is low. As the game progresses, as the "map center effect" comes into effect, they will just stand there side by side with astronomical land value buildings.

    @VetinarisClerk Nice. Seems like Fort Rivers downtown kinda changed its inner design? I have always liked the low density commercial buildings in the European building set. When bumped together like in your city it really does look like a historical merchant's center. Here's a picture of the downtown area in my new city. I like to create this weird mix between low-land value residential high-rises together with astronomical land value commercial skyscrapers.

  9. Modding Fun with SYS.PAK

    Jeeeez....... Is this possible? It would be complete game changer for me, lol.

    Great @TheMurderousCricket - I'm looking forward to see I had some nice newly-made stuff to show, but then my computer recently crashed with all my files and I wasn't able to regenerate them :-( So I started off here in 2021 from scratch with a new city. And the first thing I want to show is this nice little Christian community suburb, where the local rule is that no building can be taller than the local cathedral. It's an extremely sacred place to the locals. Other than this one simple rule, which the inhabitants will enforce with great enthusiasm, the community is planned out orderly with mid-sized residential square blocks.
  11. Hello all, As we have a nice little sub-forum going on here, this will be our new main SimCity 3000 thread. Here, you can post pictures/screenshots of your city project. No rules here, just post whenever you feel like your city needs a little showing. You might even feel like writing some additional text as a showcase of your city. Also, I think this thread is a great opportunity to post the small quirky gimmicks and other cool stuff this beloved game still surprises us with.
  12. I suggest we make a new thread called "Show us what you are working on in SC3000" or something like that. This thread's title is misleading for what we use it for now. A new thread with a new title will be more comprehensive and more welcoming for new visitors. Heck, it might even increase the popularity and activity of this nice little SC3000-subforum we've got. What do you guys think @VetinarisClerk @The Thinker @Captain Adam @TheMurderousCricket @dencity @Prophet42 ? EDIT 06-02-2021: And so be it. The thread is located here:

  13. Games for stress relief and relaxation

    SimCityHawk replied to SimCityHawk's topic in Gaming Talk

    Woah, that sounds awesome. There's just something very special about planning and laying out your own parks in computer games. Have you played Roller Coaster Tycoon (the original one)? I think this game had about 50 different flowers, plants and trees aswell.

  14. How to recover .sc3 cities after factory reset of computer?

    SimCityHawk replied to SimCityHawk's topic in SimCity 3000

    Sadly, I'm afraid these cities are lost forever. Irritates me now that I just didn't take those screenshots back when we talked last time, lol :-). I had spent hundreds of hours on especially the Johannesburg city, playing a new "style" with more focus on detail. Let this be a lesson to everybody to take backups regularly! But what the heck, life moves on. There are more important things in the world to cry over than lost SimCity-cities, lol. And I surely had fun while making the cities. The process is the most important thing for me. I have just started a new city now, and in time I will need your help with screenshots I think
