  1. p.s. Thanks for your reply earlier. I figured out how to comment on XoXide's original thread so hopefully they are still reading and reply.
  2. If I load both mods will they interfere with each other? What keystrokes do I use to make it work? Hoping someone is still reading and replying. I know I'm a little late to the party.
  3. p.s. This is the XoXide mod ...
  4. There has to be something about the correct keystrokes then because you can see in that .JPG it is loaded properly. Correct?
  5. Either that or I just don't know what the correct keystrokes are for the raise/lower tool ... I thought they were M and N. If the problem is something as silly as that then maybe I shouldn't be playing LOL.
  6. Thank you. I think the problem I'm having is I can't figure out which folder to place the .package file into. SimCityData or SimCityUserData ... and then within the userdata tree does it go into the folder titled "packages"? See attached .JPGs.
  7. If anyone is still following this thread please help. I am having no luck getting mods to work. I've used the online video tutorial explaining how to download and extract the files, and then placed them into the folder on my drive. But they just don't work. For the moment I'm pretty happy with the game as is, but I'd really like to be able to drop and raise roads so that I can create interchanges and over/under passes. If anyone knows what I might be missing please help.
  8. Hey all, Looking for thoughts ... I have OmegaCo running alongside gambling, landmarks, five megatowers, and hi tech (producing processors, TVs and computers). The city is in game year 11 with monthly profit between $250-400K Simoleons from transactions, and is very stable ... haven't had a fire, death, or crime in several game years. All taxes are set at 0%. My problem is that I'd really like to upgrade the OmegaCo HQ to level two so that I can get VSTOL delivery of oil and ore. This will enable me to eliminate a trade depot and develop the land that depot sits differently. It seems like every time the franchises get within <500 Simoleons of the $12,500 goal for upgrade it slips backward for some reason. I can't figure out why the franchises keep deteriorating. The production lines are maxed out and buildings aren't being abandoned so it has to be a supply issue perhaps? I'm wondering if I should shut off export of processors for the moment in order to speed up production of Omega at the factory. Exporting only TVs and computers won't hurt my bottom line profit margin at all. Thanks in advance to anyone with thoughts or suggestions.
  9. OmegaCo Franchise dilemma

    Now that is IRONIC. As soon as a post the question I FINALLY get the upgrade! SMH
  10. OmegaCo Franchise dilemma

    OK ... never mind on the processors angle. They're not used for Omega ... only for the drones (but of course I can't produce drones until I get the upgrade in place). And it doesn't appear that I have any supply issues with oil and ore. So why the heck do the franchises keep sliding backward JUST as they close in on $12.5K? #frustrated and #annoyed.
  11. Omega factory success?

    I have OmegaCo running alongside gambling, five megatowers, and hi tech (producing processors, TVs and computers). The city is in game year 11, is very stable ... haven't had a fire, death, or crime in several game years. I'm pulling $400K+ Simoleons consistently from transactions and have all taxes set at 0%. My problem is this: I'd really like to upgrade the OmegaCo HQ so that I can get VSTOL delivery of oil and ore. This will enable me to eliminate a trade depot and develop the occupied land differently. It seems like every time the game gets within <500 Simoleons of the $12,500 goal for upgrade it slips backward for some reason. I can't figure out why the franchises keep deteriorating. The production lines are maxed out and buildings aren't being abandoned so it has to be a supply issue?

  12. I am working on four cities in Viridian Woods: Gougin Valley, Matisse Plains, Rousseau Flats, and Monet Plateau. All cities are between 70k-110k. I built Gougin Valley and Matisse Plains first, and used them to found an archology. After it was completed, as expected, I started to see a significant uptick in the visitors to those two cities. I then started Rousseau Flats and Monet Plateau. They both recognize the archology and are also seeing similar surges in visitors, but for some reason the archology only shows a population of 28K when it shows 1.74M as viewed from Gougin and Matisse. Is there a way to get the game to update the population for the archology as viewed from Rousseau Flats and Monet Plateau? The reality is that the benefits are there, but it's driving an OCD type like me a bit nuts. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
  13. Archology Population Question

    I was wondering that as well. I was looking at it again last night. What is REALLY weird is that one of the cities is showing an archology population around 28K, but visitors in excess of 133K. I'm not losing sleep over it, because the cities are self-sustaining, but the visitors increase really enhances the bottom line on the balance sheet. LOL weird archology stuff.pdf
  14. What to do with the Academy

    Personally I find the building so cool that I'd keep it around anyway just for aesthetic purposes.
  15. Archology Population Question

    Any ideas about what to do if that never happens? It's been nearly a week.
  16. Raise and lower roads

    Have they removed this since 2014? I'm not finding it at all.
  17. Glad I came across this topic. Since 2013, they've added several other landmarks of St. Basil's Cathedral, Kolner Dom, leaning tower of Piza. Does annoying know if it's only the original three that influence building style or do the additional buildings have this effect as well?
  18. Tech Level not Increasing

    Actually, you need both because the community college will upgrade the industry around it to middle tech and mid $$, whereas the university will upgrade industry and residential to high tech/$$. So while I agree it isn't necessarily an imperative to have equal amounts of high and mid wealth residents, the demand bars encourage you to. It is a typical development problem that as people in urban centers become better educated, they demand higher property values--so you end up with mostly mid and high wealth and a dearth of low wealth. I'm kind of OK with that, but it means you have to start another connected city of mostly low wealth and have those Sims commute to work in the unfilled low wealth jobs in your city.
  19. Same issue here. City of 120k with apparently 190k bins of recycling. I watch it run on the waste disposal map and everything is picked up by noon. And the recycling centers shutdown saying there are no recyclables to process as well. No traffic jams preventing movement of trucks either. I'm also not getting any "the garbage is starting to smell" warnings. All my buildings except a couple levels on my mega towers have bright green happy faces. So I think this is a bona fide glitch.
