I hope i will not see bus stops or metr

I want to plop everything because i don't want the city I make looks the same. I remember in simcity 4 often the game was used to grow the same type of building one near the other probably because simcity select the best building needed in an area following the rci request. Also if there are corner houses the growing metod could insert them onto the map not correctly (correct L _ not correct _L ). I'm not a skyscraper fan, i like much more european style cities and their hystorical buildings than a manathan style, but i think that who plays the game should have the freedom to build his cities as he likes. I don't want exclude zones from CU but i want them so: if i built a res bld in an area in the map, the area should be marked as residential. Or if I prezone an area for residential, after i can only plop res.building on it. I don't know how things go on in your country...but i live in italy and infact a general plan sign the zones in the city where building are allowed or not, but the land owner must wait that the city goverment accept his project, if it doesn't likes the project, the land owner can't build anything.

I belong to the "plop all party" so i like to build what i want where i want (if i have enough money). I think that if a player want to spend tons of money to build many skyscrapers, the game should let him to do it. But...probably a small city can't support so many financial building...so if player will query his skyscrapers, he will discover that they are almost empty, so he had spent many money to earn only few revenues! When a city become bigger with many commercial and industrial bld, than financial bld begin to develop faster and skyscrapers will increase their workers generating enough revenues. I think the same thing about residential bld... If i would plop rich and high density bld in an area with few services i will discover that they are few populated, because rich people wants more services, and poor people can't spend so many money to live in rich houses. At the same time if i would plop low cost bld in a central and well serviced area they will be mainly crowded by poor people and not rich people because rich people don't like to live into ugly houses. I could go on with other examples but i think that my thought is enough clear...i don't want to see the game change automaticaly buildings onto the map, i want to see the population judge my choices, using my buildings if i do the right choose. if i had done a mistake or i had changed my mind i should spend money to demolish "wrong choice building" and spend other money to replace it with another one.

hehehe Use the altavista babelfish translator to understand what they say in the french city life forum

This is a very important tread I doubt that is possible to do it only modding dat files, but i hope i mistake. It is very boring that after 4 simcity releases, we are playing again with a single square grid!! Crossing 2 square grids with a 45 degrees angle could solve the problem of diagonals roads definitively. The new dual grid would be divided into triangles instead squares so it would be a very good effect on lot shapes fantasy too! For example, we could plop lots with many shapes: square and rectangle lots (They follow the straight grid or the 45 degrees angle grid direction), triangle lots (They follow both the two grid), and so on... So, if we had a so dual grid, we could have building with walls oriented with the diagonal streets direction too!! I hope that maxis will upgrade this obsolete grid. More simcity players will agree with this upgrade, more chances we have that maxis will do it. Tell me what do you think or if you have better ideas...
