One cities of my new region has a probleme: The big library was available but I didn't build it for a couple of years of ingame time. Now, it isn't available any longer. The conditions required are all still fullfilled but I can't select it in the menues. The button still exists, but it's grey. I have allready build plenty of small libraries, the city has more than 200.000 people and the ratings of the mayor are quite high. What's the fault? Is it plopable for a periode of time only?

I would like to post a request. I don't know how to do so, Englich isn't the nativ language of mine, you know? Well, let's try: I like to name streets and places. That for I use the signs. The letters written on the ground do look quite well. I can accept the colours used. The grey signs (standing around) are much to big, and awful grey. Primary I would like to use a smaller version. By the way, colours could be changed a bit. Many thanks for reading Gamble

O.K. i don't mind about that no longer. Many thanks to all of you. Gamble

Or does it mean, the mayor used some cheating? I did in that region (sorry). (I do not think cheats are necessary, but for testing and learning it' o.k., I believe.) Possible or not?

Hallo everybody, here's another question I don't know the answer to: I restarted a projekt I started with long time ago. While watching the regionmap I suddenly realised an regionwide earthquake happening. Everything was shacking a bit. I was scared at first. I started several cities to watch the causes, but nothing was distroyed nowhere. All cities I took a look to where existing and working properly. What is this earthquake all about, what does it want to tell me? Is it a warning of global warming, or stuff like this? I allways offer masses of space to the industry, you know? Or is it a bug? If anybody has seen this before, please tell me what you think of this. Many thanks Gamble

Well, yes, make backups. Not only for SimCity.

I think you are right. The Sims do not think of using the ferrys in my cities. I've checked the traffic data in game: There are more roads than people in nearly all the cities of mine at the moment. They all travel by underground (how strange is that), all cities have low streettraffic. The cities can afford the underground easyly, but in fact there is no more traffic to happen on streets an ferrys. I've decided to let my cities grow bigger at first. I'm going to check the ferrys later. No city of my new region is bigger than 60.000 people and all have plenty of roads, bridges and ferry terminals. Certainly you can dance on the streets of my cities at the moment. Highways all around, but no Sim with a car anywhere. At the moment traffic is solved by undergrond, mainly. Thank you all for advice Gamble

Why are the anchors keeping apear in grey? Doesn't it mean there's something wrong? I wouldn't mind if the Sims ain't like to use the ferrys, I'm going to build them anyway. May be they support traveling between the several citys the region got. See you later Gamble

Well, I've got several briges. Is that causing anything at all? The anchors are grey. I've checked that. Does this give you a hint to the probleme I certanly have? (certanly... is that written right? I'm not nativ)

Hello there, I have another probleme: My ferrys do not work. They've got energy and water, they are connected to the road, I always build a parkinglot next to them... I tried ifferent altitudes, nothing. What's that all about? Gamble

Sims do produce plenty of garbage. That's right. When the probleme is allready caused, and litter is nearly everywhere, the garbage to energy havn't got enough strenth to handle that. Build about two or three of them, to please the sims in future, and sell the waste to any neighbor, till the graph reaches the bottom again. A couple of Waste to energy buildings by their own aren't strong enough to fix it by themselves.

Here's another hint. Tle LE doesn't like the colour-quality set to 32bits. You have to run the computer under 16bit quality. Check out the settings of your systeme. I had this probleme once before.

I've found the probleme the LotEditor had. The program doen't run under colourquality at 32bit. I've changed this thing at windows and it works, now. I think I was missunderstood. Maybe because I'm talking bad english. The computer did allready have problemes. That's why it got in hands of professionals. By the way I ordered more RAM and they gave me... half as much as I payed. I reclaimed. frndofyaweh, you are right to say that you have to check everything by yourself, even if professionals are at work. Can you tell me why SC4Tool is still kidding? The computer reclaimes a bad initialisation (0xc0000135) . What does this mean, basicly? My computerskill is low, you know? It's good not to feel alown with this kind of problemes. Gamble

Hi Bluesence, like the others said, it takes time... I mean the sims have tr grow up. At first they are all sick and stupid, but they are young and ready to learn. It takes about 60 or 80 Years to be able to let sims live in skyscrapers. Sims have to get old to earn much money, like in real life. Various old sims can afford various expansive buildings. The young fellows do not. First industry makes the money. Later commercial even makes more of it. Just always remember, don't get blamed of the early raising of your income. For example, if you do not need enough energy to use a large powerplant, you can't buy one and lower the money to maintain. The same about water. Keep good neighbours, and sell them what you can't consume yourself. And let the time go by, as said before. If you do change cities often, it's need to be said, that selling goods to the neighbours brings more money with every year the deal is hold up. Never set a deal to zero, just to the smallest hights available. That's no cheat, is it? Highways are expensive. Use them sparely and late in time. As anybody's mayor ever died before? See ya Gamble

Here I am. I've got no idea which brand my videocard is made by. I've got a Geforce4. The RAM was insalled by professionals, not by myself. I even wouldn't know what to do, might be easy, but I never tried and don't want to break the computer. This means, finaly I can't tell whether anyboby has touched things you shouldn't touch. All other things are doing fine, like photos, chess, internet, expacting everything concerning SimCity4. What do you think, 391MB plugins-folder... ... much to big, or suiteable for the game? Are there limits and frontiers to care about? I will try out to use the LotEditor with less pluged in. Gonna see what comes out. By the way, I found out, SC4Tool is kidding either, today. It can't start because of an incorrect initialistion0xc0000135). What's that all about? Is anti-aliasing an option included in SimCity, or windows? The words anti and alias are similar in german, but the word Antialiassen doen't exist, I will keep on finding out. So long Gamble
