I have closed this map and moved on to another 😎 Also, I am busy with work and have less spare time to play But no worries, in the meantime I have set up a few cities in a new region and have permitted the gambling so the is a income of 100 simolians each month and have let thos cities in the background of the PC 😋 When I have more time I can start with some cities already having several millions to spend Here is an example from my new region

Hi I have been trying new stuff in my most recent region and I wanted to add the harbour to one of my cities Now wathever I do, lower terrain, raise terrain, set up the harbour on a different place, set up rail first(and thus make it impossible to get a harbour at all) How can I connect the harbour to a railway? And for that matter, connect it to a road(my next question wil be how to connect a ferry to the roads)

I think I found it(have to search in 3 different folders) But it seems I already changed the name of the file and now I have a new region configuratie (configuration) file

Where can I find this region.ini file? I have looked in the maxis folder and in the user/saved games/bananaland , but can find the file you are refering to Also, when I use search in the maxis folder I can find different ini files, but not the one for bananaland

I have downloaded Bananaland version 2 and I am going to give it a try, but is there a way I can change the name of the region?

Small update, I have created the first metro line 😺 It didn't cost much to build and the exploitation cost are something I can manage(for now..) It als seems the peeps have been waiting for this, although I don't see any effect on the use of cars I will try to to expand the metro lines and see where this will go On the overall picture, Lost hope is doing fine and I hope to reach the 200k peeps mark soon

I have a question for @TheMurderousCricket In your signature you say that you should avoid building an operahouse. Why? In Lost hope I have the possibillity to build it but you write it's evil... Small update, the total region is close to 5 million peeps Lost hope have reached the 100.000 peeps mark, but somehow I don't seem to get further over 100k, no matter how much I build. Money/income wise I am doing very well and even when a disaster happens I think I can survive. I am not completly satisfied with the connections on the highways, I would like to create another connection of both rings in the south east, but have to work on that. The center starts to look like a real city center and I have placed some landmarks to make it look like downtown (fill in an American city name) or (replace American name with a Chinese city, maybe Chongqing) There is still a lot to do and many residential areas have to be replaced and made into commercial areas. Down south I have created a hot spot for education and placed the universcity, the city universcity, highschool, private highschool and junior school close together. I also placed a universcity hospital closeby so medical research can be done in the same place 😎 I also started to creat some other areas with highrise buildings outside of the center and will concentrate those areas around train stations all around the map. Looking at the traffic everything looks ok and also the life expectenscy is not something I worry about Stay tuned, I am going to play for another hour or so and this region is almost completed 😛

I am planning to make as much as possible connections to the neighbor cities. And that is ofcourse when I can afford it and when it fits into my plan of making a second ring of highways

Small update, the first ring of highways is completed and I made a ring of railroads around the highways. The first hospital is placed and all the different school types have a place on the map.

The game is on and I made the first highway and railroad connection Now the city is just starting and so far there is only a fire station, a energy plant, water facility and 2 train stations There is something funny though. There is somebody living close to a train station and all this peep has to do is cross the road and jump on the train.... But no, this peep is so happy with his car that in the morning commute he takes his car and travels to the train station on four wheels When going home after work this same peep takes a detour and likes to show of his cabriolet and makes his way home 😎 I really like where this is going 🤣

@TheMurderousCricket Ofcourse there is a need for R$$ or R$$$, but I am still a long way from that 😉 But I also would like to mention that with low density plots you can also have high income and starting with low density living areas combined with high density commercials worked best for me in the past and made me the most profit(and kept me going) Now for this large city I do have a plan and if it works, I don't know, there are so many things to think of and everything cost money to maintain(building things in SC4 isn't the challenge, beeing able to maintain your investments is) But back to the plan, I want to create a ring of highways around the city center and beyond that another highway that circles the city. This second "ring" is for the connection to other cities since there are small industrial cities and medium residential/commercial cities around it. I also want to create a railway system that goes deep into the center of the city and has connections to the cities around it. I think the best way to explain what I am thinking of is to show a small map with highways and railroad lines. How I am going to do this and make it work, I really don't know yet, the plan is all in my head. 😁

Lost hope, the final tile of the greenland region I don't want industrial areas in this city This is the playing ground for this city. There are lots of connections to surrounding cities and I already got the tourist trap and those connections will cost me money, and I haven't started yet 🤣 So let's start small and see how things devellop I made my first income, now let's see if I can make more money and build a healthy city Stay tuned, I will update when I can keep a positive income on this tile and also update when I fail!

Almost done and ready for the only large tile in the region. I think I have to do some tweaking on the railroads and highways before I really start at the largest land in the Greenland region and after that I can really close it and start looking at another region and start using everything I learned so far

@TheEstGuy, I think I will work on your banana republic when I have finished this region. It really looks nice and it has actually everything I am looking for. Flatland, mountains, rivers, islands and maybe be even(with some imagination) a coastal area

Small update, reached the 4.5 million mark and there is still room for more. I would say it will be possible to reach 5 million peeps before starting to devellop the mayor region
