naw i think it would not let me do that, the "R" would have to be demolished, which in turn demolishes the rest of whatever is left of that square

YES! I know about that!! but i thought the overlapping buildings was a bit too odd for me so i never tried to build in this way....i would only use this similar method (demolish the left side of the square instead) if i just wanted specifically to build houses and not have them disappear into bigger buildings.

HELLO EVERYONE.........My name is Pete. I'm from Los Angeles, California USA. I now live in the state of Oregon, USA.... i been on simtropolis here for about a year and a half now so its about time to introduce myself. In relative terms, i am still a newbie to this website, HOWEVER.......i am definitely not a newbie to the SimCity games. I've been playing SimCity for 35 years now. In 1990, i started playing the very first version that came on a 3.5 inch floppy disk with that blue label. I believe i still have that disk floatin around here somewhere's .....I first started playing this game on an IBM 286 computer, before even the first Intel Pentium chips, with a 800x600 screen on a Windows 3.1 operating system. "286" because the CPU speed was only 286MHz. I actually was able to get over 500,000 population on that, which was like about the maximum on there...i kinda cheated it though by building all rails and no roads-and it worked! The original SimCity game was printable, you could print out the whole city on your computer printer. (it would print out on several many pages, then you just line em up). I even had a map editor for that. .....but wow, have things really come a long long way. I have a screen now thats 9 times bigger....I still remember a long time before there was any internet at all. i moved on to playing SimCity 2000 on a Compaq Persario computer, which included the first terrain leveling features. SimCity 3000 followed quickly after; that had the first cheat codes i used so that i could build any building i want and have it functional without them disappearing or going abandoned. ....and then on to SimCity 4 right when it came out in the early 2000's. I still have the original dual CD disk version of SimCity 4. I also have the original disk version for Rush Hour....although i lost the CD key for it early on so i had to hack into the game disk in order to use it lol. my SimCity 4 disk version crashes now and won't work so last year i had to buy the digital version off of Steam. SimCity 5 WAS A TOTAL FLOP!!! i know better not to waste my time so i never even bothered with it once. LOL. edit: So like i got a region going right now, its called "Subvert County," its about to hit 30 million people soon. Its named after a city it contains, "Subvert City;" Subvert City is the main city of the region at 12.6 million people. This city is named after a song "Subvert City" by the Subhumans, a 1980's British punkrock band. The song is about a great utopian city. this is the most populated city and region ever for me So like i'm not so good with this graphical programing and making these visual mods. i am more better with HTML, running webservers and hosting websites, remote computer access, computer networks, network surveillance, and hacking stuff. So i am blessed to have this diverse community of modders and Sim'ers making the SimCity game content so much richer because EA Games did such a short handedly crappy job on SimCity 4 and left so many many things out, not even the Rush hour expansion did it any justice. EA Games has a bad rep of ruining everything they touch (e.g. Maxis Games, Westwood Studios,... to name a couple). So in final, if it weren't for all of you Sim'ers and modders out there, SimCity 4 would also be a total flop. We are all blessed to have you, and keep up the good work ...make sure your documentation and instruction is clear and concise! thank you, you all have a good day now........
