What is the best highway layout?
umnoscottishhootsmon replied to umnoscottishhootsmon's topic in SC4 Showcase
this is a rubbishy map of my town the highways are disused te rail is disused and the light blue bit is congested maximally which is somewhat good only the blue roads (highway) close to the light blue bit have any traffic on them however those mindwrentchingly stupid sims(god bless 'em) insist on taking little country roads packed with junk and cars and little bits of paper instead of a big fat highway i must thank microsoft fo the paint program without it i don't know what i would do -

Electric wires above water
umnoscottishhootsmon replied to the_reb's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
i think it's pylons in the middle of the water and want high-tension pole like in SC3000 rather than pylons just sticking out the water but i hate those yellow things too -
i find once i get more than 50,000 then the population skyrockets so be very careful or you end up with cities like mine congested, congested, congested, and maybe a litlle more congested and your sruggling to school everyone and treat everyone and arrest everyone and house everyone and give them jobs i find commercial gives more jobs per square once in medium density so scrap industry after you run out of space unless you are on a large tile my best city has medium crime terrible traffic average everything else and 620,000 people on a medium tile usually you wait have lots of neighbour connections as may as possible and of rail,monorail,el rail,subway and road and leave some room for highways and seaports and any cap relief then have it bearing in mind you can afford it
