  1. Biggest Regional Population

    Originally posted by: Modena81 I'm new at SC4 (have experience with the other sim city games though). I just started a custom region and have 10.000 sims spread out over 3 small cities. I'm aiming for a 2 million region. I'm curious though, what are the population possibilities of the three city sizes. What are reasonable populations for small, medium and large cities?quote> Well, if you take my two medium sized residential tiles at the middle top (The big blue, gray slab of skyscrapers) as an example. They pack over 1.4 milion sims each and that's with buildings from original sim city 4 rush hour and without any cheats except SMM (Simtropolis metro mercy hospitals) if you can call it a cheat. Because A small tile is 1/4 the size of a medium tile A large tile is four times the size of a medium tile. You can theoretically pack 350 000+ sims on a small tile 1.4+ milion sims on a medium tile 5.5-6+ milion sims on a large tile. That's without plopping, cheating or dilapidating exisiting buildings. The "plus" signs are there because I do have some commercial zones in there. If they were replaced by residential. 1.6+ milion sims on a medium tile won't be impossible-
  2. ThePirateBay.org , who also heed the charge in Swedish Politics as the Pirate Party, has been shut down and servers siezed by authorities in an atempt to disrupt their torrent distribution to copywrited materials. Although no copywrite law has been violated in Sweden, political international muscle, steming from private organizations, have flexed enough to stun TPB's operations and possibly its upcoming elections later this year. http://slashdot.org/articles/06/05/31/1226224.shtml http://wiredfire.org/index.php?q=node/63
  3. TPB is siezed and temporarily shut down

    I don't think so.. never underestimate teh powa of geeks. I just read somewhere on the net that if Pirate Bay can't continue here in Sweden they'll just move to another country like Ukraine. Unless president Bush turns the whole world into a police state, convenient and easy to access digital stuff like torrents will never disappear. And that goes to all the other links in the chain, p2p, newsgroups, private ftps etc..
  4. TPB is siezed and temporarily shut down

  16. NAM General Discussion Thread

    Ok, Thanks Tropod
  17. NAM General Discussion Thread

    Tropod. 1) I have run the game at least for 50 sim years and with every city in my region. 2)I've read it but cant find anything except this. Think of it as a limited access road/highway; or a service road, slip road, or alley-way. That's abit vague if you ask me... Can someone fill it in?
  18. NAM General Discussion Thread

    Quite a nice mod you got there frogface . But I do have two questions. 1) After I switched the Darkmatter transit mod and all other transit fixes against the pathfinding plugin file included in the network addon tool my commute time skyrocket from 10 minutes to around 40 minutes and mass transit usage dropped nearly 70%. Was that supposed to do that? I used NetworkMod_Traffic_Plugin_PerfectPathfinding_HighCapacity_10xSpeeds_10xCommute. 2)I have no idea what the extra road tool in the highway section does except being normal road. Can someone explain that to me?
  19. And how exactly do I suppose to from the water texture get a complete mod out of it?
  20. The water effect on these pictures are amazing! Can anyone tell me where to download that?
