  1. I've seen Cleveland from the roller coasters at Cedar Point, about 60 miles away. It has to be an ultra clear day.
  2. Simtropolis Surpasses 500,000 Members

    Awesome! (I'm still active too!) Congrats, ST!
  3. Show us your Airports!

    You guys' taxiways and terminals make me so jealous. I just tried building an airport today, and it looks awful. I don't know if I didn't download a pack with some good terminals, but mine just looks like it was randomly thrown together by a drunken engineer. I would post screenshots, but it's just embarrassing.
  4. Did anyone find this strange message in SC4?

    I doubt it's anything. Aren't all the spoken words in the game in Simspeak? It's most likely just gibberish.
  5. Insider's Look: GlassBox Game Engine (Part 1)

    Oh, man. I'm going to need a new computer. And I'll keep my old computer so I can keep playing SC4 in case this game gets too insane.
  6. Ending a Highway

    I think you might be able to drag one-way roads there also. But I may be thinking of highway to avenue to one-way roads.
  7. Can you imagine walking around in your created city?

    Sometimes I imagine doing this. Or taking transportation around the city. My region has become a fantasy life for me. It's a place I want to live because I'd lived in crappy places for the past five years. Not anymore, though. Edit: By "not anymore," I mean I live in a great place now. I'd still live in my SimCity!
  8. I wish I knew that option was available before. I looked it up, and it's in the My Sim menu. It figures it'd be in the menu I seldom open. Thanks.
  9. I really don't like it when I try to build something or put roads down to flatten land, and a UDI thing remains in the way of the cursor. I can't click where I want without going into the UDI window. Annoying.
  10. A power pole that's used to carry electricity across a river is sparking and smoking. I noticed the smoke when viewing it from far away, and when I zoomed in, I saw sparks. My city has enough power to cover its consumption, and I haven't gotten any messages or notices about power. Why is this happening? Is it bad? Can I fix it?
  11. I take a semi-realistic U.S. approach. I build a university and set up a college or two nearby. Universities have colleges within them (college of science, college of education, college of nursing, etc.), so I just do it like that, plop a couple of libraries nearby and pretend it's a huge university.
  12. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    Here you go, the ones made by jeronji on SC4D. I know this is a couple of months old, but where can you get all the paths to make that zoo more realistic? I downloaded the zoo, but it's just various exhibits and entrances. Where can I find paths to connect all the exhibits?
  13. What to Name My Citys?

    I wonder if I'm the only person who makes a different mayor for each city.
  14. What to Name My Citys?

    I've started getting my city names (and mayor names) from episodes of "The Simpsons." Ogdenville, Capital City, Hank Scorpio, etc. Or just go to Google Maps and randomly zoom in on places. Open a phonebook. Go to a news website and write down names of cities there. That's what I do when I've run out of ideas.
  15. Sparking power pole

    Ah. I've got the waste-to-energy plant with funding to zero to get rid of garbage for free. You know, that way to beat the system. Will the pole continue sparking and smoking with no effect, or will it eventually get destroyed?
  16. APRIL FOOLS

    That was awesome.
  17. My computer had a crazy blue screen of death and stop error, and I had to reinstall Windows. That killed all my regions and everything, so I'm trying to reinstall now. But I've got a problem. After I insert the second disc (I have SimCity 4 Deluxe), the game attempts to run, but it crashes. I get the blue screen of death with a stop error. I believe it says, "STOP: 0x00000024," but I may be mistaken. I can restart OK, and a message comes up asking if I want to report the error. When I reported the error, I was sent to a Web page (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2813?=eng). I run Windows XP, and these two downloads are only for Vista. Can anyone identify this problem and possibly help me figure out how to fix it? I am updating Windows now. I updated my video card drivers. I have an Nvidia GeForce 7300 LE. I have an Intel Core2 at 2.13 GHz. I have 1 gig of RAM. I have Service Pack 2.
  18. Problem installing SC4

    I haven't done anything yet because I'm still afraid of crashing my entire computer when I install the game. Insert User Here, I can't do that because I can't run the game. I get the blue screen of death when it finishes installation (I don't remember if the game runs automatically upon installation), and I get the same error when I run it after restarting. I downloaded the update from EA, so I may try installing the game (despite the crash) and installing the patch (found here: http://simcity.ea.com/update/index.php). Think that might help?
  19. Problem installing SC4

    I'm dumb. You'll have to be more specific. How do I run as administrator? What is that?
  20. Problem installing SC4

    What can I do about this? It worked before, and I haven't changed anything inside my CPU. Is there a way to make it run on one core?

  22. I hate to bump my thread, but it appeared right after the site went down, and it slid into oblivion. Can anyone help me with this at all? It's making me crazy not being able to play.
  23. NAM General Discussion Thread

    I can't download the new NAM from sc4devotion.com for some reason. I'm a member on the site, but no download link appears. I can read the comments and see the details of the download, but there is no download link. Can someone send me the exact URL for the download or something?
  24. Crime problem...

    The funniest one of these bugs is the country club. That always has lots of crime. I guess the crimes must be drunkenness or drunken driving. You know, all those rich folks getting plastered and driving golf carts around.
  25. It's a video game. I bet they just added it in to be fun and to keep you on your toes. I guess it's so you don't just run it on cheetah speed and go shopping or whatever.
