Pixelrage

I've been playing SC4 for years and have never gotten night lighting to work. I basically just gave up with it. Only a good 30% of my city's areas light up at night, and I've followed the instructions...

What is the grass mod you're using? That's the best one I've ever seen. It can't be on the stex...is it?

Looks great!! Could you please let me know what the name of those ploppable fences/pointy trees are? I can't find them anywhere in the STEX. Thanks

The grid annoys me. I want naturally curving roads & highways (no elbow turns), variable # lanes, overpasses that go up 1, 2 or 3 stories high and can go under/over other bridges. Cities or regions should serve purposes, like a mining town, a lumber town, a "media capital" city, etc. Being able to draw borders on the region with a border tool would be really nice. Oh, and terraforming in region view (not just in city view) would also be invaluable If I were to vote for one thing in particular, though, it would probably be to bring back the water & river tools...and let us create bodies of water that are above sea level, that can spill into the sea via waterfalls or other transitions.

wow, this looks incredible. I love the trees on page 2.

belfastuniguy: wow, what a great job there

You could write the nice to have but unused stuff out on a CD or DVD and take them out of your plugins. Saves a lot of loading time and memory overhead if you prune that tree.quote> I tend to create regions that have one unique "gimmick", such as a section of a city that has a theme park, or a section that has a unique industrial area with certain ploppables, etc. Through the years, the plugins have really gotten numerous. The problem for me isnt with the load time or with crashing, but with the fact that my parks menu is 10 miles long.

if only there were one for highways!

I use that 1x1 aluminum shed from STEX, and the power ordinance, which allows that one shed to power an entire region

jacqulina: your underwater work is amazing, I was looking at that CJ. It's really inspiring, I never paid attention to using underwater rocks and plants before

also, don't use those crappy 1 tile subway entrances that came with SC4, get the roadtop ones from STEX!! They don't require you to demolish a square.

"in the works" could simply mean that it's an idea being discussed at meetings.

Also, check to make sure your subways are actually connecting to the blue box in underground view. Many times, I made the stupid mistake of not doing this properly. Or, sometimes the subway line itself was severed by terraforming. I have the opposite problem...being way over capacity!

cjah: great work there...it really blended in well. I can never get those ploppables to look good enough!

I would love to see regular highway pieces that take the curve of that bridge. I just hate making highways that wind up looking like they were cut by a jigsaw.

that could be a very important step into making some non-grid conforming bridges

try the link 3 posts up. I haven't had success with this in-game, it doesnt seem to work, at least not for me.

this mod doesn't work
