  1. Main Street Shops

    a wonderful addition - thanks for making them
  2. What We Know So Far

    Originally posted by: gstommyleeTilted Mill has been working closely with Maxis on it.quote> while this sounds nice, it doesn't alleviate my concerns, since Maxis didn't seem to care enough about the series during its latter half. Looks like they're too busy counting their Sims earnings right now.
  3. Theoretic Question

    Expansion pack, by far... or at least a patch to fix all of the problems, which is the least we deserve.
  4. Why "Cartoony" is not a valid argument

    SC4 looks pretty realistic to me..
  5. Misnomer -- could it be we are mistaken?

    I highly, highly doubt SCS is going to be it's own "entity" like Sim Copter or Streets of Sim City....if it is, then it would have integrated with the saved game files from SC4 or Sims 2 in some way.
  6. Yesterday made the news...

    Originally posted by: Ntq$310 hmm, i glad chris said that, but how could he make suck a big mistake like that!?!quote> either he didn't know the magnitude of the response it would bring... or the new comment is an example of spin-doctory?
  7. It Is Not Their Fault

    TM will listen to the fans and do what they can within their realm of capability. What that means is "trying" to fit things in, but what that won't result in is starting from square one and doing it the way we want. They're still contractors and are being told what to do by EA. The game has already undergone development. That's why all of the optimism of "well, maybe it's going to turn out great" and "that was just an early screenshot" might be a little bit of kidding ones self.
  8. Default Maxis buildings control

    Thanks! I've been meaning to use it, but I don't want to kill my region.
  9. Political Correctness

    This attitude has infested the USA, more than ever in the past 15 years or so. You can't do/say/write anything without offending someone. This is basically what happens when a government caters only to 'special interest' groups - others spring up and want the same treatment, and it goes out of control. It fosters a separatist mentality.
  10. Yesterday made the news...

    I wish these kinds of articles would make it to a really important site, like IGN
  11. Things that might change your mind

    consider it sarcasm
  12. Default Maxis buildings control

    On this same topic, what happens if you use that mod with an already developed city? Will it crash to the desktop?
  13. The Report of the Death of Simcity 4

    I'm actually glad to hear about how disappointing SC5 will most likely be. It kind of let me know that I can continue playing SC4 without feeling that it would be a waste of time in the long run.
  14. Creationism vs. Evolution

    Right, because everything came from thin air with no interjection of something intelligent.
  15. Another Option?

    I think it would be a much better idea to just get the source code of SC4.
  16. Things that might change your mind

    if maxis comes back and does it themselves, and it looks better than SC4 and is more intricate.
  17. Misnomer -- could it be we are mistaken?

    I think TM would have at least said "actually, this isn't the next Sim City" if it weren't.
  18. How do you feel about the SCS announcement?

    abvex: same here, and making a photo-realistic upgrade should have been the next step in this game's life.
  19. How do you feel about the SCS announcement?

    You'd probably need a copy of the game engine they use. I know there's a community of people out there who have re-created XCOM: UFO Defense, and they did a kickass job with it.
  20. I'd definitely ask the big questions: are they getting rid of the grid?... how "open" the game will be to modding?... Then again, this is me attempting to care about SC5
  21. How do you feel about the SCS announcement?

    also, I see the grid is back
  22. How do you feel about the SCS announcement?

    I remember seeing better graphics in the mid 1990s. No level of great gameplay can save something like that.
  23. How do you feel about the SCS announcement?

    it kind of reminds me of that Disney MMORPG, "toontown", come to think of it
  24. They probably mean that it will have less emphasis on the city building aspect, and more on "something else" (whatever that is) I'm willing to bet that in some way shape or form, it will integrate with Spore, or The Sims, or both. This is definitely going to be a cross-marketing tool to make more money. Just when you thought nothing could be more ridiculous than the Sims with it's insane number of high priced expansion packs.
  25. Mexican Port of Entry

    great effort, it could use better textures, but I'm thinking that this could also be modified to make a great looking tollbooth, too
