Well I'll keep that in mind for future reference. The reason I double posted was because I didn't know how to quote from two different people in the same post, it wasn't really a case of forgetting to say something it was that I was responding to two different people. It might seem kinda stupid to anyone who has been around for a long time, but I'm really not very experienced with forums or Sim City. But thanks for the info on the bats and lots.

I'm not quite sure I am ready for that yet ... but just out of interest for future reference ... do they need anything else with those or can I just add them as they are? ... I am a bit confused with Bats and Lots. I have put one Lot in my Documents / Plug ins folder and that seemed to work ... it was an art museum ... would this go in the same folder and do I need anything else with that or is it complete as it is? Thanks.

Then go to the budget window, and click on 'Neighbour Deals'. A window pops up that allows you to select the ammount to buy/sell. The game is made so that you'll make a profit, and not spend more on producing that you get from selling. When you go to the other city, some power lines/pipes will have appeared along the border. Connect them up to your city, and that's all there is to it! You can also start/edit the deal from the buying city, or cancel it at any point without pebnalty. Also, neighbor connections cost no more than just building the power lines/pipes would anyway. Using this method, two cities can share power and water facilities. Oh, and you can connect cities with roads and railways too, for garbage deals.quote> Now I am making money... Thanks... Now all I have to do is balance it out ... the time spent in real life & playing this game ...

No, You can't just send money just that quick to a struggling city, however, if the struggling city has surplus supplies, they can sell them to raise cash. In other words, you can only be able to get city loans from 'SimNation Savings and Loans'. But then, it's about 8.5% extra to pay back once you take it out, and I can't get loans less than $5000quote> What do you mean by surplous supplies and how do you sell them? Please explain, as I am new at this game.
