Are those .dat files in your pluggins folder?

You might want to go to the Simcity 4 site and install the update/patch directly from that site, it'll probably help out with the crashing, especially if you re-installed the game and haven't gone to the site to install the update. Just follow this link to the update page http://simcity.ea.com/update/index_update.php

was that smog i noticed??? cool.

Hi! I don't know whether or not this is the right place to post this or even if I can ask this question here, but I have (as in purchased) SimCity4 and the Rush Hour Expansion and I was wondering how I would go about backing up the CD. The original Rush Hour CD is VERY scratched and I'm scared that it's not going to be readable for much longer so I want to make a back up CD so that I can use the back up instead of the original. Is this at all possible?

It is? Oh I didn't know it was only $15...well, I still don't know if I can even afford that! (College Bound, ya know) lol! Thanks for the info noahdiehl!

Ok OK, does anybody know how to back up the RH disc because mine is VERY scratched and I don't want to take any more chances with it....

I don't know what's wrong with your firefighters, but the title of your topic made me laugh a lot!

These are the effects from the disease research center...I get those sometimes too. I guess it's kind of like the "polluting" effect of the building.

Yeah, I made an exact copy of the disc with a burning program but it only loaded up the picture with the bridge then it prompted to insert the Rush Hour disc... There must be some way I can do this...

Cool Planes!

Congrats on your first cj!

I have been playing this game since it came out and I never knew you could use those keys when zoning! Next time, I better read the manual...

I am a southern Californian and OMG it's HOT...todays high is expected to be at 110 degrees, but that's normal around here. I just don't want August to come around because that's when it gets the hottest and most humid. The weather here in the summer is UNBEARABLE! If you live down here, you can always expect the mercury to reach well into the 120's during the summer...

BackgroundSo the reason it's 4 years in the making is because I've been a member for four years at this site and haven't posted anything since I was waiting for the right city to showcase. After seeing the possibilities of SimCity through the works of other members this is what comes to fruition. *** a lot more coming soon.

Thanks Cleaner475, jacqulina, and joerg!!!

UPDATENUMBERDOS Hello Simtropolis! Good old City Hall. It has served the city council well, but sadly, as it slowly decays as time goes on, city council has unanimously agreed on relocating city hall to increase its capacity and efficiency. The proposed site for the new building has been stirring up heat from the city-based environmental group HAPPA (Humane Assimilation for People, Plants and Animals), though, because it will be located at the center of the Redemacher Park on historic Bonita Street and will require trees to be chopped down. The proposed site is located where all the tall bushy trees are. To ease the tensions, I decided to settle this democratically and hand the decision down to the citizens of Calipatria. Would they vote on the side of the city council and construct the new city hall in the park or would they defend the trees within the park and side with HAPPA....they decided...... . . . . .... . . . .... . ... . .. . . . . to construct a new city hall in the park!!! YEY DEMOCRATIC PROCESS!!! *** TRAFFICjams Calipatrians have informed me on the conditions they face as they venture off to work in the downtown area. They complain that many of the main avenues that lead to Downtown Calipatria begin as thin roads then widen into wider avenues. This transition is the cause of many traffic snarls and causes Calipatrians to lose precious minutes on the streets when they could be working hard in their offices. Below is one example of the transition from road to avenue. To solve this problem, I decided I would extend the avenues to where the roads originate, but this meant extending them all the way to the freeway. This also meant that all the businesses lining the avenues would have to be demolished to make room for the wider roads---there's nothing a few simoleans can't fix though. The end result is wider roads to downtown from freeway to coast, and a smoother, easier commute. *** Development in Downtown Calipatria has grown exponentially! In fact, commercial offices have been scouting the edge of the downtown area for empty parcels for which they will pay handsomely for. Residential development along the downtown area has also been increasing and is evident in the pictures below. More development!!! Wile touring the downtown area, I also had the distinct opportunity to visit the University of Calipatria and throw the season opening pitch at the UC Hornets' Stadium! While touring the university, I began to wonder about the Calipatrians who cannot afford a university education and pondered the idea of constructing a community college where tuition is cheap and affordable. I presented my plan to the city council and they loved my idea, in fact, the city planner even presented us with a possibly suitable location for it: West Calipatria, where development is trickling through and could potentially increase significantly with the construction of this college. The final location for the college will be decided on at the next city council meeting, as will the fate of the themed park that lies in the downtown area of Calipatria. Don't worry though, I'll fight my hardest to keep it open. Now for random city pics! disclaimer: sorry if this cj didn't turn out the way you thought....it's my first try.

AHHH! How come everyone sees only one pic??? I need help, what's going on??? I can see all the pics I posted... edit: I think I fixed it....did I fix it???

Originally posted by: cleaner475 nice update - I would have prefered more than one pic - but good still the same nice monorail system Good work - keep it up Richardquote> I put quite a few pics on the update...?

UPDATENUMEROONE Good Morning Simtropolis!Calipatria awaits... Today, I would like to show you a secret-don't get too excited though, it's only a secret about tourist spots. As mayor, I wish to tell you the top tourist destinations in Calipatria that local Calipatrians don't want you to know about...they are truly gems. We'll start off with Mount Jacinta, the beautiful mountain that oversees all Calipatrians throughout their busy days. *** MOUNTjacinta Believe it or not, Mount Jacinta was named after a 9-year-old child who scaled the mountain over 400 years ago to pick wild herbs that grew only at extreme altitudes. She did this for her ailed family who unknowingly mistook poisonous mushrooms for good 'ol regular mushrooms and cooked them up and ate them. Jacinta was determined to climb that mountain-and she did. So, in 1963 the Monorail connecting the small community of Mount Jacinta and Calipatria was dedicated in the memory of little Jacinta and her unfaltering dedication to her family. If you wish to visit Mount Jacinta it is accessible only through Monorail for tourists (citizens use the road and have special designation cards to drive up the mountain). I'll give the reason for that in another update. As the monorail travels up the mountain you will encounter the mountain's spectacular nature... The mountain is also home to the city's small wind turbine farm; thanks to the constant windy conditions halfway up the mountain, the turbines produce electricity for Mount Jacinta and 15% of homes in Calipatria. The end of the line for the monorail is at the Little Jacinta Station #2 on Mount Jacinta. Tourists can feast their eyes on the magnificent view of the city of Calipatria from the mountain or blow off some dollars on gifts for their friends at the shops that line the monorail platform. Aerial shot of Mount Jacinta community....the woods are a place for avid and amateur outdoors people. So, if you are afraid of heights and not afraid of spending money, then I would recommend driving to the Uptown District of Calipatria where you will find many shops and boutiques. People who shop here generally tend not to look at price tags (if ya know what I mean...) Later on Today... Calipatrians will raise concern for the state of traffic snarl ups in downtown Calipatria, City Hall and it's decaying infrastructure, and the effects of having a themed park in extremely close proximity to the downtown area. disclaimer: sorry if this cj didn't turn out the way you thought....it's my first try.

Thanks for being patient!

Thanks Mikeaut1 I didn't think anyone would care for this meek CJ.

The past few weeks really have been dramatic and I am soooo glad something like this emerged from all the crap stuff we've been seeing. This gives me hope for the future of city building sims!!!!! Then again, we truly won't know how good or bad each game is until we play them (obviously).........but still, Cities Unlimited: your teaser rocked my world!
