  1. Hi, Does anyone understand what's wrong with the trees? I have few spots in my city where I haven't laid any zones or parks and just want to plant trees... Not only it's hard to put down trees unless you have a big open space, but also I noticed that these tend to disappear after a short while. My guess is that these are removed anytime I leave the city for region view and zoom back in the city. It's really saddening... I think it's because the terrain is not perfectly flat and its shape is being recalculated / reshapped each time I enter the city. This process probably removes the trees... What can I say... my goodness...
  2. Hello, Within my household are several Simcity fans. I activated the game under my Origin account. Now when someone else from my household wishes to add Simcity to their Origin account, they simply cannot! Origin says that the activation code has already been used. Is there not a way to share the code among the same household / on the same PC with all the Origin users? Thank you in advance (don't tell me that we need to purchase more than one licence, that's not inline with French laws). Regards

  3. EA Adds Nissan Leaf Sponsored Item to SimCity

    WJ_Webhog commented on Stuart98's article in News

    Lol, it was restored to a pre-Leaf-state... Nice advert / DLC!

  4. EA Adds Nissan Leaf Sponsored Item to SimCity

    WJ_Webhog commented on Stuart98's article in News

    Hi, So I activated the Leaf and plopped the max 5 stations in my city. After a couple of minutes every other car became a blue Lea... So now one out of 10 cars in the city is a Lea... The crazy thing is that now my city is messed-up. I was just kicked-out and asked to restore it. Now that I restored and opened it, I get the message that the city is not working properly and that they wish to repair it... Lol WJ
  5. Hi, Judging by the pace at which EA/Maxis are releasing updates, a 1.9 update for SimCity should soon become available... Oh!? But if we soon have v1.9, and all updates has been numbered as 1.[0-9], does that mean that we'll soon see update 2.0!? A complete new SimCity version !!!? Well, we all know is metaphysically highly unlikely... So if we are not getting v2, I guess we will get v1.10 and so on... unless we do actually get v2, but in the form of a DLC... I guess you could also argue that the "9" in "1.9" might mean that this will actually be the last update / patch that they will bother to release for SimCity 2013, lol... Anyway... enough speculations, what do you think? Scary.
  6. Isn't my condition caused by this "game"? I can't even get a refund for this nonesense.

  7. Bug: What's wrong with the trees!?

    WJ_Webhog replied to WJ_Webhog's topic in SimCity (2013) Technical Help Q&A

    Oh I see... So is this supposed to mean that the ground is so polluted that my trees are dying and hence disappearing!? I actually think this is a bug... if the trees were actually suffering from pollution, then they should have made a special model to show them without leafs or needles (so as to look dead)... Regards,

  8. Greater Terran #2: City Growth and Oil Boom

    Haljackey, did you ever managed to connect that railway / make it functional (as there is no rail on that map when you start)?   Regards,

  9. Police, and Fire Choppers...

    WJ_Webhog replied to Kabloosh's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    intothewrx: i definitely saw one fire chopper estinguish some fires in my city. I don't think it came from neighbouring cities as I did not notice another user's icon over it. anyhow, if this is true (that "choppers are only to help other cities and never yours"), then this is really sad...
  10. Hi there, My current city is getting jammed by thousands of yellow taxis/cabs every other morning. It is so bad that the city remains jammed for the entire day. They seem to pop out of commercial buildings (maybe hotels) or the airport. I am not sure where they are heading or why there are so many. By my airport there are so many that maybe 95% of all cars are taxis. The pity is that there is no actual dashboard/leaderboard to monitor how many taxis are generated in your city within a day. Surely it surpasses all other forms of transportation. The funny thing is that I don't seem to get this drama every day, some days trafic is just fine / fluid. Any ideas? Regards, WJ
  11. I guess this is those ugly hotels that look like medieval castles... I often have a dozen in my city... really repetitive. It's also those buildings (that ugly looking type) that always go bankrupt, almost one every other month. I keep bulldozing them, by they sprout back, as if they never learned that they went bankrupt two weeks earlier...
  12. They probably all want to board on the same plane or the same train...
  13. Hi, I was also building the space center and had issues with trucks. What is stupid is that they priorize the construction of the space center instead of your local business. You should be able to say how many trucks are dedicated to the construction so they don't all go pickup alloy and fuel and set off to deliver it... At some point in noticed my trucks were also gone, but it seems that they were stuck in the space center. They eventually came out. At another occurence, on their way out, they were stuck on the road coming out from the space center and leading to the highway. As if there was a traffic jam their. They were progressing slowly. After a while they finally returned... Maxi(mum)s(adness)... Cheers

  15. Police, and Fire Choppers...

    WJ_Webhog replied to Kabloosh's topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion

    Hi Kabloosh, I once saw a fire chopper fly over one of my fires... Other than that, I have the impression that these choppers are only useful to neighbouring city (but that's only because i rencently plopped them and never really saw them do anything). Other than that, my hazmat fire truck is not even coming out of its garage even though I have such fires all the time. The result is I keep having industrial explosions. Sad.

  16. SimCIty Update 1.7 - Traffic and Emergency Vehicles Improved

    WJ_Webhog commented on Kythlyn's article in News

    I currently have a problem in my city where a special industrial fire is raging but my special truck is not even coming out of his garage. Lets see if this patch fixes it.

  18. A Free PC Download From Origin for SimCity Launch Customers

    WJ_Webhog commented on Wustmann's article in News

    Hasn't it stroke you that they are offering a free copy of SC4 Deluxe when they could have offered a free copy of SC Societies? Oh sorry, maybe this one was also too dodgy to be given out for free!
  19. Thank you Dirk! Here are some of those shots (they are a bit better than what they used to be).

  20. I'm so mad right now..

    WJ_Webhog replied to Lakenstaken's topic in SimCity (2013) Technical Help Q&A

    In France I paid 51€ for the regular version. They were also proposing the "euro-set" in an extra box for another 10€. In another shop, they were selling the regular game for 59.99€ !!!
  21. Hi, I'd like to post here a screenshot of my ugly town's graphics, but I haven't figured out how to do an ingame screenshot. Jul (France)

  22. Lisbon

    WJ_Webhog commented on MallowTheCloud's file in Maps

    Hi, with this file you can get the missing dat file to generate the lisbon map I think you should use: Mallow's Original 1000m.dat http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/16790-high-elevation-import-mods-w-erosion-control-parameters/
  23. Thanks Tarkus, I had been wondering if I was doing something wrong or had too many mods on my machine. Regards, WJ
  24. Hi there, I've lately come back to the game to try out the great NWM. I'm still trying to grasp what intersections are possible... While experimenting with 5OWA I noticed that the paths is somewhat incorrect. The result of which I have busses driving in the opposite direction on those 5 lane oneway avenues. See for youself.

  25. Making NAM Ped Malls look like parks

    WJ_Webhog replied to smoncrie's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion

    Hello there, I was going through the thread and find very interesting how those ped mall tiles were transformed to show props... Now I am wondering whether it would be possible to mod existing or new ped malls tiles to apply them an overlay texture. So almost basically making a ped mall lot 1x1 or maybe even ultimately 1x2 or more even different shapes. I already have good looking 1x1, 1x2... 1x6 pedestrian transit lots that I use as alley and footpath, but these always need to be interconnected with a road, or ped mall tile. Would be great if I could make the ped mall tile look alike the rest of the footpath thus making it all look seamless. I don't know which examplars contain ped mall tiles, and how I would exactly have to apply the overlay texture other than by designing a lot and then taking its "lot design" properties and applying them to the ped mall tiles. But I guess that's not how it goes, or? Regards,
