  1. This is definitely the right call. Not only is it impractical to try and cater to a tiny population of people who fit into these categories, but it's also unsafe for those who still have an OS old enough to run the old version of the game. Minimum versioning is vital to software services; you have to have a cutoff line because at some point the simple process of developing tools like the Injector becomes a much bigger hassle than its worth. I don't blame Aspyr for this, either. It was a miracle they took on the task of porting SC4 to begin with, but it's a legacy game without support from anyone. I feel they could have done more to for the port when it was released, but I also think we would have ended up in this spot when all was said and done anyways. Anyways, I finally bit the bullet and caught both SC4 and SC3KU on sale on GOG. All the mods, .exe commands, and saves work as intended once you move them over to the correct folder, so I don't think it's too big an ask to upgrade to that version to get the latest, greatest, and safest version of the game. ...also hello.

  2. Tribute to A Nonny Moose

    masochist replied to JP Schriefer's topic in Simtropolis Related

    I've been a member of this forum since December of 2005. Almost 20 years now. I've known ANonnyMoose for my entire lifespan as a member of the SimCity community, as he was truly irreplaceable... And only now--JUST TODAY--did I realize the pun in his name. Ooof. Oh, well. Proof that I keep him in my thoughts.

  4. Could I jump in on this? Also, can request on behalf of other Sim folks?

  5. The Simtropolis Annuarians Club

    masochist replied to Yellowlab's topic in Simtropolis Related

    @Larks2242 - Man, I'm glad you're all good now! I agree with you--this community has done so much for me. It's where I learned how to use the internet, proper online etiquette, basic photoshop, and innumerable other things. We were all part of this community, and I'm happy you're still with us. Congrats, man!

  6. My Builds

    masochist replied to ____----____'s topic in Cities: Skylines City Journals

    Wow, blast from the past, man! I used to love your SC4 CJs, and now I'm interested to see where you take this project!
  7. Hey folks! So, when playing Cities: Skylines, how do you prevent yourself from burning out? Sometimes, playing for so long and gathering so many mods can actually wear me down enough to where I stop playing for a while, and then it's kind of hard to get back into it. I'm curious: what do you folks do to circumvent this?

  8. SimCity 4 turns 15!

    masochist replied to Supernia's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    SimCity 4 is the game of my college life. There wasn't a single other game I played more, lost more nights of sleep over, involved myself in the online community for, or made so many friends from during that time than this one. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the best things that I've ever gotten into.

  9. The Milestone Thread

    masochist replied to owenluby's topic in Simtropolis Related

    I probably won't remember to log in on the day that it actually passes, but on the 19th of this month, I'll be a 12-year Simtropolitan (Simtropolan? Simtropolisian? Eh...). Simtropolis was the first forum I ever joined and was active on, and it basically taught me how to use the internet (and basic photo-editing for all those pictures I wanted to post, hahaha). Even though I don't come around all that much anymore, I could never thank this site enough for how it helped me in my early years of the web, and how much it enhanced my love for SC4. Site is the greatest. I miss it dearly. You are an incredible community. Thank you for having me!
  10. My thoughts exactly. I love what people are able to create with all the mods and tools at our disposal, and I try my hardest to see if I can emulate the style...but if it doesn't work in the game, I can't get down with it. And people will do crazy, unrealistic things to make sure the city is functional, but I can't get down on that, either. That's probably another reason I enjoy your work. Plus, these types of games are certainly more city-focused, and it's nice to see a rural focus sometimes. Also...biking all the way down the river!? Man, what an undertaking! Akin to hiking the Appalachian Trial...it will be the ride of a lifetime, I imagine. Good luck!
  11. Man, look at this guy work! The attention to detail is bar none the most impressive out of any city journalist I've ever seen, especially in this game where so much of what's popular is the creation of eye-candy. Never ceases to amaze, absolutely. Also...we just gonna gloss over the fact that took a 400-mile bike ride earlier this month? Is that such a common activity for you that no one decided to make comments on it?

  12. Tribute to A Nonny Moose

    masochist replied to JP Schriefer's topic in Simtropolis Related

    A Nonny Moose was a constant. There was never a day that I logged in that didn't have him post a new message or start a new topic, and he was always the most reliably even-keeled user in our community. It's never easy to see that a pillar in our community has passed away, even if I haven't been here in ages. John will be missed dearly, and behind him he leaves a moose-shaped void which can never be fully filled. Rest in peace, Nonny. And thank you.

  14. Building A Skyline From Scratch

    masochist replied to Haljackey's topic in Cities: Skylines City Journals

    I love how this looks exactly as I'd expect a Haljackey city to look, even in a completely different game . Keep it up, sir!

  15. Show us your Area view

    masochist replied to AdoxxBE's topic in Cities: Skylines Showcase

    Aerial views in this game always look incredible! I've got a couple here:
  16. Hello folks! Since the After Dark expansion gave us a day cycle, I thought it might be nice to take advantage of all the different times of days! There's already a "Show Us Your Night Shots," so why not a topic such as this? Give us some pictures like these: ...Let's see what you got!
