Tutorials, custom content etc for new and not so new players
BC Canuck posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Just yesterday there was a topic from a new player, catpower165061 discussing his lack of gaming skills. There was some good advice from several people including RSC204's link to his favourite tutorial, which I looked up and it is a good one. Couldn't that link be placed in the Omnibus section for newcomers? This made me think about how some of this information is not located anywhere on the site. Yes the Omnibus has tutorials but some of the more skilled/advanced/knowledgeable players know "stuff" that some of us less skilled/knowledgeable players might like to clue in on. Such as RSC204's NAM tutorials - I only checked those out very recently and boy those should be better advertised but the links are in his signature (Didn't pay attention to it - no need to hide your light under a bushel) and there I finally got information about roundabouts and how to create them properly! Custom content creators - trying to find some of these is getting more and more difficult on the STEX (the LEX is better organised and easier to use, however it is limited and not always on both exchanges) so there could be a list of creators who have created excellent content under Residential, Commercial and Industrial. As an example LNX in his CJs frequently suggested creators names for commerical (diagonal for instance), industrials and residential etc. From my experience, if I don't know what to look for I don't know what I'm missing. Even listing alternative SimCity sites with downloadable content such as ToutSims, the Polish site, Moonlights(Japan) site. Some of these I only found out about trolling through Paeng's CJs and others for inspiration (well stealing ideas ). A little note about googling A Nonny Moose's postings might be relevant. His old postings helped me when trying to have SC4 work better. Cori's Rock/Beach/terrain shoppes are an excellent feature - keep them coming. I personally like show and tell type tutorials that's how I learn best. As an aside the Lot Editor tutorial has lost all the pictures - can this be fixed/updated? Does any of this make sense to some of the more experienced players? Or the Newbies? Oh and I just thought about a link to the Plugins organisation thread. I wish I had known about that a few months back! When you are new you don't realise how you are going to regret not having a better organised plugins folder. According to the Lex I have downloaded one of BSC's dependencies 6 times no less (good grief - not sure how to fix that). I have to sort that plugins folder soon - there's excellent advice on that thread. Sorry about blathering on but wondered if some such information might be helpful to others. Any suggestions?- 29 Replies
