bought SC4 on steam few days ago, now venturing into the modding world, just saying hi.
-
You guys should make a forum specifically for non NAM SimCity 4 deluxe player's so we could not be included in the NAM's expansion of the transportation department. Just an idea. Think about it. no?

Hi y'all! I'm Jaysus and although I've seen a few forums on this page, this is my first time creating an account. I'm interested in viewing other's work, but I don't know much about joining/ connecting SimCity servers. Thanks for having me, hope to meet you all soon

Hello, I havent played SC4 in about 5 years. Is there anything new and excited in the modding scene, cool stuff from NAM, cool BATs or even some bug fixes? Would be interested in hearing about the new stuff

Hi Simtropolisers! My name is Billy, I was born on February 17th 1999 and I live in Irondequoit, New York in the US America. I play SC4, CitiesXXL and Streets of SimCity. My pronouns or they/theirs and I am a registered Democrat but consider myself both an Alanist and a Cross-Temporal Civic Nationalist. My favorite band is Smash Mouth. I mission is to build sustainabble, livable and walkable sim cities with no highways and minimal cars/roads or stroads. I joined this forum to meet other like minded sims. I work as a barista and digital artist by day and build cities by night. I also am launching / inventing the NYSCAPE Navigator project, a free open source maglev bus concept. I look forward to contributing to this community!

I was considering posting this to the "feeling overwhelmed" thread, but that seemed more technical then what I'm after. I have loaded 8-10 regions in the game. They are ready to go. A couple of them I have gone into a few cities, gotten them to mayor mode...maybe laid a rail line from one side to the other. But I just don't feel it. I cannot find the inspiration to put in the grunt work to build the whole region up. I actually kind of miss the days when a new pc or new install meant starting the game over. I lost so many regions that way, but it forced me to begin again, and again. Now, backups are easy. I have 3 really well developed regions...perhaps too well developed...cross that threshold of over-analyzing and over-populating and making a mess of things that were better left alone. I need to start a new region, but I just look at all the empty cities and I exit the game. I know what to do...I just can't get myself to put in the time to get there. I am sure if I got 3 or 4 cities rolling, it all starts to hum...probably take a couple days, maybe a week. But I don't know. How do some of you find inspiration to start a new region? What gets you through those early stages of grunt work getting a regional network going?

Welcome to Phase 1.1 of the Fairway Ring Road Project! Today we will be focusing on the yellow highlighted area of the project. The scope of this area involves the re-alignment of I-45 south of Fairway, and re-construction of the I-445/I-45 Interchange. Project in Vandenburgh: This is the new alignment of I-45 through Vandenburgh. The purple highlighted area is the location of the new interchange. Yellow hatched area denotes where the existing highway will be taken out. Pics of progress: Area Complete: Project in Gladview: This is the new alignment of I-45 through Gladview. Two new interchanges are being built. One will service the local airport, while the other will replace the one being demolished from the realignment. Construction Pics: Final Product: That's it for now. Phase 2 is underway and will focus on Point Baker.

Hello! When we last met, I had announced that Fairway was launching a ring road project around the city. The project is now underway and the first phase has been completed. However, documentation was poor and a new company was hired to document any further construction of the project. So Phase 1 documentation is shotty at best. Also, some new developments are causing engineers to go back to the drawing board on Phase 1 as it may not meet the needs of the immediate future. In this update, I will be showcasing what has been done and what future plans are. This is the original proposed route for the new interstate: This is the new revised plan for construction: The new plan has gone with alternate #1 in Point Baker as well as a new complete re-alignment of the north and south highway on the southside of the project in Vandenburgh and Gladview. This brings the interstate closer to Gladview and their airport. Alternate #1 in Point Baker is a cost saving measure. The end goal of this project is to help clear congestion in Downton Fairway by creating an alternate route around the city, as well as better connect the outlying communities and suburbs, with hopes to stimulate economic growth. The project will be split into 3 phases and will circle around the West Side of the Fairway Metro. There are plans for a East Side ring road as well, but that is still in very early stages. I will leave you with some pictures of the previous construction that was done. Remember, it is all going to change. And will be better documented.

Hi, new member here. I recently installed the SimCity4 deluxe edition from Steam on my mac. I played for a few days only to realize that after a certain amount of time, the growth completely stops. I am spending more time fixing issues than progressing. After doing some research, I found out there are actually plenty of issues/bugs with the factory version of SC4 which makes playing this game very difficult. I was watching this youtube video which listed out 8 essential mods/fixes for the game. Unfortunately, most of these mods/fixes are for the windows version. I was wondering if there is a similar list for the mac steam version? I was able to install the NAM mod as it was mac compatible. But the other mods i found only had windows version. Can you guys point me in the right direction on how I can install these mods in my game? Thanks in advance.

Hi there! I'm aldebear, long time player of The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. (I own the fourth installment of the series but I do not speak its cursed name.) I played a trial version of SimCity (2013) in the past, and I own SimCity 3000 but I haven't opened that up in literally years. I've always loved tycoon and building games and I really wanted to try out the famous SimCity 4, so here we are! After a chat with the EA help desk, I finally managed to get a refund after I found out it was unpatched through you guys, lol. I'm currently downloading the game off Steam right now. So excited to see an active and very much alive community for another older game. If anyone has some tips to guide me in the right direction with this classic game I've never played before, let me know! Perhaps your favorite tutorials and mods on here? Hoping to join your guys' Discord as well. Can't wait to meet all of you! <3

New computer, new SimCity 4 install, can I just copy my plugins over?
monkeywater posted a topic in SC4 - Custom Content
I just bought a new computer. I redownloaded sc4 from GOG to install on the new computer. Somehow it worked super easy on windows 10, no loading issues and it works in hardware rendering mode so I can for the first time use HD terrain mods. Is there anything wrong with just copy pasting my plugins folder over from the old computer? I have 6gb of plugins and do not want to redownload one by one. Can I copy over SimCity.dat from the old computer? ( I had industrial revolution mod) -
I needed a break from regular AAA games and decided to come back to an old favorite. Glad to have found this as I am into Moding games.

Hey, Does anybody play on a newer version of Mac, and has added any custom Regions? The file directory format has changed. It used to be /Users/___/Library/Containers/com.aspyr.simcity4.appstore/-----> But now, it is: /Users/___/Library/Containers/SimCity4™ Deluxe Edition/-----> ... When adding a new BMP file to the new region, on MAC, you have to enter the location MANUALLY. Therefore, I have no idea what to enter to access the BMP file. I have tried all these different combinations with no luck: SimCity4™ Deluxe Edition simcity4™ deluxe edition simcity4deluxeedition simcity4™deluxeedition etc etc etc ... I've reached out to Asypr for "help" but don't expect to hear anything back. Let me know if anyone has any luck! Currently, I have 0 ways to add a custom region to my game. Kinda lame... I have many words for Aspyr. Maybe... class action lawsuit?

I thought it'd be fun to share things about SimCity 4 that you've recently discovered. I'll start! I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I never checked the graphic settings until yesterday. I must have looked at the settings like over a decade ago when my computer wasn't' as powerful, and when I got new computers over the years, I assumed that SC4 would default to the highest settings. Until yesterday, when I looked at the settings and I realized that some of the graphic were set to medium! So I finally set all graphic settings to high. I can't believe I've played this long and just realized the streetlights have shadows! The streets look so much fuller too.

Vamos encontrar os falantes de lingua portuguesa
Vitoraju posted a topic in Simtropolis em português's Topics
Let's find Portuguese speakers! Olá amigos do Brasil/Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Moçambique/Mozambique, entre outros países de língua portuguesa. Eu andei notando que o nosso fórum em português só tem 36 pessoas, sendo que devem ter milhares de usuários pelo fórum que falam o nosso idioma. Muitas vezes essas pessoas só visitam o fórum principal em inglês, sem saber que existe o nosso clube em português. Um exemplo é esse tópico: Sinceramente eu também não sabia da existência do fórum em português até o encontrar sem querer há apenas alguns meses atrás. E fiquei tão feliz de saber que existe o nosso próprio espaço para conversar, apresentarCity Journal (CJ), BATs, tutoriais, trocar conhecimentos, fazer novas amizades e etc em português. Eu uso o google translate para tentar entender tutoriais de BAT ou até saber algumas coisas sobre o SimCity 4 em inglês, mas entre usar o google translate e ler coisas no seu próprio idioma, a segunda opção é muito melhor, okay? Tanto que até hoje eu não entendo tudo que leio mesmo com o google tradutor no fórum em inglês. ------------------------- Existe uma opção no nosso próprio fórum que permite convidar membros para o clube. Eu procurei algumas pessoas aleatórias que eu vi que são brasileiras (em tópicos em inglês) para mandar o convite. Tem muitas, mas também tem muitas outras pessoas que eu não sei que são falantes do português. De qualquer forma alguns de vocês conhecem membros que são falantes do idioma, mas que não estão no nosso clube. (As vezes essas pessoas nem sabem que existe o nosso clube, assim como eu não sabia). De qualquer forma, eu mandei alguns convites (até mesmo para as pessoas que não acessam o fórum há mais de 1 ano). Eu mandei para essas pessoas, pois eu também já passei mais de 1 ano longe do Simtropolis (por conta da escola e de assuntos pessoais), mas estou aqui. É importante convidar todos, mesmo quem não acessa há muito tempo, pois as vezes a pessoa não está acessando o site com frequência, mas quando estiver livre, ela vai voltar à acessar. E será legal bem legal verem que existe esse espaço exclusivo em português. Portanto, gostaria de pedir gentilmente que caso vocês encontrem pessoas que falam o nosso idioma, nas partes em inglês do site ou outras, mandem um convite para o nosso clube em português. É fácil e rápido. Acredito que nossa comunidade possa crescer com essa ação! Tutorial para mandar o convite: 1. Vá em "members" no fórum em português; 2. Depois clique em "invite members"; 3. Em seguida digite o nome exato dos membros que você encontrar 4. Com o nome de usuário exato, clique no botão que mostra a foto de perfil do usuário; 5. Quando clicar, vai aparecer esse espaço azul com o nome dele. 6. Depois é só clicar em "Send invitations" 7. Prontinho, agora a pessoa irá receber uma notificação. PS. Usei o nome do usuário Bastet69008 só para o exemplo. Desculpe a notificação Bastet! Também é possível avisar através de mensagem privada (PM) enviando um link. Assim a pessoa que não vê todas as notificações (meu caso xD) vai poder ver o link no privado. -
Hello, I hope you have a good day, I am creating a new map, it is great, I hope you like it simcity4 community, good luck and see you next ...

I know this is a remedial question, I haven't played SimCity in a long time, and just recently downloaded SimCity 4 Deluxe, and have a small question. Can anyone suggest the best way to start a city? I finished the in-game tutorial, and don't plan to augment the landscape with the first few cities to get my feet wet, but if anyone could recommend a solid beginning to a city, I would be very appreciative. Thanks so much, everyone!!!!

Do you think there will ever be a new SimCity?
Lowfat Milk from Walmart posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Do you guys think EA will ever revive SimCity? There's obviously a market for citybuilders as cities:skylines has proved and SimCity 4's active community even though it released a while ago. I think they may revive it in the future but I'm not getting my hopes up. -
Hello fellow mayors! After a long time I returned to this incredible community, unfortunately I even forgot my nickname from the previous account. Is there still a Brazilian here? I had a Brazilian friend who helped me a lot here ... anyway. I don't say that to segregate or something, I love you all. I just want to know if I'm going to be the only one here who needs a google translator to talk to the community. Thanks in advance and I love you all. Att. Gilbs! ♥ Obs .: I used the google translator. If I cursed someone or declared war, it was unintentional.

Library with modern extension, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- The simple Georgian style library that was released for diagonal roads (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/33247-diagonal-library/) has been given an ultra modern extension at the rear of the building. This is a really, really common treatment in real life where architects add a new addition to an old building without trying to mimic the past, but in SC4, there are not too many examples of an old building with an adjoining ultra modern extension. The rear, light-filled annexe is constructed in zinc with a cantilever to one side over a reflection pool. It is quite separate from the main structure and is accessed via a glass-box breezeway. Unlike many extensions to old buildings, the new annexe is not designed to mimic the old, but rather be read as an entirely new structure that is simply in keeping with the scale of the original building. This is a ploppable lot found in the education menu and provides 50 highly desirable civic jobs, holds 130,000 books and provides an EQ boost to all age groups of your population. --------------------------------------- STATS LIBRARY: Lot size : 2x3 Plop Cost: § 800 Bulldoze Cost: § 590 Demand Created:Jobs§ 18, Jobs§§ 32, Jobs§§§ 2 Pollution: 2 (Air)/ 1 (Water)/ 2 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 2/3/0 Capacity: 130,000 Coverage Radius:3,360 Monthly cost: § 650 Power Consumed:5 Mwh Water Consumed:16 Gal/Month Occupant Group: Building: Civic; Building: Library --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: There are two model files in this download. You must select the appropriate file from the download. The file suffixed with 'DN' is for those users with a night-time darkening mod installed. The file suffixed with 'MN' is for users who do not have any such mods installed. If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod. (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23089-simfox-day-and-nite-modd/) --------------------------------------- DEPENDENCIES: There are no dependencies required for this file. --------------------------------------- To install, simply unzip the contents of this file into your plugins folder. -
Hi all, apologies in advance for another one of those "what PC should I get" threads. I currently have a Lenovo with I7 4790 3.6, 8gb RAM, 1 GB NVIDIA GT 705 graphics card. I currently have trouble with frame rate once my city expands to about 100 000 although I have disabled many mods. I'm looking at buying a new desktop for around £2000 and have no idea what I should be looking for so am seeking the advice of you good people. I would like to play the game with 81 tiles, TMPE and the usual top mods. Any advice on what I should be looking at would be very much appreciated as I am not very computer literate. Thanks in advance.

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ What a special day to go through this lines! Today, we report you a magnanimous event for our capital, the second biggest soccer team (after the respectable Tarrë F.C.) has just inaugurated their new pitch at Enfield Park. We are talking, nonetheless about the Sputts Football Club. As so, the president just give us a word to the publisher: " (…) therefore the new stadium pretends to fulfill an old ambition, to compete with our classic-known rivals Tarrë F.C. with two high end covered stands, a state of the art lightning system and the privilege of being at the core of the CBD in metro área." Interviewer (IV): Why Sputts? President Lambert (PL): "A coincidence I guess. The city is well-known for talking oficially a fluent french, as so, the northern you go, the more hard and quick the accent gets. We were born up-north, as a trait we are known for our sputter, so why won't we call ourselves the Sputts?" ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ IV: The Sputts were born just ten years after the Tarrë F.C., what's your plan towards reaching the fame and success of theirs? President Lambert (PL): "At first, this is a huge step. We may know ask for a spot into the profesional league of France, where Tarrë F.C. is nowadays. We may be the second tarrëan team to fulfill it. I fully hope this inauguration will catch as many fans and get us on the scope of the nation." ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ IV: With all our best wishes, we hope to soon see a new major league team on the city. And at last, may you unveil the official name of the precinct? President Lambert (PL): "With all our gratitude for this opportunity in hand, I hope for the best of this team. Sure, with a whole big battle happening, we fought for naming it the Sputts Footbal Club Stadium, and so we mantain." ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ We, your fellow Editing Team, brought a last shot at the new stadium with Enfield Park just behind… Go, and cheer Sputts!
