My memory is foggy, but I'm guessing back in the early days of SC4 I was oblivious to tutorials and my only research led to cheat codes for morrrre money, so I could sandbox away in a careless fashion, and watch the ships sail up and down. Now, on my revisit, I find myself fascinated with the actual mechanics of the game and I'm finding that my (ageing?) brain is struggling to store the information needed to set up a regional network. So far as I understand, it is not possible to flip back and forth quickly to the larger map view and I'm not keeping a good track of who my neighbours are, what I did there yesterday (last week), what my plans were etc etc. I would really like to set up some district specialisations, and also be able to visually recognise individual districts more easily (and which way up they are when I am looking at them!). Ideally I would like districts to work in clusters, and then join these together with other clusters. Are there any simple ways to feel more organised? Are there any types of geography that are more helpful in terms of keeping each district more individual looking? I could really do with an extra monitor to display notes, maps etc, but space doesn't allow, and my experience is that things get a bit scribbly and hard to find on paper. Any ideas gratefully received.

So I already build a grid pattern for the downtownish-district of the town I'm working on. The poblem is I have absolutely no experience with downtowns. I made a plan, how I wanna do this, first the blank pattern: And here the zoning plan: blue: Highrise commercial green: Highrise residential yellow: Mediumrise residential grey circles: forests black area: additional space when necessary, otherwise mediumrise districts What you say? I really have no experience with this. Any tips? critics? Have a nice evening and - by the way - a nice new year Replies Ln X: Thanks! gil_alves: Thank you too:) feeroz123: Thanks for the parking space tip, I used it, but I forgot to take a screenshot^^ You see, I put some parks in the downtown grid, but I think I'm going to build one in the suburbs too. Thank you for your support, by the way:)
