The title says it, but ... This is for all those who had / got a negative mayor rating and could not find a cause. As you search the net you will constantly get the suggestions that it is caused by, pollution, crime, taxes, no trees/parks, and the list goes on. Well, I had all of those well and truly covered. Yet not matter what I tried my city would start off OK, then slowly dive all the way to about -80%. No matter what I tried it would not come up, although one time, using heaps of trees and parks I got it to 0%, but then it just slowly went back to about -80%. A LOT of people said you must be doing something extremely bad for it to go so low. But that was not the cause. I know this is long, but, please let me show you how I found out it was not me, nor anything I was doing. After reading a bizillion web pages, I found one comment that suggested it could be a bad MOD and I think it was on this site Simtropolis. And that's how I found out what it was. So here is the run down. 1 – The cause :- It was a badly written MOD. In my case it was “Reserved Lots” I used this to mark out areas as well as reserving lots for latter expansion. I now use “Planning Block” by Corine (love your work by the way). 2 – How I found out :- 1 – I uninstalled SimCity 4 completely. And deleted all folders associated with it. 2 – I installed the vanilla version from GOG (Deluxe Edition v1.1.641 hotfix). Did not start game. 3 – I installed SC4 Launcher. Started game for the 1st time thru SC4 Launcher. 4 – I ran the game and started a new region and city, and ran it for a few sim years to make sure. +80% mayor. 5 – Next installed NAM and about 3 MOD's. I kept track of which MOD's I had installed. 6 – I repeated Step 3 and ran the city for a few Sim years. +80% mayor. 7 – I kept repeating this process, installing about 3 MOD's each time, and each time creating a new region and city, and ran it for a few years. 8 – After a few 'rounds of repeats' the mayor rating started to plummet. all the way to about -80%. 9 – It had to be one of the last 3 MOD's I installed. So I removed all 3 and added one at a time, and each time creating a new region, city, and ran it for a few years. 10 – As soon as I had ”Reserved Lots” installed AND used them, the mayor rating nose-dived. Even it I bulldozed all of it lots, the negative mayor rating remained. The only way I could 'fix' it was to uninstalled “Reserved Lots” and delete all cities that I had used it on. 11 – Now my mayor rating sits about +80-90%% I hope this helps anyone with the same or similar issue. Just another SC4 addict, oops, lover Kevin

Hi, I am a fairly new player in SC4. I have several mods and buildings that I have added to my plugins folder. However, I have come across a peculiar situation and need some help. So I was using the MoneyTree on one city of mine. However, the game ended abruptly as I was apparently making so much money the game registered it as me losing all of my money. So, in order to deal with this problem, I downloaded the Extra Cheats DLL so I could use the Moolah cheat and set the amount of Simoleons in my treasury to however much I want it to be. However, as soon as I did this, I noticed that my Mayor Ratings suddenly plummet hard into the negatives. Unfortunately before even noticing the effect this cheat had on my ratings, I saved the game which means I cannot go back to the city before this phenomenon occurred. The only thing that stops this from happening is if I toggle the Mayor Rating ordinance, but even then it causes the Mayor Rating to go up into four bars at most. Before this happened, my mayor rating was practically perfect. What happened? And how can I fix it? Is this a matter of plugins butting heads? I have attached a few screenshots detailing what plugins I have installed. Thanks in advance!

I've never played attention to the ESRB label but for some reason I came across it and saw that it had "sexual themes." How?! The only idea I have is that woman's voice that plays when you throw money out of the limo...

Should the 5 Star Rating System be Removed on ST ?

As @CorinaMarie mentions below, this poll is only advisory, not an official poll. The poll results represent the opinions of members participating. -
How would you rate each of the city-builder games you've actually played. Listed below I've included the games generally covered on ST. If there is a city-builder game that you play that is not on the list then add it to your list of games actually played and give it a rating. The ratings are from 1 to 10. There are 9 listed game titles and 1 'other' which you can name or choose not to. If you have not actually played the game give it a rating of n/a, or simply leave it off your list. A rating of 1 would be what you consider the least, a rating of 10 would be what you consider the best. You can either rate them as a list from 1 to 10, or rate each one individually between 1 and 10. Either way it should be obvious which way you decided to rate the games. You can copy and paste the text below to enter your ratings. You can also quote the text below and enter your ratings in the quote box. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. Cities Skylines ___ 2. SimCity (2013) ___ 3. SimCity 4 (Rush Hour) ___ 4. SimCity 3000 ___ 5. Cities XXL ___ 6. SimCity Buildit ___ 7. City Life ___ 8. SimCity 2000 ___ 9. SimCity Societies ___ 10. Other ___ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

There was a time uploads on the STEX were rated simply with 1 -5 stars and without a written comment and nobody did know - why someone only rated something 3 stars. Now you need to give a comment. And I thought this comment is to explain the rate you give. F.e. if someone uploads a yellow house and you don't like the color yellow - you give 3 stars and and write: this house is yellow and i don't like it yellow, blue it would be much better (as you could before without telling your motivation). So now other users will see - Ah, that's the reason fantozzi rated this 3 stars, but me, I love the colour yellow, so why should I care about fantozzis rating? As me, being objective, I can try, but it's almost impossible, as I'm not almighty in my knowledge and capabilities and on judging content I'm not always 'right' in the sense of public opinion or the opinion of everyone and therefore my opinion might be 'strange' to others. That's a result of me being a subject, an individual, I think. I can fail. Even on opinion or judging. So I can't always do right to everybody. Now I see subjective ratings on uploads will be deleted. So objective criteria is needed - criteria that can be applied on all ratings the same way and exclude subjective judgements like about which colour is better for a building. Or I won't rate anymore anything here - as beeing attacked by moderators just for stating my subjective (and maybe wrong - in a public view) opinion, I don't like this. So please tell me what I am allowed to say and what not when rating.

How to add a "Rate Up" reminder to your workshop items
boformer posted a topic in Cities: Skylines Modding - Open Discussion
I created this little graphic for your workshop descriptions: To embed it into your workshop description, use this code (click on it to get to raw text): -
I was wondering if I should get the new SimCity. - I don't care about online only. - I'm over the city size limit. - I don't care about server issues (it'll be resolved eventually) - I don't care about teraforming (I found it a little too time consuming SimCity 4) Is there anything else wrong with it? I actually have the game in my hands but I was wondering if I should install it or get a refund. I'm asking this because of the low ratings on Amazon (It's the same as SimCity Societes!). Update: This topic seemed to get more responses than I expected. I think I'll install the game (Probably one of the last games I'll ever buy from EA). Really the only thing holding me back was the small city sizes, but I think I can deal with it (Eventually). Update 2: I really enjoyed the game (Took me forever to get to play though) Although I still feel the city sizes are too small. One thing that I didn't like was that it seems impossible for me to get a airport (And a lot of other things) because of the small city sizes. I really don't think I can fit much stuff in one city (Unless I make a city and transfer loads of money over there). The city sizes restrict me in more than one way. Everything else is great though (Except the servers).
