Hello everyone!! First and foremost I just want to say that I'm so glad and it's such a relief to see Simtropolis back online - I was so sad to see the site go down back in April. Thanks so much to the staff's tireless work in saving Simtropolis!! To celebrate the occasion I'll be sharing a few scenes from my first ever city journal, Oakridge Heights. I'm fairly new poster but I've been working on this city over the last year or so. It's a huge metropolis dominated by Art deco and modern skyscrapers in it's downtown core with sprawling suburbs in all directions. After this quick preview I'll be showing off more of the city so make sure you stay tuned Welcome back Simtropolis!!!

there are some beautiful props in BaroccoHispano's street props and these lots only use a small fraction of what is in that awesome pack these are dark night but I took images using Maxis night to show that either mode works should now be compliant with NAM dependencies: https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/36152-agc-streets-dlc/ https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/23089-simfox-day-and-nite-modd/ subway stations.zip -
Is SimCity 4 really dying? I'm sorry but I'm living in the cave right now. I suddenly heard that many sites are dying at the same time. Is this the end of SC4 that we know it today? Note: I'm also want to said that city builders are dying too. But since Theotown got so popular in Indonesia, it's not gonna happen. Speaking of Theotown, should we accommodate those people here?

1. Introduction This resource is a small but hopefully useful project which attempts to recreate ordinances from SimCity 3000 for use in SimCity 4. SimCity 3000 had a very elaborate system of ordinances, complete with exhaustive descriptions, which provided mayors with an important and powerful city management tool. Half of these ordinances did not make it into SimCity 4 however. Thanks to the ".dll era", it is now possible to recreate these old ordinances and this is what this package is all about. As Penultimo from the Tropico series would say "I've got something for you to sign, and no - it's not my raise again!". Unleash the red tape! This pack contains a recreation of Utilities ordinances from SimCity 3000 and one extra. Special thanks go to @catty-cb for providing extra space that now stores all SC3000 ordinance descriptions. Thank you for your kindness! 2. Installation instructions Please read this section carefully to make sure the new ordinances work for you. Dependencies: Custom Ordinance Exemplar Host DLL (by @Null 45 - whom I'd like to thank for making mods like this possible) Instructions: 1. Download the package 2. Extract contents of the .zip file into "Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\140-ordinances" 3. Launch the game 4. Open the "City ordinances" budget item to use new options (search the bottom of the ordinance list) 3. Uninstall Before uninstalling, it is strongly recommended that you uncheck all custom ordinances in the cities in which you enabled them and resave the cities first. To uninstall, simply remove the files from your "Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\140-ordinances". Important! Some ordinances will become available only after certain conditions are met. Consult the readme section for further information on them. -

Yes, I'm new here so please bear with me. I've read a lot, but never signed up to comment before. A few questions. One is when CorinaMarie said she'd experienced the game crashing to desktop and thought it to be when vehicles were spawned at the military base as one of the causes IIRC. How would one ascertain somethjng like this unless just happened to be looking at the moment? I see debate about whether or not traffic noise significantly affects willingness to live in a building or not, some say if everything else is favorable (low crime, high school grades, low commute time, high hospital grades) that it's minimal. Others say not. Has this debate ever been settled? Along those lines: Are freeways lower noise than the monorail? It seems the monorail makes a lot of noise. Does it pay to build freeways? So far I have not, just used monorails and it seems to work out pretty well. I have a building that is § § § but that has decayed to § § presumably because my school grade was low. The school grade is now high so will the third § ever return? Someone said that Sims will travel to a neighboring tile for jobs but not to that neighboring tile to a third, yet I swear (unless I am somehow missing something basic which is possible) I have City A with passenger trains traveling south through City B to City C. I say this because I have two train tracks entering City B from A that I merged together into a single track heading south to City C, and the sum of the traffic in the single track heading to City C strongly suggest that there are Sims heading from City A through City B all the way through to City C. One thread here said that one could make a region with as many tiles as one wants, but I've found that if I make one large enough that it crashes to desktop when loading. Is it just that they have a computer with more capabilities? This is more academic question because I have made ones that load reliably that could keep one occupied for a lifetime, but a curiosity nonetheless. I've bunches of questions, but I'll just leave it at this for now.

So as the title suggests. I'm playing SC4 on my Mac through steam. Most of the mods I've installed work lovely, NAM, SPAM, Radius mods, etc. But from what I can tell, the Functional Sea Ports are only windows compatable. Am I right in thinking this, or is there a Mac compatable version? Pappasmurf

ciao a tutti, avrei bisogno del vostro aiuto. Ho ricomprato direttamente dal sito EA SC4 perchè avevo la nostalgia di giocarci. Il gioco all'avvio, quando lo lancio, riproduce la sigla e poi crasha immediatamente. Non riesco a farlo partire. il computer rispetta i requisiti minimi di sistema ed ha installato Windows 11. Per favore datemi un supporto, grazie.

After a span of almost 10 years... I am once more being sucked back into Sc4 with a vengeance! Downloaded the game from Steam and started going through my old Regions and my old Plugins folder from back in the day... A lot of the files were corrupted, so went through the process of re-downloading most of the stuff from my bookmarks... Which... Amounted to almost 1200 files in over 300-ish folders... :3 And something tells me, this is probably not "that much" compared to others out there... But that makes me curious, just how many custom plots ARE some of you playing with?. (PS...downloading over 300 lots was one thing.... Installing and Un-zipping them one at a time... whooo boy..)

Help with SC4 on Steam! (Issues with Regions) [Solved]
Crossroads Inc. posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
AHOY EVERYONE! Long time member, maybe, first time poster? So... returning to the game after begin away for more thn 10 years... it has been quite a trip for me, but some games, You'll always find your way back to.. SO I recently got the Steam version of SC4, downloaded it, opened it up and.. naturally... my first instinct was to toss in my old cities that I used to play back in the day.. SO I copied the folders over, loaded the game and... Hmm... They didnt show up.. Maybe they are too old? SO I loaded the game, decided to make some NEW regions, created "TEST REGION-1" quite the game, opened the folder and.... nothing... hmm.. Do new regions not show up? SO I decided to mess with one of the existing folders... I basically deleted everything from the "Berlin" folder, copied over one of my old cities and... nothing... And not just "Nothing" but, the Berlin city was still there! Like, no come on, I figured I'd MAYBE get an error message "City not Found" or something... So.. I started thinking.. MAYBE the folders im SEEING on my laptop are not "really" the folders that the game shows IN the game? If this is so, where are there? ANY Help would be appreciated! -
I'd like to know how viable it is to use a 32GB flash drive to store my mods folder. My PC doesn't have much storage, and I don't want to spend a lot of it on textures and mods for a game, so I thought I'd use a flash drive to store them. Is that possible? If so, how would I do it? I'm using the Steam version.

This is a showcase of funny sc4 memes for all my fellow simtropians. Try your hardest to keep them clean and family-friendly. I hope you enjoy making, submitting, and laughing at wonderful jokes and memes in the sc4 category. They can be about anything sc4 related. For example... (UPCOMING CRINGE) What do you call a bird in your downtown? A financial wren! get it? wren insurance?? Anyway, i hope you enjoy looking and submitting memes and jokes in this "show us" topic!

Hello , may i ask pls whats your gameplay style? what i would like to know is whether you are playing the game trying to be as close as you can in realism , using any cheat money (moolah), or are you playing without cheating and trying to build your city targets with patience? ...In other words , is it possible to build a RL city (as close as you can ) without cheating money?

Here we are starting out the city. You can see how the layout was made. Off to a good start. Let's see what's on the News. Oops, I didn't mean to do that. The giant cliff makes the city dark all day! Unemployment crisis! The only happy advisor is Sam. We're in good hands. I renamed the city to "shadowcity". It went in a depression and everything sucks. They blame me for this to happen. I unlocked World Trade Center.

Hey there. Bought SC4 on Steam, game works fine. Downloaded a bunch of mods, all fine. Then downloaded NAM 48 but cannot get the 4GB patch to work. When I click on a city the screen goes black for a few minutes then the game closes. I'm not computer literate so I've watched the rsc204 video on how to install the patch properly many times, did a search for 'SimCity 4.exe' like it says but couldn't get it to work. Since then, due to lack of memory, I moved the entire SC4 file to my (D:) drive. Is that ok? Once I did that whenever I do a search for SimCity 4.exe I get a pop-up saying 'Couldn't open executable!' I moved it all back to documents but still got the same msg. Now the file back in (D:) drive again. Whichever way I search for SimCity 4.exe I get a pop-up saying 'Couldn't open executable!' I've been at this for days now, have been trying to find some way to fix it but completely lost. If you can help, that'd be greatly appreciated. Show less Reply
