Hey, so this was my favorite game as a kid and I started playing it again. First city in a few years and I realized that I really do not remember much except the functionality of all of the ploppable utilities and zones. I don't need a newb lecture, but I have some specific questions pertaining to my current city. So I usually start off by building two cities like in the image below. One industrial that is just a dump and then my residential/commercial. (I do not like having dirty industrial buildings in my city). Is it ok to start out like this? I have been building up the education and got a good amount of rich population. Then, I start getting the dreaded no job signs... My sims will not drive across town to work and I do not know what to do. Ill post a pic of my city under the region map, but it may not have any no job signs (this is because my comp crashed after half an hour of playing and I didn't have time to re-do what I just did), which was a lot Ok, so my other question was just pertaining to budget. I had the build the army base and the federal prison just so I could pay for everything. I do not want to sacrifice my healthcare, fire, or police because that nets me a high mayor rating and I can't stand the advisers bugging me. I have a picture of the city opinion polls below me. Last 2 questions on my agenda, what is a lot and a BAT? It is not outlined anywhere on these forums... And does anyone have a good list of things I should download to make the game more enjoyable? There is wayy too many for me to try and find. I use the PEG garbage chute already. I especially like downloading new utilities (for some odd reason), but other buildings, helpful transportation system things and other are certainly welcome. I didn't download the NAM because it seemed way too overwhelming, if someone wants to try and sell me on the NAM I will download it, but I do not have tons and tons of time to just play around with stuff, I just like to play this game leisurely. Thanks.
