SimCity V (2013) - screens/artwork and information

I get what you're saying, I just still need some sort of picture / video to highlight this for me!

I have zero problem getting mansions and expensive housing I just don't seem to be able to sort density out :(. It's driving me mad and it's holding back my population.

I can't find one.

Just get a bus depot, and buses stops up. Get a school up and school bus stops.
Also police/medical/fire helps a lot.


Then watch click on the house and watch. If you got a green arrow, then just give it time. However before it upgrades density you need appropriate road around them. The bar is split into three and the road comes in three levels. So you match to the next stage. Or just upgrade in one go.
 
Hmm. Cheers, I'll start a game and give some of this a go! I was doing bus stops before but blah.

How close do bus stops need to be / type thing?

I need a bloody book to read about this game, I used to be ~ok at SimCity 4.

thgey are under the transport tab, and you can pretty much place them everywhere be warned though...

Your citizens seem to love bus rides, and they get packed fast.

When you hover the bus stop over the road, the roads turns bright green and fade as you get further away, that shows you the range of them.

But as I said density is not instant. Even with everything you need to press fast forward and wait, making sure they always have green arow on the density bar.
 
I'm moving house over the next couple of days, so I may not be very active on the OCUK region on the Europe West 6 server. I definitely will build up my city more, just will be a bit slow over the next couple of days.
 
If only it had the same amount of buildings as simcity social does... :o

other than that and space issues it's a good game and sucks you in easily more addictive than drugs lol.
 
Are any of you guys setting up another region at some point soon?

Im getting a little bored of creating cities amongst 3 innactive players.

They should introduce an auto-kick feature for people who are innactive for certain periods of time. Understandably its only been a weekend but I mean for periods of like 30 days or something.

I had a city where 2 other people were working with me on Friday and it was awesomely fun. Unfortunately I screwed up the city and abandoned it to try a new one not realising that teamwork and cooperation are rare.

In regards to the density for buildings it is mainly down to what the road can handle. When you hover over the road type it will show you what it supports in the pop-up for it. You can have a match of any of the three wealth types with any of the three density types.

Basically that means you can have small poor houses or large poor complexes. This also rings true for small rich mansions to larger rich complexes. The larger the density the more people that live in it.

Its worth noting that while most people use the boring American 'block' style of building their cities you should be mindful that as the density increases so does the footprint of the building and if you don't have enough space for the highest density building it will become stuck on whatever is on. You will know if this is an issue if you hover over the building and on its pop-up it will say 'not enough room for expansion' or something to that point.
