SimCity V (2013) - screens/artwork and information

Well one of my cities is about to come to a finish, not sure if it's because of a bug or me.

My recycling plants aren't producing any alloy or plastic, despite being full of recyclables. So my processor plant isn't doing anything, and I'm not exporting anything either...so I'm broke.

Any ideas?

I had the same problem with my recycling facility last night and read that it was a bug, the solution was to knock it down and build a new one, but not a great option if you have no money. There was a suggestion that the bug only happens if you are sending your recycling trucks to other cities, but that seemed unconfirmed.
 
Not sure if this is a dumb question or not, but I've not tried a tourism town and I'm wondering if you go down that route can you gradually do away with your industrial area and just focus on casinos and stuff, or do you still have to have a mix?

So long as your Sim's have access to other area's connected they can always find jobs in other towns. If i were you invest heavily in your mass transit bus and rail station's. This should eliminate your need for industry.

One of my clan mates, is very very slowly building up a residential and commerical city only. He's making good steady progress.

Some of my trucks are going to another city, so that's possible.

I've also read that you need educated sims for it to work too. Which could be an explanation, as my overall education and tech level did suddenly take a dive, for no obvious reason. So that's a possibility too.

@arknor

There are 2 unclaimed zones in our region. Are they reserved for anyone?

they are supposed to be reserved for
Blue_Glaucus (Glaucus on ocuk away with work till friday)
Traffic_Warden (Waiting for tesco to deliver)

someone else quit though and matty or someone took it as their second city so in theory there's one space if he abandons it

It's a shame you dont have the space to do multiple things in one city, like have a casino or processor facility etc....all to the point where they do really well.

I presume you just have to dedicate one region to each.

theres enough space for more than one specialty, you can keep your residential area surprisingly compact and stick have a good size population
 
if someone creates another region reserve me a spot.

im almost ready to play.

ive now built my pc and am just awaiting a new gpu.

game all installed but not built 1 road yet.
 
My city last night... As you can tell i'm running on 6x690's and 4 Xeon chips!

Is this actually worth getting?
The game looks really good fun and i want it, but i don't think i've seen a good review for it yet. quick read through this thread though and i don;t really know why there's so many bad reviews.
If yes, where the cheapest place now... place i normally buy from is £39.99

Does anyone know if you have to have both a grade school and a high school or can you demolish the grade school once you've met the requirements for a high school? I remember reading somewhere that you don't need both but want to be sure first.

I'd like to know this too. People had already unlocked all of the education in my region, is it pointless to have a school and a university in the same city?
