sim city 4

well thats just funny, the other day i thought hmmmm i gona play this again, and today this thread get bumped...


...but i just cant get into it, in a way i want a city thats already build, and i want to improve it. but i gotta build it all from scratch, which takes too long :(
 
Never installed it on my Vista PC. Every so often I fell I should!

All the cities I posted have been rebuilt many times. Was always tweaking them to make them better and to include the latest custom content.
 
Thanks for digging up this thread.

I can't remember how to zone 1x1 residential so I only get $ and no $$ $$$ moving in - can anyone find the tutorial on how to do it? I remember it was a tutorial showing you how to make life like residential zones but can't for the life of me find it.

press alt as u drag ** box then you can make it the size you want, if u use the lowest res zoning u shouldny get any $$ or $$$
 
Yeh I can make the boxes, just no one moves in. I can't remember the specific requirements to get 1x1 $ housing going. For some reason they don't populate until you zone 2x1 etc.

There WAS a way of getting round this (no hacks, no addons etc), but I can't remember how.
 
Well, after putting off buying SimCity4 for all these years, this thread has finally persauded me to.
£15 for the Deluxe edition isn't too shabby! :)
 
Had to resort to buying a new copy of it. :(

Managed to pick it up for £7 though, so im relatively pleased. :)

Can post pics of cities later if anyone is interested. :D

Anyone know why its so laggy with such a basic city with a 3.456Ghz C2D and a X1900XTX? :/

I haven't patched it yet, does it do much?

Cheers

I think there is a bit of a problem with the game dealing with multiple CPU cores, I'm sure when I had a quick look through this thread someone posted a fix to stop it crashing etc due to multiple cores

Posty, you don't fancy uploading your massive city to somewhere so we can all take a closer look, do you? ;)

Ah right - will have to search for stuff when I get home from work. Have virtually the same spec as you Concord and couldn't work out why it was so bad last night - was almost unplayable!

seem to remember there being issues on ATi cards not being identified correctly. iirc you can go into a config file and change the setting for nobackflip or summat and that helps no end.

I believe it also uses an odd method of drawing things which modern graphics cards aren't designed for.
 
Thanks to this thread! GRRRRR!

Im going to start playing this game again.

I remember reading somewhere that you can download a graphics updater?

Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks.
