Blackfox Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I found my Sim City 4 disc, and have been killing a few days making some cities - and having mixed results. Thought I might make this thread so we can all discuss cities, tricks and tips, etc. I've been making a city which so far has been all low density - starting to slowly introduce high density housing to some of the more affluent areas of the city. Currently have 800,000 in the bank, and a mayor rating of 70. This is probably the best city I have. Anyway, get discussin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haden Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 The thing I loved about Simcity was the music. Yeh I know ive got problems but it was just so nice in the background. Also what a good looking game! As for tips well just build a balanced city I guess. I have the expansion as well! Rush Hour I think its called.

Fresh Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 My City: Finanicial District: Twister Building(With Sim City Stadium): Building overlooking city campus: The Village: I've been working on the city for a while now, 100 major rating and too much money to even bother, haveing some growing issues and recently out-grew the biggest airport so had to make my own. Right now doing a Greenfield situation in an attempt to ristrict growth to specific areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I like looking at Freshy's pics of his city. I've not played Sim City 4 (twoulda killed my old PC) but I reckon I might get it in a month or two, I'm a big fan of the games like. I have the Millenium Edition or something, and before that in my boyhood I liked Sim City on the Snes... though I was wick at it without the money cheat lol. Ive been playing it on the VC lately and its such a great little game. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Thanks darksnowman As my city continues to grow i thought it was about time i looked at a district i haven't seen in a while. The area was built to provide low skilled jobs to the masses however it has became a bit overwhelmed by workers now commuting to the city because of my new superhighway. Here are some pictures of the regeneration. Before, Low pay, High rises. Before, Heavy dirty Industry After, New Euro contemporary mid suburbs providing jobs for themselfs in midsize office areas.

gmac Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 this is just making me want to look out my Sim City 4 disc and play, my only problem is that I usually blow all my cash early then the city falls apart :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Haha, yeah gmac, I'm just the same! You start the game with great ambition, and a fairly decent kitty to get you started... and you go overboard zoning as much as you can and watching the place grow like nothing you've seen before! ...only to be broke for years to come and unable to adapt to the needs of the people. Like an expensive airport or sea port. Argh, patience is of the essence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I'm willing to offer help if you guys need it. Operation Regeneration continued in another of my cities. Before, Low wages, no schools, one small medical centre. Old Coal powerplant right next to homes More dirty industry After, Very rich mansions and luxury homes No -one opposed my new Radio tower near people homes so up it went A handful of appartment buildings have sprung up Super Highways is finally complete! You can see it below acting as a ring road around the entire city. Live view of region Transportation view, the Highway is in red, offering links to the entire city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfox Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Curses! The RCI demand meter is really low in my city, and the population is just under 25k. I need to get it higher so I can earn a bit more cash, then spash out on some lavish things. Any idea how to get the RCI meter up? Cos otherwise people only very slowly move into the newly zoned areas, and i want to get the population up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
