SC4: Rush Hour in Alabama

[MattH]

Under terraforming tools in the 'Mayor' menu. Hehe don't tell Tassadar .

In some cases, U-Drive-It is the fastest/best way to get hard to reach rewards. For example, just a few train missions and you have the spaceport .

p.s. Don't you hate how the 'green grass' park doesn't match up to anything?

Ah, thanks.

Meh... Seems almost like cheating.

Yeah... What the hell, you can only put it in rectangular areas, and you can't put like trees or flowers in between, 'cause every type of garden has a differently colored grass. Someone needs to come up with better green grass.

Have you tried importing it from within the game? That's how I usually get the city into the game first time.

Alright, I've got some webspace now. (Thanks to MattH for pointing me to 1and1 - just one day left of their 3 years free hosting offer, I think. )

Grimdale

[vovan]

Odd... Is anyone else having the same problem with ym city?

[General Ludd]

I haven't had any problem with your file, vovan... although I did have the same problem (I think) with ADG's. Try putting it in the downloads folder instead, Tass.

[vovan]

Well, actually... Could it have something to do with having vs not having the patch? I just updated to version 1.1.618 or whatever, and as will now play my next turn, and post my new city. We'll see if that helps any...

[MattH]

I don't see it either, vovan

Grimdale, 2010.

Population: 10 811
Commercial Jobs: 2 559
Industrial Jobs: 5 405


It's 2005, and Mayor Osweld has big plans for Grimdale. A large development project is planned for the western side of the ridge:




But his plans take a setback, when people inexplicably begin to flee the city. The mayor suspects that it's that eye-sore of a city to the east, known as Tassagrad, that is behind it.



So adjustments are made to the development plan - what was once intended to be a high-class residential area over looking the river is turned into a small industrial complex. With more job prospects available, people start returning to the city and the new neighbourhood begins to grow.



Unfortunetly, this new change in the plan brought on unexpected power demands, and the gas plant is unable to keep up. Wind turbines are errected temporarily untill a site for a new power plant is chosen.



With a loan taken out a new coal plant has been built, and a new development plan has started on the south western peninsula. Although there is some worry about the pollution the new coal plant will cause, it is sure to supply the power needed for a growing Grimdale.



The Western Ridge development plan has been a stunning success, with the population of Grimdale more than doubling since it's completion.

Osweld, Vovan: Can you update your Simcities?

Also, be warned that when I updated mine it didn't quite update the executable

Vovan bought the game, so he shouldn't have to worry bout that.

so I would get constant, unavoidable crashes. You may have to get the No cd.

I'll start looking for it, I guess...

[General Ludd]

Alright, I've re-saved my latest city file with the patch applied. If you had any problems importing it before, hopefully you won't now.


And I get dizzy looking at your city, Vovan.

[vovan]

Yeah, yeah, sorry, I have only one more year to play for the next turn, and I don't have the older version at the five-year mark any more. (I mean, yeah, I could download it, update it, then reload the new one again... But it would be faster to just play that one year. Will be there in like an hour or so.)

And I get dizzy looking at your city, Vovan.

Why?
