    My most successful attempt resulted in the upper left quadrant of the start screen filling my monitor, with no way of accessing the rest of the screen.
    Use Win XP compatibility mode.

        Well, you won't get any medium or highwealth sims with services, so you'll be left with a pretty ugly city if you never offer public services. You just have to provide them step by step.

          It is appalling that there are so many other choices that the government could make to save $5 billion, but they choose to take the food off the table of the needy.

          Let's all hope that both political parties will actually negotiate over ways to cut spending, increase revenue, and target programs to provide opportunity to people so they won't need gov't assistance.

          Your a knee jerk reactionist McFun.

            I was, and every other configuration I could think of. That's six hours I'll never get back.
            No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                    Dude, you're talking to a Democrat about spending less?

                      What is NAM? Name of a patch on Simcity 4's website?

                      This would be awesome if this patch causes sims to actually USE the damn highways that I put up. :desire:

                      • Network addon mod. The default commuting distances in SC4 are absurdly short (shorter even than SC2K IIRC) and NAM fixes that. It also improves the pathfinding, which makes it far more likely people will use the most efficient route to work.

                        Additionally it adds a bunch of transportation features, but you can choose not to install those.

                            And I get this add-on mod from the official website? Or a fan site?
