  • What simcity 4 is? because i dont have a lot of type of roads like you =(

  • @AZULKREMA14 you need the rush hour expansion

  • @TheDinozRule , thanks men, but this one i can download on internet or I have to buy the cd?

  • @AZULKREMA14 lol... there are sites that you can download the deluxe version, but I don't recommend it because it may be illegal. I got mine from ebay. But again, it's up to you.

  • Check your tax rates, increase desirability and build more housing. If the economy wants housing, give it to them.

  • @VBackseatRomeoV Great tutorial man. Really informative and well written. Kudos to you!

  • everytime I click to start building, the game shutsdown... What is this crap?!

  • THIS SONG. arghhhh

  • i am having demand issues, my demand for everting except residential is down and my people have no jobs, and indutry does not want to expand. What should I do?

  • @BrettLorenz Never gunna give you up, never gunna let you down

  • hello in this verry well explained vid you talk about leaglize gamblng at 2:20. how on earth do you do that i didnt even know you could tamper with laws

  • Great video but add some commentary info, easier to follow along

  • You shouldn't watch these videos, its more fun trying to find your own way to build a city!

  • what happened to the old music? this music does not fit in...

    i still like ur simcity 4 vids

  • what is the name of the song?? its so cool

  • @macross650 dude, how can the song be cool? It's one of Youtube's shit.

  • ...I didn't think this was possible, but my city that has 320,000 people did have over 380,000 and smaller cities have no problems with RCI demand. What is going on with my big cities?

  • I have a very complicated question (for advanced users only) relating to SimCity 4. I have a very well-established region of over 2.2 million people with several large cities. My two largest currently have populations of over 260,000 and over 320,000 respectively with overmmercial and 50,000 industrial in both. Lately, the RCI demand has been negative for most areas but high-tech industry or low-medium wealth commercial services. But the past 2 days ALL 13 bars on the RCI demand are NEGATIVE!...

  • fucking song!!!

    

  • wow man great video! sure you've heard it many times and wort even get to read this but you video was a big help and very impressively put together, big props my man

  • lots of pollution though 

  • I can never get bus stops (and other public transport) to work. >.> No-one ever uses them! I always try building them a couple of blocks apart, but still all I get is "Black hole of a bus stop stymies system" on my ticker and my advisor telling me to get rid of them.

    And once with a massive city the traffic got really bad, so I spent ages building a subway system, made sure there were stations everywhere, and NO ONE BLOODY USED IT. -_-;;

    I dunno what I'm doing wrong, but I gave up. xD

  • @rexana You city is probably too small , they only work on bigger cities and keep in mind that some typ of citizens hate the bus. The higher the income > the less public transit they take. Start with busses in your heavy crowded "getto" and dont have too many busstops try to have logic in them. If the bus takes too long driving you will never get good commute's.

  • @rexana Sim City 4 has a bug that make the bus stops and others public transport don´t works. Take the Rush Hour expansion.

  • @duduvenom Yeah, I got the expansion a couple weeks ago and since then they've worked fine. :D

  • What zones can skyscrapers be built?

  • Title of the music that is

  • This is how Obama strategizes on how to run America.

  • i did everything u said to do in the video, but my dirty and low wealth wouldnt go down at the same time. what do i need to do?

  • solution to audio:

    1. Mute

    2. put on SOAD-byob

  • I lost my interest with this game when those damn vehicle minigames are designed so badly...

  • Yours must be deluxe or with rush hour? Cause im using SC4 only, and this tutorial to be honest makes my head spin. Sorry, tutorial doesnt help, at all. Tried though. My city now is like a ghetto place with only 5 thousand people.

  • @cacatboy That's because this guy's advice is shit. Consistent tax policies and a large number of different cities should help you, but you should try starting over first.

  • @cacatboy What do you mean?

  • @ThatGuyBen99

    i try doing like this guy unfortunately starting at 5k people, people dont have jobs and all, whilst i DID everything this guy showed. So then the industrial site all getting vacant, and basically the residential all shows no job. and all of it are apartments and black that looks like "projects". get it? this tutorial sucks.

  • @ThatGuyBen99 Because today i scrolled about 20videos, where that song was..... And there are so many guyz who hate that song.......... Its really start to be like an youtube's anthem :)

  • does sim city 4 work on Windows Vista? I'd LOVE to play it.

  • @ps3man76 it will work on vista :)

  • @ps3man76

    It's an uphill battle. Compatibility mode is necessary, but you're better off just installing an XP virtual box.

  • @marocon60 thanks

  • @ps3man76 Yes, it works on Vista.

    And for anyone else who might be wondering and see this, it works on Windows 7, too. :)

  • step 1: mute video

    step 2: pause video

    step 3: open new tab

    step 4: go to youtube in said new tab

    step 5: look up your favorite song

    step 6: play song, go back to this video, un-pause, and enjoy

  • hello mute button

  • I really could'nt understand anything of this

    You should remake this tutorial with voice in it maybe, and take it a little bit slower.

  • What about the railroad. I use alot of rail but not too much. My city has two sides. One has industries, jails, buisnesses, and houses. The other has the mayors house and parks

  • @CSXandSpartanfan33

    Railroads are almost completely unnecessary. Any rail is too much rail. It should only be used for aesthetics, to tie an industrial area together.

    They do serve as industrial demand cap breakers, but roads and seaports do the same thing. Fuck railroad.

    It's a neat thing, though, that you have a literal wrong side of the tracks. I've noticed that you've pluralized jails, however. I have a city with a massive crime problem, but the jail only has 180 inmates. This is odd.

  • Your idea of setting up neighbour cities is wonderful, but the grid system and zone distribution you are using leaves it open to the infinite commute bug.

    Taxes should never be lowered to one nor zero on anything. As I've stated previously, consistency is best for growth when it comes to tax policies. You'll also want to be making money off of the tenants of your cities.

    This video also fails to cover a general strategy to apply to all cities, it just seems to be an expose on your style.

  • Landfills are also way too expensive for a beginning city. It is easier to simply set up a neighbouring industrial city to drum up demand, and have a low-funded garbage burning plant there. The neighbour deal then becomes very cheap.

    Libraries, museums, and colleges aren't very important in the long run either. Perhaps once the surplus is greater than 1500 simoleons, it's a good way to offset it, but they are definitely not vital to any city.

    Zone density should never be anything but high.

  • This is awful advice.

    This has inefficient zoning which employs excessive amounts of avenues and highways but fails to effectively keep traffic down. Furthermore, raising taxes to 12% anywhere will cause a decrease in demand in all surrounding cities. Consistent tax policies are much better.

    Why use a polluting plant such as an oil plant when you can save so much on coal?

    Also, Landmarks are much more expensive than Marinas and are inferior in terms of the benefits.

  • Getting RTMT would help too.

  • Awesome video! But placing highways lowers land value and are expensive. Putting avenues in is what I do.

  • Comment removed

  • If you're starting a city from scratch with no neighboring cities, go by the guide. Industry, low-density residential, coal plant, a little commercial. Build up from there. 85 percent of the cities I've tried to build up like this have failed, it may work but its not done right and it looks like shit.

  • MUTE!!

  • Most of the video is wrong. First, make a small city, make alot of Power Plants(coal plants cause they are cheaper and more efficent), make water towers or pomps, and finally make some Landfills there. This is the city you gonna take Power, Water from and the place where your garbage is going to be. Your main city needs industry only for more population, after it raches like 30k ppl, you can start demolish the industry and start commercial zoning.

  • is simcity 4 deluxe or rush hour expansion pack?

  • @tutorialesloquendo42 Most likely Deluxe, however Rush Hour and Deluxe are pretty much the same.

  • @BrettLorenz Woah there. steady...calm..we dont want an accident here, now do we

  • What does Auto ordinance toggling mean?

  • @BrettLorenz Yeah like that hasn't been put on as a comment everytime 009 sound System is put as a soundtrack. So Original

  • @BrettLorenz : which song is this ?? :/

    rply

  • What song did you put on i like it lol :)

  • A question about the bars.... When there above the median line does that mean it needs more or less of that kind of building?

  • @SnugOFP

    If you mean what I'm thinking, then above the median line is good.

  • simcity4 ,5 , City XL - simcity.3dn.ru

  • ... I think the city looks ugly. Like, the density is all spaced out unevenly and once the city has been running for a while it will look... Just stupid. I don't know how else to word it.

  • @rct3fan24 I agree. Building cities like this may be affective, but will look ugly. He also played on easy, but you would have to because of the highway building he does.

    Not hatin on anybody, just saying building like that looks ugly.

  • do people really enjoy bland trance/dance music so much that its necessary to put it on every youtube video?

  • Oh my disgusting french cheese I am starting to like this song....!!!!1!!!!!

  • what is the song's name?

  • U don't put parks next to industries, cuz tbh u wouldn't wanna go to a park where theres gona be full of smoke... just my opinion

  • @kkcuty46 u put the taxes up to about8.5 and remember 4x4squares. another way is to make more agriculture and parks and trees because they don't like the pollution. dont have to much dirty industry. if u have vacant (black) buildings, demolish them and then the demad may go up quite a bit. one more thing is to delete other cities in the region so the sims dont have anywhere else to move to but ur city. these are the things i did and im very seccessful i hoped this helped. reply bck for more help

  • @prants6 ty for the help

  • Somebody please respond to this comment because i have a very important question. Please reply with @kkcuty46. I have lowered my taxes way down to zero but my demand dosn't go up very much, is there any other way that you can get the demand to go up, and i need a fast way, my city is struggling!!!

  • If you don't have Sim City 4 DELUXE EDITION you can't do this city!!...

  • Not really a good tutorial. boring city too, your placing everything in a 4x4 grid. I never seen a real city build like that. Yes you can get more population in then my cities, you probably won't since you mix dirty industry in it. Is it fun? Not for me, i like variation and fun, playfull layouts.

  • So if your the mayor of Sim City that means you can destroy cities with 9.7 earthquakes at any given time?

  • this song is almost in every youtube video

  • @future89danger Its because the people who made the song pay for each view. Once a video gets enough views you can put this song on and start making money off it. Who wouldn't do it.

  • @future89danger nvr heard it before -.-

    it's usually that stupid song

  • @future89danger People get money for using it on popular vids

  • @raytenana No...it's one of the copyright free songs you can put with your video with youtube. don't make shit up.

  • @Adam1992i Its been stated by several people

  • @raytenana Looked it up, no you don't and stuff can spread, only because a few people can think it does doesn't mean it's true

  • haha you'd do a great mayor XD

  • what if i use the allunlocks cheat? (you don't deserve it)

  • Will all please rise for youtubes national anthem.

  • 1,337 comments!

  • 9:06 thats a nice town

  • i got my first skyscraper and I JIZZED IN MY PANTS

  • Just started playing SC4 and my God it's a completely different beast to SC3K, feel like i'm starting from the beginning all over again.

  • why is it my city commute time always long?traffic problem.this usually happen when my population reached 40k

  • I have a question, with this commerical officies, how, when you come to "main" city it is so high, I did exacly as you and it is still under 0... Can you help me with this part?

  • You are really good, and I know this is working 100%, but I am new in this game, and I don't understand all stuff you said, I know English well, that is not a problem... I tried this and I couldn't do that, but I know it is working... If you can help me, just write me ok?

  • Ok, ofcourse you started with $400 grand. What a dumb video.

  • i have water pollution problems. what do i do?

  • @DVCproductions9395 Wow, you think of that all by yourself?

  • looks like something from grand theft auto. from me, that's a huge compliment. nice work @VBackseatRomeoV it looks like a masterpiece :)

  • 108 people don't know what a good city looks like

  • somebody please tell what it means when it says "ABCs will put sims on solid ground."

  • @saintben2008 Means you need schools I think.

  • @saintben2008 -you need more education

  • is this SERIOUSLY what i have been doing wrong? my god

  • could you please change the music in the second video? I really would like to see the second part, but its not possible in germany because of music copyrights. thats a pitty

  • Education is the key for getting skyscrapers. keeping them educated will make them rich getting a score of 180+ on education on the graph will give you a good result and make your sims rich. and for you to afford the education cost is "by adjusting the education budget of each establishment JUST ENOUGH for how many students they have".

    here is d explanation 4 this. the more educated your sims r the higher salary they recieve and the wealthier they become.

    oops not enough characters remaining

  • no wonder if other player try this method.. they will end up in huge debt..

    I'm a SimCity 4 pro Mayor and i have been playing this game for 5yrs on and off and I could say that I mastered how this game works. I understand how the demands grow and how sims develop. there are several mistakes on this tutorial or probably not written on this video. somehow this tutorial is good enough for making a metropolis but not for a healthy city

    I will be posting another comment for my advice for begginers

  • Why did EA have to murder the Sim City franchise?

  • @Maxmulham Because of Cities XL...

  • How did you get the residential skyscrapers? I get them but it takes ages and not all of them become skyscrapers!

  • I can't believe out of all of YouTube, no one's ever decided to make any of the Pokemon regions into SimCity 4. If I was still into Pokemon now, I would've made Johto and Kanto, myself.

    Does anyone know how I can get the file for a Money Tree? I can't find it, anywhere.

  • run my city plz, i wana be rich

  • R.I.P. Simcity 1989 - 2007

    (P.s. Simcity: Societies sucks)

  • i saw this video 5 months ago and didnt work i will try again though becuase i am SO FUCKING ANXUOIS TO GET A FUCKING BUILDING IN THE PEICE OF SHIT GAME not that it is bad im just horrible at it

  • I tried this but I ended up having my RCI demand go down in both cities... I dont get why! :/ I'm gonna try the whole process again right now.

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome video but bad music. How to watch videos: 1. Press Play for 1 second, then pause it. 2. If it had this song (70%) then see the next steps. If it had another song (30%) then just watch the video normally. 3. Open a tab and go to YOUTUBE. 4. Go to any music you like. 5. Come back to this tab and mute the video 6. Go to the 2nd tab and play the music. 7. Come back to this and watch. WHAT I SAID DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T LIKE THE VIDEO I AM NOT A HATER I ONLY HATE THIS SONG
  • It's funny how you managed to truncate the process of creating a successfully balanced SimCity, a process which can take weeks when done properly, taking other cities and the region into account, into only TEN MINUTES! If this is how you play SimCity then you shouldn't be playing SimCity.

  • i'm the only one that dont like that sim city 4 is regional

  • this game would be good for African Presidents they should play this game so they dont fuck up their countries!!

  • Comment removed

  • You should be Herman Cain's Economic Adviser.

  • What does "fund your power plant down to 200 early on" mean??

  • @flakkCZ you can set how much cash it receives to keep it running, just turn it down to 200

  • gameplay 100/100 + song 0/100 = 50 / 100

    still enjoyed the gameplay though

  • Why are my ears bleeding?

  • i build cities that contain over 750.000 sim and a region with a total of 70.000.000 sim :D

  • nice great video great help , but to be honest shitest music its overused!

  • Comment removed

  • FUUUUUUU.... MUSIC!!!!!

  • i did exactly as he did and i ended up with after an hour, -150 simolians

  • @thegameshow0 Give it more time, and mess with your taxes early on untill your making some money back, then you can even out the taxes around 20K population.

  • I have build a city of 200.000 people

  • Why not give a talk over on this video rather than an overused track??

  • How do you get the environment bar green? I know we should always plant trees and build some parks. Is that all you've done?

  • This song is actually very relaxing and nice...even if it os overused.

  • @derpster100 LOL! that is hilarious

  • ok ppl.. we get it ... turn off ur speakers if u dont like it.. we dont need to hear your bitching

  • Comment removed

  • WHY CANT ALL POLITICIANS JUST PLAY SIM CITY?

  • I just got the game today. Every time I start, it automatically makes me start with only 2 tutorials, and $100,000. I have no difficulty option to change and get more money to start with. Does anyone know if there is a fix to this? Or if I am maybe doing something wrong?

  • @beezner12 change the money in the save game

  • @beezner12 You have Simcity 4. the one where you can choose how much money you can start with is Simcity 4 Deluxe or Simcity 4 Rush Hour... :( 

  • Demand for Sim City 5??

  • how about making a tutorial on how to shorten commute times?

  • @xPGPRoDiGy97 To reduce the amount of time, make sure you have the demand for high tech. Check your RCI graph. If there is demand for High-Tech, pause, and dezone your industrial completely. Raise taxes of Dirty Industry and everything else except for High tech. Create a new zone near your residential and voila!

  • @Crzynoob But then what happens to all your Sims who work in your industry? they will be unemployed by the bucket loads! (In simcity 4, industry is the main source for jobs)

  • @chernwei5784 Mostly. But at this stage, the commercial can take over for you.

  • dwing dwing dwing dwing dwing dwing dwing dwing dwing . . . aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

  • i think it could totally work in theory, still have yet to make a succsecful city outa these guidlines though

  • how do i keep from having my budget go negative? mostly when i start...

  • graphics sucks!

  • @victor22728

    Why is everything about graphics nowadays? Who gives a damn about graphics if a game is good, i mean look at Minecraft. Why the hell would it be so popular if graphics were the deciding matter when you buy a game?

  • @piemanization I agree, but Minecraft sucks.

  • @ballzt0u

    Meh, your opinion.

  • @victor22728 well CitiesXL just for baby I think... lol

  • @victor22728 maybe BECAUSE ITS 6 YEARS OLD
