Sim City 4: Building A Region From The Ground Up Part 4

[telescopereplicator]

......hhmmmmmm. Bad instructions. The way you lay out streets you are jusk asking for huge traffic congestion ! And judging by how the city looks, there is no room left for railways, metro and bus stations, highways, etc... Bad planning.

[themafia306]

How do you rotate/change the way a building faces?

I noticed you were putting tennis courts in the land-locked areas in the middle of the residential blocks. I was wondering, would the tennis courts still have an effect (or even get used) if they aren't next to a road?

I was under the impression that anything which isn't next to a road or which is landlocked within a zone simply has no effect on its surroundings and doesn't get used by the sims.

"I like to live dangerously, bugger off!" LMAO.

[trackmaniakid27]

can you make a land called Redsmith? Redsmith is a residential and Commercial Zone area.

[mdsuks]

Nice City!

[TroyTompkinsRacing]

@mdsuks Thank you. Sorry for the late replies to the comments.

[mima9699]

@TroyTompkinsRacing ok thanx!

[megaipodfan]

@mima9699 you press home on your keyboardand it rotates

[mima9699]

@megaipodfan ok thanx!!!

[trackmaniakid27]

nice uh buy, how did you rename those?

[coyote7272]

How do I actually create a REGION? I made a new one and it's all Flat, terrian-wise, do I really have to zone-by-zone adjust each zone or can i do it all at once

[IracingBTR]

@coyote7272 Unfortunately yes, unless you go to simtropolis and download the terrain mod. I never could get it to work for me though...

[benitoandfriend]

come si fa ad avere poche auto in giro?

[IracingBTR]

@benitoandfriend Sarà nelle opzioni. Impostare il numero di auto ad alta o qualcosa di simile. Spero che tu possa capire questo.

[kingofrome100]

where do you download those mods?

[IracingBTR]

@kingofrome100 simtropolis or SC4 Devotion

[123stew]

What mod are u using to create the groups of trees u place between the buildings?

[IracingBTR]

@123stew i forgot the name, but if I remember correctly it should be included in a tree pack that also has a bunch of other tree sets in it as well.

[RunemanJaek51]

how do you get the trees on the roads and that modern church?

[IracingBTR]

@RunemanJaek51 simtropolis. sorry i dont have the links to them...

[duartemad]

1 question...

What bout comute time?

I build to far way form the conections and bum abandoned due to comune time...

I place a bus system but u nothing...

How did u do it?

PS:i have NAM

[IracingBTR]

@duartemad Im not sure actually. I used to have that problem when i started out, but for some reason i just was able to design my region so that all the cities were close enough to each other so that they worked well together. sorry, but ever since my old computer crashed, i dont really play Sim City 4 anymore...

[The95Alex]

it's simply bad.....

[syrenski]

Nicely done. You have a lot of patience! I'll try to make my next town like this. Keep up the good work. By the way, are you using the Rush Hour version?

[SleekandModern]

yup, this is rush hour with some modds and downloads from Simtropolis.

[XXXXmrcheesemanXXXX]

when placing residential zones, how did you get rid of the stubs of strrets that automatically appear?

[IracingBTR]

hold the space button

[saruilea]

any particular reasons for the layout for residentials?

[IracingBTR]

not really, just more realistic imo

[miked9372]

when zoning how did you make the road (street) go way?

[IracingBTR]

press/hold SHIFT

[harbeh]

omg i love the music in your vids. makes me concentrate hha thanks for posting!

[IracingBTR]

Your welcome and thank you for watching

;)

[Stupidgut6]

how do you "finish" a city

[duartemad]

never there is an end...

you can always need to do something here or there...

And what you consider if "the city is full" that is like the end of construction...

[IracingBTR]

yup, it goes on and on... *sinister laugh*

I usually will quit playing a city after I have zoned all of the tiles that I can or that I care to. When the city has a substantial profit, I will probably start a new one.

[Ki11ionareLovesH3]

how do you run the EXE installer because the best downloadables on simtropolis need the EXE installer.Can anyone tell me

[IracingBTR]

it should be able to run on your computer when you click download. Try saving it to any folder and then extracting the contents and trying to get to the .exe installer that way.

Tell me what happens that causes it not to work.

[yornarobelco]

your months going fucking fast isn't ?

[IracingBTR]

yea it's run on cheetah speed for a good portion of the videos

[yornarobelco]

okej where can find buildings and items for simscity and can I downloading it

[IracingBTR]

simtropolis(dot)com is where I downloaded everything for these videos

[BlueFusion64]

WOW, your region is AWESOME =O

[IracingBTR]

Thank you very much

[rockmanpunkman]

i have been watching ur videos and i must say they r very impressive. Your cities r much better than th pieces of crap i put together. lol. 5/5. best sim city 4 vids i have seen on youtube. well done. ^_^

[IracingBTR]

Wow! Thank you very much! I started this series as a fun and time managment project, but I must admit that this has come pretty far. I am working on the next city right now along with a tutorial for beautifying a city and some neat road layouts. My next video is going to be made as the first 3 were where everything is being built as I film it instead of showing you guys the finished product only.

Thank you again for that comment, that means a lot to me :)

[MegaJtrain]

i noticed that some of your buildings dissappered when you zomed out. try running the graphics in software mode.

nice vid.

[IracingBTR]

Thank you, I'll try that because that has been looking kind of wierd.

[RayZR]

I've been hearing a lot about how you should run Sim City 4 in Software Mode. After a LOT of searching on the internet, I've turned up zero guides on how to achieve that.

So my question is, how exactly do you turn on software mode? Thanks in advance!

[IracingBTR]

I'm still not exactly sure how to run it in software mode.

You may want to private message MegaJtrain with that question
