[QUOTE=halflife_123;23547982]Apparently not, Steam insists the key is invalid. Lucky for me the discs are ok. :v:[/QUOTE]
Didn't work for me neither, so meh.
[QUOTE=Siguy;23546130]I'm a long time fan of SimCity. In fact, it's one of the first games I ever got really into. I still play SimCity 4 from time to time, but I've always played it vanilla. Can anyone recommend some mods to start out with? Most people seem to accumulate them over the course of years...[/QUOTE]
At the very least, you'll want the Network Addon Mod off Simtropolis. THe most recent version is May 2010, and it basically retools the transport network to make it actually [i]work[/i]
Watch out though, don't do what I did and breeze through the installation. If you have the UK version, you'll have to switch it to Left-Hand Drive, otherwise, the entire simulation goes tae'shite

You're very imaginative when it comes to names.

Better than mine, sometimes I just bash the keys on my keyboard, so I'll have names like
aloujbhqwa
and the ever lovely
asdfjkl
But yeah, for starting out with mods, do the network addon mod. Saves you a great deal of headache.
SC4Devotion.com
simtropolis.com
Those are the two sites I mainly got the mods from. The thing I like about SC4D is that they have a tracking tool that lets you know what things you've downloaded, which is VERY helpful when it comes to the nightmare of dependencies.
also in simtropolis, there are many threads in there that talk about playing styles, and how one can make these gorgeous enviroments. whether it be making rural farmland, metropolises, suburbs, you name it, it's in there somewhere. check the omnibus @simtropolis for more info.
And if you're running out of ideas, it's good to check the city journals from both places once in a while. they can give you a new idea that you may be able to try out.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;23552751]No you can't. Unless the deluxe version has a single key vs the original + Exp with two keys.[/QUOTE]
the deluxe version has one key, and I tried mine on Steam and it didn't work.
Simcity 4 has the best soundtrack EVER.

Strange, someone in this thread earlier could activate his SC4 on steam.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;23557425]Simcity 4 has the best soundtrack EVER.[/QUOTE]I have some of it on my MP3, one song in particular is amazing driving music.
I fucking hate the police missions that you can do in Rush Hour. I wanted to complete them all to unlock the deluxe police station, but some of the missions are so fucking annoying - specifically the ones where you have to catch a car. So many fucking times I have gotten close enough to the vehicle to see it but then it vanishes and I am told that the criminals have 'escaped'. What a load of crap.
You know you just need enough crime and you can unlock the deluxe police station.

I had some of the simcity 3000 and 4 songs on my ipod while I was in california, and while we were driving down the highway, I kept imagining buildings and making up cities in the terrain we were driving in.
For some reason, every time I made a city, I could never get to the point where everything stabilized because there was too much pollution before I got the cleaner energy unlocks. :geno:
I'm up the shitter. I got told to start zoning medium-density areas, but then everyone started pouring into my city. Now everyone is unemployed. Fuck. :geno:

Wind power spam
I made a good city, with almost no pollution, I had fair amount of money then the game crashed. And I did not save.
Fuck. By the way how do you guys get big income? No matter what, my income is only 200-300 Plus always, bit more if I can make a deal with the neighbours.

Not by taxes.

[QUOTE=Profanwolf;23564637]taxes[/QUOTE]
I do that and they start bitching about high taxes.
[QUOTE=Canary;23569237]Not by taxes.[/QUOTE]
taxes, but not extremely high, just a help to push shit up. I always maintain my powerplants/services to run at exactly what they need though, no more no less.
I hate when one city is the garbage hub so more cities can export garbage to the incinerator-land, and your advisor says ' STOP TAKING TRASH HURRDURR I DONT KNOW HOW EXPORTS WORK '
The advisers are terrible at their job. The transportation bro is a dick. "OMGOMGTRAFFIC NO WAAAAYY!"
Trans-bro, it's called life. Everyone deals with traffic.
Yeah, as much sc4 love there is in this thread, I really like the sc3000 advisors WAY more. Even though I liked SC4's music (which seemed more subtle) I kind of like sc3000's music better(which was really jazzy).

Did you ever listen to Primordial Dream from the SC4 soundtrack? There's a reason why is it unchecked from the song menu...
How do you guys manage to make your cities successful and shit? What do you start with and get some income?
[QUOTE=sa2fan;23606446]Did you ever listen to Primordial Dream from the SC4 soundtrack? There's a reason why is it unchecked from the song menu...[/QUOTE]
That song is really fucked up.
Someone could easily write a creepypasta about its existence.
The name is also an enigma.
"Primordial Dream"? What is it supposed to mean? Primordial means ancient, foremost, and such... Cthulhu pops into mind. :v:
