FP SimCity 4 Collab v.3 Now with 100% less Dropbox! - Games

No idea. But right now with 20% tax on R$$$ they constantly move in. This is unplayable, the moment i plop down an elementary school my city is screwed. Half of my plots turn to high wealth residental.

Great...

i think we should start over and somehow restrict the plugins

[QUOTE=HendoV2;39516254]i think we should start over and somehow restrict the plugins[/QUOTE] Like asking for allowance in the thread about the plugins you're about to upload.

Just limit it to bare bones necessary plugins. Is there any way to lock the folder meaning only the "admin" of this dropbox could edit it? Basically, right now, we're fairly screwed as we cant do anything. Any attempts at building anything just ends in total disaster.

Would it be possible for me to import one of my previous backups though? EDIT: Apparently yes.

I am suspecting the file, "SimCity 4 Extra Cheats Plugin(NO RCI)", since it was added yesterday, which seems to be when the problem occurred. However it doesn't seem to have RCI cheats. [url]http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/21118-simcity-4-extra-cheats-plugin/[/url] But it feels like it can't be a coincidence. [editline]8th February 2013[/editline] It's the only thing that we all share. I mean, if one individual plays around with his RCI, even that shouldn't change the RCI of everyone right? Like, my city isn't even connected to anyone else. Why are my demands being changed.

[QUOTE=archival;39514309]Thinking I may have to flatten superjail and start over, nearly 1/3 of my cities buildings are abandoned due to commute time despite being either 2 blocks away from medium density business or the freeway. I dont get it D: [editline]8th February 2013[/editline] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vYXnPPZ.png[/IMG] God damn it[/QUOTE] Commute isn't only distance but congestion. Check traffic overlay.

Do any of you guys know of any RCI modifers? I reckon if somebody cheated to completely change commercial demand on a p. much global scale, we can find a way to turn it back to normal, although there's a good chance it might screw things up even more. Still, it's better than doing nothing about it. That said, a lot of people just cannot stand all the plugins that have been installed, so I'm going to start now and remove some of them. Currently on the chopping block are: EBLT (just has one new house lot, it's not even that much) LBT (tropical flora, but I don't think anyone ever used it so bye-bye) [u]either[/u] JRJ Concrete Walls [i]or[/i] Sunken Highway Walls PREGPROD Alley Kit GeoThermal Power Plant (let's be reasonable, this was basically a cheat mod to begin with) Electronic Toll Booth (half because I have no idea what this is) SimCity 4 Extra Cheats Tonkosmallstationthingy (no idea what this even is) If there are no objections to this by the time I get back home today, then these mods are going to go. Then, I'm going to enact some more rules and such. And if you messed with the demand charts and you do not confess and I find out about it, you're going to get banned from the collab indefinitely. No exceptions. No warnings.

Electronic toll booths are toll booths without the extra congestion; a cheat mod like the geothermal powerplant basically. Though still, it's impossible to play without the demands being fixed. Because as much as i love seeing rich dudes in my neighborhood filling up my taxes, it's beyond broken because they get no jobs.

I'll try my hardest to fix them when I come back. For now, though, I may ask that you don't play your cities and save them as that might just screw up your cities even more, but you have free will so do whatever you want.

Are we actualy sure the demands are broken? Fippe said it's working fine for him.

Aww don't take away the electronic toll booths, I mean, it's not like they don't exist in real life... [thumb]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7a/ERPBugis.JPG[/thumb]

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;39517149][u]either[/u] JRJ Concrete Walls [i]or[/i] Sunken Highway Walls [/QUOTE] I wouldn't remove these [url]http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/12982-sunken-higway-eye-candy-set/[/url] as they are the only good sunken walls I found, I didn't put the JRJ ones so I don't really know exactly much about them.

You definitely should get rid of the concrete walls, they clutter the transit menu way too much. The suburban bus stops should also go as they're just recolors/remodels of the normal bus stop, and we already got the bus stop/subway on road/avenue/street/etc.. You should get the Ninja Boulevard Station: [url]http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/3194-ninja-boulevard-station/[/url] It's a combination of passenger,freight trains,subway,bus and parking Or for a less cheaty lot, a combination of monorail, subway and bus [url]http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/3038-modern-monorailbussubway-station/[/url]

As much as the Geothermal plant is kinda bullshit because it's a coal plant with no pollution, I'm still using it in my city, removing it would make my city unplayable (IE crashing due to lack of a needed mod, not because I wouldn't be able to play it without the plant). About the only mods I'm using are transport mods, one of the new Marinas, the on-road bus stops, and the geothermal plant.

[QUOTE=DaCommie1;39517923]removing it would make my city unplayable (IE crashing due to lack of a needed mod, not because I wouldn't be able to play it without the plant)[/QUOTE] removing modded lots doesn't cause crashes, they just turn into boxes that do nothing also there seems to be no problem with the RCI after a bit of experimenting with Swebonny and Ratchet

I think we should be using vanilla sc4

[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;39518270]I think we should be using vanilla sc4[/QUOTE] You NEED NAM. The game is even more unplayable without it than it is now with demand being all fucked up.

I thought demand simply affected cities nextdoor, does it mess with the region?

[QUOTE=Ogris;39518455]You NEED NAM. The game is even more unplayable without it than it is now with demand being all fucked up.[/QUOTE] So why don't we cut the fat and just use NAM and other essentials like that?

I'm going to let you guys settle the whole plugins thing before I join in. Sounds like new cities get buttfucked at the start or something?

[QUOTE=Ogris;39518455]The game is even more unplayable without it than it is now with demand being all fucked up.[/QUOTE] it's not, refer below [QUOTE=Brt5470;39518657]I thought demand simply affected cities nextdoor, does it mess with the region?[/QUOTE] it does only affect cities next door, refer to following [QUOTE=Fippe;39518075]also there seems to be no problem with the RCI after a bit of experimenting with Swebonny and Ratchet[/QUOTE]

Wait, then which cities ARE afflicted by demand problems?

[QUOTE=Ogris;39518455]You NEED NAM. The game is even more unplayable without it than it is now with demand being all fucked up.[/QUOTE] What is NAM? I played SC4 for years, and never used mods. And I could play it perfectly fine.

[QUOTE=Uglynator;39521138]What is NAM? I played SC4 for years, and never used mods. And I could play it perfectly fine.[/QUOTE] Network Addon Mod. How could you play it perfectly fine? By default the traffic is an unrealisitic bumblefuck with nowhere near enough options.

NAM is like traffic how it's supposed to be Without it it's like real life traffic. So i guess it's more realistic without it, but a lot more annoying. I just love my sim driving for 1 block then cloning himself into another one!
