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

[QUOTE=lekkimsm;39463744]I'm sorry to ask here, but since we don't really have a simcity 4 thread anywhere, i'd like to ask anyone in here if they know how to mod for SC4?[/QUOTE] Most of the time you just plop your mods into the Plugins folder and they're done. I can't think of any off the top of my head that require anything more, besides a few mods that have installers.

Like, a tiny toolshed modded to completely evaporate ANY polution, and things of that kind. I think they're called cheat mods really... :v:

I used to mod SC4, but any cheat mods you want likely already exist, just search about the [URL="http://community.simtropolis.com/files/"]Simtropolis Exchange[/URL].

[QUOTE=El Burro;39463941]I used to mod SC4, but any cheat mods you want likely already exist, just search about the [URL="http://community.simtropolis.com/files/"]Simtropolis Exchange[/URL].[/QUOTE] I am talking BAT-SHIT-IN-SANE mods that just does x100 times good things. Most of them i can find are not all that powerful enough in the end, they're really handy though, but just not all that powerful enough! Like, there was a mod i found once, which gave like, 8000 jobs, but it was fucking huge. So i tried my best in the Simcity lot editor thing, and i sized it down to a much handier, burgerjoint-sized place. 8000 jobs in a very handy size! But what i was imagining, was having something modded, a small sized objects, that would have crazy good benefits.

Figured out my issue. I guess I set my zones too far apart so they couldn't be assed to drive that far.

BabyMaker is now at 460,000 population I have 1.6million in funds. At 128,000 income, 114,000 expenses. I have nearly every gift outside of the spaceport and farmers market.

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;39462425]It doesn't seem to really... "crash," per se, for me. The game closes without warning, but then it comes right back up and the city is loaded. That is still really strange, but it still works so I guess it's ok? [editline]3rd February 2013[/editline] On it.[/QUOTE] it doesn't come back for me... the game just closes and stays closed

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;39462854]I would, but too many people already have them in their cities and I don't want to risk corruption.[/QUOTE] Is there a way we could bring the cost up then to balance them better?

[QUOTE=Neo Kabuto;39465476]Is there a way we could bring the cost up then to balance them better?[/QUOTE] Dunno. I don't mod the game.

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;39465535]Dunno. I don't mod the game.[/QUOTE] [del]I [i]thought[/i] it would be a simple change in the dat file, but it seems something got screwed up [i]before[/i] I even tried made the changes. It's complaining about a missing plugin pack and the geothermal stuff is all gone, but the files are still there and unmodified from the original versions. Is anyone else having an issue with them?[/del] EDIT: Dropbox was just being stupid and pretending my changes didn't happen. Now it's back to how it should be. Apparently it's not as simple an edit as it looks like.

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;39462507]Also I was thinking of getting rid of that huge Seaport mod? Rate [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/tick.png[/img] if you want it gone or [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/cross.png[/img] if you want to keep it. It's the one that is supposed to extend Seaport creation and has a whole bunch of buttons that clutters the menu. It is NOT the Garbage one, though. [editline]3rd February 2013[/editline] Yeah, we already have someone using a "less-than-legal" copy, and as far as I know his cities are still good. Just for the record or any mods that come this way, I am not recommending or suggesting people use an illegal copy, I'm just saying that it won't affect the collaboration in any way if they do. [editline]3rd February 2013[/editline] Also I'm going mod shopping. What kind of mods do you guys want?[/QUOTE] You're gonna blow my cover man!

How do I make high tech industry? That's what I-HT is right?

[QUOTE=legolover122;39466728]How do I make high tech industry? That's what I-HT is right?[/QUOTE] Exactly. High tech industry employs mostly medium and high wealth people, so you usually won't get much for a little while until those residences start popping up a little more. The industry itself is far more selective than manufacturing and dirty in terms of desirability and demand. High tech industry becomes more prevalent with time and education, though you'll get tons with just elementary schools. [editline]3rd February 2013[/editline] There's usually no reason to specifically seek out high tech industry, it'll literally appear on its own if your I zones are desirable enough.

Use high density. I found it comes a lot quicker with it and a good road system. Don't forget a port, or your industry will not grow anymore at a point. Can someone take a look at my Mountainton Commercial Basin and tell me what they thing? It's in the east.

Are there any mandatory mods? I know the first one they mandated the transport mod, and it's an incredibly useful mod.

All the mods that are mandated are in the Dropbox, so don't worry.

Can't wait to get started again, the first collab was where I made my first successful city (IE making more than $100/month and had a population over 25,000), and that was on a medium-sized plot.

Someone by the name of Andrew Henderson is deleting files from the dropbox.

[QUOTE=ChloeBlackSythe;39468374]Someone by the name of Andrew Henderson is deleting files from the dropbox.[/QUOTE] thats me but im not deleting anything? :/ [editline]4th February 2013[/editline] it seems that every time someone launches the game it deletes the file City - KawaiiPlains~.sc4., i just launched my game and checked and says i deleted it, weird

Might be the system then. Sorry. Didnt mean to accuse!

[QUOTE=HendoV2;39468617]thats me but im not deleting anything? :/ [editline]4th February 2013[/editline] it seems that every time someone launches the game it deletes the file City - KawaiiPlains~.sc4., i just launched my game and checked and says i deleted it, weird[/QUOTE] This isn't the first time this has happened either, I believe it also happened to Portsburgh, too, and it seems the only way to fix the problem is to delete the city entirely afaik.

i might need to delete ocean view and forest port they are bugged out :(, is there a way to remove them but keep the original land?

Port Bawbag is looking really nice, it's fantastically organic-looking.

Well my city, Loop River Island, off to a good start, but it's fluctuated between 130,000 and 150,000 population. The issue is there's no jobs, and I'm trying to get the city's main island as developed as possible before expanding out, and this requires skyscrapers to be built. The problem is, they're not building, and I've never understood how to encourage them to be built. Does anyone know a way to encourage skyscraper construction?

[QUOTE=ChloeBlackSythe;39468374]Someone by the name of Andrew Henderson is deleting files from the dropbox.[/QUOTE] it might be the squiggly line in the name, try removing that and see if it gets deleted anymore [editline]4th February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=legolover122;39463467][t]http://i.imgur.com/OSu5YGv.jpg[/t] WHY DOES THIS KEEP FUCKING HAPPENING THERES INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL ZONES, ALL LOW. YOU HAVE WATER AND POWER. WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO. BECAUSE I'M GETTING PISSED OFF. [editline]3rd February 2013[/editline] TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME [t]http://i.imgur.com/6RmMgCd.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/EMMtfGn.jpg[/t] MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU WILL GO TO FUCKING WORK.[/QUOTE] the commute was too long, you should've made that avenue into a highway

Go check out my city when you have the time, I wanna know if you guys think my green-belt idea will work. I'll try and get a screenie later.

sadly i had to nuke ocean view and forest port, but they will be reborn bigger and better

Highways look horrible in SC4, that's why I'm mostly not using them, they ruin the aspect of my city, even avenues are kinda ugly meaning that I can't have all my cool roads.

Im considering streaming the game on twitch sometime tonight. I'll be showing off how to start off a completly new city and turn it into a blooming metropolis in no time aswell give general tips to newbies. Would that intrest anyone?

So i take it nobody knows how to makes mods for SC4?
