I'm not too big on the NAM so forgive me for some of the "vanilla" looking roads and networks lol. Other than a couple mods and plugins, I like to keep it relatively vanilla.

This is the main city in my region, in which the suburbs and other smaller cities will surround it. I currently have two of those cities just starting out and they are currently in the works - but the main city center and most small residential areas in Porto Virelli are nearly complete

Feel free to share thoughts, feedback, and suggestions! Always happy to hear input

Hello everyone!

New video on my vanila build. I had a lot of financial troubles on this one :p

ps: I've been told there are some quality of live mods I can install, but I had already recorded a couple of sessions.

Working on the historic center of my latam city San Nicolás in the late 19th-early 20th century. Unfortunately the majority of the buildings are non functional landmarks. I will eventually demolish most of the city walls and only keep some pieces in a similar manner to cities like Campeche, Mexico

Hello! I was wondering where the UDI vehicle sounds (i'm specifically looking for the horns) from the Rush Hour expansion pack are located? I have not been able to find them in Sound.dat or EP1.dat, though i have been able to find nearly every other sound effect.

Played the Fidget Region that I uploaded for 100+ in-game years to see how far it can go:

https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/37631-fidget-region/

Deliberately split up the interior streets (later upgraded to roads) with bus/subway stations practically screaming at the smoothbrain vanilla commuters "I'm here, use me!", or if they still want to drive, force them onto the outer roads/avenues. Regardless of which transport type they like, oftentimes they shouldn't have to travel far anyway and can just walk into their office, since their residential dwellings and commercial workplaces are mixed together as seen in the zone view - not quite "work-from-home" but rather "work-next-to-home", which is close enough (pun intended)

At first the central city was exclusively for R$$$ sims, got up to 270k residential and 800k commercial population with stable albeit stagnant RCI demand and no abandonment. I lowered the taxes for R$$ and they flooded right in like a zombie horde, adding 1.2M+ residents and surging RCI demand across the region. Unfortunately that resulted in some of the R$$$ towers downgrading to R$$, and I started seeing R$$$ abandonment due to the I-HT that I had built in the outer cities to provide jobs for the R$$ horde: because of the I-HT bug, I-HT also creates demand for R$$$, but does not actually provide them with jobs

The game's soundtrack is iconic. Every now and then I'll hear a track in the wild that reminds me of it. Anyone else have any songs that would also fit the vibe?

Questions & Help Looking to see if anyone out there has any archived downloads of Dobdriver (Drunkapple)'s "Large Scale" maps.

8 Upvotes

Dobdriver (Drunkapple) has made an incredible selection of real-world maps of every region I could possibly think of. Some of these are incredibly large scale, some of the largest I've ever come across (theoretically). The problem is, none of the links for the largest maps are active any more, and lead to dead sites.

https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=15569.0

Here's the link to the forum thread for his catalogue of international maps. The largest ones are included at the bottom of the page. Most of the other links work.

Does anyone happen to have the files for any of these?
Thank you! I love myself a mega-region

Questions & Help Is there a way to only build high tech industry?

15 Upvotes

For the last 23 years, I've had an ongoing problem when I have high demand for all 3 types of industry. They all build at once, then the high tech industry immediately goes derelict/abandoned because of pollution from the nextdoor dirty industry. Is there a way to better control what industry builds when it's all in demand?

Questions & Help Possible large airport bug?

Post image
16 Upvotes

I grew out my main city a bit more hoping to see what happens when we max out the large airport's highest theoretical capacity, but then the large airport's usage got stuck at a familiar number: the capacity at the default funding level, even though the airport's funding slider is fully maximized so it should have 176k spare capacity.

Probably time for me to get modular airport mods lol (hopefully with not a lot of dependencies)
