Omg...if I didn't have exams on Monday (and the SCII beta) I'd install this digital crack all over again.

I've yet to attain what I consider to be "the ultimate city." Good luck in our quest and please post more pics and tips as your city progresses =)

I got really tired very quickly of having to constantly micromanage all my public services so they weren't wasting money by overproviding. Never got nearly the amount of playtime that Simcity and Simcity2000 did, way back when.

Oh god, sim city 2000 was the best game ever. As a child, sim city 2000 and civilization 2 taught me more things about the world than school did. My teachers were always surprised at how much I knew (which were facts and stuff memorized from playing so many games) haha.

Looks interesting. But maybe it's better to have it on a bigger map to begin with...

Maybe you can post some screenshots on traffic volumes and directions. I have a feeling that most of your residents are not using public transportation. Some other graphs such as population distribution also helps.

Also, did you use a cheat? Looks to me that you have a hydrogen power plant, but looking at the facilities and population that you have you shouldn't have this kind of power plant available yet....

Someone recently posted in the blog section the video of a guy who made the perfect city, took him like 6 years of planning, math work, etc.. the video is pretty nice,

Yea but Sim City 4 is a lot harder. And downloading mods to balance and fix some of the games annoying bugs is a must.

edit: Ive been playing this for a loooong time, never get bored of it. Always come back after awhile.

Was there ever a mod released that your money stayed with you when you switched between regions? Because that annoyed the hell out of me. Id build up a region, and had a tonne of cash, then move to the block of land next door and had to start with almost no cash again. This aspect ruined Simcity 4 for me as it felt like I was just playing the same game over and over rather than building one massive empire.

I had simcity on my first computer and played the hell out of it. I was terrible and never made money or anything, but I was addicted to it. I also later got 2000 for my SNES and played that a lot. Such fun games.
