Thanks for posting this fantastic tutorial. SimCity 4 is truly one of the most underrated games of all time, and the mods look like they make the game even better than ever. Really wish I had more time to pick up the game again but in the meantime I'll be looking forward to the rest of this series (hopefully you're planning on continuing!)

Yeah, I do. Part 2 is out, but that will be all for maybe a week or so.

Simcity 4 is pretty sweet, I totally forgot how awesome it was.

Thanks for posting this, Simcity 4 is 70% off on steam and I'm planning on using this guide to get myself started. Remembered this guide from a while back and wanted to bump it in case anyone else is in the same situation as me.

Good tutorial........made me realize what I was doing wrong in SC4........(only just started using SC4 Deluxe)..........
I wasn't thinking on a large enough scale, and every part of the region doesn't have to contain a fully developed city.

I tried this tutorial in my own game and came up with a few anomalies........ demolishing your only elementary school and putting in a private school is a BAD idea, as you've got no way of locally controlling education budgets, and who knows what them guys are teaching your kids ????

Also, setting the dirty industry tax rate to 20% without decreasing the other taxes seemed to slow my game to a halt.....
I eventually got demand back by lowering every other tax by 1%..... (I figured that if the dirty taxes were raised by 11%, the other 11 tax bands could be lowered by 1%.......seems logical, but I'm not making a great deal of money, although I've just got into the black after 30 years of penny-pinching !

The 6X6 zones didn't make sense to me at first, as I thought that real life cities are rarely based on a square grid layout, but I've got to admit, it looks more natural than any other attempt I've made before.The killer tip for me was having the houses face the street rather than the road...... I could have played this for 50 years and not thought of that !!!!

Nice one, guy !!....... thanks for your tutorial ...... very informative, and useful. :-)
