Anybody who wants to play SimCity 4 MP - Page 12

Have you copied the downloaded cities to the Downloaded folder?

Maybe they got deleted when you reinstalled?

General Ludd · February 22, 2003, 09:15

I put the files in the san fransisco folder and they showed up in the download folder when importing. Now that it's using them for the region I just copy them straight in there and overwrite the old ones.

Be sure to put it in the C:/mydocuments/simcity 4 folders, it's not in the same directory that the game is in.

Hey, that's an interesting snippet of information. I never knew that, and every time I downloaded a new version of someone's city, I always went through the "Import city" menu. But your method is surely much faster.

Thanks.

Tass, like the folks above said, there are two distinct Downloads folders - one in the game installation directory, and the other in your my documents \ simcity 4 forlder. you need to put the files in the latter.

I have now uploaded JohnSjVille:

(Will edit my first post, with all the links...)

Now Tassadar is the only one missing

Btw, which spot have you chosen?

vovan · February 22, 2003, 13:46

IIRC, he chose the one to the east of Osweld... With access both to Vovanburg, and Elipolis...

Is it downloaded or downloads?

Nubclear · February 22, 2003, 17:32

Construction on the city of Tassagrad has begun!!!

vovan · February 22, 2003, 17:38

Great.

Remember to watch for the date. You got two years.

NewB question:

I understand the RCI concept, however I'm not understanding this:

My RCI indicator (expanded) says thers a high demand for Residential $, $$, and even $$$. I understand that. However, it also says there is a high demand for CS$, a low demand for CS$$, negative demand for CS$$$, moderate demand for CO$$ and moderatoe demand for CO$$$. Whats the difference between CS and CO?

Then it also says there is extremly high demand for I--AG, extremly negative for ID, IM, and IHT. What are these?

vovan · February 22, 2003, 19:04

CO = commercial offices
CS = commerical... something (I don't remember

)

I-AG = agriculture
I-D = Dirty Industry
I-M = Manufacturing Industry
I-HT = High-Tech Industry

Tassadar:

Remember that when having posted your turn, you need to post your stats (how much Res you have, how much com you have, and how much ind you have)...

Maquiladora · February 23, 2003, 07:22

I dont suppose i can still join can i? Just got the game yesterday

Adagio · February 23, 2003, 09:57

There's still room, just make sure to pick a place (link in first post... haven't edited Tassadars place in yet, but will do that in a few minutes...

Adagio · February 23, 2003, 10:05

Picture updated...

Remember to read the rules before starting...

I will edit my first post, to put in all rules...

Maquiladora · February 23, 2003, 11:16

Okay how about here...

Adagio · February 23, 2003, 11:41

No problem there...

Maquiladora · February 23, 2003, 12:11

BTW whats the deal with the patch, do any of you have it installed? I installed it already but if its gonna cause trouble i can reinstall the game without the patch.

Eli · February 23, 2003, 12:20

I dont have the patch.

Adagio · February 23, 2003, 12:48

I haven't installed the patch, but my game acts like I have the patch installed... strange... but I don't think it'll cause any trouble if some are playing with the patch, and others don't have the patch...

vovan · February 23, 2003, 12:54

Nope, I don't think the patch will cause any problems, as it doesn't deal with neighbor connections or deals.

Oh, and welcome to our game, Maq.

Maquiladora · February 23, 2003, 13:19

Well i downloaded all the cities (except Tass') and imported them, they all loaded and worked, except that Osweld's city asked to reconcile the borders when i loaded it after importing all cities.

My biggest pop so far is only 15,000, this should be interesting

Adagio · February 23, 2003, 13:43

My biggest pop is only 24,000 so not that much more

vovan · February 23, 2003, 13:46

My biggest population so far is a little over 100K.

Adagio · February 23, 2003, 14:14

Region or city? Mine was for city...

vovan · February 23, 2003, 14:16

City. My region so far has about 300k people in it.

Adagio · February 23, 2003, 15:00

Nice... my region has... let me count... 40,000 sims in it

Industry becomes all messed up (You have to have a road next to EVERY industry tile.). Total game killer.

Maquiladora · February 23, 2003, 17:21

I installed the patch and i dont have that problem

I layed a large chunk of industry with road outside and industry preferred to grow next to the road first but then it grew inside eventually.

Adagio · February 24, 2003, 07:58

You're lucky then...

Btw: You need to play your turn ASAP, since it's now about a week, since we (the other players

) have played a turn...
