Could someone please draw some highways and roads onto this picture using MSpaint? I am happy with my boring boxy residential commercial area but I just don't know how to connect it and am willing to bulldoze/relocate all of the industrial and existing highways. Ever since I tore out the original highway connection and made my own my pop has been dropping off. Yes I am this bad.

Maximum Planck posted:I spent a couple of hours tinkering with color correction tables. These are more or less for screenshots, unless you're like me and enjoy playing the game with absurd colors. Man I really like the hellscape color set. What sort of adjustment stack did you use to get that? Gradient map? I've also just gotten into making LUTs. Ever play Cities... ON ACID?

RainbowCake posted:So I've run into a problem. Houses grow from "Remedial" to "highly educated" over time, they start low (not sure if it's the lowest or not but freshly built residential zones always show up red for me and turn blue over a few years) so if you've got a problem with not enough educated Cims its because you need to let them marinate near a school. Also, 1x1 houses only? In my experience those are horrid and I've only seen level 5 high density homes have more than a single family in a 1x1 house. Anyways if you need a stopgap just for your Cims to work, you could always make farming or forestry industry districts. They're heavy on uneducated labor and don't upgrade so you don't suddenly have piles of businesses that need smarter people to work.

I think after I finish this month's music commission I'll be putting out some more buildings for this game. Without the stress of having to do 15 songs (!) in a month, I'll be able to actually work on adding some more unique growables without the stress. Because my mods for this game are significantly more popular than my actual games Noyemi K fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Mar 21, 2015 |

zedprime posted:Dont think of demand as "my city needs this to thrive". It is closer to entrepreneurial interest from idiotic captains of industry with no regard to what the city actually needs as much as a short sighted view that they can turn a quick buck without regard of how they fit into a longer term market. I like this I had to turn unlimited money on anyway since this crap city bleeds money like a hemorrhaging whale, so... WithoutTheFezOn posted:Take a look at the struggling businesses and see what type of educated worker they want. Then make sure you have enough of that type of school. Typically they only need educated and well educated, my elementary and high school coverage is good. I don't have university (or offices) unlocked yet because holy gently caress this population growth is slow. As Alkydere said, each house only holds 1 family, it's painful. I never realised how much of a challenge this would be. Alkydere posted:Also, 1x1 houses only? In my experience those are horrid They're also adorable

If I unlock Unique Buildings in a different save/map, will it retroactively be activated in a current map/save or will it only be unlocked for new maps?

Sankis posted:There should be some policies, a 'retirement community' or something, that attracts all the old people so I can get all those half dead fucks out of my city where I can properly dispose of them. I have my fingers crossed for modders or the devs to introduce more unique districts or controllable regions. Retirement communities. University campuses. High and low income residential. Red light district commercial. It's nice being ~1 week into a game's launch and being hopeful about cool additions, and not wondering when the first set of bug-fixes will be ready.

Well I learned today that a 140,000 pop ultra-happy 99% highly educated city cannot be nudged into a high crime rate for building unlocking purposes, the prissy fucks would rather just die or move out than turn to a life of crime. It seems I will have to establish a new lovely city of criminals for this purpose. I will call it.. Crime City, where criminals can flock to do crimes in peace

It will be unlocked on all maps/saves. Also drat, the OP. I laughed a solid minute at the City of Wonders video and the picture collection killed me completely. Speaking of pictures: The first person camera mod allows you to adjust FoV for extra camera control. It can also do this somehow The No Pillar mod can do amazing stuff too Intersections with trains >> Intersections without trains. Therefore I win. My city shits art: Didn't even need a mod for it.

Just finished my map of Lowell. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=411145090 Only drag? Couldn't fit a shipping lane in the Merrimack, it's too narrow. Alas. However, I was able to fully construct this monstrosity to about its actual scale. Every movement from MA 110, US 3, Lowell Connector, and I-495 is possible, complete with the collector/distributor. kefkafloyd fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Mar 21, 2015 |

I have a landfill that, once full, I hit "empty" but it keeps fluctuating between 99 and 100% full. Is it glitched or is something wrong? I have another next to it but it's not moving from one to the other it's at a terrible intersection that I cant repave because I cant get rid of that stupid landfill
