I plopped down lots as if they were turds down a toilet, but your suburb really had a click in my creativity. My new city is now bustling very well and even has a HTI complex in it! One question only comes to mind here, but what do you do with the residents living on the other side of your workspace?

Do you expand to other cities and build there? Posted August 9, It's not working for me!!! AM i missing something that you have? How are all those trees poping up all over the city.

I even got a message that said Your residents want to move in but you don't have enough desirable zoning. What do I do there? Nevermind they started to grow but now they are complaining about commute times and most of my houses are abandonded now lol! Posted September 5, No matter what I do, I cannot get any houses to grow on those 1x1 parcels.

I don't understand why the game is refusing to build on 1x1 parcels!

Everything is zoned low density except for medium density industrial. Posted October 15, Posted November 13, Posted March 10, Posted March 22, About the 1x1 houses. There is a population min that must be reached I've read sims before the 1x1 lots will be used.

Basically, to jump start the process, you need a few 1x2 lots to start off with. If you build a lot of comunities, you will end up with enough 1x2 lots, and then it just jumps - OR, you can build a line or two of 1x2 lots. I don't know if this causes problems later on with wealthy residential though - you may have to dezone the 1x2 lots. Posted March 23, I found that the silly sims get confused by the avenues going off the map and can't find a route back home.

I simple solution I used - which may be bad for commute time it adds a stop is to put a road on all the avenue end points, allowing the sims to make a u-turn. Puts in a stop light and allows a u-turn.

Posted March 27, I'm always good until I start having to make the separate high-tech cities and the "Gridburg" city. My suburb is over 30, sims, and my power city has 10, jobs of dirty and manufacturing. I then add some high wealth and try to make the High Tech cities, they grow a decent size, but then gridburg only goes to sims. I dont get it. Posted March 30, Posted April 10, I would love to read the rest of this but I'm having problems going to page two and three.

How did you get your land so flat with all those cliffs in suburbia? As well as all the little maps to the east of there.

The cliffs were probably terraformed using single road tiles — something like this. Posted July 27, Okay I've done everything you said and got to 16K but no more houses will develop 1x1 anyways and I don't have any I-HT demand.

I just get sassy depending on the level of their passive aggression. What people expect when they "complain" is something reminiscent of a customer sales person with the attitude the customer is always right whereas i opt for the direct approach of shutting down bs.

Why can't I make money in my cities? : simcity4

I help those who bother giving detailed accounts of what's wrong. Mixed-Use Sub-Buildings Adder Mod? As it stands with RICO, buildings need sub-buildings in order to make them mixed-use. This makes it difficult to convert existing buildings into mixed use, as they involve meshes and etc.

Why not have a mod that allows users to "add" sub-buildings that serve different functions -- offices, commercial, residential, parks, etc? Could function similar to RICO Settings Panel, where the user simply adds whatever number of sub-buildings they want for a particular asset and choose what stats they want for it.

How realistic are the prospects of such a mod being able to be made easily? I feel your pain. I get the same thing with the depot. I don't know how to respond sometimes.

So you are welcome. I need to do some experimentation to see if lights would work well in smaller spaces. However, some of the smaller lots may not get them. The remainder of the gas stations may possibly receive lighting at least to the island pumps if I can make it work.
