SCS fan rollcall

[Zebediah]

Thanks! You guys have already been pretty helpful, even without me having to ask anything - most of my questions are answered in the mod guide and the various FAQs.

Only question I have at the moment is where you'd recommend me posting my SCSpack files, since file uploading seems to be disabled at the moment.

Here's a preview of what I've done:


I still have a few details to finalize, but it's getting there.

Looks nice.

For file hosting, http://www.megaupload.com/ is free.

Do you go with a particular city style or do you experiment with different things each time?

Welcome to the forums, by the way.

I don't really see the point of sticking to a particular style since you end up with mixed properties anyway. Also economy wise it's not always feasible.

I'm experimenting mostly to find a nice combination of layout and positioning to start a city with, to get the max value out of the building/venues/decorations.

Right now i'm trying to find a layout for roads and buildings without having any road intersections. Inspired by this thread.
From that thread i understood that the problem with double-lane roads are the intersections where cars has to stop. So i'm trying now to figure out or without any intersections this still causes traffic jams.

that looks real pretty. I still haven't played in forever, I think I have even forgotten how to.

I'm not sure I follow you here -
By style do you mean societal filter?
I've almost always used a filter when making a particular city, to me its part of the challenge... making it work with buildings only available in that filter.

Or by style do you mean something else?

I am here :d

[Simmetry]

Here, just been busy. I'll post some screenies in the "Post 'em here!" thread to prove that I am in fact playing and enjoying SCS.

Whoops! I guess I'll post the screenies once I can upload them!

Anyone still interested in modding?

[R8-Q88]

I am, I'm working on an audio mod for Destinations. What it is is a secret.

[Azeem]

Good to know someone is still around.

[Azeem]

I've installed SCS on my new laptop and it looks (and runs) absolutely amazing. When I get graphics editing programs back up, then I'll try to get the Korean themed retextures that I started last month; just got back to the US and am still readjusting.

Hello fellow players! I'm here too !
Checking the forum from time to time but not posting..
Still playing the game though

[Sandra Linkletter]

I just finished re-installing SCS on my latest computer, which I bought for myself this last Winter Solstice. I had not played it for a few years and could not locate my manual for the install code. I had to buy a used copy for $4.60 (including shipping) in order to re-install the game.

The game runs great on this new computer. I still had all of my downloaded mods from 2008, which was a good thing since almost all of the mods online have disappeared for one reason or another.

I never will own Destinations because it is only available from an online service. I don't mind that lack. I do mind that every game published these days has the same problem, even the ones I could buy on CD/DVD for a not inconsiderable price. But that is an issue for a different thread.

Some of the mod attachment files are available from the forum again as of a couple weeks ago or so. You may want to check some of the posts that have these attachments again.

If I recall correctly, the "SimCity Box" CD/DVD collection includes SCS Destinations as well as a copy of SC4 Deluxe.

Thanks for that information. I will do that.

Do you know if the copy of Destinations in that box require the installation of Steam or some other online gaming service?

[Azeem]

No. It should also include regular SCS with Patch5 as well.

[Sandra Linkletter]

Great! I'll order it right away. Although I could wish I had not already spent $4.60 to get the new copy of the SCS manual ...

[Sandra Linkletter]

After having been thwarted of buying a used copy for $8.00, I found one for $14.00 and got that one. SimCity 4 seems a little frenetic. SnapCity is just plain funny. Destinations is what I will be concentrating upon, it seems. Which is good, since I bought the set for that add-on. *chuckle* Thanks again for the advice.
