Speaking of which, I just reinstalled Simcity 4 as well. This is my first city After nearly 8 hours of gameplay. I finally manage to get $2k surplus income. Now I'm gonna start a 2nd city to outsource my dirty industries. |

Re: I knew it... EA Ruins new Sim City 'Reboot' Always online DRM down!
I have heard this game is ridiculously expensive, someone i know from England told me he paid between 70 and 80 pounds for it, could this be true? And if so, then why on earth is it so expensive?

It's worst than online DRM, it's worst. SC4 is not only a better simulator, with community efforts like the NAM, it's far superior.
http://www.simtropolis.com/news/_/si...escalates-r432 Wowsers Kakero, your pic reminded me why I love SC4 mods so much. More curves, less grids! And the least amount of identical buildings possible!

One of the lessor known mod exchanges is the PLEX. If you check it out, be sure to download the Area 52 building for some funny sci-fi easter eggs.

(This is for XP, but it seems to work with Win7) Sim City 4 Win XP fix: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C START "Simcity 4" /high /affinity 1 "C:\games\simcity4\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1200x32 (no word wrap) I may render out some of my buildings for my 3D City and put them in the game.. I did that log ago with 7/11's, Mc Donalds, Taco Bell and more.. hehe.. since the NEW Sim City won't allow this modding I'm sure, its dead on release. (quite literally). So back to an old favorite..

The STEX has a new launch utility in just the last few weeks, which auto-detects WS resolution and some other start-up tweaks. Works great using Vista.
