@Aginor I feel ya on both, Sim City taught me to build for stats not for beauty. When I discovered the SC4 online community I was stunned by what people were doing, and yes the maps could totally stand to be bigger.
Still it’s a dang pretty game…
I have the game, haven’t really played recently but I definitely had a lot of fun with it. The traffic is beyond frustrating. I’ve gotten reasonably good at planning new areas to account for it but there’s definitely some parts in the older areas of my city that are just terrible.
I’ll see about posting some screens of my city this weekend but for now there’s this:
The problem I find is you are constantly having to tear down old parts of the city to build more efficient ones if you want things to keep working smoothly. I mean I’m not very good at the game but that’s what I’ve seen and experienced. And it gets expensive.

I bought both of the other DLCs and still haven’t played more than an hour with them…
Yah that’s one of my biggest issues. I build a really nice looking part of the city and a few weeks later in game time I have to drastically alter it just to keep the city afloat. Its one reasons why I hate round abouts, because the big ones you can’t zone around and they just look terrible…
You guys do that? At worst I knock down a few houses for a bypass. I almost never knock down whole parts of town… It’s an organic thing and needs to grow to it’s constraints and I will have to work around where those people live!
Tunnels, bridges, trains and metro can all be used to alleviate traffic problems!

I don’t think you understand my facination for dams and the effects their nullification has on local infrastructure and living quality. Especially when that dam was pivitol in holding back a significant amount of what pretty much resembles the monthly fecal matter deposits by said local infrastructure.
Or put it another way, I bring the mud back into mudspikecity.

Wheres the dislike button lol?
So I probably should have downloaded something that turned it in to a desert biome, but here’s another map I did today, its inspired by the area around Iquique Chile. During the Top Gear Bolivia Special they ended the episode in that area (giant sand dunes sloping down to the sea)

The Mass Transit expansion is out today:
This one is unfortunately in my deep box of neglected toys.

Same here. Haven’t played in months and still almost jumped on that addon. Ferries and trains and stuff could really help solving some problems.
