Is oldshoe's modpack from '14 for SC4 viable? I've read it has bunch of mods that are exclusive to each other

[Anonymous No.5136027]

>>5136014
We should test them out, I have no experience with SC4 mods. Always wanted to mod that game, it's the most complete Sim City, even if the earlier games are more charming.

I wish SC3K had a designated agricultural zone, it had really comfy farms but they were prone to developing into other bullshit if you didn't keep their strict requirements. Or you could mark every single square historical, but that's far too tedious for more than a couple of plots.

It was the prior version that had compatibility issues. The '14 pack is fine, after OldShoe was noted about the issues with it. However, there are a lot of packs in circulation labelled as OldShoe's, so your safe bet is getting those that are clearly marked as the '14 version or taken from his own page

Sim City 4 is more realistic than SC3K, especially in that driveways connect to the road. Aside from that, it's on a much larger scale, since you can build many cities in a region and connect them, allowing you to simulate larger areas than just a single city. I liked it because building a regional highway system was rewarding, especially when looking at it on the region view.

Sim City 4 is the last good Sim City game. After Sim City 4 Rush Hour came out, there were no good city building games for almost 10 years.

Hello it's me, Oldshoes.

The modpack is self contained, nothing too wild, lots of stuff that looks vanilla, lots of details, growables.

SC3KU and SC4 are the goats. I find 3K better for more "casual" plays where I can make a city in a day or two and be done with it, where SC4 regions can take weeks spent detailing.

Got some progress done for my indoor LIM coaster in my Woodstock park. Toke some inspiration from Disney Paris' Space Mountain with the cannon like tube and having it go on the moon, but I thought of instead of being completely in the dark, it's under this glass roof.

Anyone else know this feel? I used to love going to them. I semi-enjoy going to Drievliet, Duinrell, and Efteling, but I hate the fuckhueg crowds (and my family) and feel I'm getting to old for them (and I'm in my early twenties).

Worst part is that the Six Flags Holland map is more fun-looking than the actual fucking real-life park.

I'm so sorry that those parks have given you that kind of feeling. I'm sure there are better experiences to be had than the ones you've been too. The only time I'll wait an hour for a rollercoaster is if it's fucking Steel Vengeance or some shit.

[Anonymous No.5137839]

How were they that long? I recently went to Disney World at Florida last week and Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, Test Track (especially for single riders), Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Rock and Roller Coaster, and Expedition Everest were under one hour most of the times for me. It was the Seven Dwarves Mine, Pandora attractions, and the Slinky Rollercoaster that were constantly borderline over one hour.

Does it have to do with lesser optimization with ride capacity/efficiency?

Eh, it's just that the average age is a teenager and it makes me want to go back to those years, as I practically wasted them. Especially if they're on dates.

The biggest problem for me isn't even the wait times, it's the crowds. I'm not too comfortable with them, and I dislike going with my family as I come form white trash with zero sense of shame.

>>5137839
Probably just the demand because it's the county's "biggest and best" and thus everyone NEEDS to go into them at least thrice or some shit. I just hate the waiting in fuckhueg lines, especially when I compare the actual time the fucking rides take (looking at you Goliath, you too Condor).
They didn't take an exact hour (usually), but the wait time usually says 1 to 1.5 hours, and but it averaged about 45 minutes. I know the times are inflated, but when I'm there for about 6 to 7 hours I'd like to do more then spend only 20 minutes in rides and 6 hours waiting in lines.

On a positive note: I loved Movie Park Germany when I was last there in 2012. We went there in the early spring, so it was reasonably empty.

[Anonymous No.5137870]

Go on the school days / off-peak season. At some UK parks you have zero wait so you can ride the top rides over and over in a row. The wait times on some of these can exceed 2hrs normally.

2 and it's not even a question.

[Anonymous No.5140546]

>>5138330
No idea. I think it's simply because it works and there is no real reason to NOT build grid, while in the same time I don't exactly see the benefit of doing it in other shapes than the easiest one. Then comes the fact my neighbourhood is all of irregular shapes, one-way lines and it looks nice on paper, but is horrible to drive through or even walk through in certain parts of it due to aesthetics taking precedense over functionality.

>>5139038
I just build a regular grid instead. Can't fit due to terrain? Simply not building there. Besides, irregularities look even worse than just standard grid

This is totally down to the practice and many being total shit at that part.

But go to a lab tech operation or a vet and you'll be in and out in pretty short order. I'm guessing your example is for an incorporated hospital, though.

Not the other guy, but i hate (most) doctors because they are more often than not arrogant and will not take patients seriously, dismissing concerns and patient's intuition or knowledge. If you're relatively healthy you probably don't see this side of them, but i have an undiagnosed chronic illness that 20 doctors over 10 years have failed to properly investigate. It's not some "fibromyalgia" thing either, i've been in hospital multiple times with weird symptoms. The coolest docs (one or two) have shrugged and been honest with me about their limits, eg "we often don't have the answers" and "unfortunately we can't run those tests due to budget/whatever" but MOST doctors will just bluff away their lack of insight/knoweldge or lazy with "oh test x came back fine so you're probably fine" and "well do you eat healthy?".

I also have a skizo friend who has very obviously had mental health issues for years, and she was really upset when one doctor told her "i'll give you the pills, but i know you don't need them - you just need to get over it, okay?"

One doctor i saw actually got some kind of reprimand and couldn't practice for a while due to complaints, though he wasn't so much arrogant as just incredibly rude, called people fat, told them reading their medical history was a waste of time and shit like that.

Unrelated to the arrogance above, some are just clueless and don't give a fuck. A series of hospital docs years ago discharged me 3 times after being admitted and given IV hydration for 2 hours each time. It wasnt until my GP the next day and had to give me strong meds on the spot that he told me "GO BACK AND DON'T LET THEM DISCHARGE YOU" that i was firm with them. I had been vomiting blood and bile for 2 days and the hospital docs just didn't give a fuck. Ended up having to stay in hospital for 2 weeks and over the 3 week ordeal i lost 30% of my body mass.

I'm glad you are satisfied but doctors have very little to do with drug discovery though.

No one cries about their work as much as doctors, yet they have the audacity to demand respect for the shit service they provide.

By far the simplest thing I can suggest is to read through the written Let's Play of SC3K that was done by "The Deadly Hume" from Something Awful years ago, he's pretty obviously a top tier expert at the game and carefully explains the processes and everything he does while crafting this very nice and large city.

You need to build population, at a certain number demand shifts from industrial to commercial. Focus on building those residential zones and the commercial demand will come later.

Other general tips: Parks are good for raising land value locally, and airports raise commercial demand. Just keep them far away, the pollution is a drawback.

The GOG version works fine, I haven't gotten around to properly trying out the Steam version or the modern remake, my backlog is too big, but the old devs are around and kicking still if you want to give them your money and have a Steam version etc.

The game's a bit tricky to get into if you're flying completely blind, so if you want a mini guide on how to get a stable start going and where you should progress from there with general tips etc, I can absolutely do that for you.

From what I've tried of it, which wasn't for long as I don't have the time admittedly atm, it seemed like a faithful reconstruction of the original and the only thing that was missing was a pause button I could mouse click, instead of just a hotkey for it.

As for micromanagement, as long as you avoid the neediest of tenants and pre-empt their complaints by including every garden with two trees, a fence and whatever else that tenant type likes to whine about, then generally speaking the only complaints you get are the occasional "stop running that factory day and night!" or whatever.

It typically isn't a problem, at least where i've been. Usually they are designed to rest on the shoulders in a position that helps cushion any shaking, that or the head rest absorbs most of the movement. Revolution was once just lap restraints, and the headrests are flat and not comfortable, that mixed with how poorly attached the newer restraints were was a recipe for a noggin joggin.

Trying to get OpenTTD to run on my windows 98 CF-27 and I just can't make it past this screen. OpenGFX and SFX are in the right place, and if I copy it onto my windows 7 pc the game runs completely normally. It is the Windows 9X version so I don't know why it won't work. please help friends.

I will note other games like Diablo 2 run completely fine on it.

Hey I just started playing simcity 4 again after not playing since I was a kid. I can't figure out how to get the really massive skyscrapers to appear. I thought it had something to do with having multiple cities but it's not happening for me. Not sure why but I think this game is still better than Cities: Skylines as a game and simulation.

Place some high-density commercial or residential areas, give your citizens incentive to move/set up businesses there by building roads, hospitals, police/fire stations, schools, parks etc. and then just wait. Alternatively you can just choose which building gets built where via cheats but I forget how since it's been a while.

There was a great set of Simcity 4 guides by some guy who also liked to build some pretty impressive looking cities in Minecraft.

Also, Santa's Enchanted Forest is open in Miami. If you're down there be sure to pay a visit. The largest moveable wheel, and the best portable coaster in the U.S. is waiting for you as well. This is the first and only Huss Frisbee straight from Germany is there for the first time. The best rides in the U.S., and all on one ticket. It's the best thing in Florida south of Orlando. Tell them Walt sent you.

Failed it on my first try too. Basically, it's a lesson in building quickly and efficiently and taking advantage of the generous $50K loan bandwidth. Once you have the Vertical Drop Coaster researched, spam those with as many trains possible; great stats and you can charge a high price and pay off your loan to build more. Just keep building (and of course, run campaigns).

I know this isn't exactly the best thread to ask, but since the shill (actually done right shilling) and the experts are here, how are you guys finding parkitect? I kinda wanna buy it but I wanna know if the campaign fizzles out and just becomes repetitive. RCT and the like really are all about the scenarios for me, so how are they? The sandbox side seems to be all there on parkitect, though.

actually, when you dig deep into SC4 its a shitty pollution maintenance simulator where you either are forced to re-industrialize all your dirty I late game, never have dirty I and just go slow as fuck with commercial jobs only, or do some bullshit cross-region exploit.

If the game at least gave you a more economically viable clean energy option early game, this would be more forgiveable...but all I end up doing in the game every damn time is trying to speedrush education to unlock hightech industries ASAP, and then spending the next hour reversing all my environmental damage that I should be allowed to avoid in the first place with careful planning. /rant

is Parkitect allowed here?
I was wondering if anyone has played it since release; I tried it last autumn or so for a bit but it felt very unfinished and I was under the impression that it wasn't made to allow for the same "build rate" as RCT, it was almost impossible to make profit while building stuff, and the loans were kinda weird in that you had to manually pay back the loan
I've played it for some hours in campaign mode since release and besides all kinds of cute new things, the core problem is still there

am I just really bad at making money in this game or?
