I would rather work on one large city with a few outside squares or "suburbs".

suggestion find a map on st you like create a folder for it create your own index.bmp file that a couple pixels by a couple pixels

1 small region is 1 pixel red
medium 2x2 pixels green
large 4x4 pixels blue

and you can actually come back and ad onto it on the bottom and to the right on your maps thats what i have done with mine witch originally was the London map...

I got Sim City 4 on Deluxe for about $15 on Amazon. If you have a Mac it's like $53 though.

If you're on Sim City 3000 it's a big jump to get into the new 3d 'ish graphics you'll love getting Sim City 4 especially with all the cool downloads you can get off simcity it's a million times better than ALL the previous simcity games!

I can't live without cheat: youdon'tdeserveit and I can't live without the park (downloaded from Simtropolis) Simolean Trees, one of them which gives you WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY (basically infinite) per month. =)

I bought it for my laptop. I made sure to buy a really good laptop just so it would run sim city 4.

3000 bucks over a game, thats how awesome it is.

SimCity 4 is a great game (for those interested in urban sim games) and is the best one on the market.

I haven't gotten tired of playing it and I bought it when it first came out.

i had to beg my parents for it when it came out took 6months lol... back when i had a 300mmhz underclocked to 266 cause it was undstable at 300mhz and it had 64megs of ram runing win xp.. with a 16meg voodoo2 video card lol sc4 ran but it laged like crazy but it ran

so my dad started brining home number 4 teck cable so i sat there every night and striped all the insulation off and took it in once a week till i had enuff money to buy parts to build a new system took a month built it used it for a while maxed it out then sence then i have spent much money on my computer... just keep trading up for better hardware with my friend lol

I was so addicted to this game about a year ago, its so awesome and I would spend hours and hours perfecting my cities, i used cheats and plopped all the buildings individually as the game really isnt realistic when you just let stuff grow. I downloaded like everything possible from simtropolis. I got so frustrated with it though because it would take about 10 minutes to start up on my computer and then it would usually crash my computer about 3 or 4 times while playing it so i just stopped. Once I get a new computer that has more room on it then ill start playing it again, man my cities were awesome! haha I miss the game!
