i reserved it today you ************ing *************** son of a bitch!!! hehehe imtheruler!! gogogogogogo drrrrruuuunnkklk!!!! vodka ruuuuullllz
      I just got SimCity 4 from the store today (along with the bonus transportation CD and the official strategy guide).       I have yet to install the game on my PC (since I just got home), but hope to do so pretty soon. -G
      The guy behind the counter at the Electronics Boutique I bought the game from said that since other stores were breaking the official "street date" (which is either tomorrow or Wednesday) and selling the game early, that his store decided to sell it early as well (as of last Friday). -G
they lied!! the store that I reserved the game said it would be out today but now they say tommorow!! they tricked me!! so, how's the game? much better than 3000?
I went and bought the game. More complex than the earlier versions. I wonder if there are any cheats so I can get unlimited money?
yes lots lots more complicated and challenging. while people are fighting about xbox vs ps2, i can live with this game for next at least two months. i don't know if there is a cheat for unlimited cash but you can try "weaknesspays." you'll get $1000 each time you type this in the cheat code dialog.
Thanks for that cheat. I like to build big and some days I don't like to wait for the city to develop. My first city got to about 18K before I ran out of money. Then I destroyed it for fun.
      The first Landmark for SimCity 4 (The Globe Arena in Stockholm) is ready for download from here. -G
i'm having extremely choppy video during the game. my pc has 256mb and 32mb supported direct3d video card and directx 7 compatible. in the worst case it runs out of memory!! does anyone have serious video issue with choppy graphics?
      My PC has 512mb and a 128mb GeForce4 ti4600 card and DirectX 9 compatible, and the video during the game seems to run pretty smoothly. -G
Probably this is the thing that I need. but the issue is if I have to get one of these I probably need to upgrade my motherboard that is compatible with all other components. i gotta check my motherboard first to make sure and next i'm gonna check if the problem is really from the video card since the box says minimum is only 16mb and recommended is 32mb and mine satisfies this.... sigh.
ok i found my motherboard does not need to be upgraded which is good but i guess i need to upgrade my video card which is bad. goforce4 is a bit expensive. i'll probably go with radeon 9000. still costs me $130 but though. does anyone use video card cheaper than radeon 9000 and have no problem playing simcity4?
I am utterly addicted. Trouble is, I run out of money so fast. In Simcity 2000, you could just take out loans, build a huge infrastructure, and let them come. I could get a huge, safe, well-educated city in just a few hours. Doesn't work here -- this is far too realistic! I'm struggling to find the optimal tax rates, and my citizens are dumb as rocks. Performance on my comp (1.8, Radeon 8500, 512 meg) is fine at 800 x 600, but chops like a mutha any higher than that.
I have a 1.6, GeForce 2, 512 meg and it's getting choppy as hell and if I zoom out it crashes. I've pretty much filled one of the squares in a region but my population is only around 22,000. Otherwise really fun though. I must admit that I downloaded a money trainer and cheated but my city looks great. The only big problem that I'm running into is traffic. Some subway stops are overflowing which is a problem that I have no idea how to solve.
