Take a bow you mod creators, this is insane !!

Take a bow you mod creators, this is insane !!

You folks have been hard at work creating these buildings ! Over and above Simtropolis, stumbled upon some Japanese and South Korean forums. Oh my word, some of the work here is beautiful.

Some screen shots for your viewing pleasure.

PS : Please do suggest other secretive treasure troves of buildings !

Oh, just the joy (except RTMT) !!

Hello,

Got this game back up and running on Linux. This is my 1st city after a few years, almost 400k. The music seems so good to listen after so long.

Still cannot make RTMT work, see brown boxes

Edit : Got RTMT to work. Spent good 2 hours going plugin by plugin, it was seriously amazing to see how much stuff you all have created in the past 23 years . Thanks!

Few questions on gameplay

Hello,

Playing Simcity 4 on Steam on Cachyos. A few questions :

  1. I for my life cannot get RTMT to work. I tried 3.5 and 3.6. Unsure how do i run the .exe files for Cachyos. Do you folks know of any other mode that is Road top ? Need a subway and bus
  2. On CAM : how long do buildings take to go to Level 15. Is there an inherent time-limit for game time?
  3. Any links for ICR specific CAMeLots ? I think there was an article somewhere, i cannot find it
  4. In the extended DLL query, my building level is not defined. Am I doing something wrong?
  5. How do you activate the high-capacity schools and hospitals? I could before, now on this version of CachyOS , I must be missing a step

Observations about a tank full of gas

Hello,

Happy owner of a 2024 Sienna. I have a few observations about the car. I am hoping others can tell me is something is wrong.

  • Previously, especially during summers, a tank full of gas would show like 600-610 miles of range and 540-550 range during winters
  • Over the past year for me, the range shown of the full tank of gas is always 540-550, irrespective of the weather
  • My tire changes have nothing to do with this.The problem with the lower mileage on a full-tank of gas is from before i got newer tires
  • I tried filling up at different gas stations, to make sure that it is not a pump issue. I try and force fill 3-4 times after the 1st automatic stop (maybe get a gallon additional ). Still have not seen the mileage of a full-tank of gas go higher than 560
  • Is this something to be worried about
  • I did the normal maintenance checks with the Toyota dealership, They said the engine passed all the checks. None of the warning lights show-up on the dashboard.
  • Additionally, since about a year, the engine sounds different. Again, the dealership said passed all checks, however, I swear the noise is different. I am not sure how do i describe it
  • I do not know if the engine noise and the lower mileage are connected/ correlated

Trying to see if someone else has observed something like this. Thanks for an guidance/ pointers.

Questions about the gameplay

Hello,

I keep coming back to Simcity4 every few years, always amazed by the evolution of the mods. Have a few questions about the new gameplay:

  1. For CAM, is there a query tool that tells me what level is the current building?
  2. How do i download more buildings that are CAM friendly?
  3. For CAM, is there an option to decide the speed at which the skyscrapers show-up? Remember the version few years ago did that. IS there any way to alter the CAM speed live during gameplay?
  4. Is there a Road Top Subway that works ? I found a road top bus stop, however, the Subway is giving me brown boxes (that mod could not be downloaded by sc4pac) ?
  5. I have not done the DirectX wrapper with DGvoodoo2 . Is it necessary?Am i leaving performance on the table?
  6. Use the modern camera tool for WASD movement. However, I could not find the continuous rotation like the Z and X keys in Skylines. Is there a mod for that ?

Thank for all the help. Amazing how good a 25 year old game still runs courtesy all the mods !!

How to change resolution on Cachyos

Hello,

Running Simcity 4 on Steam on Cachyos. I downloaded SC4Pac and added the Graphics Options dll. The explanation on the Simtropolis page says that it cannot the resolution using this dll. Anyhow, I did update the ini file to show 1920 x 1200. However, still get the smaller resolution. Any ideas on how to change the resolution?
