Highways

[sam_lawrence]

In the SimCity4 videos i have seen at ign.com, i hear the SimCity developer talking about "Super Highways", does this mean there will be two or more varieties of highways? Like maybe a regular, ground level Highway, and a raised or Super Highway.
Well if anyone knows, please reply, ty. :)

NP Josh:p

Anyone knows a real quick way to get more money so I can upgrade and get SC4 asap????? This is a game for me...
:cool: :)

[ManagerJosh]

Ask people for donations perhaps?

[Helén]

lol Josh it was a joke...
I'm actually looking into the problem... but it will take some time. Unless i win on lotto of course.. hehe and what chances are they?? Maybe you have some of the winning numbers... (joke)

[sam_lawrence]

Maybe Josh should give away a copy of SC4 aswell as unleashed

[ManagerJosh]

Sure I could sam. Put it up on the auction block and I'll add you to our contributor list :)

[sam_lawrence]

What duties does a contributor take care of exactly?.....

[ManagerJosh]

nothing really. It just means you made a contribution to this site :)

[Helén]

But don't you have to be a US citizen??

[ManagerJosh]

Nope. People who have paypal could paypal money and I would be able to know where they are. In addition, people who also have VISA/MC could purchase something off the worldsims wishlist and I would also know.

So technically it wouldn't limit one to United States. Matter if you have the right resources and connections.

[LordBrain515]

Yeah, you need a credit card :(

[ManagerJosh]

Or a bank account :D

[Helén]

OK. just wondered... that contest of youurs states you have to be an US citizen.. or that's how I understood it. WasI wrong?

[Helén]

This is the "contest"I meant:

Announcement: Win A Prizes For Being An Active Member

[ManagerJosh]

Yeah, it is easier for me to host a contest here in the United States. As soon as I get enough staff that resides on Key Locations, such as the European Union, Asia, and Australia, I might hold a worldwide contest.

But at this time I don't have staff in the European Union or Asia so I figured I'd limit at this time to United States, and Canada.

[Helén]

I think you're doing the right thing too!!!
Promise i'll back you as much as I can. ;)

[ManagerJosh]

Thanks Nina :)

[Helén]

Your welcome Josh.:)
When do we take the next *chesslesson*? I'm getting way out of practise here.. ?? ;):knockedout::classic: *lol*

[ManagerJosh]

Hehehe, probably when I'm less busy. I still need to get this site ready for the new site upgrades.

[Helén]

Sure Josh.. I'm in no hurry at all.
Good luck with the upgrades! *hugs*

I always had a problem with SC3KU not using the highways. They were built correctly and put in heavy traffic locations. When I asked in sim chat, one of the mayors said they were aware of that problem.

I'm hoping SC4 will have this fixed.

I totally agree with Sam and Josh........the terrain options are outta this world, and the "My Sims" feature looks cool.

[Helén]

Yes. Besides Unleashed I want SC4. Badly!!!

[reniusa]

hmmm........wonder how much it will cost? I think SC3KU was about $50 USD........I hope SC4 will be much cheaper. If not I may have to save for a long time. :(

[Jake]

Nina, save cans for money ;)...and your pennies.. its as the saying goes: A penny saved is a penny earned!
I had someproblems with highways in SC2000, couldn't build on hills and across water.
I'm havin to save up for Deluxe.

[ManagerJosh]

I didn't have that much problems with SC3k...

[reniusa]

That was the only problem I had......I believe my city may have just gotten too large. :)

They are just so expensive (laying highways) that it was a big blow to only see a few people use them. Plus they kept screaming they were moving away cause of the traffic.

Who knows :D

[FaeLuna]

I think it was sim city 2000 that was the only version of that game I've played, but I couldn't figure out how to make the highways work in that at ALL. :p

[reniusa]

I have that, and played it long ago like 2 times, I downloaded the trial that is out there. (yes there was one and it was legal)

I then went out and bought SC3KU, but it was after that that I wanted the old SimTower, so I bought like a mega sim pack?

It had like SimCopter, SimIsle, Sim Safari, Streets of Sim City, and SimCity 2000.

LOL, I don't think I could play it now......don't remember how. ;)

[lewdini]

Will Simcity 4 have highways that really work?

[reniusa]

Seems like they would work. :) They are spending alot of time on them at least. But I don't know for sure.

Hi lew.......heehee didn't know you were a member here. :D

[lewdini]

I was....got my private message?

[reniusa]

Yup, got it :)

[Helén]

hehe Reni... my fault you see Lew here..
Reni I had the old SC2000 too... those highways wotked... some parts with lots of traffic too. I t was a bit tricky to put the highways over water and hills.
Dunno about SC3000 yet at all. Got SC3000WE as a gift the other day... Shall try it out asap.... hehehe.

What I've seen from SC4 the highways will really work.

Hi lew. Nice to see you're posting too ... :classic: *hugs*

(hops away)

[reniusa]

Hi Nina :)

What is the "WE" edition of SC3000? haven't heard of that one. It's cool you got it as a gift.....I need friends like that. ;D

[ManagerJosh]

World Edition was the international version of SimCity 3000 Unlimited, I believe.

[reniusa]

Oh, I see......thanks for the info. :)

[Helén]

Yes I believe so to Josh as I only had one choice when I should register it. And that was Unlimited...

[lewdini]

I wasnt bothered to register most of my sims products

[Helén]

The old once I never send i the registration cards for.
But nowadays I do it.

[lewdini]

Too lazy i guess

[Helén]
