I Got Simcity 4!!!!

[[ S a g e o n ]]

Today, I finally got Sim City 4; I'm not one of those people who lie about things, ManagerJosh knows that. And I know many other people who have it over at the SC4EVER.com forums. As they've been popping up in stores like EB etc...

So I had a little go of it today and it's abosolutely fantastic as you may guess.

If you'd like to ask me any questions about the game or want any screenshots, I'd be happy to comply.

[ManagerJosh]

Check your PMs Sageon :)

Well i wouldnt mind a screenshot of a seaport or some of the regions ;):D

[[ S a g e o n ]]

Okay then, I'll try and got one to you.
I'm having trouble with building a city and making a profit at the moment. But I'll try and get a seaport built :D.

[[ S a g e o n ]]

Wow Sageon! Thank you so much! I owe you one.

[Assassin]

wow now i really want it!

[alapokeygirl]

Can't wait until I get mine. You have now throughly peeked my want of the game! Thanks for the screenshots. :classic:

[[ S a g e o n ]]

No worrys, if you want more, just ask me. But it may be no need as it's released tomorrow.

[Helén]

Yay!!! Thankd so much. :classic:
But it doesn't help me. :( I can't get it before feb 6 anyway.
How shall I survive? ;)

[[ S a g e o n ]]

Well as people are going to get it over the official release date, I think people might post screenshots of their city.

[PhilipTarbuck]

I just thought that I would let you know that I received my copy of Sim City 4 by this mornings post. I live in the U.K.
I haven't got used to it yet - it looks great. The graphics are much improved and the terraforming tool looks quite simple - even to me.

[Helén]

Gaaahhhh!!!!! *Screams loudly*

I want it tooooo!!!.

*sobs*

Congrats Philip :classic:

[FaeLuna]

oh wow!! That's encouraging it's available where you are too now Philip, does that mean it's available most places by now? :D

Hang in there Nina!!! I'm still waiting on getting a new computer to run Unleashed on correctly before I can start begging for anything else new!! :p

[ManagerJosh]

I can't get it until February....maybe even later....

*sobs*

[Grey]

Same here, i thought it was out late feb, i was in the store and it turns out it came out yesterday, when i was there. Screw everything SC4 is out i'm getting it is what i thought. I've been up all night playing around getting used to it and then when i got in this afternoon i hit the pc again. Too addictive for your own good thats the only downside :)

[[ S a g e o n ]]

Just don't let it take over your whole life lol.

[Grey]

lol, yeah i can see that happenning. I wondered how we got to sunday so fast. :)

*Hugs Josh* Me neither Josh.

But I just thought of this. Look what many traps and things we can avoid by letting the others make them first. :p

[sam_lawrence]

lol Nina, well theres alot to learn in this game.

[lewdini]

I made 5 cities on the verge of bankruptcy

[[ S a g e o n ]]

I'm going to have to use cheats I'm afraid. It's simply too hard to plat it properly.

[Helén]

*Try to hang over Sam's shoulder to look when he plays.*

*Find the distance too big and sobs*

I bet there are Sam. Oh well. I'll survive - I think.

*Gives up trying to look and hops away*

[alapokeygirl]

You can now add us to the list of the ones who have it! My son Chris installed it and played it first. He is a perfectionist and he gets frustrated very easily. I think for him, he may have to break down and use cheats until he gets the feel for the game. I do give him credit though, he is continuing to try again and again. :classic:

[Helén]

Awwwweeeeeee... nooooooo

*Jumps up and down. Want it too!!!!*

Congrats Chrissy. :classic:

[[ S a g e o n ]]

I can relate to that pokeygirl, I just want to built the biggest and best city, if it all goes down, I obliterate it; just after I throw a few meteors at it :D.

[ander5rulz]

Isn't it easy to create zones! The roads are built automatically :).
Is it just me, or are the buildings in this new version of SimCity more expensive than SC3000?

[ManagerJosh]

I don't think those are roads...more like streets

[[ S a g e o n ]]

I'm not quite sure about the prices of the buildings, but as it's a new game you'll find a lot of things different compared to Sim City 3000; another example is you get an extra $50,000 budget when you start your city, so yes. They might be more expensive.

[Helén]

About those automatically built roads. Take a look at the thread I made about them.

You find it under City Planning

[sam_lawrence]

That is almost the same method i use, but i lay out 6x6 blocks. Thanks for the link Nina :)

[Helén]

You're most welcome Sam. :classic:

I understood from Alturas that those streets/roads where following the price of the zones. So if you have a $50 zone that street section will cost an additional $50. :eek:

[lewdini]

Hey Sam..u took the avatar off the wallpaper site?

[sam_lawrence]

Nope i made it myself :D

[alapokeygirl]

Cool Sam, I like it. :cool:

[sam_lawrence]

Thanks Ala, but im considering chaging back to a car based one.

[alapokeygirl]

What ever you pick, I am sure will be neat looking. :classic:

[[ S a g e o n ]]

Stick with the SC4 one Sam. It's looks great!

[Assassin]

I got it ...and it rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

[Helén]

This is a merged thread. :classic:
I put all 3 together and made it sticky, so all that wants to add that they got the game can do that here. :classic:

Why? Because they get "lost" in time and the more threads the more difficult it will be to find what you want and be able to add to it.

And guess what?? I got it too now.

*Jumps up and down with excitement.*

:bunny::bunny::bunny::bunny::bunny:

[Sasile]

Do you like it Nina? lol Thinking about getting it myself, right now i'm finding out the requirements though :-D

[Sita]

I got SimCity 4 too. A couple days ago. But I am confused - you all seem to have got it new recently? I thought it had been out for some time? My copy is actually a cheap second-hand copy... but I'm hooked already lol.

[FaeLuna]

You can see the date on the other posts to see when they were posted. :D I was late getting my copy too and even later starting to play, I've HAD the game since summer and only just now started playing! :p

[Sita]

d'uh! Thanks!

(This colour combination is hard to see...) but this forum l ooks useful. I'm stuck on the getting started bit - it's mean of them to set the game up so that it's harder to start off a city than to play later?
