Man, that sucks that you lost all that work, but there's 2 positive things. First, at least you have the video to see what you did - you don't have to rely on memory for it all, and second, you learned that you need to save more often, just in case your computer crashes. Love this series, and your other series' as well, the focus on design over efficiency is really nice. I know that your cities (and island) all work on a money making level, but that's almost a secondary priority, and it's a refreshing change.

Oh my God! You take ages to build anything but I love every minute of it. Looks amazing!

It is 2016, and i am here. Watching this video, made in 2014. This video is made about a game, that was made in 2003. At that time i was about 2-3 and i still think its best game.

Man did I just sit through 10 episodes? worth it

There should be a mod where you can use the flatten terrain tool without demolishing roads, it would come in super handy with what you're doing.

31:39 you have a hobo hotel in your town (the giant cardboard box) XD

Maybe you can build a small lake in the downtown area of the square city around the central park?? Should look nice i think :p. But anyway, i like your style of building cities. Watched all the episodes of SC 2013. Keep up the awesome cities Strict.

That "cute building" has a name - Khruschowka.

You know your tunnels you build manually do look nice but NWM already has tunneling tools that wouldn't mess with terrain at all and use puzzle pieces to connect and have puzzle pieces for RHW too (not sure if diagonal) but make this a lot simpler than using the Maxis terrain tunnels EDIT: Also you should try some of the simcity 4 launchers that forces the game to autosave every so often so you don't lose big chunks like that.

You got to use the Maxis Seasonal - Residential & Commercial Lots. Your city will look even more realistic

All about i never bother about parking space or special industrial decoration except trees and shrubs. Some kind of idea for the RHW would be to create a anti - clockwise circular ring around the town to ease of traffic wich want to cross town. Maybe it will be necesary to cut the direct the direct acces road.in between town and the industrial area, concentrate on ramps on the boulevard tunnel you just created.

I think you should keep the simulation on more often

Don't forget to link up the Downtown area up with trains.

as a general rule zoning will try at all possible to snap to the highest density and traffic flow road it can find. Avenues over roads over streets. A single tile will do that. alt and and shift can rotate it 90 degrees but not 180 so if you do want to place zones on those streets you will have to demolish the road... =)

Do the parking lots actually helps to reduce traffic?

Strictoaster, you should consider building a train station in the city!

strictoaster, will you play cities xl at one point? please respond yes or no :)

can someone tell me where did he get the industries street something like thAT?

Looks like your city is big enough for its own Mcdonalds! Take a look at kevdan25's mcdonalds from simtropolis if you get the chance.

hey and you deliver me a link to the package of those things that you have in this game ??

where did you found all these object's?? wich kind os SC4 do you have?

Love what your doing here Strictoaster. Just recently found your channel when it showed up in my feed. I have watched the series from EP1 yesterday and like what I see. I wanted to suggest a mayor diary over on SC4Devotion by a guy that goes by the handle SmileyMK. He is a really good at realistic cities and he has inspired me very much. Perhaps when you have time you can check him out and get ideas and inspiration for your current project and future projects you may have. You can find the diary here for your convenience sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=12096.0. Cheers and love the series and will be following more of your content for the other games you play as well.

I LOVE U STRICTTOASTER :) :) :)

Can you not change the camera angle? I know nothing about this game

You are placing the trees wrong.
