I'm running a community LP of Sim City 4, the city building game by Maxis. The basic idea is that there's going to be two cities; one is a grimy dystopia, and the other a shining utopia. We'll be using the San Fransisco terrain map that's included with the program.

This is my first LP, so feel free to provide any criticism or comments. Hopefully this (the LP) won't go down in a massive ball of flame.

Sim City tickles my interest.

[MonkeyHead]

Sounds like fun. I have a fondness for post-industrial wasteleands.

"This used to be steel mills, as far as the eye could see... now its just populated by junkies, all busy trying to work out how to do some diamond..."

Posting to follow. SimCity 4 is a fun game.
LostCosmonaut: You are playing the vanilla SimCity 4, right? Or is it the expansion pack, Rush Hour?

[LostCosmonaut]

I have rush hour, with the Network Addon Mod, which reduces the sims' pathfinding derpiness somewhat. If anybody has any other mods to suggest, I could install them also. If not, I'll start working on the setup later today. Also, I could download some terrain maps off the tubes if anyone has any requests.

[Jopax]

Yes please!

And as far as mods go, I think mostly cosmetic ones with doodads and stuff should be in order, can't remember the exact name but if we are going for a derelict industrial city there are a few great mods with buildings and concrete and stuff that add a lot of charachter to an industrial zone.

They can be found on SimPeg I believe (needs a free registration and is a really great site I used to visit).

[Guardian G.I.]

The BSC File Exchange is full of all kinds of mods (free registration is required).
There should be enough buildings and props out there for any kind of derelict industrial cities.

[Itnetlolor]

Quite a few LPs coming up all over the place. I like it.

Can't wait to see what craziness comes from this.

[LostCosmonaut]

I managed to acquire some texture packs as well as some models for additional dirty industry buildings. Also, if it's ok with everyone, I was planning on using a section of the San Fransisco region for our city's terrain.

[MonkeyHead]

You mean we cant use Pripyat?

[LostCosmonaut]

If there's a terrain map somewhere for it, I'd be willing to do it. I mainly suggested the San Fransisco region because it has a good mix of coastlines and mountains, and I also have some smaller cities in the region already, so we could get going quicker.
