This is the place to show what you've accomplished with the CAM.

I'll start with a picture from the beta testing by MAS71 (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=1177.msg43784#msg43784).
He ran the same city for 50 years, both without the CAM and with the CAM:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg99.imageshack.us%2Fimg99%2F9099%2Fcam850bo1.jpg&hash=e6e40126c7dd11e0a4778f9066b1d513bad0c230)

Note especially the difference between the population growth as shown in the graphs.
The Rush Hour city quickly grew to a R$$ population of 200,000 but then stopped.
The CAM city grew constantly to a R$$ population of 400,000 and never stopped.

A great picture, RippleJet! Also a nice city, MAS71! :thumbsup:

Very interesting pictures.  Both cities do look very nice.  And with the Cam you can see a big difference.
I'd love to see more pics of other's accomplishments.

has a maxis vanilla city ever looked so good....

for not until this....

for me its the alteration to the urban topology. much shallower gradient from suburbs to downtown.

A different look from a CAM city. The rural side, not all in CAM is huge cities, but also a great variety of farms. Some of the most beautiful I have seen yet. This is a D66 stable that has not been released.

Offtopic, but guys there is only four continents :P

Old World, America, Antarctica and Australia. Old World is Euraasia and Africa, because they are one landmass but Suez Canal is in between  ;)

some real great CAM cities all... hmmm continents im not getting in that part of the conversation lol

Speaking of which - I don't have the Go Away Wren mod, and the building rarely appears, if at all, in my cities. However, I have huge problems with Reflect Inc, Vu Blue Denim and a few blue shiny buildings. :P

Nice cities, but I thought the CAM would reduce repeating buildings too?

I find that it has.  I dont get nearly as much "duplication" as I used to.  I think that WTC thing is just one of those things that happens sometimes and cannot be prevented.  But, then you need to have alot of buildings aswell.  If you have a limited number of lots at a specific Stage then you are bound to recieve "duplication".  If I remember correctly Stage 15 isnt overly populated like Stage 8 used to be, but one day we will have many more buildings to populate this range I think. 

Speaking of which has anyone ever completed a Burj Dubai yet?  I know its been started before but I dont remember it being released.

OK OK i thought i would never really put some pics here but i have too cause the changes CAM did for an preCAM city was stunning and i have to share with you all a before shot of Carporth Heights with high demand as it was and i was planning it that way... i did have some intresting results like devolpment in spots when i fired up CAM so here it be the before then after shots of Carporth Heights......

I think skyscraper or Andisart (whichever one, I don't remember) has already released a version on the STEX. So... I dunno if it's been CAMmed...

Yes, skyscraper has one version on the STEX (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=16672) and Andisart is batting a more detailed version with a preview available in his bat thread (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=37&threadid=60576&enterthread=y&STARTPAGE=21#1192364).

At the moment none of those is in the pipeline for being CAMmed, but that latter one would be a nice one, once it's finished. :thumbsup:

The difference between Vanilla flavoured and CAM flavoured ::)

Both run for 5 years as test of cam


With Nam only (Essentially vanilla)

With Cam only installed
http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/4161/ruralcamelotcamgl3.swf
You can see the original spurt of growth and the second required the additional housing that appears. this was allocated after 4 yrs of the city been run.


Hope you like?

That's a very nice presentation, Derry! :)

I also notice that you had almost only Pedriana Plants growing with the CAM.
At startup farms of stages 1/2/3 are set to grow in the ratio 50/30/20.

Nevertheless, since the demand is high, the simulator favours the higher occupancy stage 3 Pedriana Plant.
If you continue to play the region with Maxis farms only, you will eventually get more stage 1 and 2 farms as well.

The best way to get more variation, is still of course to download custom farms from the LEX. :thumbsup:

thanks RJ :thumbsup:

Yes I have almost everything on the lex reinstalled so am looking forward to seeing the true potential of the cam.

As I showed, it was more for the comparison than anything else

I 've noticed that pedriana's plants do show up early if the zones are big enough for them and yes the stage 1+2 farms do show up later. Thank you for the info on the growth ratio. that is helpful.

Derry

This I got after I installed the CAM and a few hours playing after that.

Well, this is my first city with the CAM. :P

Nice one, SA, and showing that CAM does not have to mean tower blocks everywhere. Hopefully when you have some industrial lots in the region you will see stage 6 and 7 farms appearing in a different city.

Great looking CAM city! Also nice pictures of that farms!

Nice work SA, however, one small tip, leave a one tile gap between roads and farm fields, specially if you have residential zones on the opposite side of those roads, so, it doesn't look so odd those sidewalks touching the farms. Fill that gap with trees or something else that fits and use a street going from the road to the farm zone, like the pic bellow.

@Rj
nope, that's only the landmark......
the highest stage i have right now is stage 12....
my regional population isn't big enough, though i'm working on it right now.....

QuoteNice work SA, however, one small tip, leave a one tile gap between roads and farm fields, specially if you have residential zones on the opposite side of those roads, so, it doesn't look so odd those sidewalks touching the farms. Fill that gap with trees or something else that fits and use a street going from the road to the farm zone, like the pic bellow.

I'll keep that in mind for future farms. That doesn't really bother me much because I'm gonna develop that little area pretty soon anyway.

i started building another farming town to fill up my IR population then....

as you can see, i haven't put any trees or anything to improve the aesthetics of the town to make it look "farmy"....

Hi ya all,

Here is what I made in the past week. Since I've installed the CAM my goal was to see how big I could get a huge tile city with this marvellous mod. Serrapolis is my first megapolis to go over 1000k citizens. I have about 1/4 of the land open and can cram in 200-300k more citizens if I make it all HD-res. Here it is:

Just curious, are any of you using a money cheat? All the cities look awesome!! :thumbsup:

Thanks Ripple_jet.

And yes SlimShady i have the simoleon money cheat currently installed. Even with all taxes at .5% my city makes over 300k a moth profits... I just wanted to get on building, not worry about money. I do wonder if the city makes profit without it though...

I don't have the money cheat, but I use the Money Plant Pack by dstirling. It helps but I still go over budget.

Joe

no money cheats but i use the Radical Ordinance Mod....

No money cheats, no super ordinance, just straight play.

I have a question, though: how come Stage 6 and 7 farms done by BLS are Forest Reserves?

Because thats what Stage 6+7 farms are supposed to be (though 7 is actually supposed to be landmarks)

When deciding how to use the CAM ability for farms we came to the conclusion that as farms do not upgrade like other RCI types we had to look at a different approach. We decided to make stage 4 and 5 farms hold more jobs, stage 6 be woodlands and stage 7 heritage sites like landmarks. This adds something a bit different to the gameplay and also makes sure that they do not grow too easily. You need a large industrial population to get stage 7 farms to grow.

as for me, i've only reached stage 6 IR.....

Fantastic pictures of your CAM Cities @ all! :thumbsup:

SlimShady: No money cheat just a very powerfull windmill and stronger waterpumps.
I use those two mainly because I'm to lazy to check if the city has sufficient water and power.
Since I use the fastest mode on many occasions it keeps me from abandoned building especialy in big[ger] cities.
You don't need a money cheat if you play on easy and get half a mil to spend.
Just ignore your advisours and spend money on ordinance when you actualy make money.  :satisfied:
With that city I posted I make about 130K per month.  :D

Thought it was just at that zoom level and rotation lol

Joe

 :o &Thk/( :o ()what() :o

I wish I could tell you what is wrong... never seen anything like it before...
However, I would suspect that your graphics card is playing havoc with you...

Meh, and it doesn't stop there, its both zoom 4 and 5 and all rotations in all cities. so I'll restart and find out, it seems to be something with the gradient of the terrain, but restarting simcity fixed it, lol.

Star one or two things is happening here... either A video card has taken a turn for the worst or B your RAM has hit a max out....  Did you recently instal sc4 on a new computer?   if so did you update the nivida driver?

I have to say that a dying video card shows weirder faults then that.
Updating drivers is not always the way to go, sometimes [with older cards] you might wanna downgrade or stick with older drivers.

or just restart sc4, its a new graphics card with new drivers on a fresh install of both windows and SC4

 &apls &apls  Star im glad that is all that was needed to fix that problem.... why i was think what i was, cause  i had the same exact looking screen with sc4 and a not campatible vid driver and also rammed out lol

I'm glad that's fixed...  &apls Never seen nothing like this either.  ???

Oh, yes, I do. Wish I could get my industrial areas to look as realistic. ::)

There are some repetitions, e.g. the Lee Avionics, which at 2×3 is the only in-game stage 6 I-HT Anchor, and which also grows at 3×3 as stage 5...
Obviously we still need more custom content industrial CAMeLots! :thumbsup:

Thanks man.

Google maps is a good help though. I just had a look at Rotterdam harbour and took one of the side arms of the canals and turned it into that canal harbour. All the custom content our community has made over the years is really great. Imagine the looks of this without it....  nay, rather not.

Yeah I know what you mean. I find the CAM hard to make any money in starting stages of building, even at 8 %. lol I like to play without money cheats but using NOB's utilities makes running a city easier.

Love the way you city looks now. Where did you find the container ships from and also the refinery? That looks awesome!!! Can't wait for new pics.

Thanks Slimshady, those Container Ships were made by Jeronij. (as were the docks and parks and... well you get the idea, i like his stuff). Just search the LEX under his name and you'll find them. The refinery was made by RN productions. Search the STEX for "Refinery". At first I thought it was broken because it portrayed brown lots after plobbing, but taking the game of pause made the lots grow after a couple of days. Now I also like the way my harbour is turning out, but I have seen container docks with container cranes in a couple of CJ's and they would fit better. I havn't been able to find them though.

I've also tried to remedy the no job zod thingies for my residents on the refinery island, since all the buildings were being abandonned. I've placed the railroad station coser, made the zones next to the avenue HD Commercial and replaced the ferry landing with one that actually works (dunno the other was broke or something.) Unfortunately I made the harbour with the terraformer in such a way that I cannot get subway off the island  :'( the grades are to steep. Ah well you learn something every day.

Now it looks like this:

I agree LoneRanger, Toblakai's work is fantastic. I also don't think I have enough work for a CJ or a MD, but thats because I like perfection, as you will see in my next pic's.

I actually had 2 sphinx historical sites next to the tower of london thing, but those palms and desert tectures did not fit in that well so I buldozed them and replaced them with the residential/recreational area. Knowing the percentages are so low maybe I should have kept them...

Currently trying to grow the Bahrain WTC by ks_jpn in Serano City, but it just won't (not in Serrapolis (1200k+ pop.) either) All I get are more of those foxx club globes. Don't get me wrong, the building is great, but also rather unique looking. More than one per city doesn't look too good.

Maybe I'll do a smaller city with a national park and some farms on the plateau near the extinct volcano. What extinct volcano? you ask, well here is an overview picture. Serrano City is in the north-west corner while you can still see Serrapolis in the south-east.

Those are some huge terraces you've got there, I especially like the see-through road ramps. And that's a nice shiny white mega building dead center in the city there, I've not seen it before is it a CAMelot?

I can see how this city  would take up a lot of time with the street tool ;). You might want to considder the SC4 terraformer for doing that kind of work for you, it's great. Mind you I'm curently also street leveling a lot to make me a mountain stream with lakes, it's not perfect.

One of the things I immediately fell in love with when I got the game was the terrain terraforming. The simcity terraforming is crude compared to the SC4 terraformer, but still it immediately gripped me. Serra Peninsula was the first region I made and through all my reinstalls kept it. Later when I got comfortable with the Terraformer I edited out the akward things the simcity tools do with the map and now it looks like this.

The water has always done that, it's a bug in the darkblueisgreenish plugin I think. Mind you it was made in 2003, I got it of the STEX Cd in 2006. Havn't found any updates. Maybe I'll install one of those water textures from Pegasus productions, they look good. But that will also mean I have to enter every city tile agian so :angrymore: simcity updates the water texture.

Hope you manage to reconcile with the neighbours ;D , I'm back to the stream...

South I go now, fill in the wings later...

And, for this city(region), I use the moolah cheat, the no garbage radical ordinance, and the increase CS and CO demand ordinances, although all the CS seems to accomplish is building lots of sim goobers embassy suites, there worse then wrens....

That is more suburbia there than I have in my entire region. The ascent from low to high density is nice and gradual.

I was gonna post some pics of my new city, but it is not done yet. So I thought I'd post some more of Serrapolis. I've also got some stats.

Here is some data on my city. Appearantly I have a stage 15 residential, but I can't find it. Other than that the CAMelots are growing like mushrooms in the city. The Commute Time is very good. With non-cam huge cities, even with the NAM, this would be over 1 hour. I have the Promote Biking plugin as you can see by the large number of pedestrians. Also there is an extensive subway system in my city and I've (for the first time) managed to zone in such a way that work can be found around the corner instead of across the map. Mind you those sims still travel across the map, but not in such large numbers. I got that weird spike in commuters when I buldozed 30k industrial jobs and 15k residentials in the neighbouring region &mmm.

Yeah, thats something I am finding easier with CAM, seems the gradualness is a lot easier. And that shot is of 5 different large city tiles all intermingled, but I cant do garbage deals for some reason, argh.

That's definately a graphics related issue.

I currently have 1049 CAMelots in the Serrapolis and just finnished street-terraforming the dunes. I'll see if I can reach 1400... After that I can replace the light and medium residential for HD-Res (granted, perhaps 3% of total residential zones) to get some more. Industry makes up a "disproportionate" amount of my total CAMelots, compared to the amount of space dedicated to it. Maybe that will change once I get stose 6x6 stage 10 I-HT buildings. Imagine how many CAMelotsyou could grow in an entirely flat-no-water-huge tile.

Star.torturer I did'nt mean to make you jealous $%Grinno$%. This city just rocketed off once is population hit ~450k. The buildings kept upgrading, hitting another stage cap in population and then upgrading again. It's a sort of cascade effect. Because you have smaller tile cities it may take a bit longer, but once the regional population is up there the CAMelots will sprout like mushrooms. (It helps if you zoned everythig HD like I did  ;D)

The city Is becoming so large that I had actually had to build another nuclear plant from the NuclearPlantsSet_Locale_US lots, the best produces  1.450.000 Mw. Now I have 2 with a total usage of 59%. It also needs 8 Large water pumps to keep the thirsty sims hydrated.

I don't know how/if the cam was tested with these large numbers of population, but I still have little traffic in my city. Maybe this will go up if I remove the promote biking plugin. At the moment it is a bit unrealistic, not a single intersection shows up red in the trafic stats and the commute time is under 40 minutes. Maybe I'm a great city planner  ;D, or maybe the CAM tranist volumes/speeds have to be tweaked some more for version 1.1 &mmm.

What I do get is dilapidation on the 10k+ residencies unless they are in walking distance of a subway station, or built directly to an avenue. Building subway nearby usually makes the residence go shiny again. Bus stops don't seem to work as well. Apparantly the sims in these buildings have a bit more trouble finding their way to jobs.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the images,

Toblakai

You should have helped us with the beta testing, Toblakai! Maybe for version 1.1? ::)

Hey guys. If anybody is using my CAM LOTs Pack1 (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1087), please post some feedback on whether it is working correctly, queries look good, etc. And CAM Counter is working properly with the CAM Lots. Pictures are not necessary but could be cool. Since I haven't upgraded to CAM yet (I will when I get more LOTS done) I just want to know how they are doing in your cities and whether they are useful, buggy, or boring.

Also the models are not included - you may have to get the megapacks BarbyW uploaded.

@Ripplejet: Well, I just dicovered there was something like CAM when it was already done. Before I was just a lurker on the forums, and visited mostly for idea's in the CJ's and the downloads sections. Now that I am using it though I might do some testing for you if you need/want me to, just let me know. It's nice to do something back for all you guys who made this great mod.

@Bixel: Shame on me, I had all the CAM-pattible lots, except for yours :-[. I have corrected that situation and you might see some of your buildings in my pics in the future.

Right, here is what I've been working on all week. These mountainous rural area's take up as much time as the flat mega cities. I had some fun with the PEG pine trails, lake and stream kits.

I found out that plopping small parks, plazza's and busstops did wonders to that part of the city I posted.
Stage 15 [res] buildings went from 1 to 19 in no time.
Since hardly any sim seems to use the highway across town I carfully removed it and replaced it with avenue's wich gave me some more room to zone.  &idea
I'm currently looking at the "lower" buildings in the center to see if I can do something to get some more highrise.
Taking down a part of the forrest is no option and at the nothern edge of the city I can't allow any more high-rise.
The two small towns up north are almost completly commercial buildings and industrial. [ht&manufactury]
It's not realy realistic but seems to help to relieve pressure so Res. demands gets up in the city.

Not sure if that was the reason, but:

R§ needs a nearby park to get past stage 12
R§§ needs a nearby park to get past stage 9
R§§§ needs a nearby park to get past stage 3

Details about those Park CAPs and other CAPs can be found in the CAM - Stage Limits and Stage CAPs (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=1987.0) thread.

Well, it's more like the small plazza's that did it for me.
Always thought plazza's were good for Co/Cs, parks for Res. and flowergardens for Industry. [ht]
Since I discovered the bigger [selfbuild] parks you guys and girls made I hardly use the smaller ones.
To my surprise those small [standard] plazza's did wonders to Residential.

Air pollution is rampant, I think most people die on their way to work :P. Is there any good way to lower the pollution? The city has a busstop/subway on every corner, all anti-pollution ordinances are activated and I have (too many) of RippleJet's CAMelot Counter statues in my commercial district.

Traffic keeps getting worse, some roads and avenues are at their limit. So I guess I have to rework some of the transport network

More Population. I'm not kidding: with the CAM installed, I had city with fairly high polluiton, population was about 550 to 600K. I actived the no pollution oridance, and with one year, without any new zoning, the population hit 700K. My jaw hit the floor needless to say, and I'm pondering doing this in my other cities.......

Using a mod to get rid of pollution sounds like cheating :P. Heck, I'm using bigger hospitals and garbage disposal plants, that feels like cheating :P.

My main city now has 1.1m R, 1m C and about 150k I(-T). I think I'll just go with the flow, planting trees is nice, but for that I have to demolish almost half of my commercial district (relaying roads, rezoning, etc). I think you can easily hit double that size, since I used some medium density zones (the skyline would look awkward otherwise).

If there is any space on the lot around the building, you can actually plant trees without demolishing anything.
I usually just plant my trees randomly along my roads getting them whereever there is space for them.

The only thing you have to remember is that if the lot redevelops, all trees you've planted on it will be torn down.
Darn construction workers... they should take better care of trees already planted on the lot... :D
Just replant more trees on every new lot every now and then. ;)

Unbelievable techniques!!!  &apls &apls &apls

Planting trees like that isn't real imo. I don't strive for those beautifuls cities that are possible, I want the most ppl in a small place while still running an efficient and healthy city. And I want a huge skyline ::).

Not sure if that was the reason, but:

R§ needs a nearby park to get past stage 12
R§§ needs a nearby park to get past stage 9
R§§§ needs a nearby park to get past stage 3

Details about those Park CAPs and other CAPs can be found in the CAM - Stage Limits and Stage CAPs (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=1987.0) thread.

Didn't I read in the manual that buildings also have a desirability threshold growth? So plobbing more parks might get those $$ and $$$ buildings to pop up.

As you can see, lots of roads and few trees. All my cities have a grid-like structure. I just couldn't be hassled with creating city centres like cities here in The Netherlands.

Hear you there, though there are enough plugins out there to do it. Great city pics by the way and many CAMelots  :thumbsup:. My biggest city has 2.300.000 citizens in it and has (minus 453 industry) "only" 952 CAMelots.

Does anyone know about a plugin to up the amount people that can attend university, because the one in Serrapolis is continually on strike with 15.000 attendants. I'm also doing the Kings Cross station justice with 30.000+ commuters, but I can't place it everywhere so the rest of my stations is still overcrowded. Maybe the airport tram centers by Joerg need more capacity too, because I need 15+ of them to keep the city flying. I've tried modding he numbers myself, but I'm so poor at it that when I do that the game refuses to start up &ops.

RippleJet, since you said the "promote biking plugin was rather radical", I did a test, by removing the "promote biking plugin" in Serrapolis, whose results I'll post below.

Right, Here is an overvieuw of Serrapolis, "finished", as I filled the last free space to get additional  CAMelots. 2.300.000 sims and counting...

It seem like the game recalculated my commute times "in the past", so there is no spike from 20 to 120 =. The commute times went back to what I was used to seeing pre-CAM in cities of 500k people. I saw no dilapidation and my city still grew to 2.450k citizens in those years. The road congestion did increase significantly though. Suddenly there are red places all over the city roads, even though the total volume is "only"  $%Grinno$% 100k extra cars and 50k extra busses.

Yes, §§§ buildings won't grow until the desirability is above 120, and parks help a lot in increasing desirability. ;)

Changing the capacity of the in-game university can be done, if you are precautious regarding the Phantom Funding Sliders Bug (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=2166.msg66767#msg66767).
Being precautious means you would have to bulldoze all existing universities in all your cities before installing such a mod.
There is a modular university being developed by one of the teams here at SC4D, but unfortunately it is far from finished yet.

All three pathfinding plugins included in the CAM increase both the capacity and speed for all networks (see page 5 in the manual).
Thus, removing the "Promote Biking", would indeed cause a lot of traffic problems.

You might want to try the "Promote nothing" and compare those results to the "Promote biking".
If you do not want to reinstall the CAM, but want to be able to manually move any of the files in and out, I recommmend downloading the MAC version of CAM (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1009), which includes all files as such, for you to copy into the appropriate folders as needed.

Sorry to hear about your hard disk, it sucks when that happens. If it's any consolation, the pic works and your region did look very nice. I think I'll backup all my stuff now, considdering my PC is 4 years old...

@RippleJet: I didn't know the plugin was for all the CAM commute modifications, so what I was looking at was the default simcity speeds and capacities. Well that's one experiment down the drain... What it does tell me though is that how I was zoning the city did do some good, I never had that many pedestrians before &mmm.

I found a modified University on the STEX with 25k capacity, and I didn't even have to remove my old ones.

P.s. Redguy, I was looking at that night picture from Ranville again and it occured to me that your nightlighting may not be working properly. I may be incorrect but many of those buildings have lights on them in my city at night.

No, I do, just felt like doing something different in this city (mainly it was an excuse to use the Tokyo station, which I've tweaked slightly to be all el-rail -- there were two "shinkansen" platforms.

And there are subway stations on the map -- quite a few, actually. But they all travel mostly north-south. You have the Central Line, which spurned a load of development -- you can see a couple of the stations clearly -- one near the roundabout on the south side of City Park (the one near the parking lot and the large hospital -- which I've modified to give a capacity of 65,535), and another near the stadium (which also has bus stops nearby and is a major interchange for the city.

Then there's the City Loop B, which only dives underground for two station (it's elevated the rest of the way).

At this point, most of the east-west travel through the CBD is provided by buses. Bus use is fairly high, given the tile has only 90,000 residents (region total nearly 200,000).

Most traffic thoroughfares within the field of view in those screenshots convey buses.

Also, don't be deceived by the more sparse use of avenues compared to most. There are many, many, one-way streets.

I already have Stage 11 buildings. I'm not using many plops (aside from things which need to be plopped!)

Well the beauty of the CAM is that you have good control over where the large buildings spawn. Choosing less population over a better looking city is always good in my book. Also the cities are then easier to blend into the regional view. So share them ;)

Speaking of something different, I've started in a new region, so no pics from me for a while in this thread. I've gone fo a more rural look and there will be fewer cam buildings than in my mega-city region. This however takes time and this is all that is up and running in my new region. Not a lot to do with CAM yet....

Looks nice anyhow, especialy with them rail gantries

star.torturer that graphical glitch on your large tile in region view is just that a graphical glitch.  It is caused anytime you are playing in 1600x1200 resolution, open a large tile, and save it.  If you never use the large tile you will never get the glitch(of course that means you can't build on that tile.  If you change resolutions it will go away.  It has nothing to do with any mods, it will happen in vanilla Sim City.

When I first started playing Sim City 4 I spent many hours trying to find a solution to it.  To my knowledge their is no way to get rid of it other than to play in a lower resolution or to not use the large tiles.  If someone can prove me wrong in this conclusion please do so!

Yeah I know that conclusion did not make me happy either.

Thankyou for the explanation, and welcome to SC4D. I dont play that region anymore, infact i have stopped playing SC4 for the moment :'(. you can blame school for that.

Joe

Sad to hear about school and sadder that we don't get to see more pictures from you. In fact the going has been slow on this thread the last couple of days. Looking at the amount of downloads of the basic CAM mod there must be way more people who use it, so if you read this, share some pics here!

For my more rural region I installed the BLS revised farm fields, which has stage 4 farms, and the lots are turnig out awesome. I thought I'd share some pictures of them.

farms in Weijdsche Aa look great!

Yeh, I've been using CAM. Been CAM-Lotting the crap out of all those great buildings I downloaded in my plugins folder. One thing I noticed is that city growth is very gradual now and you can definetly get a smoother progression from small town to larger city. It also seems to take a while for some stage growths to unlock. But I am not complaining.

Later on I might have to compile a list of discrepancy's and download locations for all the buildings I have recently converted to CAM. I might upload the LOTs as Bixel's Choice cuts, but I will swing it on barbyw's/ripplejet's way 1st for approval.

Well make sure you have it zoned correctly, 5x5 lots, just zone 5x5 and hit "ctrl" and voila!

Of course, you need the demand for it...

And some sort of luck as it seems...

During beta testing we tried to get the WTC to grow for months... and nothing...
then suddenly, MAS71 had three of them growing, and the next week seven more of them...

Obviously you can't expect to have just one of them! :D

hmm it seems once you get one then the rest follow's suit... Thank my luckie stars i havent gotten one yet lol...

I am making a new commercial hub, and theres space for tallies (correct zoning), parks, fire stations, water and trees, but none!!! O.O theres heaps of demand too

Ironically right after A200's post, one WTC building finally popped out of nowhere. Except its just one  :-[... only one.

Hi! This is my first post of my CAM city. It is not massive yet, but as it gets that way, I'll post more. I tend to play NYC style with a grid and heavy mass transportation. The CAM is allowing me to play that way for real! :)

I also like the little park I created for the downtown area in the middle of the screen. I am really enjoying playing this city, and this section is starting to explode! More pictures later...what do you think?  :D

For this particular section of downtown, I have created a monorail system that runs a loop with about 3 to 4 blocks between it.  There are also bus and subway stations connected to the monorail stations, and all 3 networks are fairly pervasive through my residential sections.  I posted one picture so you can see that as my downtown is starting to grow, my mass transit system is really being very effective. I couldn't figure out how to take the picture with the actual transit stats up, but currently that node I clicked on is handling over 6000 people, and the entire road grid is green!  :thumbsup:

I tried that, but it would not let me. It kept saying the maximum file size was 300 KB, and those pictures were 200 KB each.  SC4 saves them as such huge files, and even at 200 KB each, the quality is severely compromised.  I think I need to find some server space somewhere if I want to have high quality pictures. :)

pkremer: you should open an account at http://photobucket.com/ It is free and is easy to use.

A work in progress across the region.
However I felt this may bring interest from some people.

It's not completely symmetric, I've done my best to create a 'gradual' increase in height as you edge towards the middle. Central's avenues are 64 squares from each corner.
The outermost ring avenue runs 32 sq from the edge, and the next closest is 64 sq from the edge. Then the innermost ring road is 96 sq from the edge.

Crushtown's highways would be alot easier if someone in the NAM team had made single sided perpendicular onramps for ground highways. As it is, I need to convert from low, to high w/ onramp, to low. However I best not complain, their work is muchly appreciated.
As for crushtown traffic dumping onto a single avenue... in grand city planner tradition: I'll figure that out later :)

Looking nice there! And great city (so far).

With CAM, I made an overpopulated city.

This is the view of the entire city that the buildings grew on, about 1 game year after the first pictures. Unfortunately, the game CTD'd soon after this photo was taken, so I'm not sure if the Integricultures are still there. Don't worry, though. The Somys are still there.

And god-mode to plant some trees because the pollution is killing....
Just wanted to see how much people would fit in one tile... I didn't use the right strategy though.
I think it must be possible to go over 10 million.
Allthough I am running a Quad-core with 4Gb it takes 4-7 years before lots will grow/upgrade.
To bad SC doesn't use all the cores (help appreciated!)
It is a hassle to fight the CAPS and get the demand going...

As you can see I only have R$, C$ (And some CO$$$ that popped up and I decided to keep)
The R$ don't need schools and hospitals, just a lot of surrounding industry-city's.
I make extensive use of sub-way. BTW transportation makes me A LOT of money so I can keep the tax for R$ low (4%)

Wow, that must be pretty dense... I'd like to see an overview screenshot of the zones map, to see how much of the map you've covered with what density.. (I'm gonna assume high-density, because without it you wouldn't get the same # of sims/tile as you would with high density...)

Nice statistics, though. It seems your city is on it's way smoothly to get your quota of 9 mil. (I like your 1 billion simoleon reserve even with only 4% R§ taxes)

That's a very good layout, Anakin! :thumbsup:

I especially like the way the motorways are as in real life,
going diagonal and sideways and not being long continuous straight stretches. ;)

Thanx ,i doing my best ,to make it realistic ,but its not alway easy   :)

Wow Anakin,,
That's really a wonderful city!!

Just out of curiosity, what building is that? I check and see if I can make it "unmissing".

I was referring to caspervg!
He has shown us a stage 15 residential and a stage 10 industrial, but not a stage 15 commercial tower, yet. ::)

Pshaw. Later I'll post one of Somy's stage 10s, the same residence he posted, AND various stage 15 towers.  ;D

I have a lot of images, so I hope no one minds if I double-post.
Sorry for the desktop images, I play in windowed mode, and I was too lazy to set it back to full screen.
Please note, captions are on top of the image.

No way near as impressive as all your more refined creations, but here's my fourth successful CAM city... well, I did have an entire commercial small region once, but that was using tons of demand cheats. I'm not exactly a recent "CAMvert", downloaded it a few months ago, made the aforementioned region and then lost interest until recently. Anyway, interested to see what you think so I'll post more detailed shots later, but for now:

I'd like to know about traffic too, it's my biggest problem.

I bet a night shot looks impressive! I haven't reached a 15 yet.

A quick final update on the city I previously mentioned here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=1915.msg209529#msg209529) - here's the final version before I start a new region:

lol, yeah. the city's not supposed to be realistic  ;)

I really hate to gloat... but I'm gloating a bit...

This city has been my pet project for over a month now and thanks to some well placed services and some utility generating stations with quite a bit more capacity than their standard components I have managed to get the population of the main city of Cyrano to over 11 million inhabitants, and its all thanks to the cam. I keep trying to add more people and it is quite, difficult, to do at this point without totally removing the land, and I don't want to do that.

Fun Statistics time !

Most used subway station: 600,000 subway passengers, 110,000 bus passengers
Total Traffic Usage: <5 million walkers, 4.1 million bus users, 3 million subway users, 2.5 million vehicular traffic.
Commute Time: Lethal, as in <200 minutes

If anybody has a good link for a statistics mod I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER, or thank you, whichever I am comfortable with at the time.

I'll probably be posting more pictures later.

EDIT: Later changed to 10 seconds after I post this
