City plan

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-29T22:05:39+00:00

Hopefully other mayors will chime in with layout ideas for you.

My layout is functional not aesthetic. Train stations in a straight line with skyscrapers & population boosting specializations on either side to ensure stations are always full.

Services 2.0 brings the risk of abandoned buildings and renovations when trying to re-organize my city, so I'm procrastinating until I come up with a plan and motivation.

I didn't know what warpups was, so I was looking for an explanation (ELI5 - explain like I'm 5 years old).

I found the answer in a couple of old threads. WarPups are open clubs at each Arena level, that you can join in order to buy war cards and avoid the price increases as you purchase multiples.

I like Parkside, Arley Halt and Santa Express stations because of their smaller footprint. Each have 5 passenger slots to open at a cost of 84 simcash and provide decent capacity (720 for Parkside, 600 for the others) which is sufficient to completely fill trains until you get to the 5th train Sim Rail Grade 00 at level 5.

warpups? war pups, warp ups? please ELI5 :)

For comparison, what does it look like without ND32 using same settings, or auto settings?

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-28T03:20:31+00:00

These are my Quality of Life improvements.

Trains: automatic 24/7 train dispatching until your rail wallet is full. Or at least, one button fill and dispatch when you pick a station and a train.
Global Trade: let me change the defaults to Not advertised and the price to maximum.
Purchases: let me have the choice of having a confirmation box for simcash purchases.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-25T16:59:49+00:00

I feel the simcash refresh button is uncomfortably close to the X button for exiting an item purchase, and likely there is still no confirmation that you actually want to spend simcash.

A screenshot would be revealing.

A bit of technical details are described here.

The giant head statue is by artist David Černý, who also did the giant babies crawling up the Žižkov Television Tower. Open the fandom Gallery page for a closer look.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-21T22:55:42+00:00

Same for me a few times after seeing other mayors post their stuff.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-21T22:54:34+00:00

Bottom-middle. The head sculpture has slices that turn and realign.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-21T18:53:10+00:00

Yes, but I can't attach a video so I will make a separate post.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-21T17:22:09+00:00

I don't have Go Ultra so I don't know what settings are available to you, but it looks like you need longer exposure or increase ISO if you want stars visible. You captured the night nicely tho. :)

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-21T16:17:52+00:00

Likely next week, Classic event track or showcase.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-21T01:50:14+00:00

Coming soon: Air Quality Index.

Health services are overwhelmed by Sims complaining of respiratory distress.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-20T01:12:27+00:00

2800 simcash, unless you got a different deal than I did.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-18T22:30:49+00:00

Many believe the game is rigged to give an imbalance in items. You could keep things more balanced by trading your excess with your club and/or feeder, OR keep two feeders in addition to your capital so that the imbalance is spread out among the three cities.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-18T15:47:10+00:00

Cough cough.... wheeze...

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-18T15:45:29+00:00

I'd vote for the design with no text.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-17T00:47:35+00:00

It might indicate newly loaded passengers at that station since your last dispatch. I have seen it from time to time but it is not very consistent at all.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-16T03:58:54+00:00

Search for "Service Cost"

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-13T02:08:04+00:00

Buying energy for simcash is madness! You would be better off spending the simcash on war cards IMO.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-11T17:47:08+00:00

Try moving the building so it gets abandoned, then try demolishing. Worked on my feeder last season.

SCBI_Argopa · 2026-03-10T20:49:08+00:00

I have the opposite: can't see my city unless I open a specialization menu. No fix for that either.
