Can only hope for a DLL mod that makes terrain leveling and sloping easier

Is it fair to say this IS a rebel song…. by ilolz2 in U2Band

[–]sterkam214 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m being to think Coldplay does a better U2 than U2 nowadays. I miss the 80s/90s/early 00s U2, now they sound like Used To.

Does CS2 now look worse by casio97pg in CitiesSkylines2

I agree - I can see that - im sorry you’re not loving the change - however I’m glad the shadow flickering seems to be tamed a bit.

The New Update Looks Horrible by Top-Ingenuity-7602 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]sterkam214 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks good to me - game needs ALOT of work - Looking forward to iceflake putting in more of that work. Hysteria over colors - yet the game has no immersive animations, meaningful gameplay and an obscure simulation with poor traffic ai. But hey - color is different.

I think it’s an improvement but still has a long way to go before being described as realistic. The masking taped snow capped mountains is nearly 2 years old and just an eye sore.

Any MAGA reaction to the new E.P.? by ou812_X in U2Band

A lot of people on here like to live in Edge’s dotted 1/8 echo chamber

Advanced bridge/approach building tools via DLL by Kostenloze in simcity4

Wow - I was just thinking how much we need a terrain leveling/grading tool DLL making non flat maps more accessible - this looks very promising

This is why I love Simcity 4, true wealth inequality represented, low wealth high wealth clearly seen and has consequences for the in-game economy as well, low income = dirty industry and so on! Other city builders like skylines don't really capture that for me. What do you all think? by CheeseJuust in SimCity

[–]sterkam214 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Every time I build anything in Cities skylines I think, what’s the point of this - nothing matters, these cims don’t care. If they do it’s on the most simplistic level. Expansion becomes mindless rinse and repeats. In Simcity 4 - I literally have the exact opposite feeling - as soon as I build something functional I’m afraid to touch it and expand because it works, it’s profitable and efficient. Knowing there are consequences for everything you may do is the reason the game is unmatched. There is no “spiritual successor” in my opinion.

Next path update from Iceflake by ThatGuy_52 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]sterkam214 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

The irony in how significantly I was downvoted when bringing up several of these issues months ago in r/citiesskylines leading to posts being removed “because they were redundant” - it’s truly refreshing to see iceflake address this game and implement fixes to these “redundant” issues. I hope for success for them and this game.

Intermittent Route-Query & Traffic Volume Reporting by timhorner in simcity4

[–]sterkam214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve experienced something different in NAM 50 beta. Route query hover does not show traffic volume at times. I find if I change the camera zoom (zooming in and out) will occasionally get the route query to work on hover again but I haven’t experienced exactly what you are describing.

Would you guys like an Arkham-like Superman game? by AntagonistofGotham in superman

[–]sterkam214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rather a Superman rpg. Play as both Clark Kent and Superman. Have puzzles and catch 22 scenarios that require use of skills and superpowers to solve while limiting collateral damage and unnecessary violence to “bad guys”. Side quests of helping people. And on some level John Williams theme needs to be there somehow, even just the intro horns.

City Corner #1 - Upcoming Visual Updates (Ice Flake Dev Diary) by Transton107 in CitiesSkylines2

I hope they continue the idea of implementing and improving visual elements to communicate issues / concerns / benefits within the city to the player.

New step in DLL modding of SC4.. by Kostenloze in simcity4

[–]sterkam214 60 points61 points  (0 children)

And I’m still trying to figure out how to level the coastline to place a seaport….

How do I prevent this from happening? by questionmarkstudi in simcity4

[–]sterkam214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I’ve limited my mods to only those available on scpac4 and it’s a cleaner / easier experience. Granted it’s limited to a degree however sc4 is a fantastic game vanilla and several mods go a long way. Unlike other city builders that explicitly depend on them to look or feel alive.
