I'm watching this in 2018 and I just realized that the game soundtrack is really nice. I guess I haven't paid enough attention when I used to play. Also, your voice makes this video very relaxing, kinda like ASMR. Greetings from Brazil.
Straight up GANGSTA!!! You've renewed my love and interest for Sim City 4. Got it when I was in 3rd grade; could never succeed without spamming the money cheat. Graphs, the secret is graphs
From my experience, taxes are there simply to create demand. If you want to make money, the easiest way is to put tolls around the commercial and industrial areas. You can easily make 5-10k per month by just putting tolls, depending on the size of the city.
The tollbooth thing really is the kind of thing that would have been patched out in the days of reddit but that almost everyone playing the game back in the day discovered and exploited (there was not even a penalty for building multiple toll booths on the same route)
The most important thing is to set affinity only for ONE core, as Sim City 4 was designed to run on one, it ALWAYS crashes if more than one core is used, which is the common reason of inquiries nowadays. It is very rare to not see multi-core machines today. I am running it okay on Vista and 7 as well, just set this in the Task Manager ;)
What are you doing running a city when you should be running a country. You're too damn good at this. Thanks for the help. Before this video all I could achieve was just 2 medium wealth apartments like 'Modern Apartments' and '2 Story Houses'.
the music in the backround was playing very triumphant music when you were revealing your plan, the game approves of ur efforts and now understands, like I have, what an awesome and realistic game this is, and how amazing u are at playing it. Good job man.
You can, but there is something you must do every time you open Simcity 4. You must go to the task manager, show more details, go to the details panel and find Simcity4.exe. You need to right click on this and go to "set affinity" and then select only one of the cores. This is because Simcity 4 was not designed to run on a multi core system. You will have to do this EVERY TIME you open! Thumbs up so people see this :)
It'll work. Save often and beware of crashes. Theres also threads that help you optimize the game to be more windows 7 friendly. But yes, i've been running it on windows 7
I'm playing it on a windows 7 64-bit system with 8 cores and 16 GBs RAM, it lags but still plays quite well. That really shows how it wasn't optimized for multi-core processors (which is normal, given when it was released).
Thank you for the video. I was stuck with my simcity4 population of 230k and after I built the neighbouring cities like you suggested in your video I've added (in just one of the neighbouring cities of my main city) 20k. Keep up the good work. Will you be adding more videos?.
Simcity 2013 shoud have been this same exact game but with better graphics and NO DRM (or some sort that allows offline play). They just went too far and kinda messed up. For the moment the best City builder i have is Cities Skylines, it is exactly what i wanted from Simcity 2013. The studio already had a good foundation with simcity 4 and instead of building on it, they creating a new untested foundation. So for now Cites Skyline RULES! This coming from an avid Simcity 2000,3000 and Simcity 4 player. Talk about letting your fanbase down.
however, one thing that Cities Skylines is missing, are the details. SC4 has a lot of them like little trees, benches, umbrellas, etc. a lot of buildings in Cities Skylines look like something still in the concept stage
You have a beautiful voice there brother & thank you for the explanation in wealth. I just completed a successfull medium size city!!! Also I have a question regarding 11:43. The commercial building you checked has high customers, even when the road and dual roadway has low traffic. How come? I only get high customers when I put a small street (the cheapest grey one) next to commercial, that too when I lay it in between industrial & residential zone. :')
@TLee7914 Great! Feel free to take a screencap or vid to show us how it goes. I do have 1 problem with how i've built though which can lead to a huge disaster that i'll be tackling in my next ep. You probably want to tune in for it, should be up in a day or two.
Depends on what the mod does. Increasing your network capacity to a more realistic level and allowing more than 10 people to work in your high density industry is not what i consider cheating. But, to each his own, i guess.
Yes, got myself a new laptop and still had Simcity in the EA library, sadly I have to start over completely again so hope this can provide a nice boost
I didn't use CAM in this particular season of SimCity. I used it in the second. Also, it's not a cheat. It's a plug in which in many ways makes the game more difficult...
Dwyrin's account belongs to Sheldon from TBBT at least I think, just to givwe some advice, you need to increas your transport at some small areas, just a tip
I got a easier and faster way! 1) Make an Peninsula 2) Create an industrial neighboring city 3) Zone all low density residential 4) Make car ferries 5) Water all buildings and add civics 6) Make sure all residential zones have at least 3x3 or better plots
fair enough. he should've mentioned that it wasn't vanilla. but the techniques apply with or without mods because the NAM doesn't change zoning or demand.
Yes it can be done, set the game to run in software rendering mode and its fine, might randomly once in a while (not too bad, just save often and your good).
You can fix the crashes easily. Start the game, get to the region menu, minimize the game, do alt+ctrl+delete, go to processes, right click on Sim City 4, click Set Affinity, then uncheckmark all but one CPU processor. The game can only run efficiently with a one core processor, so for multiple cores, you have to set the game to using only one core of it. Problem solved. I've played for hours on end with this fix with zero crashes. :)
You are the best, I have tried this and it worked. But I did end up with a lot of vacant buildings...Did you deny wealth to your sims from the creation of the cities?
I run it on a desktop with a 4 core with a highend gfx card in windows 8. Runs fine but I have set it to software rendering in the options. if you running win8 you should be fine.
I watched your video. The solar power plant needs 3000 high wealth residential to be available. Where do you find that information? Half way through your video the window popped up to buy solar power..but, where do you find the numbers for res com and ind??? Thanks for any reply.
lol no. It's just that from the very first simcity theres always been a desire with city builders to have hte most attractive buildings. So I devised a way to make a city with nothing but them. That's all. No politics involved here =)
I also wouldn't consider allowing you to place bus stops ON your roads, and making it so that you don't have to place 10 police stations around your airport to reduce crime also isn't cheating.
Create a shortcut to Sim City 4 and then add -w to the end of the target path. I haven't crashed since -- before I was crashing on Windows 7 64-bit numerous times.
Here's a tutorial I need. HOW DO YOU GET THE GAME TO RUN SO GOOD??? I have a new Alienware with an NVidia graphics card. How in the world is this game running bad??? Any advice for running the game on a new machine?
There are at least a couple must-haves that dramatically improve the experience and which should come standard, such as that particularly popular one that adds roundabouts and such.
My game might be bugged. It offered me a university at 12,000 pop? The choice for solar was there about 10 min ago but gone now. Was this version of Simcity 4 deluxe bugged in any way?
you need another city established with a higher tax rate for high wealth to drive up demand elsewhere. Then you make your other city with low tax rate for wealthy and they pile in
The best way to make a successful city is to use special cheats to not need power and water and to fund everything to the max. Financially wise you loose money but with time it all balances out.
My first time playing a simcity game. I'm doing pretty good,no skyscrapers yet. I was thinking what would happen with a wasteland neighbouring city(heavy pollution Dirty Industry, Low Income). Once you have a Utopia it get kind of boring, do the cities every fight other cities? Would a slum have the option to occupy a Wealthy city?
Tip: next time make sure the game volume is quieter than your voice volume cause I can't here you most of the time with the game volume louder than your actual voice.
I earned about 15 mil so far from mostly my medium and low wealth residents. I have around population of 100k as of now. I'm reaching the point where I will have tough time building skyscrapers.
the calmest youtuber in the world
Music too loud, hardly can understand the voice ;)
Great video btw!
yeah my early sound balancing was terrible back in the day... sorry about that
He's the bob ross of Sim City 4

Nicest soundtrack was during pick the region 👍

I'm considering beginning to listen to this video every time I need to go to sleep. Talk about soothing
Straight up GANGSTA!!! You've renewed my love and interest for Sim City 4. Got it when I was in 3rd grade; could never succeed without spamming the money cheat. Graphs, the secret is graphs
GOD DAMN.. finally someone on youtube who can actually teach me something more about this game.

Watching this makes me want to start playing again. I haven't played on a regular basis in about 8 years.
What are you doing running a city when you should be running a country. You're too damn good at this.
Thanks for the help. Before this video all I could achieve was just 2 medium wealth apartments like 'Modern Apartments' and '2 Story Houses'.
much respect to ur tutorials many people just post there city up and show brag pics instead of helping people out
the music in the backround was playing very triumphant music when you were revealing your plan, the game approves of ur efforts and now understands, like I have, what an awesome and realistic game this is, and how amazing u are at playing it. Good job man.
I haven't played Sim City 4 in a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time! I need to play it again! I still have it
Are you playing it now? Lol
@@2_572 I don't think so 😅😂 This comment was six years ago. Do you play it?
@@I_Think_You_Should_Leave I used to sometimes I still want too but my computer is shit. I loved the music in this game.
Your commebt been 7 years ago.. you still alive?

HOLY CRAP a simcity 4 economy explained BY commentary! i applaud!
I'm playing it on a windows 7 64-bit system with 8 cores and 16 GBs RAM, it lags but still plays quite well. That really shows how it wasn't optimized for multi-core processors (which is normal, given when it was released).
Thaaaaank you, the first video I found, where someone actually TALKS!
THANKSTHANKSTHANKS :D
Thank you for the video. I was stuck with my simcity4 population of 230k and after I built the neighbouring cities like you suggested in your video I've added (in just one of the neighbouring cities of my main city) 20k. Keep up the good work. Will you be adding more videos?.

TheGamingIndian COMPLETELY AGREE
But Simcity 5 does have offline
What sim city is most similar to cities skylines? Just soo I have an idea
you're voice is very easy to listen to...soothing
Hey nice city and great tutorial but I'm curious - did you build your roads first?? could you make a start up tutorial please!!!!!!
Or you can add "-CPUCount:1" to the parameters in the SC4 shortcut (in the properties window)
You have a beautiful voice there brother & thank you for the explanation in wealth. I just completed a successfull medium size city!!! Also I have a question regarding 11:43.

@dwyrin 10:50 hotkey to pause = CTRL + `
Great idea, I don't know how I didn't think of that, it did help.
Dwyrin's account belongs to Sheldon from TBBT at least I think,
just to givwe some advice, you need to increas your transport at some small areas, just a tip
That is a good question ive no idea. If you find out do let us know. Or use google. Whichever is easier
I got a easier and faster way!
1) Make an Peninsula
2) Create an industrial neighboring city
3) Zone all low density residential
4) Make car ferries
5) Water all buildings and add civics
6) Make sure all residential zones have at least 3x3 or better plots
Great vid!
Off topic: I suggest you start doing relaxation tapes :)
fair enough. he should've mentioned that it wasn't vanilla. but the techniques apply with or without mods because the NAM doesn't change zoning or demand.
you sir are awesome... quick question, wich city you think should be built first the wealthy or the less wealthy? anyone:)
Yes it can be done, set the game to run in software rendering mode and its fine, might randomly once in a while (not too bad, just save often and your good).

At the beginning of the video, I'm noticing blank areas. You may put streets, roads or one-way roads there or you may build small parks.
i love how you talked! nice one 👌
Vanilla? I'd perhaps go with CXL. if you use mods, just depends on which games mods you enjoy more. (heavily recommend mods)
Yeah i sometimes have trouble with that. Lot of game tracks are at various levels....
If you don't want the game to crash, click "run as administrator."
Yeah, I was just referring to the tax plan in the video. Tax the shit out of the poor, and don't tax the rich.
You are the best, I have tried this and it worked. But I did end up with a lot of vacant buildings...Did you deny wealth to your sims from the creation of the cities?
Good explanation, I'm gonna try it out on one of my regions
I run it on a desktop with a 4 core with a highend gfx card in windows 8. Runs fine but I have set it to software rendering in the options. if you running win8 you should be fine.
I could sleep in listening to this world
Has everyone ever seen Napoleon Dynamite? This guy just sounds soo much like Kip.
this cat is the BOB ROSS of sims
Is it possible to get low , Medium and high wealth all on the same tile. And if so, how is medium welth attained without creating high wealth?
I watched your video. The solar power plant needs 3000 high wealth residential to be available. Where do you find that information? Half way through your video the window popped up to buy solar power..but, where do you find the numbers for res com and ind??? Thanks for any reply.
so... were the random gaps in between zones explained?
*High taxes* *City riots* *No health funding* *traffic chaos* ..... "Look how much money I have" :D
Did you figure out the hotkey to pause?
lol no. It's just that from the very first simcity theres always been a desire with city builders to have hte most attractive buildings. So I devised a way to make a city with nothing but them. That's all. No politics involved here =)
@Dwyrin you can tune down the volume in the options menu
somehow his narrative is engaging...
i spent the whole video wondering why i was still listening but not turning it off
hey, one question, do you develop step by step? or do you just zone the roads avenues and highways initially and zone the residentials?
I also wouldn't consider allowing you to place bus stops ON your roads, and making it so that you don't have to place 10 police stations around your airport to reduce crime also isn't cheating.
His city looks like a more modern Lemoyne from RDR2
I find the steam version to be very much stable compared to disk-version. Only had one "crash" in... app. 25hrs actual gametime!
ASMR Simcity video! The Voice!!!
Create a shortcut to Sim City 4 and then add -w to the end of the target path.
I haven't crashed since -- before I was crashing on Windows 7 64-bit numerous times.
They should incorporate Sim City 4 rules into real life. Tax cap of 20%. 15% causes major demand crash
its great but can you turn your mic volume up and the background music down a bit
your voice is very soothing
the question you should first ask is
Will it blend?
Your voice is like
+Jake Helton Damn right you are!
😍
damn you killing em on them taxes
32-52% in NL. 52% for every euro earned above about 50.000.
I liked your video!
Here's a tutorial I need. HOW DO YOU GET THE GAME TO RUN SO GOOD???
I have a new Alienware with an NVidia graphics card. How in the world is this game running bad??? Any advice for running the game on a new machine?
There are at least a couple must-haves that dramatically improve the experience and which should come standard, such as that particularly popular one that adds roundabouts and such.
Run it in compatibility mode for vista sp2 and make sure it also runs as administrator. Should be good.
Bu müzikler simcity 4 deluxe version önceki yüklemenin müzikleri. Aynı oyunun yeni yüklemesinde bu müzikler değil klasik simcity müzikleri geldi.
My game might be bugged. It offered me a university at 12,000 pop? The choice for solar was there about 10 min ago but gone now. Was this version of Simcity 4 deluxe bugged in any way?

The best way to make a successful city is to use special cheats to not need power and water and to fund everything to the max. Financially wise you loose money but with time it all balances out.
And to keep taxes to the default of 9%
Whats the first song called; the classical one?
Just wondering.
What does the water has to do with growth tho? I dont really understand, can someone help?
Btw ur voice is so soothing :D
what is the relation of the size of the terrain with the size of the buildings that will appear there?
You may try putting your Sims into low waelth houses and see what they would tell you~
My first time playing a simcity game. I'm doing pretty good,no skyscrapers yet. I was thinking what would happen with a wasteland neighbouring city(heavy pollution Dirty Industry, Low Income).
Once you have a Utopia it get kind of boring, do the cities every fight other cities? Would a slum have the option to occupy a Wealthy city?
ok so i have heard a lot of mixed comments about running this in windows 7, will it work if i play this on 7?
Mods aren't necessarily cheats, dude. I use the NAM too. unless you get like demand mods then they aren't cheating.
@cookie0ish Wow, fast. Hope it's worth the wait. Mostly explination as not to be accused of cheating.
Tip: next time make sure the game volume is quieter than your voice volume cause I can't here you most of the time with the game volume louder than your actual voice.
what does high density low wealth look like?
What's the name of the first song; the classical one?
is there a mod or something to make this use multicores?
I earned about 15 mil so far from mostly my medium and low wealth residents. I have around population of 100k as of now. I'm reaching the point where I will have tough time building skyscrapers.
try to set the affinity of the process to one core only, it'll remove the lag and depend only on 1 core
The only complaint - the music is too loud, it's difficult to hear you.
will it work on the chrome book?
Do you actually listen to the music?
