Unsatisified Sims
I was on here back in August and found that my version of SimCity is not popular I am using Sim City Cities of Tomorrow Expansion Pack. I've been having a lot of fun with it but have a question rel...
! cannot begin to tell you how helpful and generous you have been. It gives me hope for our future as a nation that there are still friendly and cordial people like you out there. I have no idea as to your age, I just turned 80 this month.
When you first helped me back in August I took your three to one ratio to heart. I would have four blocks of equal size together, one block would be commercial and the other three residential. I've since began designating the 3 to 1 by drawing the commercial in 3 to 1 within one block. Also, I think I have discovered the importance of public transportation with in a city using shuttle and trolley. It also helps with fire suppression.
I have torn down and started from scratch numerous times and each time seems I get better at it. My population panels look remarkably similar to yours so I must be on the right track.
The thing I am wrestling with now is specialization of cities. I've been able to to use tourist effectively. Using Mega Factories leads to a never ending scramble for oil and raw ore but it pays really well. I am going to try science and research next. Working on that now.
Anyway thank you again for your invaluable and generous help.

@bloomlwold - Thank you so much for your incredibly nice message, you've made my year. It sounds to me like you're an expert now!
Congrats on the tourism specialty, I struggled with that one in particular early on. I love exploring all the different specialties. Good luck on your newest venture.
Have a safe and Happy New Year!
