Power connection issues between cities

[V3n0urS]

Hi guys,

I tried to connect a third city to my industrial town with coal plants but it's a failure and I don't know what else to do.
I have the physical game and I remember playing like this before but since I installed the steam edition iam not able to link my cities anymore.

I only have the latest version of NAM installed with the stock game.

Here is my problem :

So, LouBay and Grey Wish both asked if you would like to connect when you drew the power lines to the border?

Hello,

Yes, I've been asked if I wanted to make the connection when making the link with the power lines.
Edit : iam going to do it all over again just in case.

Thank you.

Hey,

Finaly I tried everything from scratch...

and I couldn't even connect a single city ^^

I gave up, I want to play, enjoy and have fun.

I guess I will have to give power to each city individually for ever since there are no neighbor deals available.

Bye bye.

Well Neighbor deals don't just fall in your lap either. You have to make the connection and then wait for some time and your sims have to feel the need for the neighbor's resources.

The potential buyer city also needs enough money to be able to pay for the first month at least. These deals get canceled automatically if your balance falls too low.

Ok thank you for these tips,

I will stick with a gaz plant in each city for a while and retry to connect my industrial town later.

Let's build and have fun !

Bye ^^

If all the power stations have only half a light bulb like the one you clicked, you dont have enough surplus to make another neighbour deal, Turn them up and the advisor will give the option to sell to another city.

Another option is open that second city unpause an wait, u will get an option in the white box from your advisor to buy from a neighbour. whtch out though as if you spend too much and carn't afford to pay the deal stops. you could also build a single windmill power plant while u wait.

That was it. I made the mistake to adjuct the power way too early. Once you know that it works like it should from the start !

Thanks to everyone for the help ! I have so much fun ^^

Bye bye.
