One of the most frustrating games I have ever played.

[terry309]

I thought these types of games were supposed to be relaxing but no... no tutorials worth a damn, had to look up guides, tried to solve garbage problem with incinerators only for more people to leave because no one picks up dead people... I can't buy a crematorium... not enough people.

No matter what I do I keep on getting more and more into debt and there's literally no way to pull back out of this so I have to constantly reload the save, try again... only to have more problems.

Don't bother giving me advice, there's no point. I checked every guide already and all I can say is that this game annoying as hell to play.

♥♥♥♥ this game...

It is hard at first because there are no tutorials, that is the game's weak point. Even the wiki is not very helpful or detailed. There are still some things I don't understand after 180 hours but once you get the basics there's a lot of fun to be had experimenting and learning how it works on your own.

There is an option to play with unlimited money, you'll still see if your city is making a profit or not so you can learn as you go on.

Yes, this game is tough. It's not designed to be Photoshop.

A few hints I learned.

Build education first thing, first two things actually. After starting your first starter buildings (power, water, sewage). Schools not only pay for themselves, I'm convinced they make huge profits.

Once you get in making profit. Hit the x3 speed button so you can make money faster than you build.

At start you don't need a cemetery, as only young people move in, so no one dies for 5-years.

You also don't need health care at all, as cims don't get sick. They only get poisoned. (Keep water, noise, and ground pollution away from residential to avoid poisoning)

fire and police can belayed for a dew milestones, as only a few cims will die and abandoned. Abandoned buildings will reoccupy fairly quickly. Wait until it starts becoming an epidemic. Educated cims commit less crime and fires, so they can actually be cured before they abandoned.

Educated cims also use less power and water and can delay you adding more water and power buildings.

Man I wonder how much rage you would have on Sim City 4. RCI, windmills and fire stations are all you really need at the start. Later before you get a crematorium you can just build 2 cemeteries and be all set for years. Landfills will get you through the early game till incinerators come out. Once they do just empty each landfill one at a time. If a cemetery or landfill gets full just turn them off to save money.

I already have 7 landfills and 2 incinerators, I tried adding more incinerators... I have 3 cemetaries, none of which are full and people are complaining that no one picks up the dead.

I also have schools and universities as well.

I don't know why you would tell me these things...

All I see is 1000 people leave in an instant and when I lower their taxes they keep leaving, nothing seems to work.

I guess city building games aren't your thing. Move over to something you enjoy.

My guess:
Did you build the landfill and/or incenerators close to your residentials? Check your soil pollution, if your residentials (and commercial too?) are built over polluted soil, or if your water comes from polluted water, a LOT of your people will get sick, then die, overloading your health/death care, causing lots of people to leave.

This impression is kind of weird in certain ways because this is a simulation strategy game. Games in this genre aren't necessarily relaxing by default, but they often become such once you come to terms with them.

Terry, unless you post pics of your city, we can not tell you how to fix it. check traffic, road ways, did you use the battery method, does everyone have water, elec,sewage?(those three are Key)

i go with recycling not land fill, that way i can make money off the recycling.

There are alot of things that can make a city fail, picking up the dead is not one of them. well not at first.

I'm not that stupid... I built them miles away... and that's the issue.

Well I gave this game another go... I swear, the more I play this game, the more depressed and angry it makes me. I'm uninstalling this piece of trash... hands down one of the worst games I have ever played it my life. I'm going back to Prison Architect... an actual fun simulation game that doesn't make me want to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bang my head against a hard object every time I play it... unlike this game.
