Greetings from Jacksonville, a growing Metropolis!

#1

Post by Bulldozerman185 »

I guess since this is my second actual post on the TheoTown forums, and since there's no "Introduce Yourself" forum anywhere that I can find (Maybe I didn't look hard enough), I guess I can go ahead and formerly introduce myself here.

The name's Bulldozerman185, and I guess you might call me an old veteran of the city building genre. Since I was a 6-year-old playing SimCity Classic on Windows XP and on Super Nintendo, I've been playing these games, and with over 20 years of Mayoral experience under my belt, having played every game in the genre from SimCity Classic to SimCity 4 and beyond, and having graduated Dr. Wright's School For Gifted Mayors with the highest honors, I think I've got what it takes to design a city that is both appealing to the eye and profitable.

Such is the case with Jacksonville here. The town is still slowly expanding outward and won't be completed anytime soon, but it's already become a Metropolis, so I'd say it's well on it's way to Megalopolis status. We'll have to see if I can get there with this big river in my way!

So, on that note, it's a pleasure to meet all of you, and here's to a long and amazing career together as Mayor's! If I happen to meet anyone whose looking to play the game for the first time, or who may be new and inexperienced with the genre, I'll definitely do my best to show them the ropes and get them acquainted with the genre. Just like a certain Dr. Wright did for me 20 years ago. Heh heh.

Originally, I wanted to show off my mega city of Izoold, the first town I ever played in this game that managed to reach 1 million residents, but unfortunately I had the displeasure of learning that something went horribly wrong with it while I was transitioning from the mobile version of the game to the PC release, because the city will no longer load in; It keeps triggering a exception error and crashing. This doesn't surprise me seeing as how it was made on mobile and was later brought over to PC, and had a bunch of plugins thrown at it that it probably wasn't ready for, but after spending over 1,000 diamonds developing it on mobile, it kind of hurts to have lost it. I guess it just grew to the point that the game couldn't support it anymore.

Oh well. Rest in peace, my 1 million habitat friend. Perhaps your time to shine will come some other day.

For your images to show here, you have to go to that website and open each image in a new tab and copy that url link and paste it here. Or alternatively, just upload the images here under the Attachments button.

Note, I removed the initial "[" so that the address would show in the quote.

Thanks for the tip. Looks like those snapshots are good to go now.

I'm assuming you're referring to the plugins that caused my city of Izoold to quit working. I'm not entirely sure which one caused it to break down, but I do have one or two theories. What's weird is that I've since loaded up other large cities and haven't had any technical problems occur, let alone any game crashes, so I'm clueless as to what broke down.

I guess it doesn't matter in the end, since I'm not focused on Izoold right now. And truth be told, I probably am going to put together another Giant-sized city eventually, anyway. So I'm not going to cry over spilt milk.
