SimCity 4 Massive Port

Been working on a port in this location since 2018. Today I finally get to press play! Hope you enjoy the tour. growth and commentary!

Holy crap, A Haljackey video! And it's an hour long! **Grabs Popcorn**

[@TrickyMario7654]

I really wish Cities: Skylines had regions like you had in SimCity 4. I’ve had to instead pretend that the cities are all connected to each other using my imagination and freeway signs in Procedural Objects.

[@ATPHardenedGamerOtaku1990]

@TrickyMario7654 Yeah. It took Colossal Order 8 years to finish Cities: Skylines 1 w/all the DLC expansion packs, content creator packs & radio stations. God knows it'll probably take them the same time if not longer for them to finish Cities: Skylines 2 & who knows what DLC they'll have planned for it.

[@chongjunxiang3002]

In SC4 with mods and terrain makers, I can generated a huge region map, draw a huge mountain with long ranges in the middle of the map, gazette them as national park and eco tourism, with Aspen in snowy hills, and still have plenty of space for conventional city. I don't think CS is known for nature features play yet.

[@Eichward_SKV]

Oh yeah. New video and even with commentary. That´s an amazing region map.

[@UlisseWolf_SC4]

Excellent video and can be an excellent guide for a first approach toward building modular and custom ports. I now recommend that you install Heretic Seaport to take port building to the next level

[@1JasonBradly]

The port look amazing Hal! Thank for sharing

[@haljackey]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed

[@1JasonBradly]

Played this for over 11 years and love every minute of it. Always enjoy seeing what you have done here, thanks again. @@haljackey

[@metarvo917]

Excellent! I almost died laughing when that one building repeated so. many. times. Haha... for how much of this city is water (being that it is a port and all) it developed into a nice population center in its own right. Well done Haljackey.

[@Zetterbeard1]

haljackey is the SC4 GOAT and it's not even close

[@NervedMusic]

Love your vids! ❤

[@maedero05]

Great, seaport very nice logistcs ! Workable, the simulation basics only use one or two quais. I know you´re not so into specialities, so this might be as far, a custom airport north of the bay still a halt too far for now, little specialy but as you say youráre a grower and anything plopable influence the performance wich is paramount. A completly set up custom region takes so much time, everything so time consuming so much else to do !

[@josefrees]

Love sim city 4 this vid is going to make me dust it off isn’t it? Haha

[@haljackey]

Hahaha thanks! Welcome back

[@TheTerroristModz]

Hi, freight conductor here. You should consider building an actual railyard that accommodates all the traffic the port receives and distributes.

[@haljackey]

Yes I know... I thought about putting in a marshaling yard somewhere and despite the massive port I ran out of room. I can make it elsewhere however

[@MidnightNeonLabs]

Epic 😍

[@chongjunxiang3002]

I recall your map is about 25x25 large map. I forgot how big will that be like. Yes, it is huge...like you can play this map for your whole life, even your kids.

[@haljackey]

The Ring of Fire is something like 22x30 large tiles or something like that, 660 tiles total to open. It allows me to expand any way I want to. community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/761527-comparison-of-map-sizes-of-citybuilding-games/

[@BirbarianHomeGuard]

Might recommend emulating Harbor Island in Seattle…. Or the Port of Tacoma

[@charlesverrier9880]

Hello, what a great job !! I like your map : mountains, see, rivers, plains... Everything is there!! Where can we download it ? Thanks !

[@JoyMadrugada]

i miss that game and my pain was always i didnt have good pc to support the game

[@haljackey]

In 2003 I had a shiny new Pentium 4 and it ran ok vanilla.... been playing ever since

[@chuckufarly5]

a Mega region requires a Mega building series.

[@0ater]

I'm pretty sure you've shared one before but is there a modpack that you have publicly available?

[@haljackey]

Hi there! I have a list if that helps... last updated 2021 so it is a bit old however docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uDOBPfJT8M-jy6oSLocHfBoO3z2PHfrn31phWo05F3A/edit#gid=0

[@jamblanx]

you can give mod list?

[@lukerudderham]

where did you get a region that big im running out of room on mine

[@bluefox5934]

Does an SSD helps plugins to load fast?

[@haljackey]

Yes it does!

[@Burnzs]

holy this is rare 😮

[@susangoaway]

Have you been adding new mods throughout all these years? Wonder how big the mod folder is at this point.

[@haljackey]

Yes my plugins folder keeps growing. It's maybe 7GB now? I did a couple datpacks (see that video) to try and compress it a bit but I am used to the wait to load huge cities anyway- so a large plugin pack doesn't really add much to that time.

[@haljackey]

@@salatschleuder14I have never organized my plugins- started downloading in 2005. No issues when loading cities thankfully. Sorry to hear about your troubles
