how do u like 2 build ur cities? cheats or no cheats.

umm... cheats :) . But only when neccesary. only weaknesspays to get a certain goal.

i like to build mine more realistic and not a too griddy roadnet and i do not want skyscrapers all over the place

no cheats for me.

i never really need them though so i never think about using them.

Realistically, with mixed zoning and 4x4 blocks.

I am really a bad city maker. I use the cash park, I have an awful grid system, and I have trashy midrises all over. I think I may delete my beloved "Maloni'hi Bay" Region, and recreate "Boise".

No cheats. I just do it all my way. Oooh, and tons of BATs!

Traffic Cop doesnt count as a cheat?

Cheat or not who cares, its your city do what u want. I personally dont use them but would if i wanted to. I've considered a traffic mod to get the people to use highways more or something, but as of yet I'll make due. I build my region semi realistic. I say "semi" because it does have a heavy density part of the region with lots of skyscrapers, and some parts are a bit griddy, but each individual city is dynamic and whatever goes, goes. I try to spread out the region with a high density downtown, then go to medium rises, then down to small houses, etc. I also like to use the wonderful BAT files people have made. Big thanks to the people like dusktrooper that allow us to make unique cities based on each of our own creative personalities.

I don't cheat, but I use mods to make the game more realistic ( e.g. industry quadrupaler.) I use to make my cities all gridy, but that got real boring, so I have started using irregular shapes and diagonal roads. I can't wait to finish filling up my city of Cilanor, so I can show what my cities are like.

I don't use cheats unless if it's something really good. So take it that I don't cheat in Sim City 4. :)

i only use cheats when i really REALLY need some money :)
