I welcome any solutions people have found to this, and I assume creating highways etc might cut down.but implementing this takes LOTS of time and $$$.The 'sims' aspect of the game is retarded. Left to their own though, they will make a traffic jam like you've never SEEN. You can spend DAYS and DAYS tellign you citizens to take a certain path, but that would be mind-numbing. Transportation (even with the rush hour pack) still isn't quite right. SUre you can pause the game, but then your not making money.so whats the point?The second problem I find is the citizens inability to use the roads. there is ALWAYS a pressing matter that will take you away from what your doing. You can't simply sit back for a five minutes and watch your city grow, or plant some trees etc. I've been playing on and off for a few years now and overall, I really enjoy the game.There are some problems that make themselves apparent over time though.The biggest one is the amount of micromanagement you need. The game is fun, and you'll be able to get quite a bit done in 1/2 hour of play per session, and it's great to watch sections of your city develop a personality over time.The soundtrack is GREAT and a perfect compliment to 'mayoring' a city. I find the normal setting to be a good ballance, and not quite as sadistic as hard. Keep in mind there is a master difficulty level. A city that will make money isn't tough to do, but a clean, low traffic, low crime, well educated, high tech city that will make money can be hard. Its a good game, and make sure you get the version with the rush hour expansion (not sure what the mac version includes though)It's not HARD per say to make a city and have it make money, but it takes a lot of micromanagement, to keep it running smoothly.
