--- Getting started ---
Custom resolutions can be achieved though editing shortcuts. Stability can be improved by setting the CPU core count to one. It is highly recommended to do this.

Example:
"C:\Programs\Sim City 4\SimCity4.exe" intro:off -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32 -d:software -f -CPUcount:1

Install the Network Addon Mod (NAM) - this fixes and enhances the transportation system in SC4. This is a *must have mod*, even if you want to remain as vanilla as possible.

Read oldshoes' Trufax series (http://www.oldshoes.ca/simcity-4)

Install any mod packs you like (though only one pack at a time as mod conflicts may arise) listed below.
