    1) is there some sort of mod where I can get skilled workers, execs and elites to not be fussy about school, safety etc in the city? Kind of like the commercial demand x60 mod. Or perhaps strategies I can use if I have infinite money and budget? Lay down many freight airports so i can get lots of trade tokens with omnicorp and import all the workers I want?

    2) where can I actually download someones' city? I remember doing this when i first discovered the game 10 years ago. There is one on the site, but the link is to onedrive/dropbox which is broken.

    I really like this sim, I hate the straight/diagonal only roads in sim city 4, and skylines is just... maybe too advanced. Feels too much like the sim city reboot in terms of style, like it's very small scale and micromanaging.

    2 question. i have read that you can download someones city but then you need to have the same mods and that is very complicated to do

    this i didn't us it, but i think it will help with freight and freight capacity.
    There is an airport mod (but i can't find it now) and the building from this pack it help your offices with passenger or what they need(sorry i don't have time to search in game)

    Thanks, all that is certainly a lot to look into. Since the game is so old, would it really matter which of these systems I run it on: i7 870 with gt 1030, or 5600x with rtx 3070? The i7 870 is my daily driver and I run sim city 4 on it, because I feel there's no benefit.

    I have I5 with 16 Gb RAM and GTX 970 and the game run smooth. I find very important to have SSD. When you have a big city and many mods the loading time is shorter. I had a big city and i waited 15 min to load with HDD and 5-7 min with SSD. What i think is very important: is to not zoom out to much or build very long bridge or street. Then the game start to lag. When this happens just save, get out in menu and load the game again. When you have a very big city is best to pause the game for 5 minute, build what you want, unpause let the building to grow and then pause again.
