Wow. Everyone's filesizes are huge. Otahita is only 10.6 MB, yet the layout is gargtuan (18 miles across), about 36 moderately detailed buildings, all with different textures, plus a wind farm, a massive grid, two very detailed bridges, not to mention the long freeway. Yet it's only 10.6 MB. How the? Maybe because there's so few trees.
i think it may have something to do with PC specs , i know that if your PC uses 'MS-Vista' you need to have a more powerfull computer to run sketchup properly , maybe that has something to do with it?
yeah , tell me about it thats part of the reason i ditched my first city (apart from it was crap) the hills added about 20mb , and they looked shithouse anyway
your hills are nicely done and worth it though
My hills aren't 'hills,' per se, more like inclined roads that give the illusion thereof.

The file size doesn't have anything to do with the physical size of the model, only the complexity (number of faces, polys). Think that City City II is probably about 150-200 detailed buildings and bridges right now, plus geography and vegetation.
It must be the textures, the bigger they are, the more space they take up? Honsely Staunton's textures are very small, and dont look too good up close.
