Is there a good tutorial which explains sim city 4 game mechanics and logic? And I am talking about detailed explanation which might as well come from reverse engineering game code. Nitty gritty stuff like how much traffic X zone creates, pathfinding, how game calculates unemployment etc.

Gamefaqs has some excellent in depth guides.
You can always learn by playing it instead of reading an autistic document...
for a more serious answer, download the Network Addon Mod, the documentation there explains the changes most of the time.
Also something like the traffic control mod that comes with the nam explains shit like sim routing to work, taking public transport instead of own cars, etc
the vanilla sc4manual is written like a reddit post that explains shit. Grand rail station, oh, ain't life grand!
Look up the oldshoes guides. That's all you need
Do be weary about building your cities in a loop because it can cause the a bug in where your sims get stuck in traffic because they were looking for a job.
That's only if you connect to other region plots.
oh snap, I think it happened to me today. I had three regions connected and in one of them I had constant unemployment problem.

This has a lot of information
There's some bugs in the game that require mods to fix though. For example, high tech industry doesn't provide ANY jobs for high wealth sims, even though it's supposed to.
Thanks for the recommendation, friendo. I'll dump my guides. Pleas keep in mind these are now over a decade old, and the plugin pack mentioned might not exist.
However, I do have a "new" plugin pack you can download here:

All you need to do is download NAM separately. That is a MUST. The plugin pack just adds more building variety and detailing.
