The modern small fire station

This new building Mod replace the small fire station. I wish I can make the Mod as a new
Menu Item but on my end every tests crash the game or I get other issues.

 

I hope I can later fix that.

DONT FORGET TO RE-BUILD THE SMALL FIRE STATION!


FEATURES
- all LOD support
- new Lot size
- new layout of the ground texture
- new Light settings
- new garage building

For this building Mod I wrote a tutorial. The Tutorial show my steps.

If you notice any problems, please report them in the comments and I will look at the
issues as soon as possible.

Thank you for your support :)

#KNOWN ISSUES in single cities

 

- Garage enlargement don't show up
- Fire station can not be deleted from the city
 

This solution will not fix the problem, also in single cities will not work the trick.

1-delete the MOD "modern small fire station" from the SimCityData folder (... Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityData)
2.-start the game and create a new region, load an empty city
3.-place in the city, the small fire station (original by Maxis), save the game and exit the game
4.-copy again the MOD "modern small fire station" in the SimCityData folder (... Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityData)
5.-start the game and delete the previously created region, after deleting the region create again a new region
6.-load again an empty city, place the "modern small fire station", save the game and go back to the main menu
7. Go to region-overview, delete the region previously created
8.-Now you can load your city where the error was occurred.

You have to repeat this trick after each game restart. With exercise it takes less than 2 minutes. (I hope I can solve this problem later)

 

Many thanks go to Fr3akyGamesHD and Jürgen.

what if I have the small fire station already plopped and I don't want to switch it to the small modern fire station, will it get rid of the one already plopped?

You can also plopp the modern fire station without rebuild.
 
The only reason is for the rebuild method. I made a new lot size for the fire station and the garage enhancements will not flush with the main building.

Hey Fr3akyGamesHD,

danke für dein kommentar.

Lösche den Mod und kopiere dem Mod erneut in den ...Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityData Ordner.
Das problem ist mir bekannt, leider wird dadurch der Bug nicht gelöst. Ich wünschte ich könnte euch eine bessere lösen geben.
 

#ENGLSIH
Ey tobse the fire department is really cool but I have a small problem - every time I reload my region,
I can no longer expand the station or destroy the mod, no idea why. The Building Data Rollover show strange text like -value etc
(actually there are show the employee or vehicles Data)

---
Thank you for your comment.

Delete the mod and copy the mod again in the ... Origin Games \ SimCity \ SimCityData folder.
The problem is known to me, unfortunately the bug is not solved with this method. I wish I could give a better solution.

Danke :) ich hab's jz so gefixed - bevor ich das Spiel Starte , lösch ich dein Mod. Dann starte ich das Spiel und erstelle ne neue Region.. Dort wähle ich eine Stadt aus , platziere ne kleine Feuerwache , Speicher das Spiel ab und beende das Spiel.. Dann Pack ich deinen MOd wieder rein und starte das Spiel wieder - dann Hab ich die "neue Welt " von vor 2 min gelôscht und sofort wieder eine neue Welt erstellt . So Jz einfach das Feuerwehrhaus platzieren und es funkt wieder :) danach kannste die Welt wieder lôschen und auf deiner "Haupt Welt " spielen... Aber ich hab noch ne frage. Kann ich eig mehrere Polizeifahrzeuge gleichzeitig Moden ? Also da ich z.b das normale Polizei Auto durch mehrere ersetzen kann oder kann ich immer nur 1en Polizei Mod Fürs auto haben

FYI, this mod is one of only a few I've found so far that completely crashes SimCity Complete Edition for Mac (Mac App Store version). Game runs fine until you try to click on a placed Modern Small Fire Station (say, to add another fire truck or the alarm bell). Once it's clicked, it showed a broken info dialog with a message "Why am I unhappy?" overlaid on some other unreadable text, and shortly after this the game freezes and must be force quit.

I've removed this mod and the game is back to normal (although I had to delete the now-normal style fire station and plop a new one, as it was in a shut down state and couldn't be restarted).
