  I am obviously using the most recent BSC 2026a version, as well as the SimGoober industrials collection from April 23rd. The Query UI exemplar is 0x4FA1B663 for both the growable and ploppable buildings. But that query exemplar is not located in the lot files (PLOP_3x4_SG_SmallWarehouses_IM.dat orSG_WarehouseSmall_IM_GROW.dat) , nor the model files (SG Models IM1 v3.dat or SG Models IM2 v3.dat) nor is it in BSC Essentials v2026a.dat. I think you missed this, and now I wonder if others are missing. I just happened to click on that building yesterday and nothing came up.
- Negative Mayor rating bug - Is it stuck?

  I have not made any DLLs that fix a mayor rating bug, but it wouldn't be hard to make one if this is a common bug. My Query UI Extensions DLL has mayor rating as part of its extended terrain query, I am curious what the cell numbers would be on that map. One thing you could try after making a backup of the save game and clearing the tile is opening it in the Reader and deleting the entry with the type id 0x0990bdd8. This would remove the aura simulator data from the save. Clearing the tile is necessary to keep the game state from going out of sync, as the aura simulation is being reset to its Establish City state.

  Thanks for the reply @CorinaMarie! It does sound like it could be something like this. I can confirm it's neither canal pieces or embankment walls because I haven't used any of those. I may have to go back and think of what I put in the map when building it and deleted, adding them into a new map and deleting them one by one... or adding them back in to see if it bumps it up again! I don't know if it makes a difference, but I didn't run the game (i.e. gain a population or rating) before the rating went negative - it just went there right off the bat.

  This really, really sounds like a bug @11241036 (iirc) described one time. I believe that was tied to some embankment wall with a super high park or landmark aura per piece. When bulldozing them en masse, the game gets confuzzled on reversing that, slips a gear, and sets something internal to a hug negative. Your case might be similar or the same if you've used and bulldozed embankment walls. Or was it canal pieces? (I'm forgetting the details. And it might be one @Null 45 made a fix for? I know they did for runaway pollution.)

  So I built a city over the last few days, and the mayor rating is stuck around -80 no matter what I do. I partially pre-built infrastructure before zoning and letting Sims move in, so I'd rather not scrap the map if I can help it, I put a lot of work into it - and I'm not sure if it could happen again! Here's what I've tried: My game is modded, but I have other cities running the same mod set with no rating issues. I did add a few new mods/lots in the last day. I tested them in my other (unaffected) cities - no negative effect on rating, nice and green. I also removed the latest mods in bulk from my plugins and ran the game - did not rectify the issue. To isolate it further, I bulldozed/un-zoned everything on the map in question (above and below ground) until population and rating both hit 0, then rebuilt a small test town using only vanilla assets and setting taxes etc. to default. The moment population starts growing again, the rating tanks right back down. This is the strangest one as I am effectively starting a fresh map, yet I have tried starting a fresh map like this and the Mayor rating behaves normally! The Mayor rating window doesn't show anything unusual. Perhaps my citizens seem to be more sensitive to pollution than normal? But even when I rectify that - i.e. garbage in neighbouring city, clean energy only, spamming trees in god mode to get a very good environmental rating, it still does nothing? So it seems tied to this specific city save rather than any mod, lot, or my building choices. Has anyone seen this before, or know what else drives mayor rating that could get "stuck" like this at the save level? Thank you.
