 When I am plopping NEXIS BATs, the actual building does not appear - only the terain...  Do I have any problems with textures??  What do I need then to download??  In readme files nothing says about dependancies...

btw, all my graphic options are all on High...

I too am having a problem with a couple of Nexis lots that were part of the Nexis Uitiliies packages  (1 & 2) of 12/2003.  This problem just occured and supiciously after a Microsoft update.

Only a couple of files seem to be effected.  The one I really like and use is the Nexis Mayor.  The file now shows no extention. while others in the same download do.

If anyone can shed some light on the subject I will appreciate it.

Make sure you have included the .sc4model in the plugins folder.  A BAT lot must contain all of .sc4LOT, .sc4DESC, and .sc4MODEL.  This can all come in a single .dat file or be separated.

These were created just as sc4lot's the curious thing is that some of the lots in the packages mentioned are correctly reflected and work.  The subject Nexis Mayor continued to show in my region (no brown box) but it would not query or function. Additionally it no longer showed in my in-game menu.

Something has been stepped on in the game binary or the .dat files.  Save your regions, plugins, and delete the game, then re-intall it.  Make sure you have the Update 1 you need on a file and the BAT night lights update as well.  If you save these, you can reapply them without going to a site.

You must have the *maxis buildings as props* file from simcity4.com

Fred, I will check but, I am saying the file format changed on my computer. It/ they do not show as a SC4lot or dat file.  The file type is blank.

buckbeach, which Nexis  files are you talking about, maybe I can have a look and see what's missing. Some of the older ones (I was one of the first to upload lotfiles to the STEX 4 years ago) were made with a special Blanklot made by RaphaelNinja, maybe you need the file used for this.....?

See if you have the Buildings as Props 1+2 from simcity.com. Also make sure your have the "city detail" set to high, this can be done inside SC4

I have both bldgprop_vol1.dat and bldgprop_vol2.dat in Maxis\SimCity 4\Plugins. I also tried moving all detail levels to high, no change. I'm not sure what I would be missing.

Ok just a quick update. The build name is not always coming up as Nexis CopperCo. It comes up as Grundstrom Copper the first time I view it in another City. However the name is changes to Nexis CopperCo if I view the building again.  If I keep looking at different builds and then back it changes back and forth with the name and population.

I do have Grundstrom Copper buildings that are showing up fine in that city as well.

Any ideas?

You need to check out "Growing Empty Lots and How to correct them" Look under Bugs & Technical Issues.
