Cannot see Maxis buildings.

[longshoreman26 1]

I cannot see any Maxis buildings inside on the bat's I've downloaded but they appear fine in zoned lots and such.  For example on the Woodworks University bat

seen here:

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=1818.

I can see the textures but no buildings.  Please help

Title fixed.  Please do not SHOUT.  NOB.

Is this problem for all your buildings? or just the university.

Longshoreman:

Do you have both bldgprop_vol1.dat, and vol2?

[longshoreman26 1]

No i do not have bldgprop_vol1.dat and i'm not sure what vol2 is??? This is a problem for all bats I download from the STEX that use maxis buildings in whole or in part. The promenade lot will not work either.

Those Props are found at simcity.com

Longshoreman:

The two files both have the same name, except for vol 1&2. They are found on the Lot Editor page at simcity.ea.com.

Here's vol 01 of the building props and here's vol 02.  The only thing is that "volume 1" is actually called "sim city 4 bldg props" and "volume 2" is called "rush hour bldg props".

Those are the names on the download page, once you have downloaded them they are bldgprop_vol1.dat, and bldgprop_vol2.dat.

You must be registered, and logged in to be able to download the files.

If you are not registered then look for the stickie, "Get your Maxis files here" that links to Zelgadis's Mac page, you can download them there.  The stickie is on the Simcity 4 General Disscusion forum.

I have a similar issue.  I just noticed that some parks are "flat".  They have texture, but no props.

I downloaded bldgprop_vol1 and vol2, and I put them in the plugins folder.  I started a new city and... still flat.

What am I doing wrong?

p.s.  I had downloaded several plugins, but I've moved them all out except for NAM and holedigger, and deadwoods bus stops.  I don't see how they would interfere with anything, though.

edit:  it looks like the "prop pox" discussed in the following thread:

https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=1201.60

However, it happens to Maxis tiles like the small park, small flower garden and play ground when I start a new city.  In the prop pox thread it seems as if the problem is related to removing a plugin wihtout first demolishing all the old instances.  Obviously that can't happen with a brand new city.

edit:  Solved!!!!

I changed some graphics options: software rendering, everything else to medium.  Now the parks have props again!
