Hi guys, i just joined and i wud say this is a gr8 community of City Builders. I have some of mine too to show. Btw i downloaded the simmars beta patch. and first thing is that i didnt find any readme file. pls do include it with some instructions. well firstly this is wat i did i installed the files in the mydocuments->simcity 4->plugins folder. now the problem is that i love the new buildings and all but there was water(river) in my city and now all water is gone. and the ground is red. i dont want this. i still want to keep the new buildings and all but dont want the red ground. wud it do if i remove the folder called terrain frm the plugins folder? cant u guys make one whole map with a terrain that of mars so that we can build a city on that? rather than altering the current terrain.

I can't help you with that, but remember this project is in BETA.

I installed simmars, but i found out it changes the whole game, and want to remove it. I've reset the system and reinstalled simcity twice, but i can't get rid of it. Can you help me?

[AndisArt 2,067]

The files from BETA 1 are being copied in the Plugins folder of your SimCity instalation folder, NOT the one in the MyDocuments folder. Don't ask me why :-) I suggest to go to the folder where you installed (and I assume also re-installed) SimCity and delete the SimMars folder in the Plugins folder. Let me know if you have any more trouble with it.

Thanks for the advice, andisart, but it didn't help. I'm not sure which folder you mean by the SimCity installation folder, and couldn't find anything like it. Could you please tell me where the folder would be. I have searched the system for files with Simmars in their name, but nothing came up. Can i also suggest that in the final version, you include some way to choose which type of terrain you want when creating a new region.

program files/ Maxis/ Simcity4/ plugins. It should be there just delete anything to do with simmars

  Its suppose to be Mars I don't understand why you were surprised by the terrain.

 Will SimMars conflict with other cities that were made before SimMars installed?

[Constantina 5]

Hi,

It should not conflict. It is plugins folder-based, so all the SimMars files get installed to the (Program Files) Plugins folder.

[Red1530 1]

I want to know what will happen to my other regions built without SimMars.

[AndisArt 2,067]

I moved the topic to the SimMars - BETA forum.

The BETA is only a cosmetical mod and will not change any of your regions or cities.

You can use them the way they are. Only make sure that before re-installing the mod you delete all SimMars buildings, including the SimMars firestations or you will get trouble when reopening that city.

[Red1530 1]

I never had a prior version of SimMars

[ssc4k 1]

i installed beta and it was the regular simcity. i didnt even have red ground

[MarcosMX 222]

Mmmm that's weird, this problem is the most common, try restarting.

[Simen 1]

..theres been released a beta 2? *is confused now*

[ssc4k 1]

actually none of my plugins for simcity are working. it started about a week ago. ill try to reinstall it and se what happens

[truth_andrew_ 0]

beta works

[xmodgeek 0]

I had the same problem. If you have the deluxe version you have to redirect it when you install it because it will try to install to "simcity4".

[wolfeater92 0]

Im also having some trouble with sim mars. i get several buildings that say custom plopable and the ground is red but otherwise it is the same. Is this the way its supposed to be? becuase its pretty disapointing
