Radical Ordinance Mod and Health Issues?

[singapore65 0]

Hi,

I've been encountering some problems with my Simcity 4 Rush Hour and was hoping that you great guys here can help.

A few weeks ago, I downloaded the Radical Ordinance Mod and used it in my game. It worked well, until I decided to remove it from my game yesterday. Since then, there seems to be a bug that is stuck to the game.

The healthcare ambulance's budget cannot be raised. Everytime I raise it, a few minutes after closing the window, it goes back down to zero. This is really affecting my gameplay as my city won't grow due to poor healthcare. I'm hoping that there really is a fix to this but.

Please please help...

PS. I am not so sure if it really the Radical Ordinance Mod, but i didn't have this problem before installing it. I did not download any other mod during the period of using Radical Ordinance mod.

Sounds like you might have the Phantom Funding Sliders Bug (see more here - Ripplejets post). Did you plop any medical facilities while the mod was in your game? And any after taking it out? You can read the mentioned thread, but basically I think this might get it fixed...

First, delete any new medical lots you plopped after taking the mod out (only those). Second, put the mod back in and then delete those that you placed with the mod (only those, not any before using the mod). Then remove the mod.

If all goes as planned, the city may return to normal. However, if things have gotten mixed up or you don't remember the sequence of the lots, then things may not be repairable.

Of course, if you did not plop any medical lots with the mod, this doesn't apply, but you may have used another mod. Also, the same thing could happen for other civic lots with sliders. Might want to check those.

I know this is a little confusing, but I hope it helps...

First of all, thanks for your reply...

I suspect that that may indeed be the problem. I tried to do the suggested steps you advised by removing the buildings affected as far as I can remember. However, it still does not seem to work.

Is there no other solution like a downloadable mod to fix this or anything?

Unfortunately, there isn't. My understanding is if you've saved the city after taking the mod out and things get scrambled, it's real difficult to sort it out.

I have the same exact problem. Mine happened in pretty much every city I owened at the time and with all the civics: police and fire departments, schools and electricity (somehow whater department was not afected). The real problem is that, after that I've redone my cities from scratch, erased plugins, cloned cities and redone them again. Today I was messing with an oldie of mine and found that in the police expenditure, in the economy 'tab', there as a police station called 'error: no name' I finaly got my head around it and searched for the cause and possible solutions. It appears i was around 4years too late.... the damn departments will continue to come back to 0funding.... Ho well... *sniff* There should me a disclamer on the radical ordinances modd and modds alike. When somebody finaly find a solution to the problem please, don't exitate to pm me

Hi everyone.

About the Phantom Funding Sliders Bug I did my research and found some interesting things. I've posted all about my experiments here. Check it out and comment on it
