driveways and paking lots disappearing

[Json3000 0]

I played game yesterday and everything was good. Today I downloaded a few things off the stex (blam stuff, and super demand mod) that have since been unloaded. When I turn the game on and plop a house (high wealth) the house shows up and instead of flora and the driveways around it, it sets on a green lot, with no road access. Same goes for commercial stuff that I plop. They show up on plaza tiles. Anyone know what is going on, or if its something I downloaded?

Sounds like you're missing some dependencies...try to locate the stuff you've downloaded already from the STEX, and see in the Readme file what (probably texture) files are you missing.

the problem with that is the stuff that I am trying to plop are regular maxis lots, not stuff off the stex...by the way I am running rush hour on vista....(just seen where I need to say that)

Just in case, check the graphics option in the game, they should be medium, or high, other wise some props are not shown.

its not the graphics options. its just like certain houses, maxis only, that grow up, have no driveways or props in them. its the house setting on a lot of grass.

Then try unistalling the recent custom content, and hope they haven't done permanent damage.

Hello, I'm new to a lot of custom content, and I have the same problem after recently installing many new files..! Any ideas what would cause this bug?

what have you recently installed? maybe we can see if we have a common bad file

[leon_civale 0]

The problem is all residentials (and perhaps other zones I have not noticed) don't have driveaways, and no props appear in gardens etc..

Here is a summary of what I installed today....

It is mostly industry lots?!?

Most of the Jestarr BSC industries and JMyers Industries

Nylon Plant

Hydrogen Peroxide Plant

NUTS essentials/dependancy

SG industrial lots

JFM manufacturing and industrials

I actually dont have a single one of those lots...very strange...I guess I am just going to uninstall everything( Ihave copies of all my plugins) and go back through and re-install each one on-by-one, to see if I can find what happened. I'll let you know if I get anywhere.

This sucks by the way

Sort of off topic, but still on topic I guess. It seems a lot of TOP uploaders have decided to pull dependecie packs from this site. That means all new downloaders are screwed. If someone has pulled props and other needed files then the modds should pull ALL of their files that require the files that the uploader has pulled. Running these files with out the needed props and dependecies can cause problems in your game as well as your computer. I have many SIM GOOBER files that arn't complete because he or some one with him decided to pull dependecies off the STX. Now if I click on his buildings my game shuts off and causes a crash. Is anyone else having this problem? Ive gone as far as regestering at the LEX site and have no way of down loading anything unless ( it seems ) I pay to use their site. Being some one who has sent money to the STX but lost my disk's, it burns y ass that now I have a ton of usless building files with no way to get dependenies. BSC Texture Pack Vol2 is one major files that has been pulled for some reason... Most of the BSC files wont work with out it and guess what ... if you dont have it already YOU CANT GET IT NOW. If some one has an answer to this could you private message me?

You must register at the LEX [other than SC4D] site to be able to download, have you tried that?

I'm having the lost driveway problem....my graphics are on high, no help.

[dakskier01 0]

The same thing just happened to me. It happened from downloading the Pegasus mountain theme pack. I deleted the file to no avail, sounds like i am going to need to re install everything.

[crazykid4simcity 1]

Are ALL the graphics on high? In order to see all the props of buildings and such, you need to set the "City Detail" to high.

Yes, i wanted to get lights on my new plops i got from this website. Downloaded the Ep1/Ep2 updates, and boom: driveways on only maxis residential and commercial stuff vanish. So now im downloading different houses. However it happens to the Clinic, Police Station, and Fire House... But I saw a very advanced player with the same prob, no diveway/cars in the police station: Bixel, the guy who does the HK buildings and is with the Asia Bat Team...

[dman10257 2]

YES, i fixed it. Appearantly, open your game, and set the settings back to default, then restart the game, everything comes back! If it doesn't good luck!

This happened to me also, but it happened when I removed the Snow Mod to play in non-snow mode. Any suggestions?
