Ploppables and Nighttime

[micromanager 0]

Hello everyone,

I've downloaded a few ploppable buildings from simtropolis that help me add types of commercial jobs and increase the realism of my city. All of them work great, except for one aspect: in the nighttime, these buildings don't have any lights - they just remain dark. I've seen pictures of these buildings in the night with lights, so I think I might be missing something? If it helps, I have the following ploppable files:

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Ok, first thing first, you need the game update which is available on the maxis site, second I also have this same problem, i downloaded and installed the update but they still don't work!

is there anyway to tell if I need the update? I remember downloading an update before, but my computer crashed and I had to reinstall both programs (SC4 and rush hour) recently.

You also need the BAT update alongside this

You need the Rush Hour, or Deluxe version of the game, with the game update patch installed.  That will update the Simcity 4.exe to version 1.1.638.0.  Then you can install the SC4update4BAT.exe, that will update the exe to 1.1.640.0. 

You can find the game update patch, and the BAT update at simcity.ea.com, or some other SC4 sites that host it.
