Brown boxes are caused by a lack of dependencies.

Dependencies are extra little downloads (like textures or props) that are required to make the main file work properly, but don't come bundled with it.

They are usually linked to in the README or Online Description of the main file.

Install them as you would anything else (unzip to My Documents/Sim City 4/Plugins).

You may also need the Official Maxis Props, bldgprop_vol1.dat and bldgprop_vol2.dat, which can be found here: http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/wa/default?user=zelgadis&templatefn=FileSharing1.html

Remember you need Sim City 4 Rush Hour or Sim City 4 Deluxe for most of the downloads to work.
