Plugin Conflict Making My Game Crash

[firefoxsilver9 0]

Hi/ I've recently been downloading some plugins for SimCity 4 Deluxe and now all of a sudden when i start playing a city i've recently begin working on, my game crashes about 5-10 mins in. I've been downloading the plugins at a steady pace according to category (Commercial one day, civics the next etc.). after downloading a few plugins i'll start playing the game. I've just been experiencing the crashes recently which leads me to believe it has to be a plugin conflict. Is there anyway to try and figure out which plugin is causing the issue without having to manually remove and add each one to my folder one-by-one? Thanks.

Windows 7

also here's a recent debug report. don't know if that helps

Manually sorting your plugins is the only way, sorry.  

[tungston 19]

There is a "stickie" at the top of this forum, How to: Identify faulty plugins.

Also you might benefit from installing the game update patch.

[CaptCity 4,695]

You might use the half-in half-out method and start with the most recent ones, if you know what they were. Also, it looks like you have the original Deluxe version of the game (1.1.610.0). Have you ever applied the game patch for it to get up to version .638 (and .640 with the night light patch)? I'm not saying this is causing your crashes, but it could help with other things. Just a thought...

EDIT: Tungston's a faster typer than I am...
