Mod non-existant?

[thegynophile 0]

Well, just as the title says, I installed the NAM, and nothing happened. Opened the game, and there's nothing new in the menues.

I'm running SC4 Deluxe on Windows Vista.

I suspect it may simply have not put the files into the plugins folder, but I can't fine them anywhere else. Where are they installed to by default so I can check?

They would be in a subfolder of the Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins

I don't see them, which is odd because I just installed it.

The only files there are backgrounds.

I searched for one of the files from the txt doc that came with the mod, but got no hits. Weird. It's like it didn't even install the files. o_O

Would I need to restart my comp after the installation to make stuff show up and work in game?

Try re-installing, that's usually a good way to start.

Yeah I'll have to try that, I guess. Unfortunately I'll have to wait til Monday when my rents get back in town. Dad's the admin on this computer.

If you are looking in the plugins folder that contain the background images, ;you are looking in the wrong folder.  The background images are in the Progam Files plugins folder, not the Documents plugins folder.

I don't think you need to reinstall the game,   You would only need to start the game, not restart the computer.

Yeah I checked every Sim City folder on my comp but didn't see them. Nothing changes when I start the game. Still vanilla.

I'm going to try reinstalling the mod today and see if that works.

Nothing is in [user]\Documents\\SimCity 4\Plugins?

I reinstalled the mod and discovered that instead of installing to [user X]\Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins like I wanted, it sent it to same folder on the ADMIN profile.

Reinstalled the mod and sent it to the right directory and it all works fine now.

I was wondering also though, is there a complete list anywhere of all the features included in the NAM? I've noticed things like canals and special buildings for the center of circles/roundabouts in some videos, but I don't think they're included with the mod. Even so, I don't want to waste my time or my dad's installing any mods that would be redundant.

So, I can has list?

what is the file type your mod needs to be in so it will work?
