Highly Recommended Mods?

[Slyguy3129 5]

How are you Gentlemen?

It has been a very long time since I've played SC4 and I'm am currently reinstalling it to give it another go.

My question is what mods are absolutely essiential to play SC4 (With RH of course).

Are there any mod packs (all of the essential mods in one download?)

I found the NAM and RHW mod FAQ and am trying to download it. Unfortunately RAM Single Track Rail mod is only availiable at LEX? But when I click on it there is no download link to it. It gives a picture and mess and comments and other mess but nothing to click on to download it.

Anyways thanks for the help and am looking forward to getting to know my fellow Mayors!

ok for the mods, i think its more up to what kind of city you whant to build, there are some awsome mods and plugins but some are futuristic or old, so it would largelly be up to what kind of city your planing. For general moding always nice to have some aditional trees and maybe the RVT costal mode to change the apearence of our coast (no mater the tipe of coty this would look nice)

In case of the Lex, are you registered? it alows to see files to un.registered users, but the download link is only visible to registered (and loged in) users.

No I'm not registered and I hate having to register just to download something.

But I guess I will.

I was really just planning on building a normal region. You know suburbs, Industry, City, etc. I like the NAM and RHM mods and have those now.

Basically something that would just give my City more Flavour. Like Different parks, or different buildings that I do not have to place ect.

Well, theere is a whole bunch of high-quality SimCity stuff on the LEX, so I suggest to register there anyway. Stuff on the LEX is tested before it's produced there (unlike the STEX, where everyone can put files on the exchange).

What about mods that add old Simcity Music to the game? Preferably SC2k? There is one theme in the game that if you listen closely it sounds alot like what you used to here in SC2k. Ah man the good ol'e days.

Thanks for all the replies guys! Sorry about the multiple post admin, I'll make sure I utilize the edit button more frequently!

well SC$ does let you have custom music, so if cou can find a Mp3 of that music you can put it in your maxis folder, unde mayor-->radio stations.. there is a tutorial in the omnibus about placing custum music. About the mods, well there are like stated before.. tons of them, what i usually do is take some time to navigate, or search for especifics, like Co$$ or CO$$$.. and see what comes up that looks nice, read the reviews and see the rating and then i download. There are lots of good bat'ers out there, just have to take out some of your time to look arround.

NAM is bassicly the only one I use aside from building mods.

[Slyguy3129 5]

Thanks for the replaies guy I'm going to browse around and find a few bat packs and see what they are like!

Thanks asteconn.

BTW a bit off topic but would that be your Delorean by chance? If so, you lucky lucky bastard, I have wanted one of those since I was a kid. Luckily the DMC is in Houston Tx now rebuilding them! Hopefully will get one in the.......future.

EDIT: i have download NAM/RHW/SAM/ and the little mods that go with that.

I have alos downloaded basically I downloaded all the mods you have listed. But now for some reason I can't get anything to develope on streets. What I mean is that I will just start a city, and great a power plant and then build some industry then move up the road a bit and make a crossroads and from that make little suburb like streets. Then I will fill those streets with RES. The problem is maybe out of 15 lots, only 3-5 will develope (on the streets mind you.) But if I were to put them on a road or build over the street with a road they instantly build.

I do not remember SC4 bieng this hard to mod back in the day. Seems like I remember a good tool to use to load plugin. Not the DAT Packer, I tried that and I don't even know what it does. Not the Plugin for Region Manager, but something that let me determine the order in which mods were loaded. I'm guessing that may be my problem now since I just uzipped all the files into my Plugins Folder from the main directory.

Honestly the mod read-me's are not any help just, unzip and go or unzip in plugins and go but that doesn't seem to work. Can anyone please help me?

EDIT#2:*Resolved*: Strange, I backed out all of the mods that I had save NAM (because it was functioning properly with NAM) and loaded them one at a time to see which mod it was that was giving me the problem. One by one loaded and none did . Everything works fine now, it may have simply been that I had loaded something out of order, but its fixed now all is go.

I think I've figured out what it is that I'm looking for. Pretty much I'm looking for mods that add new growable buildings to the game.

When searching the STEX which catagory should I look under? Also is there like a MEGA pack that I can download? I do not really want to download all these new buildings one at a time if I can find a pack with alot of them in one download.
