Darknite?

[i<3thisgame 2]

Hey guys,

I've seen many of the darknite cities and buildings and it looked absolutely amazing. I wanted to also have a city like that so I downloaded SimFox(right?)'s Day Nite Mod and put it in my plugins. It worked and the nighttime view looked a lot darker and better. Then I downloaded several darknite buildings and also put them in the plugins, but when I loaded simcity and put down the building... nothing happened. no lights... I tried saving then reloading, restarting the game, reinstalling it, redownloading it but nothing seemed to work.... Anyone got any idea of what is up?

Update: I found out that even if I download maxisnite, it still does not work. Perhaps I put it in the wrong folder or I put the wrong files?

I will us and example of cockatoo's beautiful UN building(at least from those screenshots) to give an example:

This is the contents of the downloaded file:

Now, can someone tell me if I did this step right:

So if you guys can kindly help out... thanks.

Your problem has nothing to do with not installing the files to the right place or even not installing the right version.

You don't have night lights on any of your BAT's because you haven’t downloaded and installed the BAT night lighting patch.

If you haven't already, you need to download the EP1 Update for the game.

Go here: http://www.sc4devoti..._files_EP1.html

For whatever region you live in, download the specific SKU file. For instance, if you live in North America, only download the file marked "sku 1".

Then, you need to download the SC4Update4BAT, which is here: http://www.sc4devoti...4Update4BAT.zip

Install the EP1 Update first by double clicking it and following the instructions. Then do the same for the SC4UpdateBAT file. A box will pop-up with "This program will apply changes needed to support the Building Architect Tool. Before you install this update (build 640) please make sure that you have applied SimCity 4 EP1 Update 1 successfully.". You can safely ignore it; just press OK.

Then you're done!

Remember you need Sim City 4 Rush Hour or Sim City 4 Deluxe for these updates and most downloads to work.

To check whether the patches have been correctly applied invloves checking the Properties of the game's executable file usually located in the C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps folder of your computer. This file is named SimCity 4 and should be approximately 8MB in size. If the file Version is 1.1.638.0, then the EP1 patch only has been applied. If the version is 1.1.640.0, then both the EP1 and SC4Update4BAT patches have been applied and the game is fully updated.
