Anyone else experiencing this really bizzare bug?

This is a crashing issue. However it is predictable.

If I use the Irregular beaches mod to place a beach lot and then afterwards use the street addon MOD (SAM), the game crashes to the desktop. The game crashes before I even get the chance to place the streets. It happens everytime I place an irrregular beach lot and then attempt to use the SAM, not the other way around. I hope it just isn't me. Anyone else experiencing this?

Coincidentally the some of the irregular beach lots are transit-enabled (Maxis street). Oh and before anyone asks I have Deluxe and the two patches installed. My plugin folder isn't even that big.

That could be your issue. Do you have a SAM starter piece selected when the crashes occur? Since the beach lots are transit enabled, hovering a SAM starter piece over it will cause a crash. This is a game issue that is unavoidable except by being careful when using certain network pieces near TEed lots. Many NAM pieces have had this fixed, but not SAM.

Yeah I do have a SAM starter piece selected when the crash occurs. But it doesn't matter if the piece is near the beach lot or on regular terrain. The crash still happens. One time it happened as soon as I selected the SAM starter piece from the menu.

Hmmm... Is you're using? I tried that one and couldn't duplicate the issue. When you mentioned "regular terrain", do you mean a totally empty location? Perhaps the starter piece is coming in contact with something else that's TEed as soon as it's selected...

Yep that's the set. I remember it happening with the large beach lot in the set. When I say regular terrain I mean unzoned terrain that doesn't have anything on it. It's wierd that it doesn't happen for you. Hopefully my game isn't corruped :/

Have you tried different cities and/or regions? Perhaps it's just the one file. Have you also tried using only the beaches and NAM/SAM in the Plugins?

If you hover over any transit tile with a transit piece you will get CTD every time. When using SAM or NAM puzzle pieces one must be very careful to

not pass over a transit tile. Just one of quirks with SC4.
