Problem with terrain

[GeometryMath Algebra 614]

Hello. I have a problem when starting a city off. When I select a city, it looks like this

IT'S ALL WATER! (NOTE: I SELECTED PLAINS NOT WATER)

And when I tried raising the terrain, it crashes! I have the BRF Tunnel and Slope Mod and RHW Slope Mod. No terrain mods.

PLEASE HELP!

Hello?!!

Give us the time to respond please and do not bump your own post in a short time like this.

Is this problem occuring in Every citytile in the region, or in just one specific one?

Also, wouldn't 2 slope mods conflict with each other? Try removing them.

It happens in EVERY city tile! I already fixed the crash bug. The cause was because of a tree controller. But my land is still below sea level. Haljackey said the RHW Slope Mod can be used with any other slope mod. I tried removing both RHW Slope Mod and BRF Tunnel and Slope Mod but to no avail.

If you have a tree controller then you might have a terrain mod. Did you install any terrain mod, terrain texture, or rock/beach/water mods?

Well, I installed the terrain mod and tree controller after I posted this thread I have the Colombus Terrain Mod and the White Gravel Beach Mod (according to the readme of Colombus Terrain Mod, you can have ANY beach mod installed). I installed the water mod before this thread was posted. I removed the terrain mod and water mod but to no avail.

EDIT: My water mod is PEG's Windjammer.

Did you make sure you had the correct Terrain Textures? If you are using custom trees did you make sure there are no other tree controllers?

I deleted the tree controller and that fixed the crash bug. I have the correct terrain textures. My workaround is to raise the terrain 2 times so it would be land. But at first it shows water (Again, I picked Plains not Water ) and I raise the terrain level to make it land. But it's rather inconvenient.

Create a new region. Does it still happen?

Have you tried to load the game with no plugins in either Plugins folder (simply rename the current Plugins folders to something else)? Perhaps you have a height mod - something with a name like "1000m" or "import".

[GeometryMath Algebra 614]

I removed the Plugins folder and the terrain is BACK TO LAND! But I want my plugins back! I spent two hours on downloading the dependencies of CAM and I don't like to do it again!

You could try putting your plugins back a few at a time to see if you can find the file that's causing the terrain issue.

[jacksunny 741]

is a good method of searching for a bad plugin.

This is a good reason to perhaps do what I do. I download what I want, decompress it/them and save it/them into folders specifically for that purpose (saving downloaded SC4 files), Then, instead of installing the files I want to use into my C:\Documents and Settings\My User ID\My Documents\SimCity 4\plugins folder I copy them into that folder. That way I will always have a backup and I will not need to re-download should something unforeseen happen to my plugins folder.

I FINALLY FIXED IT! The problem was caused by this file named "CP_ColumbusPlayTerrainParametersForUseWithCPT_No7TreeController SNOWSCAPPED LOWER.dat" and when I removed it, the default terrain is back to land! So now we can lock this thread!
