Mac: Cities freezing!

[1131989 223]

I am playing a heavily modded SC4 but some of the cities in my region (including my third-largest) freeze whenever I try to play them. The first loading screen displays, but the message never changes (I've waited for up to 10 minutes)! Not all of my cities are affected, only 3-4. Any idea what is wrong with them? Should I try taking out some plugins?

If you're playing Aspyr's SimCity 4, make sure you're aware of the plugin limitations.  There's more info in the Mac forum.

I have already thoroughly "packed" my plugins but I'll try packing them further.

This topic would be more at home in the Mac forum which Indiana Joe mentioned.

 

Please can you help us to help you, by telling us about your setup. What computer model are you using? Is this the new SC4 Mac digital re-release you are using, and through which service (Mac App Store, Steam o.e.) have you purchased and downloaded it? Also what plugins are you using; there has been much discussion recently about the numerous issues with this SC4 version, of which the latest update on the NAM situation can be found  the most relevant thread for such issues along with Tarkus' blog.

Also, we're nearly ready with a NAM release (Version 32.1) designed to fix the issues with the Aspyr port.  In fact, one could call it imminent.

I downloaded NAM 32 and am having some issues. When I keep it alongside the crudely unpacked partial Windows version, my highways look hideous. When I throw out the crude Windows version, all of my region's rail lines vanish. Do I need to start a new region; I have ~3 million people in my old one and I don't want to lose it.
