I'm experiencing a weird bug all of a sudden.

The coverage radius of my schools and libraries is decreasing every time a new month starts.

There is no consistent pattern as to how much it decreases per month. If I start it as $120 for

school bus coverage it will decrease to anywhere between $59 and $95 the next month (generally $59, $79, or $95)

and eventually gets down to $1 after about 6-8 months. 

 

I have removed the plugins folder as well as the NAM auxiliary, STEX downloads, and LEX downloads folders from documents/simcity4

 

I don't know why this is starting now.

I recently switched to software render due to some graphics issues but I don't think that should make any difference. 

 

I also downloaded the following mods recently:

JBSimio's School Packs: ()

()

Wleader's radius doubler and cost x4 mod ()

MadHatters low wealth shops v1 and v2 ()

()

DarkMatter's RoadTop Mass Transit ()

BSC Texture Volume 1 (https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=90)

BSC Mega Props (https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=475)

 

 

 

But I remove the plugin folder and the problem continues even if I delete and rebuild any schools so I don't believe any of these could be the problem.

Anyone have any suggestions or experienced anything similar?

Thanks for your help

    Update:

    This is only happening in one city which makes it all the more curious,

    Any idea what files might need to be fixed for this specific city then?

    Sounds like the well-known "phantom slider" bug. This bug usually happens when you remove e.g. an educational plugin from your plugins folder, but haven't bulldozed all instances of it before.

    Very likely the case.  Make sure you have the Opera House Fix.
