Buildings only appearing partially

[Bimmie 0]

Hi everyone

I am running SC4 Deluxe version 1.1.683.0. I installed the latest NAM and the NDEX Global Essentials file. After editing: I also installed these texture packs:

- BSC Essential Files
- BSC Mega Prop Pack Vol 1
- BSC Textures Vol 1, 2 and 3.
- LBT Mega Texture Pack
- Cerulean Textures

After downloading the Downtown High School, when I want to build it, it doesn't show the building. It does show the basketball court on top and the entrance gate. This also happened with many other lots I downloaded here. See the image attached.

I tried searching the forums for this issue but I haven't found it. Probably there is another way of mentioning this but I am not a native English speaker.

If anyone can advise on what to do, I would be grateful. Thanks!

You need the Maxis BuildingProps pack 1 & 2. They are available here on the STEX, and those should solve the problem. 

The issue isn't related to textures. The 3d model for the building is missing, and it's contained inside the BuildingProps files. That, I think, is the only dependency but obviously it's not listed. Many CC creators don't list it because they assume you already have it (because it's so common).

That's cool. I wasn't aware we had them on the STEX. I got my copies here: https://screwpiledevelopments.com/screw-pile-exchange-spex/maxis-files/

 

Edit: Here's a description of some of the stuff at the above link.

I think the ones on the STEX were made by @T Wrecks, in some ways these are better than the official ones, since he made sure everything would be labelled correctly if you hover over them with the query tool. After all, these files are little more than a set of prop exemplars for models that already exist.

So, that would be: Maxis Prop Names and Query Fix

Thanks APSMS, works like a charm! It's my first mod (if that's what you can call it) so I'm a total newbie on this

@Bimmie No problem. Glad that's all the problem was.
