Mods and Natural Disasters

[Avanya 2,605]

I've got fancy decorated areas which 5 fire heli depots can't handle.  Hopefully CO will add an option to turn off fire spreading to trees or we'll get a mod for it. I'm considering trying the No Fires mod until then. It's kinda cheating, but I just don't feel like working on my city when the nice detailed areas are on fire or black from fires.

Just plop a fire heli depot and those forest fires come and go in the background

Yeah, that's what I did, and although it helps a bit, but still my city is continuously scarred with charred area's I've turned my entire city into parkland, so if a fire breaks out it's pandemonium). I play this game more to create nice-looking cities than for mayoral challenges, so it's still not ideal (I don't mind pelting my city with disasters though, but preferably on my terms [like to teach them that high taxes are painful, but not nearly as much as a 50ft meteor in their backyards  ]).

Hey guys I have uninstalled and renintalled game. The assets are working and even base mods work (unlock all items and unimited cash) Every time i start a new game with a custom mod even by itself game won't load it just freezes at loading screen. Im running a Mac if that helps and havent had any issues prior to this update.

I doubt many players here are playing the game on a Mac, so even though people would love to help you, chances of finding a solution here are probably pretty slim. Posting your problem on Reddit or the official Paradox forum probably gives you a better chance of finding as fix for your problem(s) - good luck

Thanks alot @Judazzz for the answer and response.  I figured this was a sign to get a PC for this game.  Too much time dedicated to let everything go to waste.

@jstatha I think quite a lot of players do play on Macs (I've seen numerous posts about it on Reddit), so it is most definitely possible to have the game run on it, but I think the amount of Simtropolis members doing so is very limited. So before you whip out the plastic and get a PC, it may be worth posting your problem over there or on the Paradox form. Unless you're actually looking for a reason to make the switch to PC, obviously
