INFO: Brown Boxes as Buildings

[sim1234 62]

You will also see a brown box if you download a BAT from the exchange into the original SC4 as they can't handle BATs so you must have Rush Hour or Deluxe if you want all BATs and most lots from our exchange here to work.

[Micah 16]

Wow, even thought I've had Rush Hour for a long time, I didn't realize BATs only work for Rush Hour. Great thread MsD.

[Hordijk 18]

No offense, but this topic has already been covered here
Though this adds some extra info and I really appreciate the effort you put in to this!

[Hordijk 18]

If you type in boxes or brown boxes you get plenty of results that could lead to the answer includding the one I mentioned above BTW that topic is pinned

yes, but despite that there are still at least 3 threads a week being created asking about brown boxes.

[Hordijk 18]

I do appreciate your help very much please don't get me wrong, like I said this contained some other very good points therefore I really appreciate this thread!

[Compromise 1]

I typed in brown and brown boxes and I got loads of topics listed so I don't think there is anything seriousley wrong with finding threads on this subject.

There is already a clear tutorial by  Hordijk on this dubject. Perhaps you two can combein tutorial's?

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

A very lucid explanation. Maybe you and Horkijk could get toghether on the thread over in techincal and jointly edit it to cover all the ground.

We really need a lucid explanation of all this. Maybe it should become an article in the Omnibus.

Squirrels are important. Something like Rikki Tikki Tavi. Good stuff, both of you.

[Hordijk 18]

Like Compromise and N_O_Body said combining would be a great idea what do you say MsD?
Please contact me by pm to sort it out if your interested

[Hordijk 18]

Good to know MsD glad we can combine it into one

the problem with new members posting multiple questions is that many just ask a question without checking site rules first, only if you have been here a while you know what to do

i know there is a section of every forum dedicated to rules and such but if your in a hurry and side step them, or your search is just too specific then you might not pick up on an old topic

so perhaps the search options should be on the front page at the top so it is the first section new people see make it obvious and it will be the first place people go to? putting site key rules and hints with them might also be a good idea

If it was my choice, there would be a gigantic flashing banner, much like an annoying pop-up ad, which appears everytime you load a page on this website, that says DONT BE A $%&^!, SEARCH FIRST.

[TheCrybKeeper 289]

Dolfin: I gotta say; that just might work. Somehow I get this feeling that MsD's sig quote would still apply. hehee.

[Yellowlab 11]

[sim1234 62]

Thanks for sticking this thread Yellowlab, I'm sure many new members will benefit from this.

Great work MsD, this was needed. There are too many questions asked about this and we needed a place to point the people. Great work!

[Compromise 1]

Firstley, what do you mean by your cities turning off.

[sim1234 62]

Do you mean the game crashes to the desktop or do you mean the screen just goes blank?
