Ploppable RICO buildings turned into monuments

[KrabbHD 0]

Hey folks,

RICO has worked fine for me for these last couple of months, like really ridiculously good. Unfortunately, that ended today. I keep getting this error: 

The Mod C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\255710\586012417 [PloppableRICO.dll] has caused an error [ModException]

Details:
PrefabException: Invalid dimensions (Max sizes: 16x8, 15x9, 14x11, 13x12, 12x13, 11x14, 9x15, 8x16)

I'm not sure how to mend it. Only large buildings have stopped working.

If someone knows a solution, please let me know.

That said, I can't access the content manager either, it's completely empty, but @BloodyPenguin has offered to help with that on reddit so I guess it could be fixed quite quickly.

Are these custom buildings are default ones? If custom ones do they use the Larger Footprint mod or the Sub-buildings Enabler mod?

Custom ones. This is an example of one, I don't know which mod it uses: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=586007653

This is another one: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=694068130

[Avanya 2,605]

Strange, those two shouldn't cause an error related to dimensions. Have you unsubbed from any buildings on Steam recently?

[KrabbHD 0]

Not for a week now, and it worked fine the last 3 days I've played.

[Avanya 2,605]

Hmm, not sure what this could be. Perhaps @AJ3D knows?

Picture:

Edit: Note how the population is at 17k with -33k? Well that's because all of those buildings I had that had RICO properties made the tally reach 50k inhabitants.

They are in your collection.

These are all broken (and that's only the residential!), and many of the offices are too. I seriously doubt that it's an issue with their larger size because they all worked before today and they're used fairly often in other players' cities.

 

After further investigating, only the growable assets I've manually given RICO-stats aren't broken.

I'm sure I get this all the time since a few months ago. Notice the RICO icon is missing. I thought it was random issue with RICO so I would save the local rico file then play with everything till it worked. I don't think this is a sub buildings/larger footprints issue, but who knows?

Having read the error from OP, It clearly is a sub buildings/larger footprints issue but I see this screen of triangles often.

I just tested a few of those, and they work ok for me. Can you load a game with a few of them subscribed, and send me your log file?

Robert Taylor Homes should work, since that's my main test lot that I've been using for the past year.

I'm 99% sure the error you posted earlier is due to the larger footprints mod.

I've done some testing and it seems that the mod was indeed the problem. Not only the mod though. It worked fine before. The only difference is that this time, I had placed the Melbourne cricket stadium, which is a very large asset, and it caused the bug. I just unsubbed to the mod and it's fixed. Thanks!
