RHD <-> LHD

[huzman 445]

I saw a little while ago some posts -maybe a thread- about shifting LHD to RHD. There was one about the registry key which did the trick. But on a new town I just started, the silly Sims went back to LHD.
SO after a couple hours of searching, I couldn't find them.

Probably because you reinstalled the game recently, necessitating you reset the value in the registry.

Obvious place would be omnibus or the wiki

Found a bunch of threads on the subject using google, in just a few secs;

A few of these also mentions the method with reg.key

Well for a comprehensive round up of all the options, look no further:

You're probably right. so I ran the NAM installation again, changed LHD to RHD in the custom installation, nothing else, compiled it, and exited.
I also checked the Registry, went to the 01 folder, opened it and found "0000  13 00 00 00" which seemed like right so I quit.
I launched SC4, loaded a city and silly Sims are still driving on the left side. Maybe because it is an older city ?
@rsc204: I also did this : (Funny, I didn't get the "Quote this" icon on these two lines)

Find the install directory, where you should have a subfolder "UKEnglsh". Make a copy of this folder, then rename it to "English".

Then find your SC4 Shortcut, right click, select properties and add the following to the end of the target line "-l:"English"

This isn't a simple whim, it affects how I build roads with roundabouts and such.
