NAM 36 Problems

[Paulo S.M. 321]

Hi dear Mayors.
Here's my problem.
I've installed NAM 36 (clean installation, no previous NAM installed), and I have downloaded some plug-ins and stuff.
Run the game and....... NOTHING !!
It's like the is no NAM at all !!
No rail pieces, no real road .... highways ..... zip, nada, niet... ZERO !!
What ?

Does anyone know why ?

HELP please

There's a couple of possibilities here.  By "nothing", do you mean that you aren't seeing any additional icons (beyond the defaults) in game?

First off, if you selected the most basic option "Traffic Simulator and Maxis Fixes Only", there will be absolutely no sign on the menus that you have installed the NAM.  If that's the case, you'd want to re-install with a different feature set.

It's also possible that the mod somehow installed to the wrong location, which tends to be particularly prevalent if you've installed the game to a non-default location, or are using a custom location for the Plugins folder.  Assuming you haven't specified a custom location for the Plugins folder, check My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins and make sure there is indeed a Network Addon Mod folder in there.

In either case, I would advise re-installing--it's possible you might have had some sort of freak situation (which has become rather common with our current installer, sadly).

When I say nothing, I mean nothing related to NAM.
In my plugins folder, the only thing related with NAM is a folder named z__NAM.
There is also a folder named NAM auxiliary files out side of the plugins folder.
And related to instalation, I've selected the full instalation.

It sounds like the installer went somewhere entirely different with the main Network Addon Mod folder, for some reason.  I'd try re-installing again, making sure that the mod is going to the default installation location (My Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins).  If you're still not seeing a Network Addon Mod folder in there after that, we'll work through some other possibilities there.

Thanks Tarkus
Problem solved.
Just reinstalled NAM, after removing every evidence of it from my computer, and now everything works just fine
Big thank you, and keep up the great work on NAM.

 

Thanks men
