Loading crash after reinstall

[Sim Trekker 41]

So I'm trying to continue some of my cities, but they won't load without crashing. I've tried both a blank tile and one that I've built on. The city loads about halfway through then CTD's with no message. I am using the steam version of SimCity 4 Deluxe. I've also attached the latest Exception Report to this post.

Hi @Sim Trekker

Is the 'blank city' a never been used one? Do you or have you been using any Plugins? Changes in Plugins may lead to crashes depending on what was used and how removed. For example, if you had been using a newer version of NAM, you may need to re-run the 4GB patch since you re-installed the game.

1. Yes. Besides lots and props, I've got the NAM and Cori's No Kickout Lower Wealth mod. I don't think Cori's mod is up to date, it's the beta version. I think the NAM is the previous build, not 39 (that's the latest version?) I haven't changed anything in my plugins folder since the crashes started. Oh, and SC4Fix dll is there too.

2. The blank city is in a new region I downloaded and set up using the in game rendering tool. I also tried loading my largest city in my previous region, the built-in Fairview region.

Also I have tried uninstalling once before a while back when I had this same issue, and just got around to reinstalling tonight, hoping that the issue would be resolved.

I don't use the Steam version, so I'm not sure of its possible nuances, but re-installing the game may mean you need to run the 4GB patch (even if you did it before) if you have version 37 of NAM or higher (39 is the latest). This patch needs to be run to update the games .exe file in order to run on more modern computers. The almost immediate crash is a common symptom of not having the patch applied. That might be the first thing to try if you haven't. The directions are in the file named 0-read-first in the download package.

I applied the 4 gb patch, and my main city now loads. Thanks for the help!

Glad your up and running...

You can keep right on using it if you like. Other than the file name it's the same as the official release here:
