Street/Road Lights Not Working

[mangojuice 30]

Hi all.

Having mostly spent my time playing on the daytime setting I have only just noticed that my street/road lights do not work.  I am up to date with patches etc, running 1.1.640.0.  and SimFox Day/Night Mod.  The lights in the res/com/ind buildings work as well as any downloaded content....it's just the roads/streets/avenues that are not lit.

Any pointers?

My first instinct says check the graphics settings in-game. It may just need nudged up a little. The game has a bad habit of assuming any current graphics card is useless just coz it doesn't recognise it.

Just checked, all my graphics settings are set to high with the exception of "#sims/cars".

You wouldn’t actually need a patched game to see lights lighting up, provided we’re talking about the default ones. But, do you have power (check the data view) on those segments with lights? It’s a requirement for any lights to work that they have power.

Ahhhhh, as I'm only playing test tiles at the moment I haven't actually plopped a power station and opted for the power cheat in Buggi's cheat menu...maybe that is the problem  

I'll have a look when I get home... 

EDIT: That was the issue, no power station plopped - Street lights won't work with power cheat.
