Holes or big gaps in  In game Menu .jpg


Hello, as u can see in the uploaded image, the re are holes or gaps between items of the menu. It happens in several sub menus of my game, i put this image just as an example.

Is there someting to do to solve this. Because the annoying thing is, it moves the correct name of items, and to recover i have to down far forward and come back with the mouse.

More, some items (like church ou "Lieu de Culte" en français, TLC Transfer yard too) appear several time in the same submenu and eventually in others one at the same time. I made a check up inside plugin directory, visually and with HcCloner, and there are not any "same-name", "full clones" or whatever.

Otherwise, all is clear, phantom slider is magically gone, i manage textures with dataviews, and i 'm now used to live with the unknown origin spawning little boats automata (which can go through anything even SNM Submarines, sometimes i wish i could use torpedos.....

Seriously game is still ok and the help is very wise on simtropolis...

I know this issue. This happens when there's a ploppable item in your game menu that has no icon for the menu. This moves all entries one step to the top and the icons don't match their item anymore.

To fix this, you need to do a little work. The easiest way is to download and install the Lot Editor (don't worry, you do not need to edit the lots themselves).

  • Find out the affected lots by hovering over the top-most entry in the game menu that is affected by this issue.
  • Open it in LE and just save it (use Save, not Save As!). This will create another file in your Plugins folder, and by saving, LE creates an icon on its own.
  • If possible, remove the original file and replace it with the file LE made (keep a backup somewhere, just in case). If this would kick out stuff like dependencies and textures, or somehow doesn't fix it, please tell me again so I can have a look at it.

    Hello, i just opened LE, and i'm already lost, facing two difficulties;

    I realize that i don't really understand what u mean by " "hovering the top-most entry in the game menu..."

    and i don't remember at all which icons were in the empty spaces of the menu. 

    More, LE doesn't show each lot, one by one, in the beginning its ok but quickly it become a long list of " CSS.....or HI....". 

    Should i use SC4 Data Node instead? The advantage is it gives the name of all items.

    Shortly, it seems very complicated to me. 

    Thx anyway
