SimCity 4 with DoorMysh mods is slow

[Luan Silva 0]

Hello, I'd like to know how to make my game run more smoothly. I recently downloaded 8GB of mods, and I've noticed that it slows down when the camera is at a higher level, the cars move strangely (lag), and the buildings grow slowly even at maximum speed. The cursor is also slow.

I've also noticed some graphical bugs, such as some buildings appearing dark and the ground simply not loading in industrial areas (usually in those chimney-like buildings).

I downloaded this mod because I really liked the DoorMysh series on YouTube and I'd like to create cities similar to those. I also know that many of these mods are outdated, one of them being the NAM version, but I don't mind because I don't want to give up the huge library I have and also avoid the headache of having to search for dependencies or mods when I can simply download the whole package.

The big problem is that this 8GB package comes with all the files together, including props, BSDs, etc., making it very difficult and tedious to separate each one to compress everything into smaller DAT files using a Datpacker program. Remember, we're talking about more than 400 files to separate into folders

So I'd like to ask for your help and ask how I can organize all this without crashing the game and improve its performance.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to fix poorly distributed modpacks, so at this point you should completely reset SimCity 4 and create your modpack from scratch. Furthermore, since the modpack was created, many things have changed, such as dapacking, which has become obsolete because there are DLL Mods that perform a more efficient job. So it's not worth trying to solve a problem that is impossible to solve.

First, you need to download SC4Pac, which is the mod manager that allows you to better manage the modpack and automatically download and update SC4 mods.

After you have done this, you must follow this tutorial by installing the mods to improve the performance and stability of the game.

After you have installed the critical mods and configured them, you can start downloading the mods you want to have.
