Trying to get back into the game after getting it on GOG, ported over my mods, installed all the necessary fixes, etc. Now, attempting to place beaches causes a CTD, every time. SimCity Exception Report 2025.09.10 23.05.16.txt

Placing Beaches causes CTD's
PlutonianEmpire replied to PlutonianEmpire's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
I do have CAM installed, but I installed it manually. I don't use sc4pac -

I got the GOG version of SC4, but sc4pak is REFUSING to detect my previously installed mods I ported over from the disc version. How do I make it recognize my old mods? I made my profile, set it to SimCity 4 > Plugins > Profile > Plugins, and sorted my mods as instructed into the new subfolders. No dice. This is my first time using it. I tried pointing it to the base plugins folder instead, no dice either.

What new mods do y'all suggest? Back after several years hiatus
PlutonianEmpire posted a topic in SC4 - Custom Content
I already have NAM and CAM, so those need updating for sure. What else do y'all suggest? -
That makes much more sense now, so I figured out where to put what file, which in my case was the RHD file into the y_RealRailWay folder. Thank you!
-
What are the differences between the LHD and RHD files? How do I know which one to put into the folders listed in the readme? And how do I find out which folder goes where? I find the format of the readme to be a bit confusing, tbh.

Actually, I was wanting to block ALL mansions, and even after installing those mods I was getting mansions built and ruining my R$$ neighborhoods. So I dug through my plugins folder starting with the mod that started it all, and i found a new R$$$ mansion file that for some reason, was included in the BSC Farm rewards SG Vol 01 mod, but I didn't notice because it came with an installer. It had the name in the file name ("...CharlotteManor..."), and so I loaded up sc4 and sure enough each and every single of the new mansions was "Charlotte Manor". So apparently I wasn't realizing that the mansion blocker mod I had wasn't truly universal. Oops lol.

A long, long, time ago in a city far, far away I had to download this mod: Because of the Trump wannabes killing my R$$ communities. However I recently had to download this mod: which is apparently an unlisted dependency for my whole CAM suite, iirc. However it seems to conflict with the stop mansions mod and despite adding a few z's to the start of the name to make it load last, and so the mansion problem has returned. I dont like hiking my tax rates, so are there any better, more recent mods that dont conflict with the farm mods?

SimCity 4 Frequently Asked Questions
PlutonianEmpire replied to Samerton's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Is it possible to set custom screen refresh rates? SC4 seems to be reducing my screen refresh rate, when I switch to different monitors, but I want to keep a constant refresh rate at 60 ghz. Is it possible to do this via the shortcut options or in SC4 launcher? -
Kind of. I went through the readmes provided in the BMD Mediterranean Style Farms, and in the list of dependencies, there were a few that were either locked by the Admin at the LEX, or had a slightly different filename, which therefore confused me a little. While rereading the readme to double check, I realized I had downloaded one of them yesterday during that search for dependacies for Imori that I forgot to install, BSC Mega Prop Pack MBEAR Vol01. I installed that and the problem is fixed, I believe.

Hi there, Im looking for missing dependencies for the Imori Lavender Farm., however I checked and installed everything I could find, but Stages 2 and 3 are *still* coming out as brown boxes. Stage one of Imori Lavender farm is fine however, with no brown box. I'm using CAM and NAM 34

When catching up on dependencies, how do I find STEX files that Cleanitol gave obsolete URLs for?
PlutonianEmpire posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
I've finally decided to start catching up on my missing dependancies, especially now that I installed CAM. When going through the cleanup list, some files Cleanitol will give SimTropolis URLs for, but the urls are in the obsolete format, as when I click on the links, I get a page saying the old page doesn't exist anymore, since the stex no longer uses "simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=<number>" as the url for files on the STEX. How do I find, for example, a file that had the url "simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=4100"? -

Edit: It works, thank you! -
Does moving the bipinhouse4_ set to a temporary location fix the CTD'S?

What water mod am I using? I can't find its dat file.
PlutonianEmpire posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
I'm trying to find and remove the dat for this water mod, since it is interfering with my other terrain mods sometimes. Does any one recognize this mod? It looks kinda glitchy when max zoomed out, but when max zoomed in, theres extremely faint grid lines among a featureless dark blue surfce, like in my uploaded screenies. Can anyone recognize this water mod? Edit: After resorting to the trial by error method of removing one folder at a time, i found the culprit to be JRP_WaterMod_Beta.dat in the JPR Addon Lot Pack 02>xx_Options directory. -

SimCity 4 Launcher - Updated (10/09/15) 1.5.4b - R12
PlutonianEmpire replied to Logic_Bomb's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Does the Launcher require admin privileges in order for the autosave to successfully save my changes in my city? I am on Windows 7 64 bit. -
Why Don't Sims take Highways?
PlutonianEmpire replied to calvint_hk's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Big bump, but I have a similar issue with Avenues. I have a long Avenue connecting a few cities in a new-ish region. I have five cities, of which two Big cities are connected by a long Avenue that runs through a Medium city. Instead of using the Avenues, my sims are using the Roads to get to the neighboring cities, mostly avoiding the avenue, despite the fact that I'm using Nam 34. I am on SC4 Deluxe with the patch, IIRC. -
How to configure SC4 to work with your new hardware
PlutonianEmpire replied to Morofry's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Hi, well in your case you have 2 graphic adapters installed and both should be in both the .sgr-files First is the Intel ® HD Graphics 4600 card with the code 0412, second is the GeForce GTX 970 with the code 13C2, so your Graphics Rules.sgr should look like: partialRule "Fast card" -any # We run well on these cards, so up the defaults. stringMatch cardIdentity "NVidia*Geforce*" stringMatch cardIdentity "NVidia*Quadro*" stringMatch cardIdentity "GeForce*GTX 285*" stringMatch cardIdentity "GeForce*GTX 680*" stringMatch cardIdentity "GeForce*GTX 970*" stringMatch cardIdentity "Intel*HD Graphics 4600*" and your Video Cards.sgr should look like this: Section: vendor "NVidia" 0x10b4 0x12d2 0x10de card 0x05e3 "GeForce GTX 285" card 0x1180 "GeForce GTX 680" card 0x13C2 "GeForce GTX 970" AND vendor "Intel" 0x8086 card 0x2a42 "Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family" card 0x0a16 "Intel® HD Graphics Family" card 0x0412 "Intel® HD Graphics 4600" Note: the other lines in both files are from my settings... Ignore them... I run SC4 on my desktop computer as well as on two different laptops with different Intel chipsets on Windows 7 x64 without any problems. I've never tried it on Windows 8/8.1 so I don't know if there is a problem with this OS and because my laptops only have Intel Integrated Graphics Adapters I don't have any problems with an additional nVidia or ATI graphics adapter. I hope, these informations help you out a bit. Kind regards... I have Intel as well, but I have Intel HD Graphics 4400 instead of 4600. Where precisely would I find the card number for 4400? Is it the number following the word "Chipset:" In the game log? -

Does copypasta'ing that IP address into my browser's url address bar work at all? Or will that accidently get me IP banned? -
How to configure SC4 to work with your new hardware
PlutonianEmpire replied to Morofry's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Sooo, umm.. What should I do if my new-ish laptop, quite embarassingly, has no independent graphics card? My machine is otherwise decently fast, 8 gigs of ram, Windows 7 Home Premium x64, and a Quad-core Processor totalling 2.7 GHz.
