Hey everyone, I'm trying to install NAM as the title suggests. I have the original rush hour disks and have performed the Maxis update to 1.638. The update went through with no errors, but I notice that simcity_5.dat did not update. The other dat files and the application did update. When I try to install NAM, I get the error message that the game needs to be updated to the current version. I'm on windows 7. Any ideas?

Yeah, the slope is a little ridiculous. However, if you were overweight, you just run it off the end of the runway and it would probably start flying. Reminds me of a little grass landing strip by my house that has a ravine at the end of the runway, by the time you go off the runway, you're flying whether you like it or not. Anyway, about the mountainous terrain, while it isn't normal, it isn't unheard of. May I present Innsbruck in Austria. Lodged in the Alps, the minimum safe altitude in the area is 11,500 feet, yet the runway is at 1,900 feet. It's a treat landing there. Fix the slope, keep the mountains, could be a great airport. Cheers!

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. I was skeptical that I would be able to reduce the garbage twice, but wanted confirmation.

Thanks, but that didn't really answer the question. I wanted to know if I could reduce garbage again by placing recycling centers in my dedicated garbage cities. Do I reduce waste coming in on neighbor deals?

Hey guys, I have what should be a simple question, but I haven't found the answer and was to lazy to experiment. I have one region that is a garbage city. Where do I build the recycling centers? Do I put them in the city where the trash is being produced or garbage city (or both). Can I reduce garbage by 25% in the Garbage city after I've already reduced it down in the initial city? Thanks for the help.

I would have thought it was my low memory before it was my CPU. The CPU never gets close to full load. Still, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to upgrade it. I should downclock it to 2.0 Ghz and upclock it to 2.6 and see if I notice much of a difference. On another note, I wonder if anyone has tried playing the game with a workstation quality card such as a ATI Fire or a nVidia Quadro. I would think those might render this type of a high-texture, top-down game faster than consumer cards would because the consumer cards aren't necessarily made for that.

The shadow trick worked pretty well. I really don't notice too much of a visual difference either. I really don't have that many downloaded files (yet). I just sort of took up the game after 5 years off. Still a great game, especially with all of the add-ons.

Couldn't find an exact thread on this, so I thought I'd throw a new one out there. Basically, my computer is lagging when I have a large city filled up with a ton of population. It renders slow and scrolls slow. My system is as follows: Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 @ 2.4Ghz 2GB DDR2 800 Memory nVidia 9600 GT 512MB 1TB 7200RPM WD Hard Drive Windows 7 Home Premium I play the game at a customer resolution of 1680 x 1050 with everything turned on. My CPU is running between 50-65% load, and I'm using about 1.2-1.4GB out of my 2GB of RAM. Not sure about the Video Card load, I'm going to check into that. My question is, should I be lagging? Does anyone have any idea what my bottleneck is? I realize that I don't have the fastest computer in the world, but it blows the recommended system requirements away. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hey guys, I really want to know if there is a mod to put an elevated rail over a road...Chicago-style. Can't find anything. Thanks.
