Here's what I do... I leave the number of sims/ traffic alone because I think it looks cooler, but I minimize the amount of shadows and get rid of the clouds. I also leave the game on day only, no switching day to night, I also turn off all sound because for me the game would crash when changing tunes. I also turn off "u-drive-it" mode because I never use it. As far as your plug-ins folder.... what I did was separate each region that I have so that they have their own folders on a flash drive. Then within each region I also have folders for each town/ city. So when I play I just put in the folder for the city I am currently working on along with the region mods for rock/ beach/ water textures. Oh I almost forgot, those folders I mentioned before are the ones I swap in and out of the main plug-in folder. In the main plug-in folder I have the mods that I use throughout, the NAM, general parks/ landscaping plops, and plops/ growables that I use throughout. Ever since I've done this my game crashes A LOT less, and only when I have cities of ~200,000+. Hope that helps, any questions just ask.

This started all of a sudden in one of my new cities and has decided to continue going on with other cities in the region. I always set all my budgets to the max and suddenly when I go to set the health budget it decides it won't let me change the budget. I can slide it to the max and the budget/ expenses change, but after about 30 secs the budget for health and ambulances plummets back to $0. Which basically leaves me with little to know health coverage, -I have plenty of simoleans so I'm not broke -No new plug-ins (each city I have a separate plug-in folder for) -I've tried changing the budget overall for the city and one by one for each health facility Can someone please help or have a suggestion??? -Adam

Thanks guys, I think I fixed it

well i got it to work with my new city... but it's weird, i set the budget to the max and it still reads $0... but i don't care cuz patient capacity gets maxed and so does the ambulance range. my region has a wacky healthcare system, first they want money and when i give it to them they say nevermind and put the budget to zero and go on strike... then they randomly change their minds and work for free.... whatever works i guess

thanks, i'm going to take a look at the civic plug-ins i have for these couple cities. i'm using the LBT hospitals, police and fire stations but didn't have a problem with the previous city in the region

I've started the city over 3 times and demolished all the health facilities and replaced them to no avail
