Hi Guys, I have tried to contact the company (EA Sports - as this is the company that deals with troubleshooting issues for SimCity 4) and I cannot seem to get through. I also do not have another machine running windows XP, so I am pretty much just out of luck. I really hope that someone somewhere working for EA Sports realizes this issue. Thanks

hmm, I used the "attach files" button, but no files seem to be attached, how do i attach screenshots? I also tried to copy and paste the images into this reply message and that does not work? thanks

Hi there, thanks for your help so far. Attached is a couple of screenshots from the download manager.

Hi, As I have stated before, both plugin folders exist on my hard drive. One in the C:\Users\Adam\Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins location and the other in the c:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4\Plugins location. However, both of these locations are completely empty. I do not have winzip installed currently. I will continue to search for these files...thanks for your help so far everyone =)

Hi There, I have searched for both the words "plugin" and "plugins" to no avail. I have also checked the "C:\Users\Adam\Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins" folder, which is empty; however it does exist. Im not sure what else to check...

The simcity lot download manager within the lot exchange only allows you to use the location of its choosing as a save location. There is no option to "save as". When you click to download, a window appears, tells you where it will be downloaded, and tells you to click the "next" button. When you do this, it will automatically start the download. This is where it will state that the file downloaded successfully (the first time) or that it already exists in the following Dir: "C:\Users\Adam\Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins\Pz1x1_cc19b34a.sc4lot" I have already taken a look at the program files\Maxis\SimCity 4\Plugins\ dir. There are no lots within this folder.

I have performed a search for any "*.sc4" file, as well as the plugin name and "plugin". The search is not finding anything..I have re-downloaded the lot and it states again that the file already exists - again, when I check the folder, nothing is visible, even though its set to view all files and folders - hidden included. I have tried to create my own "My Documents" folder within the Users\ dir...when i type in the name "My Documents", vista automatically deletes it and tells me that it will copy all files from this Dir to "Documents"... this is very frustrating...

Hello, I am currently trying to download some lot plugins from the SimCity exchange page on the EA website; however, when I download the lots and receive the message stating that the lots have been placed in the My Documents\Simcity4\Plugins\ directory, they infact are not. I am using Windows Vista and I am able to play the game without issues; however, any lot that I try to download does not appear in the game and the Documents\Simcity 4\Plugins folder contains nothing visible. I have set my folder options to view all files (hidden or not) to no avail. I tried to re-download the same lots and the download manager stated that the files were already existing in the directory. I am wondering where the files are being placed and if I can retrieve them to place them in the proper directory. Below are my specs: Windows Vista Home Premium Using SimCity 4 Deluxe Last plugin (2003) Pentium Core2Duo E4400 2.0 GHZ 2 GB DDR2 Ram Geforce 7300LE 256MB Ram Would anyone have any idea why my operating system does not allow for the plugin lots to be placed within the proper folder? Thanks in advance Adam
