Thanks CapCity; at least it's good to know it's not something I'm necessarily doing wrong. Weebaha: I don't know what the problem can be. The planes for the Maxis airports do show up every now and then (automata) but shouldn't be present all the time. It's not strange that an airpoirt might not show planes for a while (but then again I haven't used the Maxis ones to really know). With the custom ones it depends on which airport packs you downloaded. Some of them will show the automata planes where as others will have planes lotted (so you may have to download additional dependancies). Hope that made sense.

Originally posted by: T Wrecks Well, you could link us to that hotel (there may be several Best Westerns) so we could take a look inside and see what the download package actually contains.quote> This is the hotel: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=3078 (very gratetful for these simgoober) As it turns out though I had inadverdently re-lotted a growable not a ploppable hence my problem. Can't believe I messed that one up! After struggling with SC4PIM-X for hours I don't think I solved the problem and I think I will just re-lot, again. Mentally drained after the PIM and may wait a while before I start a thread about THAT! Thanks anyway.

Originally posted by: ImVhOzzi I have never heard about menus getting "over crowded", they just get longer. If you re-lot a building, the building won't show up in the landmarks menu, but in the menu where the original lot is found (it overwrites the excisting one if you choose "Save" instead of "Save as"). That is also the reason why re-lots of growable buildings doesn't make these lots visible in any menus. I hope it helped! quote> Ah, I think you may have given me an answer... possibly. I think the files I downloaded have both growable and ploppable lots, so perhaps I re-lotted a growable version, and perhaps that is why it is not appearing. Does that make sense? Having said that, I've only found 1 Best Western lot in the LE list, not two. I'll have to keep more of an eye out. I'd have to look into that and perhaps change things in the Plug-in Manager because I spent way too long making those changes to do them again! Thanks. I think that has helped.

Are they custom airports or the Maxis ones?

Hey, hope this isn't a stupid question, and hope this is the right place for it. I recently downloaded Josh's lots using Tabi's planes. I downloaded Tabi's props from his site. Most seems to be ok, except that some of the 747s dodon't show (I realise that Tabi's link doesn't have them all, which is strange). The main problem I have though is the diagonal planes. The diagonal 777s don't show up. I've downloaded the appropriate file from Tabi's page, and Josh's lots, and in game the plane and the jetway are missing. Am I missing a dependancy or is there another issue I am not aware of? Thanks.

Hey, hate to be asking, but I have encountered a slight problem that I haven't been able to find an answer for. I have on numerous occasions used LE to chage a lot around, saved as and have had it appear in the menus in game. This time I've encountered a problem with a few hotel lots I've downloaded from simgoober. For example, I've taken Best Western and put it on a smaller lot, changed the props etc, saved as with a slightly different name. The original appears in my menu, the new lot doesn't. When I checked my plugins folder, the new lot file was there, in the main part of the folder (where most of me LE lots are, and not with the original files in the Best Western folder). I don't think I've encountered this problem before. At the same time I re-lotted a library lot and I've had it appear in the education menu as normal. Does it have something to do with the landmarks menu being over crowded? Is that a possibility? Thanks for your help!

I don't think they are all custom lots... I think some of them are actually Maxis lots. Most of mine are Maxis lots. When you try to query the lots, nothing comes up. This is only happening in once city as far as I can tell, so I don't think it's related to the settings. It could possibly be the size of the city, but the one affected isn't that big. When I delete the '

I had the same problem a while ago, but somehow managed to fix it... don't ask me how as I can't remember. Anyway, all was fine up untill a few days ago when I experienced the same problem again. This was after I installed then uninstalled Startup Manager. Then everything stopped working, till I managed to rectify the issue and got my game working once more, only to find this problem happening with only one of my cities. I haven't tried changing to software versus hardware and testing to see if it works. Any luck with you?

I also just recently lost a city. Just 1 from one of my regions. I did a few silly things which could have caused this to happen. 1) I gave two other cities nearby the same name as each other 2) I had renamed the city I have just lost and gave it the same name I had for my other 2 cities using the cheat I can't remember the exact orxer of events. Essentially I should have ended up with 3 cities with the same name (I didn't think it could cause a conflict) The other 2 cities have retained their names, however they are only terrain with no buildings, where as the city I have lost is now a blank tile with a flat terrain. In the regions folder one of the cities with the same name has the number 2 after it. I would have thought this should have happened with the 3rd city, but it's no where to be found. It might have had something to do with renaming them.
