  1. EMT EMS Ambulances

    Version 1.0

    7,130 Downloads

    EMT EMS Ambulances Automata models created by Swamper77 Original models made by Ripptide This download contains a pair of EMT EMS Ambulances that I have created from Ripptide's emergency vehicle models that he sent me. There are 2 versions, one with blue lights and one without blue lights. The ambulances have a custom headlight model for nighttime driving. They also have custom models for the flashing lights. There are two sets of vehicles, one set that replaces the default ambulance and one set of 2 additionals. The additionals are accessed through the default ambulance icon in the UDI Menu. The game will randomly choose between the default and the additionals when you choose to do UDI with the ambulance or when it spawns them near hospitals. There is a readme in the zip file. I suggest you read it before installing the files. The file that is in the "Global" folder must be installed or you will have multi-color patches on the sides of the ambulance(s). I will be getting a tutorial together on how to customize the EMT EMS Ambulances to your liking soon. To see my other works in progress, click here.
  2. Seaport Support File

    Version 1.0

    17,428 Downloads

    This download is obsolete and no longer supported This is not a lot, but it is a mod that makes several lots properly when they are all present on your machine. This file allows for several seaport type lots to function together without conflict. In their current state, the seaport lots on the STEX do not function with other seaport lots because they all modify the same file. This file was created to address this issue. The lots that are currently supported: - The game's existing seaports - Upgradeable Seaports by MrTrueSage: https://www.simtropolis.com/STEX/details.cfm?id=11166 Version 1 https://www.simtropolis.com/STEX/index.cfm?id=16217 Version 2 - Tropod's Additional Functional Seaports: https://www.simtropolis.com/STEX/details.cfm?id=1373 - Package Loading Center from the Updated Airport Pack by Thalassicus: Included in the SWAP download: https://www.simtropolis.com/STEX/index.cfm?id=14024. - Additional CDK Seaport: https://www.simtropolis.com/STEX/details.cfm?id=13715 - 2 SNM Ports (will only be available at PEG Productions: http://www.jphayden.com/pegprod/forums/index.php A slight change to installation procedure is required for this file. The dat file should be placed in a folder named "ZZZ_Mods" in the MyDocsPlugins folder to work properly. PEG has found an issue with one of the airport packs and my file and this is his recommendation for installing my file. I would recommend that you move all of your seaport and airport pack files to the game's Plugins folder to prevent any other conflicts. Please read the Readme that is included in the zip. File History: Version 0: Original file: contained copies of seaport developer exemplars from above files. Version 2: Botched update: Nothing changed Version 3: File has been replaced with the correct version which removes un-necessary files after a long discussion that I had with PEG.The extra files caused MrTrueSage's Seaport Mod to not function correctly and messed up the default seaports. Version 4: Updated the readme. Version 5: Updated the readme again, and added 2 entries to the Main Seaport Developer File.
  3. American Fire Vehicles

    Version 1.0

    18,697 Downloads

    American Fire Department Units Detailed Models created by Ripptide Automata Models created by Swamper77 This download contains a collection of American Fire Department Units. Most of the units are additionals, which means they will appear in addition to the default fire truck. There is also a folder of replacement units that will replace the default fire truck. The available choices are: - Rural Fire Truck - Pumper Unit 1 - Ladder Unit The additionals will appear at random when you plop a fire station, dispatch a fire truck, or do UDI with the fire truck. The Fire Chief's car is an additional car that is available once a fire station exists. There isn't a mission script for it at this time and it cannot be dispatched. It has its own icon in the Land Vehicle UDI Catalog. All previous fire stations will need to be replopped for the fire chief's car to appear near them.
  4. Unfortunate event

    Sarcasm doesn't carry very well across the internet -Swamper77
  5. Tunnel Question

    For your particular setup, you will need to make the embankment 2 tiles wider. The game does not allow networks to be directly on top of tunnels. So you will need to have 4 tiles between the slopes that will be along side the network on the embankment. -Swamper77
  6. Avenue/Oneway intersection problems

    Temporarily remove the "Oneway Arrows Reduction" files from the June 2007 NAM from your plugins folder. Something about these files prevents that intersection from being made. -Swamper77
  7. Driveable Semi Trucks

    Rockraider: Windows may be hiding the DAT files since it believes they are "system files". There are 5 DATs in the zip. Ask for some help from others on how to make Windows display hidden and system files on your system.
  8. Is there a mod like this?

    Someone else will have to create the models for the clumps of trees for that to happen, but it could be done. Flora modding is outside of my modeling and modding abilities. -Swamper77
  9. BSC Prop Packs and Textures.

    Next time, post your issues with transit related mods/textures in either the Transit Modding, STEX Discussion, or Bugs & Technical Issues sections. This thread is for BSC props/textures issues. -Swamper77
  10. NAM General Discussion Thread

    Originally posted by: Yoshiislandthe red/green/yellow signals don't appear in front of turning lane roads/avenues.quote>Yoshi, Sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this. The stop light prop Exemplar and ATC files are in "NetworkAddonMod2.DAT" and the graphics & AVP files for them are in "NetworkAddonMod1.DAT. If both of these files are present on your computer, you should have them in the game. If they are still not appearing, then you have some other mod or file that is overriding them and preventing them from being shown. -Swamper77
  11. Is there a mod like this?

    This has been asked several times before and with the same answer given: No. The auto-street behavior of the RCI zones is controlled by the EXE and we do not have permission from EA to modify it. Please stop asking for this because it cannot be done. -Swamper77
  12. Shadow problems

    Switch your rendering from Software to Hardware under Options (...) -Swamper77
  13. College/University Time

    Colleges and Universities affect the entire city they are placed in. They will not provide education for the surrounding cities. -Swamper77
  14. Why am getting boxes in my game?

    If you are downloading BATs, which have SC4Model and SC4Desc files, you need Rush Hour or Deluxe to use them properly. -Swamper77
  15. Can't Find It? Ask Here!

    That is one of Marrast's stations. Search for "PRS" in your plugins. -Swamper77
  16. I would recommend not using these kinds of mods that require RPatch to work. They are rather old and modify the game's core files. And the only way to remove their effects is to reinstall the game. I suggest you download mods that come in a DAT format instead of a KBI format. The KBI files were created before we had an understanding of the game's file formats and the DAT format that is now frequently used for distributing mods. -Swamper77
  17. Missing Dock from Marina

    The Maxis marina requires a specific height above the water for the dock to show properly. Try raising the land and replopping the marina. -Swamper77
  18. I want to make my own interchanges...

  19. The troubles with menu

    One of the downloaded stuff is the seaport. The icon of that seaport is in the "seaport" menu - and it is ok. But the same icon is in the "train" menu. It makes the mess in the menu and I want to throw it out but don't know how to do it. Help me, please.quote>Due to some of the functions of the lots, they require specific settings. However, some of these settings are attached to the menus. There is no way around this. Even some of the Maxis rewards such as the marina and the stadium appear in multiple menus. -Swamper77
  20. Diagonal cross-streets

    Try bulldozing the dirt tile from the first segment before plopping the second one and see if that helps. -Swamper77
  21. When applying updates, the updater(s) reset your graphic settings to "Low". You will have to set them back to "High". -Swamper77
  22. That is a video card problem. I had similar issues with the ATI video card I used to use. I switched Nvidia and haven't seen those sorts of problems since. One of the video card gurus will have to help with this to help you configure your system to fix the problems. -Swamper77
  23. Request For Costom Game Menus

    This has been requested numerous times, but it is impossible to do since it would require modification of the EXE. -Swamper77
  24. How to: Make your own Mods

    Never modify the game's DAT files! You should copy the specific exemplars you are editing to a new DAT file with the Reader and save the new DAT file, which will load after the game's files. If the mods you downloaded were KBI files, you should not use them. They modify the game's DAT files and you will have to reinstall the game in order to remove their effects on the game. -Swamper77
  25. How to: Make your own Mods
