Hi all, I recently installed the RRW and I am having issues when I plop puzzle pieces. I have attached some pictures below. Also, I get the message on the third screenshot whenever I open my city. I would be very grateful is someone could point me to a way to solve this problem. Also, it should be mentioned that I was having no issues with the equivalent non-RRW pieces before I installed it. Cheers!

@CorinaMarie This is exactly the info I needed, thank you as always!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but here it goes.. I have run into countless lots and mods that use or reference the RealRailway (RRW) but I can't for the life of me find the actual thing, either on the STEX (many searches) or even my NAM folder. Anyone willing to shine some light will be much appreciated!

Thank you @Cyclone Boom! I figured there probably wasn't a mod that could specifically accomplish this, but I look forward to trying out creative zoning techniques. Cheers!

Hey all, I started my first city in probably over 9 years yesterday and it feels good to be back. I've spent hours re-creating my plugin folder and have stocked up on lots of quality low wealth, low density stuff to get me started. I am having an issue that I'm sure many have, and that is the fact that certain Maxis buildings dominate the scene, even with dozens of BATs also available. I had the two following questions: Are there any mods that suppress certain Maxis buildings? Is there a way to prevent identical buildings from growing next to each other (i.e. enforced diversity)? Any answers or clues would be highly appreciated!

I remember seeing a mod that created a visual construction effect when you build ploppables, but can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know what it is called?

@Cyclone Boom @CorinaMarie Thank you for the quick and thorough reply. This answers my question and much more! I'll take a look at everything you have shared and can't wait to get back to building cities as realistically as possible!

Hi all, It's been around 10 years since I've been on here. I used to play a lot back in the day and am looking to maybe get back to SC4 since my interest in urbanism never went away (I now work in real estate development, in no small part due to SimCity). I have a couple beginner questions to help me get started. First and foremost, I saw that Steam carries SC4. Would playing on Steam impede my ability to use mods? Also, what have been the biggest additions since 2010 or so (BATs/mods)? Have there been any mods that change gameplay and/or the underlying mechanics of the game? Thanks!

The key lies in the definition of marriage, really. If you believe that gays should be able to marry (which most Christians, including myself, don't), then I suppose it wouldn't be sinful for them to have relations. But since in most Christian churches, gays are not allowed to marry, whatever they may do falls outside the protection of marriage. Heterosexuals are also supposed to be likewise temperate when outside of marriage. Maybe it makes a little more sense now.

A sad day not just for sports, but for the world in general. A great coach and a great man.

Being gay per se is not a sin, but acting upon those urges is sinful. Temperance is key, but not just for gays. Heterosexuals also have to practice temperance in order to attain salvation. Who said getting into Heaven was easy?

Calm down.

What do you mean? Two lacrosse players were involved in the incident

Here is the story CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- A senior on the Virginia men's lacrosse team was charged Monday with the slaying of a fellow student on the women's team, stunning students at the picturesque campus. George Huguely, 22, of Chevy Chase, Md., was charged with first-degree murder in the death of 22-year-old Yeardley Love, also a senior, of Cockeysville, Md., Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said. Longo said Love's roommate called police around 2:15 a.m. concerned that Love may have had an alcohol overdose, but police found her dead with obvious physical injuries. "It was quickly apparent to them that this young lady was the victim of something far worse," Longo said. The police chief said that Huguely and Love were in relationship at some point and that Huguely quickly became the focus. Longo would not detail the extent of Love's injuries, but said there did not appear to be any weapons used in the slaying. A steady stream of students preparing for finals later in the week wandered down the street that runs by the house where Love's body was found. Drivers slowed down and pointed as they approached the building. "Everybody's kind of taking a wait-and-see approach," said Drew Cook, a 22-year-old senior from Burke. Cook said all he knew was what was included in an e-mail sent to the university community. He said suggestions from police that it could be a domestic incident and there were no other suspects didn't ease tensions. "Just to hear that anybody in the U.Va. community could be suspected of that, regardless of the relationship, does give you a sense of unease," Cook said. Kyle Cecil, 22, of Newport News, said he was shocked to see police cars at the building Monday morning. He said Love's death was the talk of campus. He lived on the same hall as Huguely as a freshman and knew him well enough to say hello. "It's sad that two people with a lot of potential, one their life is over and the other's life is significantly altered," Cecil said. Huguely was being held in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail. Huguely and Love were scheduled to graduate later this month. Leonard Sandridge, executive vice president of the university, said the campus was saddened over Love's death. He added the shock is magnified by the fact that the accused is "one of our own," he told reporters. Both highly ranked teams are preparing for the national tournament later this month. Virginia's men's team was ranked No. 1 for most of the season and expects to host a first-round game in the tournament after winning the Atlantic Coast Conference championship last month. The women's team also was expected to get into the tournament. Huguely, a midfielder, wasn't a starter but played in all 15 games this season. He had four goals and three assists. Love played defense and started in three games this season. According to ESPN's Quint Kessenich, the men's and women's programs met Monday, and the athletes discussed the possibility of not playing in the upcoming NCAA tournaments -- but no final decision has been reached yet. When asked how the death would affect the upcoming tournament, athletics director Craig Littlepage said it was "not even entering into our thoughts" but that for the players' sake they wanted to "try to get back to some things that are normal." Love was "a person who was described as an angel by teammates and friends," Littlepage said. Love played varsity lacrosse and field hockey for four years at Notre Dame Preparatory School in Baltimore. "Yeardley was an outstanding young lady -- joyous, spirited a wonderful person," said Sister Patricia McCarron, headmistress of the school. "I know we all enjoyed watching her on the lacrosse field and seeing her walk the hallways at NDP. We are proud to call Yeardley 'one of our girls."' Mary Bartel, who coached Yeardley in lacrosse at Notre Dame Prep, said, "Yeardley was the core of the personality of the team. She was our laughter, a good soul. She always found an appropriate way to lighten things up. "I don't think there is a soul in this building who couldn't say her name without smiling. Yeardley loved NDP, and NDP loved her. She was a good soul and an outstanding athlete." University president John Casteen said in a release on the university's website that Love's death "moves us to deep anguish for the loss of a student of uncommon talent and promise." "That she appears now to have been murdered by another student compounds this sense of loss by suggesting that Yeardley died without comfort or consolation from those closest to her," Casteen said. Casteen said Love did not deserve to die. "She deserved the bright future she earned growing up, studying here, and developing her talents as a lacrosse player," he said. "She deserves to be remembered for her human goodness, her capacity for future greatness, and for the terrible way in which her young life has ended." What do you guys think?
