  1. I recently had to clean up the main hard drive on my computer (C:). I had a lot of files and stuff related to Sim City 4, so I decided to move all of the stuff to the external hard drive on my computer (E:). I moved the folder called "Sim City 4" from the "My Documents" folder on the C: drive to the E: drive. I was able to move it, but when I loaded up Sim City 4, all of the regions I had created (as well as all of my plugins) were missing. I changed the shortcut properties and set the E: drive as the target, but I had the same problem. I tried to reinstall the game, but it wouldn't let me. I changed the "start in" to the E:\Sim City 4 (for the folder I created) and the target to My Computer, but it won't work. What's worse, now it won't let me change it. HELP PLEASE!!?!?!
  2. I am having an issue with the graphics while running Sim City 4 from my HP Windows 8.1 laptop (I do not know any other technical specifications, so please don't ask unless the advice that you give depends on it). I've attached an image below. As you can see, some of the Maxis houses are missing the fences, and almost all of them are missing other details such as yard objects, driveways, etc. In addition, the road textures haven't changed (I've installed the most recent version of NAM, and even some additional road texture mods) and the traffic lights appear to be very blocky and pixelated. I am running the game in compatibility mode for Windows 7, and have my graphics being rendered through the software. Anyone have any advice to fix these things?

  3. Minor Graphics Issue (Windows 8.1)

    I fixed all of the issues. Thank you to everyone who helped!

  4. Minor Graphics Issue (Windows 8.1)

    klpcast replied to klpcast's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    I solved the stoplight issue by installing MandelSoft's stoplight mod. I tried running NAM, and set the road textures to the default Maxis textures (I had to pick an option). That didn't work. Is there anything else that could fix this?

  5. Minor Graphics Issue (Windows 8.1)

    klpcast replied to klpcast's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    I've attached two images showing the problems. The top image (Image 1) shows an intersection in which there are no intersection markings on the road, and the traffic lights appear to be blocky. This appeared after installing NAM. The bottom image (Image 2) shows standard road/street intersections with no markings on the road. They appear to be the standard Maxi road textures, and installing NAM did not do anything to change it. Neither of these issues affect gameplay, but I find them to be a huge eyesore. I hope this is detailed enough for you to (hopefully) find a solution.

  6. Minor Graphics Issue (Windows 8.1)

    klpcast replied to klpcast's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    I apologize for the late reply, but I can not for the life of me find it. I tried searching using Windows Explorer, and even performed a separate search of the external hard drive where I have the game installed. Could it possibly be under a different name?

  7. Minor Graphics Issue (Windows 8.1)

    klpcast replied to klpcast's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues

    I changed the detail quality to high and that fixed the issue with the Maxis lots. The reason why I have it set to software mode instead of hardware mode is because I was having another (unrelated) issue with the graphics in which parts of the map would show up blank. The only way I could fix that was by changing from hardware to software. I am running a version I bought as a download off of Amazon about a year ago. Right now, I want to figure out how to fix the road textures and the traffic lights. I thought the picture had attached when I first posted this. Hmm. Here it is now. I'm sorry if it is hard to see, I did a print screen while running the game and just pasted it into paint.

  9. Post Modding Requests Here

    klpcast replied to Tropod's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion

    Can someone make a Culver's restaurant, in the classic design, in a 2x3, 3x3, 4x3, or 4x4 lot? I've been waiting for one for years. Here's a picture:http://www.google.com/imgres?start=118&hl=en&biw=1600&bih=730&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=nhBR7hsdxl4TvM:&imgrefurl=http://ascribehq.com/driesenga-associates/portfolio/434&docid=cML1FVLgio5cuM&imgurl=http://ascribehq.com/assets/photos/large/12d6c6754d45cdc668a7ba6937f9c819cc8b3db5.jpg&w=350&h=238&ei=TA-LT-fBJpCe8QTsxM3zCQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=367&vpy=432&dur=451&hovh=185&hovw=272&tx=104&ty=135&sig=106505264545988158785&page=6&tbnh=163&tbnw=217&ndsp=26&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:118,i:73
  10. Hmm, it's strange that you're not able to change it back, but I do know that SimCity tries to detect its save files in the My Documents folder. I'm not sure how to change that, but it should stay there if you want to be able to load your regions. What do you mean? Also, now that I can't change the target location and stuff, I can't even load the game.

  11. Swat-medic, I approve of yours too!!

  12. Hey, you have some great files. I was wondering, do you take requests? I've been trying to find a certain restaurant on the STEX for years and I haven't been able to find it.
