I have installed SC4 for Mac onto my MacBook Pro, and I am noticing a heap of problems. I also have a copy of the Windows version, but I find it frustrating just to reboot everytime I want to play (for performance reasons) and it would be even more frustrating that I would have to download the plug-ins again for the Windows version, and put it on the PC (I haven't tried running SC4 in VMware Fusion, if anyone has tried it, please tell me, what was it like?!) When I load SC4 and zoom to the lowest level, the road, zoning and cell pointer texture (white box) become mucked up. I have the latest patch, and my MBP is new (but not the newest model now) running with nVidia GeForce 9400 + 9600 graphics @ 256MB VRAM. Building Draw Speed is set to any stage, and it is very sluggish. HOW CAN I CURB THIS GRAPHICAL PROBLEM!!

If feeling really confused on how to properly use the the RHW neighbour connectors. Are their any in-depth tutorials?

Yes, absolutely. The way they work is by making the connection bidirectional, which tricks the game into allowing car traffic. The paths for "wrong way" traffic are far underground so they aren't really visible. The only real side-effect that comes about from this is "spider car syndrome" , in which you may sometimes see vehicles driving down the edge of your city tile. (OT: Heh . . . Spider Car Syndrome. Sounds like a good band name.) -Alex (Tarkus) Thanks

Is it normal for the Traffic map to point below the surface at a neighbour connector for RHW?

Thanks for the feedback. Not that the "Standard" format is covered, how to I properly apply this technique to the "Compact" format, ie. RHW-6C

This has been happening for a while now. I am installing SimCity 4 on a computer, and I goes through both disks. When it comes to the second disk, I am lead to believe that I am ment to be prompt to return the first disk to the machine to finalise the install, and launch the game. This never happens and the installer crashes. Thinking that the install has finished, i insert the first disk, run the game. an the game will not even load. I choose to run the game through the "Run As..." option and select "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity". Select OK, and am prompted with the following: Title: "Error: CreateDirectory(C:\DOCUME~1\[username]\LOCALS~1\Temp\) Description: "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." So I clear out my Temp folder, and the problem reoccures! How do I fix this.....

I can't remember if bumping is not allowed, but anyway......... bump!

Might I be more specific... When Disk 2 has completed a majority of it's contents. This installation dialog box closes suddnely, and the Splash Screen doesn't display. Nor does the splash screen display when I select the game from the hard disk. When the installation dialog closes; I open Task Manager to check what's happening with the SimCity installation, and nothing is present!

If it is possible, i'll get some images to visualise the problem.

Sometimes when I insert a MySim into a city, he/she sometimes conplains about the commute around their house. On mose occasions, a bus stop is place next to or near their house, and they don't stop complaining about the commute. Why does this happen?

Did you download any dependencies they were needed?

Originally posted by: SC4BOY The one exception is FARMS.. they an only grow farms, but the farms can be any "Stage" (1-3 for standard SC RH/Delux) quote> Thanks for mentioning about farms cause that is another problem i have. What do you mean by stages, because when they build they either become grain planting or fruit picking, and i am unsure by the term stages. Also, looking through the Omnibus, i cam across a tutorial featuring rural pastures, and his farms where different, by what was growing on them See pics on Onmibus https://www.simtropolis.com/omnibus/index.cfm/Main.SimCity_4.Realistic_Rural_Rail

I love the idea of having Ped Malls in our SimCity games, but I have been creating town lately and would like to request ped malls that have zebra crossings. See below. It may be perfect for small towns. Also i would request ped malls the T intercent with a street/road/avenue/etc for ped to walk onto without the need for a bus EDIT: To be honest, I found one on the STEX, https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=3861 I definatly need sto be apart of the next NAM asap.

As I am laying out am farming towns and distics, the building always start off as a 1x1 tile building and the rest is either fields of trees or grains. Over time, I would start to expect the buildings to change and become bigger with grain mills, etc. But they don't. They always stay the same. Maybe i'm too impatient. Would this be my error. PS. What farming mod changes the look of the patures to be more realistic?

The area is supposed to be rural town with R$ and CS$. Looking throught the Onmibus, The author says their is an error with MySim and a bus stop placed near the house. So i seems the problem is universal

I've downloaded NAM and a TRAM Modd onto my city and thought i should have a go at connecting both EL Rail and GLR together. Once that was completed, i played at U-Drive-it and picked the Elevated Rail. the Tram Mod replaced the El Rail train vehical. Why did it do this? Why won't my el rail train show up with my tram. PS. Thank you NAM team for building Tram on street. now the only problem is linking Tram-in-road to tram-in-street and the 90 degree pieces to the tram-in-street

We all have successful beginnings. Our profits are usually more than 7x our expenses. Yet as my city grows and commercial increases demand, schools low on students and mass transit becoming clogged at nearly every intersection in residential zoning. I can upload some images when I get the chance. Tips and links to lots that can improve my gaming will be greatly appreciated

I've seen videos on YouTube and read the NAM readme's and i am getting a little worried about the Rail network been mixed with the Subway and Elevated Rail networks. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo5ELFXMYpI In the tutorial the host shows that connecting rail to El Rail and Subway helps create a HUGE transport network, is it safe to do so or is it just and error. Same with NAM having a underground tunnel, if that is connected to the subway, would that create the trains to start visiting the subway station and vice versa? EDIT: Not to forget the T-ram network aswell

I am looking in the STEX and LEX for Textures that update my SC4 roads and allow car sprites to be parked like you see on the side of roads and streets. I am having trouble finding it and I would appriciate it if people could supply links to it. Thanks

I've seen some pictures in the forums that are different to Maxis' default layout. EG. Environment changes Species of trees Smooth sloping roads Rivers without a beach! What are they, and where can I find them?

What are the best files to download off the STEX (or ST-Exchange). I would like a list to be provided for people to refer to when wanting a popular (and one that doesn't crash the game) STEX file. It can range from NAM to ground texture replacemets, from toll booths to the Highway Sign. Anything that is worth downloading You will need the Name, Compadibiltiy, and the hyperlink attached to it.

i, myself am nearly turning 16 and have been browsing ST-Exchange for a while. Love IT and Sim City is my favorite game clearly

I am having some trouble using the search, sometimes when i enter a keyword, a page then somes up with codes for ColdFusion. What are the codes for and do i need ColdFusion on my PC?
