Thanks for the suggestion, Kel9509. I just tested by emptying my plugins folder except for the DLL, then launching the game. The screen goes black for a moment, then crashes to desktop before showing the startup splash. I tested again by removing the DLL, then launching the game. The screen goes black, shows the startup splash, then loads the region. Removing the DLL prevents a crash. Here's the latest MDMP if that helps. SimCity Exception Minidump 2025.09.09 18.44.25.mdmp The prior version of the DLL did not cause a crash. Unfortunately, I replaced it with the new version, so I don't have the previous version anymore.

Ah, my apologies, here you go. SimCity Exception Minidump 2025.09.09 01.41.00.mdmp

Thanks for the quick response! Sorry to say, but I don't know what an MDMP file is or where to find it. When I open the text file in my plugins folder it simply says: "SC4ResourceLoadingHooks v2.0.0" About to head to bed, but I'll check in tomorrow. Thanks again! -Blade Edit: Think I found the MDMP, here's the report: Exception time: 09/09/2025, at 01:41:00. Exception code: 0xC0000005 (-1073741819) ACCESS_VIOLATION.

Hey Null 45, I downloaded the updated Resource Loading Hooks DLL you posted today. I placed it in my plugins folder and discarded the previous version. Now, when I launch SimCity 4, it crashes to desktop before reaching the region view. When I remove the DLL and try loading the game again, it loads properly. Any chance I've done something wrong? Thanks! -Blade

Hey hugues aroux, I've encountered an issue with your SAM1 mod and hope you can help me figure it out. When I use the seasonal "WWStreets-SAM-01_T21_Segments_RHD" .dat file, I get brown boxes between the in-game hours of 11 AM and 5 PM. However, when I try using the evergreen "WWStreets-SAM-01_T21_Segments_EG_RHD" .dat file, I do not get brown boxes. Obviously, I must not have a specific timed prop, but I cannot figure out what it is. I've got the latest versions of all the requisite dependencies (and the dependencies of the dependencies), but I still get brown boxes between the hours of 11 AM and 5 PM. Seasonal between the hours of 11 AM and 5PM: Evergreen between the hours of 11 AM and 5 PM: I also used your WestWind Streets texture repository to incorporate my sidewalk mod and grass textures. I noticed a bit of Maxis sidewalk sneak through and wanted to let you know. It also looks as if the street is curving out toward the GLR line. Of course, I'm using so many mods at this point that I have no idea how to keep up with all the cross references. That said, this is a truly beautiful, comprehensive, and creative mod - I love all the details and variety. Thank you for creating it and sharing your texture repository with us. I hope you continue to support it. -Blade

Please release this on the STEX!

Protected bike lanes. Now available here.

@Tyberius06 and @Dead_End, thank you! And Tyberius06, you are absolutely astonishing, haha. Question on the SFBT items: Would you know who the LEX author was for those? Like, who uploaded those files? Chances are pretty good I already downloaded them at one point, I just can't find them on my computer because I organize most of my plugins by author. I found Cafe Kranzler under Chrisim and I found Coldstone Apartments under Vil. But I'm not sure who uploaded Bretgasse Corner or Schlafwagen Gesellschaft. Thanks again to you both!

Inspired by Haarlemmergold's Dutch buildings and Paeng's Kingston Market, I used PIM to convert a model from Haarelmmergold's Dutch Farmhouse Pack into a CS$$ building and created a little W2W farmer's market corner lot. Fun fact: Did you know that 13 of Haarlemmergold's 107 files on the STEX have corrupted Lot Configurations and will never grow in your cities? What do you think, could this use anything else?

Anyone know who made these buildings? Thanks in advance!

That’s the SimFox GLR station.

Hey rsc204, hope all is well. I used your Sidewalk NAM (SWN) texture automation script and GoFSH to make my first sidewalk mod (a little tweak to the Paeng sandstone sidewalks). Loving the results! I wanted to report a texture issue: GLR that crosses turning lanes. Otherwise, everything looks great so far. Thanks!

I made my first sidewalk mod! I've always loved Paeng's sandstone sidewalk mod, but never used it because I don't like how rectangular bricks can misalign when rotated 90 degrees. Regardless, I really like the color palette and I think the size of the pavers scale well in-game. So, I changed the pavers from rectangles to squares in photoshop (also my first time using photoshop), and used the various texture automation scripts to unify everything. I love the results!
