  1. I'm running a Vista 64 bit with a Phenom II quad processor along with 4GB of DDR3 ram, an ATI 5770 with 1 GB of memory This problem recently cropped up when I loaded one of my cities yesterday: The backyard props and fences became blue, and my freeways disappeared. Strangely, this only affects maxis props/textures. Is there anything I can do to restore it?
  2. Escape from Odessa

    After the crash, all Willy could do was wander... empty streets... Empty factories... Empty docks...wait a second... thats the USS H20! Willy is greeted to a sailor mentioning that this the final Odessa Evac and taken aboard the extra storage compartments. No reports of enemy attacks recently on the river...but you can never be too careful... At the sub pen Willy manages to slip away from the crew. He has about $2.25 in his pocket. Enough for a bus fare... The bus dumps him off at the Financial District. "Sleep. Need time to think." mumbles a broken man. A broken man known as Willy. "Need...sleep...can't...keep...walking..." " I see something...in the skyline...hotel...yes..yes!" As he enters the lobby he realizes he has absolutely nothing in cash. He pull out his debit card, mumbling, "Please, put me in whatever room I can afford." Going up to his room, he realizes he has a key to the penthouse. Thanks for viewing! Please rate and comment! And I will be providing an overview of Odessa at some point.
  3. Escape from Odessa

    Thanks everyone! All the tree mods I use for the NWM can be found here: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?p=files&keyword=jackxu&view=all But please do be merciful when rating, It seem recently people are giving me a lot of 1/5s and it bit upsetting after putting a lot of work into this journal.

  7. STEX Refuge Center (aka AltSTEX)

  11. On the Heli

    Willy regained consciousness. His head is limp against the interior window of a helicopter. He can't muster the energy to move it. "Looks like we're taking off." He mumbles quietly to himself. Within moments, the severity of the situation strikes him. Willy decides its best just to watch: " Looks like a nice place to live..." passes through his mind, as the helicopter speeds by this mysterious city. " Tanks...what could tanks be doing here...just a training exercise, I'm sure..." he thinks. "Must be a whole division down there...looks like they're going somewhere..." "What? What... in the name of god..." "What's happened!?!Odessa! " he finally says aloud, which is met by silence from his captors, "My wife! My kids!" fails to generate a response. A flash can be seen from miles. Willy's attention is focused immediately on the source. "Preforming Evasive Maneuvers" is heard from the cockpit. "God..." Thanks for viewing!

  13. A Journey On the Rails

    After another successful meeting with the North New Little Odessa Chamber of Commerce, Mr.Brown, owner and proprietor of Potomac Attire, must return back to his shop keeping duties. With two Chesapeake and Ohio tickets in his back pocket, Mr. Brown set out for Union Station. On foot, he passes by the district court and the WNRR radio station. His walk takes him through the city's bustling CBD. Being a very portly man, Mr.Brown can barely lug himself up the stairs of Union Station. Within moments of boarding, Mr.Brown is shown to his seat in the parlor car, and the train pulls out of the station. After a quick nap, Mr.Brown realizes hes already in the country side! However, the expansion of suburbia continues to encroach upon the most beautiful of rural scenes. At last, Mr. Browns train finally arrives at South New Little Odessa and he readies himself for another painful walk. However, under the circumstances, Mr. Brown decided it would be best to take the subway. At long last, Mr. Brown returned back to his business, Potomac Attire, in the south side. Thanks for viewing!

  14. Multicolored Boxes Replacing Buildings

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Simcity 4 Deluxe while saving my regions and plugins. I placed my regions and plugins back into their appropriate folders, and now all my cities are displaying as they should. Thanks for the help guys!

    Love that Aqueduct!
  16. Multicolored Boxes Replacing Buildings

    @avrelivs The strange thing is that these are all Maxis buildings that failing to display their textures not the community made ones (with the exception the of suburban houses). And unfortunately the Data view->Zones->all off didn't do anything @ A Nonny Moose My GPU has 1 GB of memory, I also installed the Ep-1 update very recently, which may have been a bad idea.
  17. Multicolored Boxes Replacing Buildings

    I hope not! Its a Radeon 5770, a fairly reliable card, a little bit less than a year old and was running for about an hour with non-graphic intensive programs. This problem is most peculiar.
  18. Multicolored Boxes Replacing Buildings

    Yes it does do the same for software mode. Ill check the settings of my graphics card.
  19. Multicolored Boxes Replacing Buildings

    My in-game graphics setting already is in hardware. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    @ROLFyoshi: Thanks! @TheMentalist: Thanks! @Treason04: Hahaha, your comments never fail to flatter.
  22. A City Of Industry

    "There exist limitless opportunities in every industry. Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier. " -Charles Kettering We begin this city Journal with a look at New Little Odessa's gritty industrial waterfront, a center of manufacturing and commerce. Unfortunately the cities docks are ill equipped for large container ships,making the loading process slow and expensive. Hopefully this issue will be resolved with the opening of new container port on New Little Odessa's northern shore. The waterfront also provides aid to the city's essential public services in the form of trash disposal. The Old South Coal Station stands out in the waterfront. Trawlers and their crews awaiting better seas at port. Odessa's coast guard station prepares for search and rescue on high seas. Hope you enjoyed! I'm completely open to new suggestions, so if you have any, feel free to leave them in the comment section below!
  23. Shepherds Cross: Part Two 'A Walk w/ Dasha'

    Awesome update! The town really has such a hip feel. 
  24. The wrong side of the tracks

    I love the gritty feel! 
  25. Ehhh, some random shots to keep you going...

    Nice pictures! I really like the placement of the underground station and the grass. Makes ya feel like the subways rumbling underneath.
