Is Sim City 4 going to be compatible with Windows 7?
Amtrak7 replied to skyscraperC3's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
SC4 is no longer working for me: First, I installed it on Win7 x64. It launched fine with my plugins folder. This was about 3 weeks ago. Now, I can open the game, but when I try to create or open a city, the screen goes black and the program quits. No error message, just crashing and closing. The exception report says "access denied", but I didn't have to run as admin in Vista, and my plugins are all in the Documents folder. An attempt without plugins nets the same result. -
Did it leave behind radiation?

Have a problem- I am attempting to register with my key. Problem is, Firefox keeps saying that my connection was reset. After several tries, it worked. Would all that trying cause problems? Is there a deadline to download the beta as soon as you got the key?

He's talking about these: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=16217 You need the dependencies: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=11824 https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=14023 https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=397 https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=342 https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=11340 The last one is the PEG CDK Industrial lots. Is there a way to prevent these lots from having menu icons, yet still satisfy the dependency requirement?

Are the mac and Windows versions the same, just one has an installer and one doesn't?

It means that you have downloaded the code used by iLive to write the Reader. It is uncompiled and can't run without Visual Studio. I suggest that you download ready-to-run Reader from here: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21343

The Ilive's Reader download on Simprograms is the source code.

No need to install. Just extract the zip to a folder and run reader.exe. Read the beginner's guide stickied in this forum.

SimCity 4: Rush Hour (Graphics Issue)
Amtrak7 replied to Featherlight's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
What rendering mode are you using? -
I have a problem, and it's with the use of a train mod. It's available here: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=21311 Long Island Railroad original engine replacement (RHPEngineLIRR_Original.dat) For some reason, I now have double passenger train UDI icons after installing the mod.

Things not in SC4 I want in XL: Freight trucks go to commerce, ports, and railroads. Realistic prices and monthly costs Easier modding without having to find loopholes One gigantic piece of land, not multiple separate cities Realistic power/water/garbage stats and scaling ALL of the NAM and STR's features Easier to use menu system Subway over subway intersections Post offices Middle schools Congestion tolerance Camera angles Accurate pathfinding and congestion simulation systems Realistic disasters (hurricane, tornado, earthquake, fire, meteor, volcano) Realistic income sources (different types of taxes, utility bills, etc.) Commercial customers not based on road traffic Fixed automata (deserted streets at night, no fading) NO: UDI Coverage radii that are circles (squares would be better) Funky SCS features Overly general citizen complaints Imaginary buildings I am willing to accept a delay.

Advanced Research Center, Disease Research Center
Amtrak7 replied to trojan_47's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Advanced Research Center is a high-tech demand cap buster. Disease Research Center improves health. Note: Both produce radiation unless the mod from the STEX is installed. -
LE0- What happened????

Cities connected soley by mass transit
Amtrak7 replied to Amtrak7's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Originally posted by: Bones1 Your problem is likely getting people to take El-Rail, because they likely don't have anywhere to park and ride. Regular rail is working for you because the rail transit station includes a parking lot. Thus, sims can get in their car, drive to the station, then transfer on to the rail. El-Rail and monorail station do NOT include parking. So, you have to place a parking garage directly adjacent to the rail station. That will give the park & ride space that the sims need to drive to the station and then take El-Rail (or monorail).quote> Tried running this layout down the center of a medium tile: Road El-rail Av. Av. El-rail Road Park/Ride was implemented. Abandonment eventually occured because of Avenue congestion. As population grew, bus and car traffic grew, with the bus being more than car. El-rail grew very slowly. It seems that there is a population minimum for people to use el-rail, and that the poor don't like it. True/False?
