This has now been down since last week. After I told them their BS answers didnt work they gave me the old, we will look into it" response. Anyone want to bet that it never gets resolved?

WOW!! This is getting funny. It is still going on and I have been talking to EA about it today. I will put the convo up when its all over. So far, I told them I tried on three different machines and it gives the same internal server/apache error. They then tell me to clear my cache! DUUUUUUURRRRRR! LMAO!

So I went to the trouble of registering so that I could get my local region. I select it and hit the button to generate and it gives an internal server error! ARGGGGGG!!! Anyone else? I have tried it on multiple computers.

I will never make a ploppable city. To me thats cheating and removes the the challenge of the game. I have a 500k people city with almost zero polution that was made the old fashioned way. The only polution I have is from traffic. So what does the NAM really do? Does it make the game actually take logical routes to work? Is it a cheat?

All your cities are belong to us!

Some of them are definately working! However when I do the cleanitol thing it says it is already done for every pack I do it for. I see some new buildings. Some of them have a new window when you query them but not all of them do. Is this correct? Thanks!!

Sweet! Thank you! So all I need is the bat things and any dependencies in my plug ins folder? So, the stuff I put in my plug-ins folder last night should show up at sometime correct? I have a city that is like 400 years old and has like 500k people IIRC but after I did the install for that pack, I didnt notice any changes. I could have easily missed it though.....

Looks pretty sweet! Thanks for that! Couple of nub questions though- what are dependancies and where do I get them? How do i know what to get? Also, how do I get these new buildings into the game? Im a nub on SC4 mods but am a computer tech so basic explanation is all I need, hopefully.... LOL!! Thanks again!

Also, I tried clicking the ndex and bsc links in the newcomers thread and just get an error message.

So are there like packages that just add a bunch of buildings? Like I said, not really looking for ploppable stuff, just some new commercial/resi/industrial buildings.

Ok so, I downloaded the BSC MEGA Props - SG Vol 01 on the bsc exchange over at SC4D. I ran the install package and everything. I found the folder and file in my plug ins folder but nothing is different in the game. What am I missing here? Heres what I want to do: Download more buildings add them to the game i do not want them ploppaple the more I can add, the merrier do they have to replace the default buildings or can they just be added on? what steps am i missing? Thanks in advance for any help!

Oh, I wasnt saying I had that amount of RAM I was just stated that I had found that as it was quite funny. I have a 1GB Radeon HD4870 and 3GB system RAM on Vista Home premium. The game really does run pretty good I suppose. I am at nearly 500k people and it is not too bad. Is there any way to correct the anisotropic filetering issues? Thanks all!!

I googled this a bit and found some old stuff. One was a guy suggesting to people that they needed at least two gigs of RAM and then another guy telling him that was absurd! LMAO!

Hi everyone! Well, Im sort of new but not really. Been playing SC since it came out on SNES then played 2000, then 3000, and now 4! I had 4 when it first came out on my Athlon 1700/Radeon 9700 pro system. That thing crapped about a couple of years ago and I just got around to building a new machine. I am now running a Athlon quad core 9500 with a Radeon HD4870 1GB. The game works for the most part but I do have some questions/issues First off- it doesnt work right with antisotropic filtering on. It works but I cant see zones or roads as I buld them. Also some things are missing. The fireworks go off but are invisible, etc. Works fine without the filtering. Any ideas on this? I have tried multiple drivers. Secondly, this game is hella old and should run ultra smooth on my rig but doesnt. it starts to bog a bit when my city gets big. (Im at 300,000). Is there any tweaks or anything to improve this? I have all the patches. I am running at 1620x1080 full settings.
