I'm having a repeating issue. It happened with your initial release and I'm having the same issue with the latest version. I have the stand alone SC4 Delux installed to "G:\SimCity\SimCity 4". Here's the settings I have selected (though I get the same errors universally): Here's the errors I get:

Logic_Bomb, I bleeping love you! I had my SC4 setup correctly, but have since reformatted my machine and forgot to back it all up. I'm about to reinstall SC4 on steam and was going to reinstall NAM, etc. and this will help a lot. Thanks a bunch!

I think this is what I needed. I'll try it when I get home. Thanks!

I want to make a really large, hi-rez image of my city. It will require me to take multiple screenshots and piece them together in Photoshop. To my knowledge, SC4 doesn't have a screenshot key, does it? If it does, would someone please share that info with me? Currently I have to use Window's Print Screen, alt-tab out, paste it into PS and repeat. It'd be a lot easier if I could just take a series of screenshot and batch them into PS all at once.

To those of you who said "it always works for me", here is a screenshot to illustrate my problem. The block on the left was done using the game's calculations. The one on the right was me manually laying down a row of residential 3-cells deep, then doing the same thing on the right side. Obviously the manually laid out zone is much more well organized and is connected to streets. My gripe can be summarized in my screenshot. Why isn't the game smart enough to do this everytime? Surely having the outcome where all lots are connected is better than having lots face each other.

So, let me get this straight. I've never really been interested in the regional aspect of SC4. But if I want to make a large, successful, well populated city, I will probably need to create neighboring cities so that it will have a high enough cap to allow for this? I really would rather just continue to focus on my MAIN city, but I suppose if it's stagnating in population, then I should start up some new neighbors and build those out too?

I will try to upload some images for reference later, but for now, please try and follow what I'm getting at. When you put down a zone, regardless of type, do you have as much trouble as I do getting the lots to properly face the roads and the streets? I know you can hold down combinations of Shift or Alt to get change the orientation of the lots, but I still find myself not getting alignment with the roads 1/3 times. I don't know if it's even possible, but has someone made a mod, or a ptach, or SOMETHING that makes the lots orient them selves to the road in a more intelligent manner? Having to babysit each lot to make sure it's facing the right way when I'm dropping down a new neighborhood is really annoying.

I'm sure someone has done this, but I searched under a few different words and didn't come up with anything significant. Is there a megapack or something I can get that will add to the existing buildings in SC4RH? I don't want crazy, strange buildings, or buildings that're rewards/functional/etc. I just want to spice up the variety of my offices, apartment towers, and industrial areas. I desperately want to make it so that I won't keep seeing 10 versions of the same 15 story residential building in one screen. Anyone have any suggestions?

This will work great. Thank you!

For a project I want to do, I'm looking for a pre-constructed city/region that I can download. I'm looking for something that is very developed with a population approaching 500k+ on a decent-sized map. I'm looking for something similar to a real-world citiy, with a mixture of skyscrapers, mid-rise structures, highways, avenues, and the like. I'd prefer it if it was done with standard SC4RH, so I don't have to worry about compatability and getting custom files. Does anyone have a city like this that they'd be willing to share?
