Hi, I just re-installed sim city 4 deluxe and I haven't played it in like a year I tried downloading something to see if it would work... and well... it didn't D: It download, opened winrar and then I went to extract it to the plug-in file and I get this error window saying WinRAR: Diagnostic messages <(name of popup window) C:blah\blah\blah\blah\ Pizza Hut.zip: cannot create LJS Pizza Hut/LJS Pic.jpg The system cannot find the path specified it does this with all the files that are in it I think Does anyone know how to fix it? or am I doing something wrong? My PC has been messing up alot lately, maybe I have an error somewhere.. Thanks for any help, sorry if wrong section

I got this error [#10863]You may not download any more files until your other downloads are complete when trying to download I'm using firefox, and I was downloading a bunch of stuff and the download window froze or something, so I tried restarting and tried to re-download what I was trying to get, but I keep getting that error... is there any way to fix this? The download window (for firefox) has nothing in it, I stopped the downloads that were there thanks

I'm trying to download maps from the STEX - > https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/category/6-map/page__dosort__1__sort_key__file_downloads__sort_order__desc Only info I can find on how to do it has been super confusing to follow... >_< Can anyone help me out a little more on how to download one of these maps.. for example the Buffalo New York map or Toronto map? I was told to check this guide out.. I downloaded the buffalo one, put the config.bmp into the region folder. I named a folder Buffalo New York that I put it into I was told to download Terraformer, and to open up that region in it? But nothing shows up? Maybe this is the wrong information I been told.. What steps do I need to follow to download these maps from ST EXchange? Anyone got a map for idiots book? lol Thanks for any help

Thanks CaptCity and Yarahi for all the help! I like having maps that are actual place's where I live.. like Toronto, as being I'm Canadian lol Thanks again!

Ok.. sounds good I downloaded a Toronto map and its rendering now Thanks for the info, and hope to hear back EDIT: Also.. is there a way to change umm.. not sure what they call them... how big a city is? like when you first load a region.. all those white lines? like tiles or something.. is there a way to change how many.. or how big or where they go?

Okay.. I did put it in the maxis one.. I put it in my document one now But I tried that ctrl alt shift R thingy and found the buffalo.jpg and tried to render but it must be the wrong size? says Region Generation error Region bitmap size is incorrect ~~ 2049x2049. should be 1025x1025 how do I change the size? Also.. whats the diffrence between the SC4 in my documents, or in the maxis file? Like when I download stuff for plug-in's where is it supposed to go?

I dunno if I'm doing something wrong.. but I downloaded the Buffalo New York map, put those 2 files into the region, started the game, loaded an existing region, then tried to find the one I made.... but it's not showing? Sorry yes, just say your edit as I responded. Yes that is the map. So I do that ctrl alt shift R and find that file then?

Well, I think I got something to work. I tried downloading it to a folder I made on my desktop, and then copy/paste into the plug-in folder. Now the strange thing is, (I don't remember this a year ago when I played) is that when I created a folder in the Plug-in folder and copy/pasted the files into it, it was asking me for like.. administrative privileges Anyone know how to stop that? If not I can live with the extra clicking and whatnot lol.. will just take a bit longer Anyways, thanks again all

Well... I don't know what to do I re-downloaded Sim City 4 deluxe, along with the rush hour. I tried the WinZip thing but nothing seems to be getting extracted into the plug-in folder?? and I'm using VISTA laptop, not window's 7

Do you get this problem when u are using Winrar? Or is it only that specific file? Some other option might be to try and use WinZIP, install that and try it again... And some word of advise, if you are getting alot pc problems, it might be usefull to do a clean re-install of your windows... It solves alot of problems in a bang :-) I downloaded a police station, went to extract with WinRAR and got that error window. I tried with a few other building downloading thingys and same thing. -I'm using firefox, so when I download, it downloads through the download window thingy and that automatically opens with WinRAR and then I extract it I'll try WinZip and see if it works Also, what do you mean by a clean re-install of windows? How would I go about this lol? Sorry I'm not the greatest with computers Thanks everyone else for the help! I'll try some of these tips and see if it fix's it

I got a map here that I wanna create in game... The problem is placing roads... How do I measure the roads? I mean like... if there was (using a ruler) 1 inch of road on the map... how many tiles would it be in game..

Its a road map of Brantford Simcoe... in Ontario Canada

Waterloo Regional Police car skin http://policecanada.policecanada.org/Canada/Ontario/OntarioW/WaterlooRegionalON092_GD.jpg http://policecanada.policecanada.org/Canada/Ontario/OntarioW/WaterlooRegionalON122_KML.jpg Can anyone make these as a police car skin, and have red and blue lights and make back and fronts lights flash too? (Google Waterloo Regional Police if you need more images, these 2 were the only close ups I could find... all the details look like its there) Tim Hortons I cant find any good pictures... but can anyone make this kind of Tim Hortons... Also http://www.monarchbandb.com/safeway.JPG This type of building style... but some of the new Safeway stores have the beige textures like the Tim Hortons (above) For anyone that has seen Safeway stores, they have the Pharmacy logo and Starbucks logo on the front, if those can be added that would be cool, also maybe a Safeway sign on the parking lot by the road... Why this would be beneficial for the game or community: I think the police car skin would be good for anyone that lives in and around Kitchener Ontario and the Tim Hortons and Safeway would look nice and are now aday buildings...(dunno how to say it) The ones i've seen on the STEX look like there from a long time ago, these would look up to date?..

I have some requests of a few things I want... I wasn`t sure were to post it or if there was threads related to it... If anyone may already have these, or can make them that would be nice. Here is some pictures http://policecanada.policecanada.org/Canada/Ontario/OntarioW/WaterlooRegionalON092_GD.jpg http://policecanada.policecanada.org/Canada/Ontario/OntarioW/WaterlooRegionalON122_KML.jpg Can anyone make these as a police car skin, and have red and blue lights and make back and fronts lights flash too? (Google Waterloo Regional Police if you need more images) I cant find any good pictures... but can anyone make this kind of Tim Hortons.. or maybe have one already and upload it to the STEX?... the one thats on the STEX looks really old.. Also http://www.monarchbandb.com/safeway.JPG This type of building style... but some of the new Safeway stores have the beige textures like the Tim Hortons (above) For anyone that has seen Safeway stores, they have the Pharmacy logo and Starbucks logo on the front, if those can be added that would be cool, also maybe a Safeway sign on the parking lot by the road... If anyone can make any of those or may have already and can make/share that would be awesome! If theres any questions just ask Thanks

The Scale says 1:250 000 Can anyone explain how I would go about measuring?... I'm not the greatest at math or maps XD

How do I tell the scale of the map? Its just a normal like road map of random towns and cities

here ya go https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=343

On the bottom of some of my lots I downloaded... I think it's just the LBT Police and Hospital Mega packs... When I place them down, the base of it is see through and I can see the grass (that comes when you load a region) But if I place water pipes down, the base turns black, and I can somewhat see the pipes like its the under ground view Does anyone know whats causing this? The dependency's it asks for are LBT Prop Pack 2 and 3 and LBT Texture Pack 1.. I have LBT Prop pack 3 and Texture Pack, I also have LBT Mega Prop Pack because of the Prop Pack 2... I just remembered last time I downloaded the Mega pack it had downloaded way to quick and I dont think it download all of it... I'm on dial-up atm.. it was supposed to take like half an hour but it took almost 10 minutes not even to download, atm I'm redownloading the Mega Prop Pack, but if anyone else has any idea's please share. Thanks for any help

That did the trick! Thanks CaptCity, I downloaded the LBT Mega Prop Pack and it worked! Thanks alot

LBT Prop Pack 2 and 3 and LBT Texture Pack 1 is all it says I need in the Read me... I have LBT Prop Pack 3 and LBT Texture Pack 1 and LBT MEGA Prop Pack (re-downloading atm)... The LBT MEGA Prop Pack has the Pack 2 in it so That would mean I have them all... but I'm re-downloading the MEGA Pack and see if it works... Also The buildings were on flat land... Should I delete the LBT Prop Pack 3 and just have the MEGA Pack? and the Texture pack of course...

Could you make a building with a store(function as a workplace) on the bottom and a house on top( just for show, no people)?

I downloaded this super demand mod thing... I dont have the link but I think it was from radicalone.. This is the read me : BASIC PREMISE: This set of .dat files can either maximize - set to 6000, or suppress - set to 0, demand for R$, R$$, R$$$, Cs$, Cs$$, Cs$$$, Co$$, Co$$$, I-Ag, I-D, I-M, and I-HT individually. It's a bit complex to use - a readme is included - but it works wonderfully. It stomps over demand caps, ignores occupancy availability and growth speed - though desirability is still important - and ensures maximal growth of a city, in your preferred direction. With this mod, cities can - even with only R$$$, Cs$$$, Co$$$, and I-HT - exceed the population of an entire country. Installing: Copy one DAT file (either from the "Suppress or Max Out" folder) of each wealth level (R$$, Cs$$$, I-HT, etc) of each RCI type to /SC4/Plugins/RadicalOne Mods/Demand Mod. (Please put it in exactly that structure so future updates can find the file.) Then take note of how many "max out" DATs you used for each category of RCI (Co, I, etc). Pick the corresponding DATs (one for each category) out of the "Totals" folder and copy it to /SC4/Plugins/RadicalOne Mods/Demand Mod. For example, if one maxed out R$$$, Cs$$$, Co$$, I-M and I-HT, one would use the "One R Max Out", "Two C Maxout", "One Cs Maxout", "One Co Maxout", and "Two I Maxout" DAT files. Please do not use all "suppress" DATs for any category, and please use a file for EVERY wealth level. The effects of not doing so are unpredictable and may include all demand going below 0, abandonment, and crashing. Uninstalling: Delete the folder "Demand Mod" in /SC4/Plugins/RadicalOne Mods. ***Disclaimer*** This mod is incompatible with: -Colossus Addon Mod (Perhaps) -Super Demand Ordinance -Any other demand-altering mod. ##Contact## Please email me at radicalone.mods@hotmail.com for any questions, comments, or suggestions. ##Sharing/Derivitave Works## Sharing without modification is discouraged - it is desirable that these addons are obtained through the source website(s).

I tried doing the R$$$, CO$$$ and CS$$$, went in game and they were maxed out so I zoned them but no big buildings grow(apartments or skyscrapers)..? Do I have to wait longer for buildings to go? or did I do something wrong ..and can anyone help me figure out which- "Max out"file goes with each "totals"file like R$$$ would use total "One R Max Out"...to max it in game Sorry if this doesn't make sense this is as clear as i can get..or if this is in the wrong forum section Edit: Another question... Can I max more than 1 Residential or Commercial (R$$$ R$$ R$ CO$$$ etc..)? or just one of each? @DCMetro34 : I dont need another demand mod but thanks @Xyloxandoria : Thanks that helps
