The deluxe disc is a Drag to Applications folder install. Once the UB patch is installed the game runs fine. So I have now downloaded and installed 200+ mods from the STEX and the LEX. Apart from the hiccups with the NAM I can report that SC4 is working really well, and from what I can remember better than it did on Snow Leopard. One thing to note about my install is this was not an upgrade from Snow Leopard. It is a fresh Lion install and a fresh SC4 install. Cheers

Maybe it is not consistent in the files it does not like. I removed the .dat files in groups of 4 from the NAM plugins folder until i found the group of 4 which did not work. I then tried each .dat individually which is where i got the 2 plugins mentioned above. In general SC4 is now working well on Lion, I have encountered a weird problem where some transport stations have a really low capacity, usually between 1-10 when the should be 10000+. has anyone else encounter this issue before? Cheers

Understood, don't think I have ever used those anyways. I will now go on and rebuild my plugins directory. If I run into anything that does not work I will post it in this thread. Auto resume is a feature of the OS, not the EFI of the Mac and there for not available on bootcamp partitions, or other OS partitions which do not contain an install of Lion. I have been playing with Lion since the developer previews. If anyone needs any info let me know. Cheers

OK quick update, the majority of the NAM does work with OS X Lion. The following items from the plugins folders within the Network add on mod folder had to be removed to prevent the game from freezing NetworkAddonMod_High_ElRail_Plugin.dat NetworkAddonMod_High_Monorail_Plugin.dat. Cheers

I did that when I first got my Mac. I hated rebooting and closing all my other programs. I then tired using Fusion which ran terribly. Parallels was OK until a city got to 200,000 plus then it became so slow it was unplayable. I will keep trying with SC4 and NAM on Lion.

I agree completely, NAM is essential for enjoyable gameplay. Dual boot is an inelegant solution and virtualising has performance issues, I am not ready to give up on SC4 + NAM on Lion as yet. I will keep you posted. Thanks

Sorry I probably didn't make it clear I am running SC4 Deluxe, which is SC4 plus Rush Hour. After trying a failing with the NAM I have tired a number of other mods, simple BATs, which all work fine. Cheers

Hi, 'Vanilla' (No Mods) Sim City 4 Deluxe working here for me on Lion with the UB patch. When I install the Network Addon Mod the game freezes when leaving god mode or when loading an existing city. I have to force quit SC4. Anyone experienced this? Ta
