How do I mod the Age to output level response curve so that my building never decays while my city is building.

You deserve it Brian you are generous with your efforts at the very least and you have made me feel not only welcome but appreciated. I know a lot of people feel the same. Keep up the amazing effort. Cheers BMan -
How do you rename buildings. I have this hospital I downloaded form the stex and within the hospital are marketing buildings. How do I change it so that when I hover over it, it all says MedicalCenter for instance. I do not want to use the query in game, I want to permanently change the name of my building.

Hello. I just used reader to change my maxis buildings. I have extracted them into a dat folder with the following folders inside. 2 Exemplars 1 DIR 1 UI 1 PNG The problem is that my new file both as a dat and extracted - do not show up in my game. How do you properly extract maxis plugins so they end up as unique plugins - preferably in their respective section but showing up in the landmarks is just as good. Has this ever happened to you?

After Modding with Reader

It was overwriting the initial building, I needed to create fresh exemplars via the lot editor. Helpful post for myself and others. Thank you. -

Mod to make Utilities Immortal????

Hey bixel you can use the no delapidation mod found here. Make sure its in your main plugins folder and choose the amount of years you want the mod to take effect for. -
Amazing. Thank you so much. Now I just cant figure out how to get it to show up in the game. I got a 16kb dat file that has the lot file the scrip the lui, like 4 files but it still wont show up in game anyways. Any ideas

Dont save from the analyser, and make sure you hit the right apply button after you make the change. Save from the main window, you have to save using the disk button dont save using the menu. After 20 minutes I got it to work by making all my changes in analyser, click out of analyser, click and messing around with files in the main ilive reader screen(but not changing anything) then clicking the disk looking save button and after 10 or so failed menu save attempts, clicking the button gave me a full 141 meg changed dat file. Also make sure your editing the file in your maxis/deluxe or whatever is in the maxis folder. there is sometimes a dat file inside the maxis folder itself, you have to go deeper and edit the deeper file for me its C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe ------- SimCity_1.dat as opposed to the SimCity_1.dat in my C:\Program Files\Maxis\ folder. Just keep trying to save in different ways, i found 3 ways to save, the third way worked. ZIP YOUR ORIGINAL SimCity_1.dat file. Keep the original file safe, major crash issues for many small tweaks.

This is a set of 5 maps. Extract to your regions folder, start the game, find the region of your choice, load it, then hold ctrl+shit+alt+r - find the region folder you just loaded and then click on the only file you see, the file name will be the same as the region you just chose. Tested on Rush-Hour, less then 2 minutes to load on an old AMD 64 2.0 machine. -

This is a package of 5 small maps. Each map is very small, this makes building a full region a joy. Each map has a different style. I have simplified the process of loading the maps so all you need to do is put the folders into your regions section and they will load automatically. -
Hello. I was wondering, how do you extract.dat files. I really love this RCI dat but it sticks 560 buildings in my landmarks and although I love it, its far to many. I want to extract the .dat and remove about 200 or so items and then I know how to repack it. Is anyone out there advanced enough? I have asked so many people and I continue to do research, I found this amazing little windows/system32 application but it doesnt work for these particular dats which is wierd when you consider that it was probably a small good program like SC4datpacker that packed it to begin with. ?Can anyone help me
