Oh yeah, because we have a Capitalist option to begin with. I know someone is going to disagree but SimCity isn't a government game, it's a city building game.

I'd love a right-turn lane TuLEP...

Specs: Sim City 4: Deluxe Edition Running on mid-2010 13" MacBook Pro using Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard (upgrading to 10.6.4 when I get to it) NVIDIA GeForce 320M - Running SC4 using 1280x800 res. 2.4 GHz - Intel Core 2 Duo (64-Bit) Processor 4GB Memory - 250GB HD Ever since I downloaded plugins, my game crashes to the desktop. It varies greatly. Sometimes, it crashes right when it reaches the regions screen, sometimes it crashes when I open a city and sometimes it crashes when placing down something (any item; roads, zones, parks, police/fire stations, hospitals, etc). After crashing to the desktop, the game music still plays and continues to do so until the end of the song. If you start the game up again, the music from the old game plays until you get to the region screen. I think I have done almost everything. I have removed every plugin and it did not help. I am at the point where it's time to stop lurking on the forum and actually use it because I am so tired of this crap. I absolutely love the game and am so happy I found this website as I have been playing SC4 since age eight, I am 13 now. And yes, I do mean age eight, as you can guess, my cities were pretty horrible. Thank you so much, I look forward to any help you may have.

Also, i hav noticed lately that when I quit my SC4 game, I get an exception report. Any reason for this?

I am pretty sure that my swap space is above 4GB. I'm not using an .exe file, rather an .app file and I have already researched being able to run the .app file in only one processor, but on the Mac it is easier said than done. Anything else?

I have turned off Auto Edge Reconciliation and it seems to be crashing less, but there still is not a significant change. Is there any 100% clean-cut solution that will fix this?

I'm sorry to bump this thread. It was this or posting another one o_O. I have all of the patches. I have the latest version of NAM and RHM, both for Mac (yes, Mac). All of my patches are Mac-compatible. The game most commonly crashes when placing roadways or once opening up a city. If the dialog box saying that I need to realign the city with neighboring ones, if it crashes, it crashes there, no matter what I choose.
