On the cities xl forum I just found somebody else with the same issue: http://forum.citiesxl.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1216 They have a picture up there too. But your right, Focus it is!! I have tried deleting the unfinished completed stupid building and now the menus all freeze. Bulldozer wont work and del key on keyboard does nothing other than freeze the game.

Thanks for that mate. This one took me a while............. I finally understand what you meant when you said it replaces 'standard' roads. I thought the standard or default roads that the game has, in the building menu, needed to be used and you couldnt use this if you had any other roads instead. (which may still be true?) Now I realise that when you begin a new city you can select 'default' roads from the drop down instead of the default which is 'american roads'. Thus i have been enjoying your amazing roads in my new city. Thanks for the effort in this!! James

Originally posted by: soltangris Theories? aaaam...... a bug?quote> I hadnt thought of that... thanks mate. To be more helpful..... I was thinking more along these lines: a: Im not sure if the blueprint is either part of the game originally or it was 'unlocked' due to one of the many, many patch files I have installed. Should the latter be the case then Focus cant really help with this. They could, but dont need to. b: I was hoping other people on here would have had the same problem that someone knew how to fix it. If it is a broken mod, or 'unlock' then perhaps by bring it to attention it might one day get fixed. The blueprint I was wanting to build is the giant ferris wheel. I have noticed that with all other bp's when you select them and move the mouse over your map to place them, you get the full building in transparent view. Then you place it and begin to contruct it. With this one, all you see is what I see after it is saying completed, that is, an unfinished building. This to me says that perhaps there could be a file missing somewhere. A corrupted image it is rendering from? Upon further investigation into the files, I opened the giant wheel class file and can see a reference to a file that doesnt exist on my installation at all. That is as far as I got with the issue. So if anyone else has any other information other than the obvious please let me know. James

This has happened to me also. I was building the giant ferris wheel blueprint and it got to complete. It came up with msgs saying it reached all the next stages. By the second to last stage, the wheel was beginning to look good but then when complete, it disappeared leaving only the base of the building there. Even the workers began getting jobs there, and I was getting the benefits from it but no picture or animation, which was my only reason for wanting it. What were you building and what did yours do? Also what are your theories on the cause? James

Do these mods work on cities xl 2011? It says above to put in "paks" folder, but i have tried the paks folder and the data folder in 2011 version and they are not working. Normally I would say that answers my own question but just in case???? James
