Damn, I'm still running on Sierra haha. i had no idea there was something new beyond catalina even.
-
So i'm slowly trying to widdle my way through the troblesome files. I noticed the extra cheats mod doesn't work anymore neither. have you been able to make it work? also, do i need PC access in order to fix the game?
-
Hello everyone. I've been a bit overwhelmed trying to fix my game since it upgraded automatically from 32 to 64 bit without my permission via steam a few months back. Ever since it switched to 64 bit, many mods have become incompatible, ultimately resulting a crash to desktop. I upgraded my NAM to the latest version, which seemed to help a little bit, but i'm still experiencing brown boxes everywhere. I was wondering if any of the mac users on here have had any luck narrowing down the "trouble makers" within the plugin folder, and if anyone has been able to come up with any solutions to these issues.

I think i'm running NAM 37, but i'm looking in my NAM files to confirm that, and i'm not seeing a readme or anything. is there a spot i can look to see what version it is, or am i Missing something?
-
Whoa, a lot of discussion has occurred here over the weekend. I'm a little confused as to what Solved the problem. @urbanbabel215 you said you had tweaked NAM somehow to get it to work? (excuse me for my lack of computer expertise)

Define what you mean by clean folders.

Ok, so I have a bit of an update. I moved my plugins to a backup location, uninstalled the game, then re-installed it. I tested it out in its base game form before adding any of my plugins back. I was able to successfully load cities in the base timbuktu region (which I wasn't even able to do previously before my reinstallation) I did notice that as soon as i added my plugins and regions folder back, I was back to the same issues on the city loading screen again though, so it's a little discouraging, but I feel like I'm barking up the right tree, but not quite there yet. Also, @Hubert Did you say that NAM 37 was the version that the 64 Bit game didn't agree with? I'm just trying to trouble shoot if theres some plugin issues.

Who's Using the 64 Bit Version? - A Place to Get Help

anyone have luck with a reinstallation of SimCity 4? mine still isn't working after It updated on steam to 64 bit without my permission, and now my game is screwed. I'm reluctant to reinstall the game, but I will if I have to. I just wanted to know if anyone was having the same issues, and resolved them -
yeah i tried the region folder rename, as well as the removal of buggis extra cheats, but still no dice.
-
I do have the extra cheat mod installed. has that been confirmed as problematic to you in the past?
-
Also, what do you mean by cheat mod? like I sad, I removed all plugins just to see if anything would change, and it didn't, so I wonder what the issue might be. is Mac OS Sierra maybe to blame?
-
oh i see! mine is the 64 bit, and yes it says it was last modified at 5:28 PM on may 19th (nestled between it working fine the previous day, and not working that night). ok, so with that said, do you know how to make it work with 64 bit, or how to revert it back?
-
this is the version i've got when i click the about button. judging my the copyright logo date, i wonder if it updated in the background and screwed something up?
-
Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention, I'm on the steam version of the program. yeah the the aspyr and SimCity logo used to skip as one video, not as two. so you make two individual clicks to skip them instead of one click to skip both. I wonder if SimCity somehow updated in the background without my authorization, and if it did if theres a way to check it?

Hello. I'm running SC4 steam edition on a Macbook air on MacOS Sierra. I have a lot of mods to my game, and yesterday night the game was working just fine. However tonight for whatever reason, the game does not work. I had not added anything to my SimCity files between then and now, and for whatever reason it crashes to desktop every time I attempt to load any city. In a potentially related note, between last night and now, I was noticing some weird performance issues with google chrome (my main browser), so I reset its cache, deleted search history, etc. I also had downloaded a region, but had yet to install it to the game's region files. Now it's difficult to explain the crash, because the startup of the game looks just ever so slightly different, but bear with me. For example, under typical operation, takes a couple seconds for the EA logo to initially appear, and the cursor changes to the SimCity style cursor if that makes sense. Ever Since the mystery crash "appeared", the EA logo seems to appear instantly after startup (almost like nothing is loading), and the cursor still looks like the default mac cursor. you also have to click to skip both the aspyr and SimCity video intros. after that happens, the game then "windows/minimizes" the SC4 Loading screen briefly before loading the region. Once the region is loaded, everything seems to look fine, and you can even click to load cities. However, once you're in the loading screen for a selected city, the game will just crash to desktop part way through loading it. I tried removing all plugins and mods, and it's still is doing this. The strange part is, after each crash, I look at my SimCity 4 file folders and noticed that the following two files appear to be automatically "modified" at the exact date and time that the crash occured: SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition.cfg, and Macbook Air-config-log.txt I know the explanation is confusing at best, but any help is appreciated
