No. Around 5:00pm Alberta time. I tried making it work throughout the day but after several crashes and with mounting frustration I finally came here to consult the brains of SimCity. Nothing was added. After I posted this I removed all plugins from Documents and the same thing happened. My plugins are compressed except dependencies and mods. I tried again this A.M. Same thing. I tried deleting one city back to GOD, which then opened, but the adjoining cities still crash, regardless of GOD or MAYOR. After you helped me last fall everything has been running tickety-boo, except with the new NAM, but I went back to the old NAM and everything was again just perfect. Bizarre right?

OK here is a new one, at least for me. I've been playing the same region for awhile now. Yesterday played for seven hours. This morning open the game, click on the city from yesterday and Crash. Interestingly, the adjoining cities, even those still in God mode, Crash. Undeveloped cities not connected to the city I was working on yesterday open just fine. Here is the exception report: Exception time: 03/30/2013, at 17:03:02. Exception code: 0xC0000005 (-1073741819) ACCESS_VIOLATION. Current thread ID: 12664 (0x00003178).

I have grown tired of the default green land in my cities, esp in industrial areas. Can anyone direct me to a dirt mod or, preferably a dirt painter. Thanks in advance.

I bought a brand new system with Windows 7, 64 bit. Other than whatever Acer packs it with, there are no programs but IE and SC4. Not even email. I have SC4 Rush hour and have used it for years on my Vista machine. On this new system I can't even get the game open. The screen goes black, as usual, the EA icon starts to show and then it closes. No warning, no problem box nothing. I have installed the updates and there is no custom content, just the game. I have installed and uninstalled five times now. Any ideas? Please be gentle with the jargon. I'm old and don't know much bout computers. Thanks in advance.

Thanks again to all, especially Mr Moose(or is it Ms Moose?), but I already had the mentioned updates installed. In my frustration I took out the game disk, put in a Led Zeppelin DVD, and then tried again before bed. It worked just fine! The speed and lack of stalling is unreal. Now I'm experiencing the game at a level I only hoped for. The wife ain't too happy though but who cares. Thanks again.

My sincerest thank to those that have attempted to help me with this issue. I have tried your various suggestions however the same problem is occuring.
