I updated the main sc4 executable in my steam directory

Hello, Its been ages since my last SC4 kick and I thought what better time to get back in the swing of things than with this exciting new NAM update. I'm running on Windows 10; 64 bit, this time. I'm having a bit of trouble installing the new NAM, however. I have SC4 on Steam. I began my un-installing the game and deleting all mods and saves. After re-installing the game, I went on SC4 Devotion and tried to install the latest official update. My problems immediately begin here. After running the patch I am met with an error that says something along the lines of "Original file cannot be found but one of the same name already exists." (Note, I've never had this issue updating the game before [with the disc version at least]). So I assumed the Steam version is already up to date. So I moved on to the NAM install. I began by installing the required JAVA software. I then downloaded and installed the 4GB patch that was required. And lastly I ran the NAM installer and went through the motions until it said complete. But when I launch the game, it will boot all the way to the region. But when I try to load a city it crashes to my desktop. Not really sure what Issues I am having because its a bare bones vanilla game atm. Any help is appreciated! =)

I know how zots work. Im not asking for a mod that replaces the requirements for the lot. I just want the icon to disappear. For example I dont want the game to tell me that the lot has no power by showing me a lightning bolt zot. I want to physically see the power outage myself and then consult my data map. Likewise if I see an abandoned lot I will manually check the data map for water shortages/ transportation connections etc. Hopefully that helps explain what I am looking for. Thank you

Does anybody know if there is a mod that simply removes all of the zots from the game (transportation, water, electrical etc) without affecting other parts of the game play? I know that the tastyzots cheat is there but when that cheat is enabled it also removes the zone color from the ground if nothing has been built on it and the cheat disables itself every time you switch graph modes. Which make sit annoying having to type it in all the time. Appreciate any help, thanks

sc4 by Denny Frontier Listen here you

Thank you. That's really everything I need to know. Can't wait to finally start adding some color to my neighborhoods. Cheers

I want to experiment with seasonal trees but I don't know a good place to start. Does anyone have any opinions on what the highest quality seasonal tree mods is? And I've seen some seasonal trees that you have to plant on specific dates. Is this always the case? Because it seems like a chore. Also while I was looking up seasonal tree mods, I keep seeing people talking about "seasonal tree controllers." What are those exactly and how do I get one if I need it? Thank you very much

I couldnt help but notice the difference between my older developed neighborhoods from my newer developed neighborhoods. The older neighborhoods are filled with happy healthy and old sims. And my new neighborhoods just fill up, go jobless and--very quickly--they become abandoned... And upon my investigation I have found the old sims are stuck at the ages between 51-60. I set the speed to ultra and just watched the data map and they refuse to age any longer... even after 50 years. Kudos to them for hanging on but they are really screwing up the rest of my city... Any ideas without having to reset the city?
