docj101, I have that VIP Snow pack. It's just snow-themed ploppables, not a terrain mod. But that pack and Peg's snow themed mods make me really want to have permanent snow areas, just not everywhere. I might check out that extra cheat. Hopefully someone who knows better can help us out. Turjan, that reader sounds neat. I'll take a look at it, but it sounds complicated. Thanks.

Even speed is something that requires a feel for. There will be times when rhino or cheetah speed are more desirable/practical; but generally, it's easier to avoid problems and focus on small details in turtle speed. There will be times you don't need/want to expand your city's boundaries, but want to build up or increase your budget for an airport or something. Those are generally the times for the faster speeds, but there is such a thing as building too fast. If you are novice, I recommend starting with a smallsh agricultural village. You can always build your utopian metropolis on a different city tile within the region.

Two very different view points! Thank you both. From what I understand, you can't make tunnels with RHW (although I'm aware that there are work-arounds, such as turning the highway into an avenue, etc.), and RHW doesn't seem to get as congested at the onramps. Can anyone confirm these beliefs? Is it mostly a matter of aesthetics?

I agree with most everyone else. This game is very much an aesthetics or visual game. However, I do think that there are some universal ideas of perfection, such as low traffic, low pollution, low crime, high education, etc. The larger (or rather, more dense) your city, the harder it is to achieve these levels. I like Bipin's first sentence. I enjoy variety. I like to build high wealth/density utopias as well as ghettos and small rural farm villages. But, with all, I try to make them as visually stimulating as possible (as well as those features I mentioned above). I also like A Nonny Moose's strategy of playing on turtle speed (most of the time). It's easier to micromanage that way and prevent huge problems that take time and money to fix (i.e., starting over).

What are the benefits to the Real Highway Mod? I know that you can't build tunnels with the RHW and that seems like a deal breaker to me, yet I've noticed a lot of the better SC4 journals use it. Thoughts?

Using this plugin, how do I get God Mode trees? The readme for the plugin links to a dead page. Thanks. EDIT: Sorry, figured this one out. I reinstalled it, and it you have to choose your tree type at that point.

One of the 2 files (or both) that comes with the mod () has been crashing my game. Wondering if anyone knew why and more importantly, how to fix it because I like the mod and it was listed as a dependency for some other mods I had. The crash-to-desktop would occur at random intervals of gameplay, but would always occur when I'd enter the "setsealevel" cheat (This might be a helpful tip for a quick way to discover which plugins cause crashes!). I have SC4Deluxe. Thanks

Crash caused by PEG MTP God Mode Tree Mod
monomass replied to monomass's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
thanks so much! well, I removed all other tree mods, and I'm still having the same problem. guess it's no tree mod for me Sorry to keep replying to myself, but it seems to work if I start a new city or region. I might have to do some bulldozing. Thanks again. Moderator Comment: Consolidated triple post -
Crash caused by PEG MTP God Mode Tree Mod
monomass replied to monomass's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Thanks. I also have "Cycledog Tree Mod" ith the file "CPT_No7_TreeController_DefaultMaxis_RequiresNo8andNo9.dat" and the 2 files that it requires. Does this conflict with the PEG tree mod? I've downloaded mods that require both tree mods. -

I use SC4 deluxe, have tons of plug-ins, and am not using the IH-fix. Why does this happen? Thanks.

dirty industry showing as $$ instead of $?
monomass replied to monomass's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Removed my plugins and checked again, and you're correct—all ID seem to be $$. I'm guessing this is because I did the Maxis updates recently, for the first time. That, or I'm going crazy Glad to know that it's not a bug. Again, many super thanks! So nice to see a SC4 community that's so strong after all these years, and after a very recent, disappointing new title. -

Thanks Cefien, I really do appreciate your reply and info. I've been playing SC4D for almost a decade now, and just started playing with mods other than the NAM, and I swear this is the first I've ever seen ID show up as other than low wealth. According to that list, every Industrial lot is at least $$. I swear it's always been ID $, IM $$, and IH $$$. Thanks. -
