Network Widening Mod (NWM) - Development and Support
Dracoceros replied to Tarkus's topic in NAM & Transit Networks
I choose both custom and selected NWM network, as well as it's subroots, and it didn't show up. After, I selected full installation, which includes NWM networks, and that didn't work either- 414 Replies

NAM won't install on Amazon's SC4 Deluxe Edition Download
Dracoceros posted a topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Hi. I have both the CD version of Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition, and the Amazon.com download version of SC4:DLXE. The CD version will absolutely not work with Windows 10. In addition, I have installed the patch twice already to my PC for Amazon's Deluxe Edition/Rush Hour; but NAM is somehow ignoring the fact that the version is up to date and keeps telling me to install the patch from SC4Devotion's Website. I don't know what to do right now, except play the game "as is". The download game is located on my desktop, but the CD game is located in Program Files. I think that NAM is trying to access my Program Files and check if it's there. How do I get around this "check"? There is no option currently to check for another location before it checks the version. So, the solution I found to work was doing a system recovery on Windows by wiping all of the files and such from the computer on Windows 10 Pro, and then downloading to the desktop via the Amazon Downloader, and choosing to install from the option in the downloader. Then, select install from Maxis' Installer, leave the directory default, and proceed as normal. I'll let you know if mods work with this solution. Cheers, Brandon N Thomason- 5 Replies

NAM won't install on Amazon's SC4 Deluxe Edition Download
Dracoceros replied to Dracoceros's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
K, I just did a system recovery. It was the only way to completely wipe the system of the registry. But now, blasted Amazon is wanting to download to the Desktop location again! The whole game for Program Files. And when it downloaded, it asked me to install. I clicked install, and nothing happened. This is because it was already downloaded... and not installed. Oddly enough, the game fails to play. I think the game was redirecting to the C:/Program Files (x86)/Maxis directory when initially booting. Now, since it's not installed via CD to that directory, it is not detecting the game, and thus, fails to start. My system is clean! I erased all files and settings, and performed a complete wipe. This shouldn't be happening in theory! I tried to install NAM, and it tells me the game isn't up to date, and then tells me it could not find specified game. EDIT: It appears that EA Games (Electronic Arts) does not have support for this game no longer, even after recent purchase. What a shame EDIT #2: I've posted the solution above at the first post.- 5 Replies

NAM won't install on Amazon's SC4 Deluxe Edition Download
Dracoceros replied to Dracoceros's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
Ok, I uninstalled the CD version, but when I did, I attempted to uninstall the Amazon version first. However, instead of amazon's install being removed, the one in the Program Files was removed! The uninstaller won't uninstall the one on my desktop, and I cannot redirect it towards the uninstaller for the desktop! Does anyone have any experience with having this issue? If you did and were able to solve it, please help me figure out what is going wrong. To me, it seems like both a problem with Amazon's downloader and installer, as well as all of the plugin installers. In order to get around this, every single exe tool and installer would have to be reprogrammed from within to point to my download location. Just to let you know, when I installed via amazon, it didn't really install... it just gave me a download option, and installed with downloading. The game works, oddly enough, in it's directory (it's in C:/Program Files (x86)/Sim City 4). However, this is not the correct directory.- 5 Replies

Windows 10 Problem Reporting Thread
Dracoceros replied to rsc204's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
So there are two versions: Instant Access, which is done through Electronic Arts Account, and PC download. Which one is the correct one? My gut tells me the PC download version. -
Windows 10 Problem Reporting Thread
Dracoceros replied to rsc204's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
I can only buy from amazon, given my situation of financing options. Thus, could I download the software for free, then enter the liscense code into the game? By the way, I would like to use mods, including the bat, lot editor, and such. Does the amazon download allow this? Thanks for your response, and thanks in advanced for your reply... -

For some reason, I can't seem to get around this site easily... if at all. Your server is giving me errors, traffic problems, ping faults, maintainance messages, and failed connections when I try to access any part of Simtropolis. It's just another day on Simtropolis, right? Nothing really special attracting attention to millions which could possibly clog up the server, right? Yesterday, my computer's surge protector strip somehow been turn off by the stupid dog walking over it (there's nothing to walk over down there, so why go there?), so I had to turn it back on and restart the whole system and other equipments hooked up to it. Now I have problems connecting to simtropolis since I connected on March 7th without signing on. Took forever to sign on today. What gives? Did my unexpected power off do something strange to my internet connection? I'm running a special broadband cable with 2 Terabytes of Internet Connection Speed or something like that. My modem is super fast for it's type, so there should be no problem. My modem is hooked to a different power strip, so it should be fine. Did the dog inadvertedly fry part of my NIC? Or is something else going on at Simtropolis, something I'm not aware of?

Simtropolis is SLOW and doesn't respond correctly
Dracoceros replied to Dracoceros's topic in Simtropolis Related
Still having problems getting around. What is Sim City 2013? Is it a user-generated game, unofficial and non EA company? Or is it some kind of Forums update? I just need to know if it's a real game to be released soon or is a game in the process and who's it being made by. Does the updates include being able to upload a Photo? (Like, I want to upload my picture that is on my avatar). I have a blank profile picture when I log in or look at it, and it really looks too plain. Or, like most other forums, is it a non-fixable problem that I will forever have a blank face? -
