Mr.dekiscool, we tried everything we could, but no matter how great we are, we can only assume here, for we're not the creator of the LRM itself....i gave you the link to the thread, i suggest you to post a question there...Mandelsoft is the right person to answer your questions concerning the LRM. About your game version, it has nothing to do with the street lights at all, i'm saying that because i remember you said something in the very first post that your custom building was still dark. So, i assume that maybe there's something wrong with your patch eventhough it says 1.1.638. And it needs to be patch to 1.1.640. Like Moose said that update version needed for the custom BAT lighting. it's just strange, maybe there's something wrong with your original SimCity.dat files

Technically, it wont be a big problem for a 3x3 building. Do the zoning technique if you think it's necessary. The jobs will still appeared in the plopable C building of course, but will it be filled is another story. It'll required workers.

Plopable is something you dont need to zone, simply plop it after selecting it from some list. Landmarks menu for example,..you'll find your downloaded plopable buildings there. While growable, is something you need to zone first, or else it wont ever exist in your city...in your case, building with only 3x3 has no problem with growing even without holding the ctrl-button, it only "helps" the building to grow if you really wanna do the zoning technique. And yes technically it can still grow in three row 1x3. But in other case, buildings that has a bigger zone like 4x6, 4x7, 5x5, etc, will need an assistance for them to grow by holding the ctrl-button while zoning. Notice the number that comes first, for example in 4x7 building. 4 needs to be facing the roads not the 7. If you zone it vice versa, 7x4 in this case, the building you intended to build will never grow. You'll have another building instead, and that's the building that required a 7x4 zone. That's why the zoning here is essential. always pay attention to the numbers that come first, for that must be the one to face the roads/streets. Sometimes you can find the zoning technique included in the readme file if the building has a large zone. So, don't forget to read them. But you musn't forget the other factors like demands or desirabilty. if you don't have them both, even your zoning is perfect, it will still not growing.

I see,..so it's Mandelsoft's LRM... but please note that before you install any mods you should better update your game patch...i notice that your game patch is still 1.1.638 where it should be 1.1.640. I'm now leading you to the LRM thread located Post your issues there, Mandelsoft the creator will give you more comprehensive explanation.

Something's odd here. There's no way a replacement mod will also remove the original one when uninstalled. Which LRM that you download?? Whose the creator?? Is it Mandelsoft?? You better direct this issue to his LRM thread,..

Nice you can provide pictures...i see,... were your street lights doing fine before you installed the LRM for the first time?? Or your street lights gone after you removed the LRM outside your plugins??

Yeah, but now they are all in different category. Mods has its own definition and so do lots.

Of course, that's just the basic of understanding the RCI, but very important in developing city. Concerning your demand graphs, it is because the RCI indicator in regional is a matter of reciprocity. But in one single city there are much to consider about the RCI. In this case, it is a matter of balance. while you're only paying attention to the demand for your R$, what about the others like R$$, R$$$..?? Your city might already contained too many R$ and make the demand for it goes down. You should pay attention to your education system too as that will attract more R$$ and R$$$ instead of R$.

Yaay,..you found the LEX...congratulation,...

It's only a matter of growable and plopable, that's all. You won't see any of growable buildings you've download until the time is right. And i'm talking about in the availabilty of demand itself, desirabilty factors and zoning technique. Still, even when the demand is high, evergreen desirabilty, some bulding will only grow in certain type of zoning. If you zone it in the wrong way it won't grow no matter what. Holding the ctrl button while zoning is the key.

Dont forget to check your GPU 3D setting, just like Nonny suggested.

May i suggest you to read this thread too, sir >>> http://www.simtropol...abandonment-r31 It'll help you a lot in understanding the RCI.

Don't mention it. Try switching it to software rendering and see if that change anything. If not, stay in hardware mode and follow what Nonny instructed. It's only a matter of graphic setting.

You mean after removing the LRM you have no street lights anymore?? That is impossible, that LRM is only replacement for the original maxis streetlights. Therefore, It should go back to normal when you remove them out of your plugins. Remember the streetlights won't appear until you plop or zone somenthing that contain electricity right next to the roads/streets itself. Actually you don't need plopable streetlights in some area if you have already planed that area for development, the area suround it will have its own lighting and of course the streets/roads will too. The plopable streetlights will find more suitable place right next to your Avenues and Higways. If you're planing on making a long avenues or highways lines out of the city crowd then it will be the perfect place for them. Still, you need the electricity to light them up.

You can find this building in http://www.simcity.cn/. Sorry you have to scratch around, i forgot the direct link. I found it. http://www.simcity.c...-46902-1-1.html Good then,...got any idea about the grass filler or whatever it is around the building itself??

I knew it,...then we can't do much about it, since it is something about the modification of lots. Other words, the lamp post placed to close each other that then created such intesify colour. The only way is to turn off the shadows, to maybe lessen the intesify, but you already tried that.

Banned for explaining something we already knew.

hmm..i'd like to give my opinion here, but....i'll just let someone from the NAM team address this for more comprehensive answer.

Hmmm...did you ever download Light Replacement Mod,..?? I assume from the picture, you were, yes?? What about your cars and plans, is it still coloured?? Back to hardware rendering should solve that.

So your problem wasn't the dark building after all... You're using the Light Replacement Mod, i suppose. Well, in that case, from the picture posted by Jason. you can see the Graphic Option Windows, yes?? Try lower your Shadows setting. See if that change anything.

That is not possible. at least until someone tries to make this kinda mod.

Ok, first, what actually your problem here, is it about the parking lot lit like baseball field or about your dark building..?? Cause our friend Jason here saying something about LRM. The version should be 1.1.640. Clearly you need the update patch.

Ok, you got the basic there from Jason and Prophet. Now onto the city itself. Imagine an empty city map as a canvas and you have to paint on it with your own imagination. Building a CJ is an art. An art needs inspirations. And in CJ list section, you'll find more inspiration by seeing some other great cities rather than reading our boring long comments here. One question you don't need to answer, but think of it......What will attract people in seeing your CJ, your skycrapers?? houses?? farms?? landmarks?? No...It's how you arrange your city in a very unique way. Your own way, not ours. It's your own imagination. When i wanna paint something, i dont ask any suggestions from anybody. I'll use my own imagination. And i do the same when building and arranging my city. So when it finished, people will say "wow, amazing city" rather than "you've done it, just like i suggested". So, choose your own way. It's all on you, that's just my humble thought. it's your imagination and your CJ after all. I'm looking forward to see your CJ
