I already wrote all of the questions for you in the post #2. I suggest you to do all of those things, and don't easily trust advisers, they just give advises, but not ruling your city. You're the god, advisers can't stop you from doing things that you want. Post #2?? Where is this??

According to lhrob...he said "And no, making tunnels will not interfere with subways. The reason is because the underground road technically doesn't exist. All you're really seeing is the tunnel entrance and exit. So basically when the vehicle enters the tunnel, it gets "transported" to the exit."

I have an issue with industry. I keep getting a prompt that Industry needs room to grow. I have placed tiles for it, but nothing has grown in that area. Not sure why.

Thanks. I will also have to try the tunnel like in the pic lhrob put up!! That is crazy!

Well strangely enough...it seemed like I couldn't have both the railway and road there with the building...they didn't fit. So I decided to run the road and rails under the building...forgetting I needed a road above ground to connect the building. Then...even dumber...I realized I'd have room for the road now with the railroad going underground...so I just left it since I worked so hard to get the tunnels in the first place. A couple last questions on this...how long can you make tunnels? And will making tunnels interfere with subways?

Finally! Success!!! I have tunnels!! Thank you so much everyone! Very appreciated!!

Ok...this is what I have so far...does this look right?

I am still not getting it. I dug the holes...I then dragged the road, but it just built the road on the land. No offer for a tunnel. I tried putting a building...like you had in that pic...and then dragged a road through...and it just gave me the thing about not being able to put a road on reserved tiles or whatever. I tried doing the road holding the shift button...same results...held the control button...same thing. Can't seem to get the tunnel. Is there something I need to activate in the game? Like I know if the cars thing is set to low, there will be no cars in the city. So is there something else I need??

Ok...I must be missing something here. I tried the hole digging lots. However, how do I get tunnels?? Do they just show up? Does it ask me if I want to build a tunnel? Cuz I do the hold digging lot, make the hole dragging the road...and the road just goes down into the hole and back up the other side....I don't get any option to make a tunnel. I am a little slow sometimes with things like this, so if someone can do a step by step, that would be great! Thanks

Maybe I didn't wait a month. I will try that with it. Thanks. And yes I did install my new retail copy v1.1.641.0...and everything that did not light up before DOES light up now. Which is good...minus the Burgerfuel so far. But everything else is good.

I have switched to the LRM v5.0 Dutch set. I just liked the lights the best. I also removed the LRM v4.0 and now everything looks the way it should and is not overly bright. Thanks for LRM v5! I did dl a new building...Burger Fuel ( ), and it has pics of it lit up. It has 5 stars so I dl'ed both copies. It says no dependencies. I installed one and tried it out...as it says Install only one. It didn't light up. I waited a good bit...nothing. So I shut down the game and removed it, and then installed the other version. Still didn't light up. Not sure what could be wrong.

Is there a way to create a grid on the ground so I can tell it is all level or see where hills are? This is one thing I don't care for so far with SC 4...with SC 2, you could easily see what the land was like and easily make it flat and level.

Ok....I think I have the NAM thing...but I don't see any underground puzzle pieces. This is currently what I have now...and I guess I can pretend it connects under the building....but I'd like it to "really" connect. Not trying to connect to a neighbor... Any ideas? Thanks

You must just be missing a file. Like I said, I DL'ed it and it is working fine for me...

I just DL'ed it and tried it...I seem to have all the dependencies for it...it looked fine on my game. Not sure what you could be missing.

What building is that in the above pic? The good thing about the download retail copy I have is...I can DL it anytime I want and as many times as I want. So I'd assume, if another patch came out, I could download a newer version.

I think there is a 1.1.613.0 version too. I was told awhile back too that version 1.1.638 would solve my problems...it didn't. Oh well I have the newest version. As for the reconciling...that would be a good thing to do??

What is CTD? I am a $%&^!. Also I keep getting a message now that the roads between cities are not connected or something like that. I used to get that in my old copy of the game...but I thought I fixed it since I didn't get the messages anymore. Now I am getting them again with the new copy. Something about reconciling it?

Actually, i'm already confuse now...some said have no problem with 1.1.638. while others must update to 1.1.640. Yes I bought a downloadable retail copy from Amazon.com which is version 1.1.641.0...that is according to my exe file. Yes...1.1.641...not 1.1.640.... And now my game seems to work ok. The building and signs all seem to light up like they are supposed to at night time. Before I loaded it up, I was able to save all the plugins and my cities from my old copy. I loaded the new retail copy I bought and downloaded. I then moved all my plugins into the new game plugin and my cities too. I hope it will work ok. I loaded my city into the game and saw all the new working lights...but while I was scrolling around the city, the game just shut down. Hopefully this wont be a sign of things to come....

Ok...well...I finally got my amazon giftcard and just downloaded SimCity 4 v 1.1.641.0 from Amazon for $9.99. So I will check it out and see if anything changes.

I have the 1.1.638.0 version, which I was told would solve a lot of my issues...but I still have those issues. @lhrob...I just DL'ed that the other day and loaded it. Not really noticing much of a change...

This is the one I have And if I take this folder out of the plugins folder and put it say...on my desktop...and then go play the game, I am left with no street lights...

As far as I remember my lights were fine before the LRM....and obviously the street lights are gone after the LRM folders are moved outside the plugin folder...

Here is what I am talking about ....this is with the LRM folders IN the plugins folder And this is AFTER I take the LRM folders OUT of the plugins folder.. As you can see from the after pic...no lights...no lamp posts...no nothing...didn't go back to default...

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. Yes that is exactly what I mean. I took both LRM folders out of the plugin folder. I then loaded the game. All the street lights are gone. All the places there were lights before WITH the LRM....there are no more lights...the city is a lot darker now with no street lamps. I don't know where all the lamp posts go....or why they are not replaced to the default ones....
