Not sure if this is possible, but can you build an underground road? And if so...how do you see underground to do this? I have a building on the edge of the map, but there is no room to put a road on either side...one side is the edge if the map, the other side is an elevated highway. Right now, I have this thing, that makes it look like the road goes down and under the building and comes out on the other side. Is there a way to do an underground road...like a tunnel? Thanks in advance.

I was playing SC4 for awhile on another computer. I recently got a newer computer...still running Windows 7. I installed the game on the new computer and added my mods and files from the old computer....which I have done before without incident. Anyways, I started up the game on the new computer and clicked the city I wanted...and when it loaded up...I was scanning across and noticing that some building were invisible...but would be visible if I moved the cursor over them...and then be gone when I moved the cursor away. Or buildings would be partly there...or see through them. I snapped a screenshot. Is there a way to fix this or do I need to reinstall all the mods all over again? Thanks in advance.

[Solved] Graphics Issues Help!!
dekiscool replied to dekiscool's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
I went to the Intel site and downloaded the newest driver, however it said it wasn't compatible with my computer. Anyways, I went to the device manager and clicked on Display Adapters, right clicked on the adapter and chose Properties. I then clicked on the Driver tab and clicked the Update Driver option. It downloaded it and gave me driver version 10.18.14.4029 from November 18th, 2014. The old driver from a year or 2 before that. I then reloaded everything and didn't change anything...like mentioned above...the " C:\Program Files-Games\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -CPUCount:1 -CustomResolution:enabled -r1600x900x32 -d:OpenGL" or Software or DirectX....I didn't do that...and it seems just fine now with the driver upgrade. -

I want to thank everyone and especially Indianna Joe. It appears the game is fixed. I took your advice and updated my video driver....then reinstalled SC4...and added in all my old files for the game...started the game up and it ran beautifully...no more planes or cars looking like the pics above...they are the way they are supposed to be. So thank you all very much!! -
I recently installed SC4 on my newer desktop. I moved my cities I have done on my laptop and put them on the newer desktop. Everything was going ok...I could see my cities...other than a few graphics issues. Anyways...I decided to uninstall and reinstall SC4 and see if this might help but it didn't. Then I noticed that only one of my cities was showing up. I looked in the folders...they and they had been moved from Berlin to a Download folder. I moved them back...still only see one city. I went back to the folders and the cities are where they should be...just can't see them in the Region screen of the game. Any ideas? Also...I thought deleting any of the mods I installed would help another issue...but they don't seem to have been removed when I reload the game. Do I have to delete the city and start over? Thanks in advance

Well I just reinstalled SC4 off this newer computer....then reinstalled it. I saved the folders and files from the my documents/sc4 folder...and moved them to my desktop. I then put the old files and folders from the older computer and put those in the the my documents/sc4 folder. I loaded up the game and everything was there!! Very happy. Thats everyone! I appreciate the time!!

Also...since my cities were saved on the other computer and moved to this one, Just deleting the files of the hd planes or hd cars won't work, will it? I tried to delete the HD police cars, but they are still there when I do the free ride... -

Any suggestions on a good card? I thought, given that the Card I have is an Intel HD card...it should be all good... -

So my best bet would be to get a new graphics card? What do you have? Any recommendations? -

Ok....so I tried -d:OpenGL and -d:Software. Both are decent...the only difference was with OpenGL...I had to use my keyboard directional keys to scroll around my city. With Software, I was able to use the mouse to scroll around the city. I then tried -d:DirectX and I the planes and cars came back but I was back to square one with missing buildings, ghost buildings or partial buildings. I moved the game mods and stuff from a Windows 7 64 bit laptop where it ran fine....to this newest computer. Not sure what is different that I am having these issues.... -

I want to say I got it on this site....I will have to go through my mods and find it...when I do I will let you know send it to you -
As I stated in a previous...recent post...I am back to playing this game. I was going through my buildings in the game and noticed that some come up as just Custom Ploppable, Type Your Name Here, Grass Area, or Landmark Lot. Is there a way to change the names so it tells you what it really is? I had an Ikea mod and when I moved the cursor over it, it said "The Home Depot". I opened the file in the Lot Editor, but did see a way to change the name...as it already said Ikea Home Furnishings...but in the game was coming up as Home Depot. I when into the folder, and opened up the .sc4lot file in a text and found where it said Home Depot and changed it to Ikea. Saved it...and then reloaded the game. Now, Ikea is NOT in the list. Is there a way to change these?? Thanks.

Nevermind. I found a program and was able to edit what I wanted.

Started back playing again...but having been checking in from time to time on the new buildings etc coming out. The question I have today...is there anyway to categorize the buildings so they show up under their own categories instead of just lumped in under Fire, Police, Medical, other buildings? I'd like to have all hotels under a category, banks under another, gas stations under another, grocery stores under yet another and restaurants under another and so on. Is this possible so it isn't a long clogged mess under just one category? Thanks in advance

Where can I get that mall?!! -
I have a lot of elevated highways, and I was wondering if there is a way to put highway signs on the elevated highways...like the signs that go over the whole highway? If so, how do I do this? Thanks in advance

I got a note from one of my advisers that I needed an airport and got the option to build a medium airport. After a while I noticed that the runway lights weren't working and no planes were coming or going. So I figured it wasn't being used, so I deleted it. The adviser gave me an option to build it again...so I did...same result...no planes...and also the runway tiles are messed up. So I deleted it again, and built a small international airport...which funny enough...is bigger than the medium airport I had. Anyways...I am having the same issue with the small airport...no planes. I have a feeling with the tiles, there is a conflict and I will have to delete one of my mods... but what can I do about the airport not being used? Thanks in advance...
-
Yeah I ended up getting that one because the one I downloaded yesterday or the day before that I THOUGHT was it, turned out to be the Regional Airport. So I copied the thing you posted...about the AC Grass Airstrip and put it in a google search and found it...along with all the dependencies. So far so good. Although I don't see any planes taking off or landing...
-
The airport mod I was using was pretty simple and straight forward...it was just with the Regional AC Functional...there was just too much.
-
I tried it but there were too many things, and I just didn't care for it. Gonna go back to the one I had. I know it doesn't seem like I gave it a chance, but it just was not appealing to me.

Hi. I just DL'ed a mod for street lights that are supposed to work on streets, highways etc. Is there a way to put lights on an elevated highway?? Thanks
