  1. Got a quick SC4 question?... Ask here!

    MasterSim replied to City_Slider's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Not sure if someone else already asked this question, but is there a way to get around this: I like to stick with the Maxis highways because of how easy it is to make exit ramps, as much as Real Highway is the best option making exit ramps on it takes so much space.

    Omg I am so blind that I didn't see the tab for SAM this whole time....

    This is what my NAM installer shows under Street section: I am using the latest version of NAM which I believe is 44.

    My NAM installer doesn't give me the option to install SAM? Does anyone else have this problem, or know any other way I can install SAM?

    I have been struggling to $$$R skyscrapers, but I did get just one(the brown one) and I have no clue how I got it and why I am not getting anymore: Any way I can get more skyscrapers like that?
  6. I hope whoever is trying to install CAM should look at this: https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=18206.msg526918#msg526918 , so they can get DatPacker to work!
  7. IT WORKED! I reinstalled Simcity4 along with CAM, NAM, and everything you mentioned. Followed your steps exactly. CAM is installed and I finally moved all the Plugins. I made sure I cleaned up my Plugins folder too. Smog town opened up with no crashes after functional seaports were added. NAM is back and so are my power plants haha Thank you so so much for all the help and I especially thank your patience! This community is the best!
  8. I am in the process of installing CAM after reinstalling the game. I got DatPacker to run and it was completed and then I got this: Is CAM supposed to first install and then uninstall again? Should I cancel or just let it run and do its thing?
  9. I think I might just stick to the C:/ drive and the default install directory from now on. Seems like it would be easier for troubleshooting too.
  10. I just like to have my Games on a different drive from the OS. I don't know if this is beneficial or not actually, but I could just install GOG and SimCity 4 onto the C:/ drive again When I installed all the mods using installers I would have specified the path was D:/..../Simcity4/Plugins. I just kept switching the path for each mod installation. I did that for CAM too, but since I thought it didn't work properly I used 7zip and moved the files manually too. Not sure if my response answers your question?
  11. I honestly can't thank you enough for all the troubleshooting help and step-by-step procedures! I will do this and see what happens. I am running on Windows 10 and through GOG. Windows is on my C:/ drive, but SimCity is on another D:/ drive. I still have a SimCity folder on my C:/Documents which contains the Regions I am playing, but the actual Plugins are still on my D:/ drive folder.
  12. I will try cleaning it up for sure. It all does look messy. Btw did the plugins folder I send you have CAM installed? I thought I removed it before zipping it up. This is so bizarre because that Coal Power Station doesn't show up for me. I even have the mods in the plugins folder too. I am guessing NAM is working well for you too. Thank you. I will give this all one more try. If I do uninstall and reinstall the game, would just copying back the old Plugins folder give me back all the mods including NAM, etc? I would have to run the 4gb patch again of course.
  13. Would you recommend still using CAM and IRM? Since CAM caused so many issues, I am more likely to not go through with it. Although when you tried it worked out well for you... I am dreading uninstalling and redoing all my plugins actually haha, do you think I can do anything else to avoid doing this? I can follow what you did too with the plugin folders. This particular power plant was still in my city, but it wasn't there anymore on the power utility list though to make a new one. It was replaced by the original power plants from the base game.
  14. I tried installing the 4gb patch and it still didn't work. Even reinstalled NAM.. I will try uninstalling completely and try it all again.
  15. Ohhh let me try reinstalling the 4gb patch again then. I'll see if that helps!
  16. I really appreciate the help! I was hoping to uninstall SimCity 4, delete all plugins and reinstall. This is a much easier way.
  17. I actually removed all CAM folders and have the original Simcity_1.dat file and it still crashes actually. So I was running the cities that do work and realized my power plants from the Power Package Mod aren't there anymore. I checked my plugins folder and that mod file is still there, but it won't show me in-game. I was playing Jitney Junction during this, then to give it one for a try I tried opening Smog Town and it worked!! It didn't crash. However I quit the game and started again, then Smog Town crashed again. So something is seriously wrong with my Plugins. First I noticed NAM and then the power plants... If it's okay with you I can zip up my Plugins folder and upload to a google drive and share it?
  18. I am sorry, I mixed up regions and cities. Dogby region works fine, but just the city Smog Town crashes in Dogby. The other cities work well without crashing. My plugins folder is 1.95GB
  19. Well my NAM options aren't working either actually. I think I officially broke my game
  20. Also, this is what my industrial zone looks like right now in the city that doesn't crash: https://imgur.com/a/N26wt22 I tried installing CAM last night and even though it was unsuccessful, the now crashing city also showed the industrial zones like that.
  21. Oh noooo, so my previous regions are unplayable now that I installed CAM? I actually don't care about CAM anymore, I just wish I could go back to my cities and just start playing again. I do use IRM along with the new CAM version I downloaded. This is the IRM I am using:
  22. Actually, I followed this thread: on how to use the Datapacker and merge the dat files and then I was able to check if the exemplars matched and they did! I moved that Simcity_1.dat file to where the original file was and started up SimCity. When the region was loading the game crashed though Update: I started the game and only one region is crashing the game, the other two are working well. The Region with the most industrial zoning is what's causing the game to crash for some reason
  23. What does manually datpacking simicity_1.dat actually mean? I used 7zip to open the CAM 2.1 launcher and copied the files too, but there was no Simcity_1.dat file, just what was in the regular Simcity4 vanilla file.. I checked using the Reader and they don't match what you showed...

    Is there a specific thread in the forums where you can ask a question you have? Or is this thread okay?
