important Microsoft releases update, blocks SC4 from starting
redscouse commented on Cyclone Boom's article in News
I haven't had any luck with contacting EA/Origin to redeem my codes via webchat. which did you find worked for you? webchat, having EA give you a call, or calling their customer service hotline? Sorry, but for me it was the Live Help webchat, there was no phone calling involved. It took about 10 minutes to connect and I chatted ,live, with a contact for about 30 minutes, swopping codes and security info in the process. You do need the Origin client installed with an open account. Give the Live Help another try, just make sure you have the time to wait for a connection. -
important Microsoft releases update, blocks SC4 from starting
redscouse commented on Cyclone Boom's article in News
I've just redeemed my old disc codes for a digital copy of SC4 Deluxe at Origin/EA Live Help. A pleasant 'no problem' experience. The contact even tried to give me a separate copy of Rush Hour which is no longer available digitally but hey... It all works fine now, time to remod. Thank you to all here for the info and advice. @ deanva. If you purchase from Steam, games are installed to; Program Files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common If from Origin they are installed to; Program Files(x86)/Origin Games There are icons in the main game folders that you can 'send to' desktop for quickstart shortcuts. -

Which City Sim Should I Replace Sc4 With?
redscouse replied to herbigharo32's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Don't know where you've been getting your SC4 files from but I've dl'd hundreds over the years and not one single corruption. Simtrop, Simpeg, SC4Devotion, TCP, all these sites and others and I can't remember any saves getting corrupted either. I've reinstalled many times after hardware changes without problems and it's running fine now on this new(for me) Win7/64 upgrade There's no need to replace SC4 but I guess Skylines might be an alternative in a year or so (unless something better shows up).... Stick with the best.... -

Simtropolis downloads and website VERY SLOW
redscouse replied to nekomaster's topic in Simtropolis Related
If I may. At the moment no matter what I type into the search window, I get zero returns. Last night I was looking through 4-5 pages of 'stadium' but when I reached page 3, I was presented with 'nothing found for stadium'. After that nothing I tried would filter a listing. It's still returning zero this morning. Maybe some maintenance is taking place? I noticed SC4 Devotion search was down for quite a while at the weekend.- 24 Replies

Another necro..... Any support still? When I use the plop version there are white lines in semi-circles across the whole lot. I have 2 plop versions in my reward menu but they both look the same. Is there a thread anywhere, to post screenies? I have the 2009 version of SFBT Essentials, I know it specifies 2005 version in the readme but that's not available from my searches.

Of Railyards and Steel Mills
redscouse replied to north country dude's topic in SC4 - Custom Content
2 years later...... Do you still support the Inner City Freight Station? I'm having no luck getting any freight traffic to appear. The station is connected north, with east and west spurs, by rail, and to industry zones by road. There is power and water aplenty. Is this station compatible with NAM for RRW and RUM for RRW? Those are the track and road sets I'm using and I've noticed that no road freight goes near the station. Will the traffic recognise NAM road connections to this station? I have a southern rail connection but due to a fractional dip in ground elevation when I laid some road nearby, it appears to have broken the track connection at that end. Should it not be more flexible or does the land around the station have to be perfectly flat? -

A bit necro but.... having spent an age to get all the extras in place, including Gizmo's, I was disappointed to find that, if not placed on perfect flat ground then the base textures flicker a lot with the addition of road and rail connections and any other buildings around, especially the open ground near the water tanks and mineral piles, this mostly turns black with any small changes in surrounding elevations. Also the rail connections tend to break at the gates when road connections are made. Comes with an instant 5300/5300 workers even if there are no residents or road/water/power connections. It looks fantastic but just can't get it working right....

BR InterCity 125 (Class 43 (II)) Passenger Train
redscouse commented on MandelSoft's file in Automata
Thank you.. this is a luvverly lookin' bit of kit but the coaches seem a bit too long for the turns and the rear coach always 'snaps' sideways on bends. Also when travelling over bumpy ground the textures disappear and reappear depending on which part of the train is passing over the high spot, like it's going through the bump instead of over it, if you catch me drift.. Looks class though.. nice one. -
