I got it! I couldn't get the 640 update to take. I ended up dragging my simcity4.exe (version 1.1.613.0) from the CD, running the EP1 update, then the update4BAT. Finally nitelites. I haven't played in night moderealy at all, but If I'm going to fool around with making buildings I want to be able to nite lite them. Thanks for your help. And it turns out my posts were in the wrong thread, not a bat4max issue, my building lights up fine now that I got this patched properly. Feel free to delete this to keep the thread clean.

Yup, Cobb Central Park west should have nitelites and doesn't. something is up with my install. I might do a fresh install....

Hi Jason, thanks for responding so quickly. I think you may be on to something there. I ran the sku updater when i first installed SC4, and my app version says 1.1.638.0, but I'm not seeing nitelites in much (all?) of of the custom content i have downloaded, like the cobb buildings, andover tower, etc. I have tried this both with and without simfox trunight plugin. I just reran the sku updater and get an error saying the old file was not found. I will play around with this, I think it might very well be the issue. Thanks for steering me away from looking at my model, I was going in circles there and the renders take a few minutes : D

Hi All, I have created a model with both day and night renders in 3ds max 2012. The fsh files have been successfully inserted into my sc4model file. When I navigate through it in iLives reader I can see my day and night textures in there correctly. Thing is, it won't render the night version in SC4. The building is powered, and its power usage is set to 150. I have tried in a few different cities with the same results, only the day shows up, an at night time it's a darkened version of the day render. This is my first model. I have tried rendering it out a few times with the same results. I'd be thrilled if someone could take a look at the actual model and my lot to see what the problem is. http://benchpipe.com/ThePru.zip
