Hi I am having some real problems with connecting the PEG CDK SV Ferry terminal to roads. Not just this particular ferry terminal but all of the PEG Ferry terminals. As you can see in the picture the road can be placed along side, but when I try and connect a road to the terminal road it doesn't work, just will not let me. Another question is when using the PEG leveller it becomes difficult to place lots as it says it is "Overlapping a protected zone" Very strange, but hopefully someone who knows more than I can help. Thanks

Newbie to the site. There is a massive amount of information to take in. My basic question is the App Store version of SC4 Deluxe I just purchased this week up to date concerning patches? I know I need to get the NAM and will do, but is there anything else essential to make the game optimally updated? Thanks from a newcomer Andy

I think you need a little more help with this than just blind searching. There are a lot of maps that are simply unplayable, stunning, but unplayable. Check out Digby, Gotham and Lamont on the STEX and I think you will be satisfied.

Have always been a big fan of simcity but have always disliked the sims games. It is of course personal preference, but I prefer the strategy and city building than just playing around as a sim.

Do I have to render the region again (even if it is currently blank with nothing, i.e., vegetation) or as long as it is fresh and clean, so to say it is ok? Yes, levels of terrain definitely have an affect on the vegetation, but after a lot of testing I like the AErden, but it misses a lot of the reds (they only appear at very high altitude) where the only growth would be small conifers and spruces. You can just exchange terrain mods without problems. Most of my regions have seen several different ones. There's sometimes the odd height difference in region view, but that does not affect function and will vanish as soon as you saved every tile with the new mod at least once. If you mean tree controllers, even in that case you can switch, as long as you keep the MMP's for the old trees. I have a region that has mixes of Maxis tree cover, forests made with the PNW tree controller and others with the Cascadia one. Just keep the MMP's, and you're good. Great, answered my question really. I think I will give Cascadia a shot, only a couple of more dependencies I need to get then. Cool Thanks All.

I am also using AErden, but the diversity is somewhat lacking (especially when it comes to the reddish trees). So I guess my extra question would be Cascadia and what terrain mod works best together? Thanks.

After a ton of googling I am not sure this exists so thought I would ask here. Is there a mod/way to get the time to stop on a particular date? For example, if I am playing along and forget myself and my time a little and I want to plant some more seasonal trees on 1st September I would like the game to auto-pause on that date. Just a thought, maybe it is not possible or feasible, but I can see some function by being able to toggle when needed an auto pause at a specified time.

OK. Thanks for the tips. I guess I was looking for the lazy mans way out, something that I can just toggle when needed. At least with the extra dll cheats I can get to an exact date when needed. I have to test my tree controller and all of my seasonal trees again, will try that tonight, but what I am aware and my experience (as long as I am not kidding myself), the plopping of seasonal trees is dependent on when they are put in. Thanks again

Hi Everyone Does anyone know the best/easiest/simplest way to get a downloaded region map from the STEX into and playable on my Steam version of SC4 on the MAC? The links here to SC4 Mapper for Mac (downloaded from MEGA) is a corrupt/non working file. I have photoshop if that helps. If I use SC4 Mapper through WINE I cannot get my file out of WINE and into my region folder in My Documents, so that seems not viable. Thanks for your help

For me I found that file was corrupt and didn't work. I think there were a couple of others too that reported the same thing.

I am trying to get these individual .dat files to complete my dependencies for the Aerden Tree Controller. They are from the VIP Team. Or_VIP_Corylus.dat Or_VIP_Narcissus.dat Or_VIP_Populus.dat R6_VIP_IrisDesMaraisSaisonniers.dat Vnaoned_VIP_Fougeres.dat VIP_VV_Trees_Props.dat VIP_Or_Aesculus_Props.dat VIP_Or_Fagus_Props.dat I have located and downloaded the relevant packs, but with all of my .exe extractors (Filejucier, Unarchiver and Keka) they don’t extract the files, fatal errors are given as the reason. Even though on the VIP read me they say file juicer should work, it doesn’t. I use Wine ordinarily, but with these .exe files they want to stay in Wine (they need a drive folder). I usually trick the “install” and take that drive need away and a new folder is created that I can then directly access and then move my files into my plugins folder. A sweet trick I found. 99% of all .exe files work for me in that way, but these don’t want to play ball. Is there any other way I can get these few .dat files? Such a small number of files. Thanks for any help or advice.

Yes, the installer seems different than usual, but it has all worked out! Thanks so much for your help and also the VIP team.

I am new to simcity 4 and I can honestly say I have probably spent more time downloading, learning and troubleshooting (especially as I use mac) than actually playing the game. I am just trying to get a tree controller to work right now, had the last downloads done but still get a couple of brown boxes (more hours troubleshooting and testing). Now I have decided to just start playing, forget any new ways to enhance the game (apart from some new stunning BATs that will come out) and basically do what I want and that is play, not fiddling with my plugin folder.

That really is quite staggering when you think about it. For one game to get 100million downloads of mods on just this site alone is amazing. The STEX is simply addictive and the possibility we may get some "surprises" in the next few weeks is massively teasing.

This is a much better mod for getting lots of cash immediately. The trees do come generally with some issues.

Wow, I don't have an answer to this problem, but that is some mighty pollution. However, as T Wrecks said, do you have any cheats, LOTs or BATs that are supposed to deal with pollution and are these of a more radical nature?

Thank You yarahi and thanks for turning me towards reddonquixote's content, fond memories of my few years in NZ and Melbourne. Some stunning work and the Flinders street station looks like an epic station BAT

I am only up to 3100 files in a very well sorted and organised (many folders) steam version and as of yet not encountered issues. What happens when I add another 600 files I am yet to find out. Hopefully someone has a definitive answer, but the steam version I have is very stable and playable (at present). Nice!! Mine kept crashing when I had a lot of sub folders, so it Looks like I'm going to have to get it when it goes on sale. Thanks!! Yes, It is 10 Euros now, but will probably go down again soon. I got it for 5 Euro on that massive sale. Definitely get it when it is for sale again. Good luck. I just checked how many files are in my folder (that's completely unorganized) and it's currently working with 3068 files, so I think we are currently in the same boat. My folder is currently 2.75GB, do you mind if I ask how big yours is? Someone on the SC4 subreddit suggested that I was extremely close to the limit for a 32bit application, but I'm not sure if Aspyr's version is still 32bit since it works in sandbox mode and should have access to virtual memory. My folder is just over 1GB with the roughly 3100 files. I naturally remove all readme, .jpgs and other miscellaneous files and keep in a mirror folder for reference. It takes time to keep thing organised and clean, but worth it when things start acting up. Not sure on the mac, but I know many people here are playing with up to 8GB (average around 4GB) of plugins. So I am less worried about the size myself. I have not done any dat packing, but there is a dat packer out compatible for mac. I downloaded it but haven't used it yet. As long as everything works "unpacked" I am happy. Maybe you do this too, but anything I download I add one by one and check it works before committing to playing with it. Helps with any crashes and weird in game clashes too.

This fantastic screenshot by Gigius76. I wonder what the train station and the long sand coloured building in the middle are? Does anyone know? Thanks
