Awesome brother

DOES High TRAFFIC NOISE is one of the core reason for building Abandonment ?? Other than my Commute time, school grade, hospital grade, Crime rate and land value is perfect.

Thank You rsc204 !!! That's the final Nail in the coffin.

Great to have your acknowledgement regarding this, i appreciate that highly. My last queries: However instead of renaming Simcity_1.dat to .BAK i just simply moved it from plugins SimCity_1 folder in some other drive, i hope this is what you meant by keeping it safe somewhere else. Hence the Simcity_1 folder in plugins now only have one file '"z_CAM_2.1.0_Stand_Permanent Merge.dat". Also do i have to retain the folder "Simcity_1" with the file '"z_CAM_2.1.0_Stand_Permanent Merge.dat" in it - in the plugins???? (Amateur question again but it will clear the fog from my mind permanently as i am about to install huge amount of other plugins later).

rsc204: Thank you very much for your earlier reply. I am just afraid whether I am misplacing a "SimCity_1.dat" core file with another. I would like to describe the steps below how I am installing the whole CAM thing, so by that you can directly point out weather I am going wrong or not ( I will try my best to be brief): 1. After installing a fresh game with fresh NAM, I installed SC4_datpacker with three of its minions I mean the .dll files. And the application opens perfectly. 2. I start installing CAM with regular instructions & error – Sc4_datpacker failure to update. And instruction to place the Simcity_1.dat in plugins Simcity_1 folder manually from core installed directory. After that instruction the installation finishes with saying "the CAM has been installed successfully in your PC" as I continued ignoring the errors because it lets me continue the installation process. 3. After completion of installation, in the Outside of plugins a folder name “Original SimCity Files” created and inside plugins “a_CAM” folder and the “Simcity_1” folder created automatically, with their usual files inside these folders which are describe below: Original SimCity Files: SimCity Application file & Simcity_1.dat a_CAM: Usual 2 folders name a_core & core buildings. Simcity_1: z_CAM_2.1.0_Stand_Permanent Merge.dat 4. Now I copy the "Simcity_1.dat" to "Simcity_1 Folder" with existing z_CAM_2.1.0_Stand_Permanent Merge.dat in the plugins from the core installed directory (which is in my other drive) where four other numbers of .dat file are present. 5. Now I start Sc4_datpacker (force repacking option in the packer not checked) and select the “simcity_1.dat” files shown in the list. There’s also a_cam folder in the list in case it matters. The process completes by creating the "plugins_compressed folder” in the plugins folder with new simcity_1.dat file in it. 6. If i understood correctly you told me to move that newly created "simcity_1.dat" to the core installed directory and hence replacing with existing one there which I moved early to plugins “Simcity_1 folder” for sc4datpacking. (This is the only time I override “Simcity_1.dat” in the whole process or should I???). 7. After that I remove the folder. I hope I have rest my case properly to you. I would appreciate your valuable reply on this. I apologize for giving you so much trouble. Also please let me know how I would understand that the CAM is installed properly during the game play in first hand and last but not least when during the process to rename the “Simcity_1.dat” in plugins “simcity_1 folder” to .bak.

rsc204: Which original location can you please tell me mention in your no. 5 step : 1. Outside of the plugin folder which folder name "original SimCity files" OR 2. Inside plugin folder - " SimCity_dat" both folders also have SimCity_dat. file. And I appreciate all the help you are giving us through your restless reply.
