  1. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    I'm trying to get this small shop:
  2. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    Another thing that helps is plopping it on top of another residential, and making sure beforehand you have commercials that would satisfy the demand.
  3. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    Where can I find both the grey building with the round corner shape in the center, and the pink houses next to it? Thanks.
  4. Hi, 2 days ago Windows 11 updated itself, one of those minor updates that forces the notebook to restart a couple of times, and after so I noted the game started being slow as hell. When I move the mouse in the main screen to choose a city it just gets stuck, same happens when and if I manage to open a city, I could be playing and the game goes black out of the blue, minimizing does not seem to be an option anymore. Do you have any ideas/suggestions that won't force me to go back to an older version of the system? Nothing new seems installed, all the options are fine, it does take a couple of seconds extra to open. If I were to guess it would be a graphic issue by all the signs but I had all the plugins installed, the options for Dgvoodoo 2 didn't change. I appreciate any help whatsoever, thanks.
  5. I really don't get what is going on

    Yes, all of them. I really putting of uninstalling the game and starting from scratch again.

    I hope to get any help, I tried the usual fixs but nothing, thanks in advance.
  7. Van Prooijen Trading

    Sorry but they get abandoned since the sims can't access it. The arrow being on the back on the building is an issue I cannot seem to resolve in some of your lots.

    Thanks a lot, Diego. Truly, I was avoiding using some of yours for this very particular reason. I was trying to avoid it being abandoned.
  9. Lasalle-Wacker Building

    Hi, lovely building but why the entrance is at the back, I have the same issue with most of your buildings, unless it is some bug in mine.

    Diego, no tengo realmente idea porqué, y me pasa seguido con tus edificios que la flecha de ingreso siempre apunta a la parte trasera, ¿será un problema de mi juego o la forma en que se carga? He borrado muchos por eso.
  11. PC too powerful to run SC4?

    Thanks, I've already corrected that, do you have any guide? I didn't know SC4 Launcher wasn't in use anymore, it seems I lost a lot this half year.
  12. PC too powerful to run SC4?

    Hi, jumping into this... I have some issues with DgVoodoo, so let's recap: I followed the instructions, I did everything by the book but the game opens in a windows mode, the mouse icon fails to position themselves over each menu so I have to move it further for it to actually select something. Of course the game eventually crashed so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I installed it today, SC4 launcher settings below: DgVoodoo settings below: What should I correct? Previously I was having a lot of options given I selected NAM in Ultra, now I wished I hadn't actually deleted the whole thing for I took a lot of time, and patience to go step by step to install it again. Thanks.
  13. Hi, first and foremost, I must go backwards to into the last changes I made. New computer, sort of getting to understand the graphics issues: It all went well until I did two things. I installed Growify and then the new NAM. The game sort of did well, if albeit a bit slower which makes total sense, I used to plop a lot of residentials via lotplop and buildingplop but from then on all the sims commuting take a tolls into into the game, me checking the traffic visualization a lot to correct traffic, and reinstalling the NAM a couple of times as to reduce the demand for avenues everywhere (they are annoying, aren't they?) and I made it to ultra as to get him to stop. Now, since then, all the big cities became quite unstable, which, again, I know, I save it like maniac, every 20', and 30', but now in the big cities I can hardly play (even with the game paused) more than 12', 14' minutes for it crashes to desktop weirdly, it is still on but it shows the desktop, or closes it altogether. I don't know whether to go back to the old NAM and see how it goes, I made a back up as you do, and then get growify again, I don't think i f... up while installing the latest option but to me, something is off with NAM. I made a back up from the old computer just in case but I would rather avoid going that way unless I have a choice. Thoughts? Sorry I can't provide any screenshots but as I said, there are no glitches, or weird things, the game is simply unstable as hell, especially with big cities.
  14. Crashing to desktop in a weird way

    Well, I'm finally able to catch up with this after a long year, and many test (going back to college), and NAM was the issue. I uninstalled the game unnecessarily. I set to Ultra and it was too much for the game, the things we do to stop the traffic nonsense complaints...
  15. As most of you, I'm dealing with poppables et al, I downloaded Jenx's Hôtel de Ville, I was lucky enough with most downloads, they usually work, I follow rules and that's it, until now: as this has no roof, I choose to check the dependencies, tried them all to no avail. Now it has not even most of the walls... nevertheless, what bothers me the most is any of those dependencies have affected avenues somhow, They look odd or boxes appear where flora is supposed to be, what shall I do?

  16. Crashing to desktop in a weird way

    Well, I did have a lot of orange/red, and I couldn't delete the city to make everything into an all American Avenue Paradise, hence my change to ultra, and yes, I think most of my problems started there. The mix of growify, and Ultra was perhaps too much for this 2003 game, in any case, I will install everything again this weekend since I really didn't have the time before and see how it goes. Wish me luck.
  17. Crashing to desktop in a weird way

    Well, I got to the point where I think, much to my chagrin, I must uninstall the game, check all the plugins, and go for the old NAM for a while and start putting it all back together since it all started when I add growify + the new NAM. Is there any way of getting old versions of the NAM if needed?
  18. Crashing to desktop in a weird way

    Yes, DGVoodoo, the whole shebang. It is one the first things I did on the new computer to be honest but then the graphic glitch showed up, hence my previous request, I know I will have to install the old NAM again but I was hoping to avoid it.
  19. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    Hi, I may be too sleepy by now, but I ask the same to you @catty-cb and @Tyberius06, will these ever be released? Are these even attainable now? Sorry for all the questions, and thanks for showing me the way to the original files but I would love to have Paeng's one, at least the auditorium.
  20. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    Were these two from @paeng ever released? I can't find them, I'm talking about both the cage (right, barely seen) and the auditorium: I'm also interested in the palms and the pandurata found in the 2nd image, where can I get those, same for the bushes with red flowers, I don't remember being seen these as ploppable. Same with the image above, I want the floral bushes located in the middle, I know this is a stretch but It does not hurt to ask.
  21. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    It kind-a of did but it had the excavator sign, and it work. I didn't have yours with the arrows and I'm using the last one.
  22. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    I am, where is it located? I'm sure it is right in front of my eyes but I'm not quite used to it yet.
  23. Can't find it?... Ask here!

    After installing the NAM, and erasing the old folder, I realized I lost the mod (or tool?) to raise the terrain, you know the one that allows you to go 7.5 m, 15 m, and so on. I can't remember its name.
