hmmm ok thanks for the help ♥ if i still have problem with it i'll just post here. thank you

thats the only thing that can be causing it? that's very strange because i never open up the same file at all when im importing a new building but ok. ill try that. thank you ♥

So, i just installed NAM for SimCity 4 because i saw pictures of the highways and thought they were really cool. Now, i just learned that NAM is MUCH more complicated that i thought. but i guess i could catch onto it eventually. Here's my questions for now. 1.) is there a way to connect a NAM-road to a normal SimCity in-game road? and if so how? 2.) is there a way to connect a NAM-highway to a road? and if so how? 3.) for the NAM highways and neighbor-cities-connection, is there a certain thing i have to do to make the NAM roads or highways go out of the cities and connect to the other boarding cities? Also, are there any tutorials i can follow? most of the ones i found online are outdated.

SimCity 4 is a really fun game (funniest in the whole series in my opinion) BUT there's just one thing that kinda gets to me. I don't really like how the whole map is a grid and all the cities have to be shaped as squares. I have a whole regions that's supposed to be a country, but I want to draw state-lines/borders around it from the city view (blame my OCD for caring so much about that) I'm just curious, does anyone have a method of doing this? What i'm planning on doing is using the sign/label tool and adding a bunch of dashes: '-' around to make it look like a state line, but does anyone think there's a better way of doing this?

if u run out of space in the city or region yeah unless you wanna tare stuff down.

I got it fixed. i just reinstalled it. i have the disk version. i figured out how to get those to work with windows 10. and i knew how to backup all my stuff to (just make a backup of the SimCity 4 documents folder). It works now thanks ♥

^i guess that'll have to do. looks good enough

sorry to bump this old topic, but does anyone here know where i can download a SimCity 4 mod that lets me literally draw (or lay down) a line through the land? like on google maps like this: i thought of just using the labeling text, but that whole process seems just a bit too tedious. i was wondering if there was just a mod i could use.

i have to reinstall the game? what about all the mods i made for SimCity 4? can i back those up? and the regions i built? how would i do that?

^how do i restore them? what if there's 2 of them? Here's one of the patchlog.txt. i tried installing all 4 patches from here: https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?page=16 Applying MODIFY File Patch for 'SimCity_4.dat' New Version of File 'SimCity_4.dat' already exists.

im having this same issue when i tried to install NAM. SKU2 didnt work for me either i got this error message when i tried installing the update too:

I hope this makes sense, but say you have a bunch of cities in a huge region connected, do the sims ever travel between them? like if a sim in one city needs a job, and the city next to it has plenty of industrial and commercial zoning, will the sim be able to drive over there to work? I always see cars in the cities going in and out of the city. does it really work that way? and also, why else would sims travel out of the cities?

hmm, sounds quite complex. i actually have a huge region of cities connected for this gaming SimCity 4 series im doing for youtube. didnt know the sim's behavior was that advanced. i use the money tree mods though. those seem to help out a lot lol

interesting, but would the sims ever travel to a city that's multiple city squares away? if there was a freeway or subway to take them there? and also, how do i check the commute query? is that a thing that tells me where the sims are traveling to?

oh interesting but they'll still continue to live in the same city but just will be traveling and working in another one? ^i know i kinda asked that already but just double checking

Well this all has a happy ending I couldn't get the model from 3dwarehouse to work right in the game, HOWEVER, i was able to use pieces of it and used them to rebuild it myself in milkshape. Here's what I got ^it's the battle tower from Mobile Alabama the tallest building in the state of Alabama! I needed it for my gaming series I'm doing on YouTube I'm building all the cities along I-65 right now, and i couldn't have Mobile without it's tallest and coolest building But i also need to remember to correctly pronounce it as MOE-BEEL and not MO-BULL or MO-BYE-UL so people don't think i'm awkward... ^it's funny because in that video i even said i would make them myself in the future But thanks for all of your help everyone ♥

ahh :-( ok then. i really liked that building but i guess i'll just have to make it by myself. And I do have expirence with 3D meshing. I made the buildings of Charlotte North Carolina in Milkshape. I'm sure i can make the battle tower of Mobile Alabama by myself now too. but thanks for all your help ♥ if any of you figure out any other solutions PLEASE let me know ♥ but thank you guys ♥

how would i extract the buildings out of google earth though? i thought the buildings from 3dwarehouse were the same thing

UPDATE: i'm still having some problems with applying the textures again, here's another visual of what's going on right now:

but i didn't want to paint the building or create new textures, i just wanted the original textures from the 3dwarehouse model. is there anyway to get the textures to show up on the other side instead so they're visible? im not sure what you meant by the tool, but i believe you mean that it does that. which tool is it? do i have to download it from somewhere? UPDATE: i think i got it now, the eye drop tool and paint bucket tool.

well i wanted to use the textures from the original model from 3d warehouse, but how do i add the textures? do i do that in sketchup? or BAT? and how do i know what goes where?

ok, I tried this, but it still didn't exactly solve the problem. The building shape in Gmax seems to be correct now, but the textures still aren't showing up right. Here's what it looked like as it was rendering: is there anyway i could get them to show up correctly?

Also, i never had this problem with any of the other buildings i imported the same way and here's a video of what's going on:

check the import settings in BAT? how would i do that though? and i tried reloading the textures but that didnt work either. it still rendered the same way and if the faces are inside out, how do i make it so they're not inside out?

UPDATE: actually, this problem isn't solved. now im having this problem with another building that doesn't have an alternate download option on 3d warehouse. help?
