Hey, nice to hear, that it works so easily. If you are modifying succesfully some train stations - do you think it would be possible to share them with whose mac users who don't have windows? I am asking because I have the very same problem here (as well as all other mac users), but am unable to fix it myself.

You can put my CJs in your list as well, if you want to. I am playing on a Mac, too. barnatom

Well, I have a powerbook - changing the graphic card seems unpractical. BTW, there is a GeForce FX Go5200 32MB in it, isn't that a card by Nvidia?

Thank you very much oranger74! I tried to reproduce your settings, and many more again. But without succes. The grid lines stay. Seems to depend on your computer hardware...

Replies: Bongoswimp: Thank you, I am glad that you like Astoria. thestis: Welcome to Simtropolis! And welcome to Cadott Bay, too. But sorry, you cannot download this region. You can only look at the pictures of it here. Cjah: Yes, PEG's things work well with the castle. I wish I could use the other castles here on the STEX, but they all have the Maxis castle as dependency. And since I cannot register on their site, I don't have it . Simworld 056132: Thank you very much! You are welcome. Leini: Thank you for this nice comment! Cadott Bay, #32 regional views This time I have only a small update for you. Here are some pictures showing the region as it is developed right now: 32.1 32.2 32.3 I hope you like this.

Jerebannus: Thank you for trying to help, but this is not the usual grid. You can see that in the pictures I posted above. On the open grass areas there are no grid lines. And pressing 'g' doesn't change the lines I am talking about. The lines appear between developed tiles and are not affected by the usual grid. This is clearly a bug in the graphics system. barnatom

zelgadis: Thank you very much for your answer. It is the same I got some months ago. But I still do hope (see post of oranger74). oranger74: Thank you so much! This is exactly what I thought. This problem seems to affect only some Macs. Could you post your system specs (especially video card) as well as your graphic options of SC4? That would be very helpful. Since this problem does not occure on your (older) Mac, I am thinking it could be related to the video-card. Do you have the hardware or the software graphic option checked? About the updates: I was unable to find the v101 update. However I have the other ones. Could you provide a link to the missing one? Thank you.

JayStimson: As far as I can say (I lived in spain for some years) the olive trees are a very exact recreation of the real ones. They have that 'gum drop' at the bottom, there the trunk goes over to the roots. At least the old ones. And they have silver shining, dark green leaves as well. Perhaps the lower parts of the trunks are a little bit too bright, too much sticking out of the green ground texture... The other trees would be better without this thick base, perhaps...

Welcome to page 54 of Simtropia (one of the best CJs ever) OMG!!! This surely are the most beautiful and realistic and detailed trees ever seen in SC4! I especilly like the olive trees, the other ones are a little bit too fictional for my taste but looking great as well. ... imagening what other trees might be done ... Great work!!!

Thank you very much for all your nice words, dfnva, jacqulina, aleking, Simworld 056132, CDI_spy, mudspreader and PhilsCafe. I hope you will like this one, too. Cadott Bay, #31 the castle of Astoria 31.1 31.2 31.3 31.4 31.5 31.6 31.7 31.8 31.9 31.10 Have fun!

Replies: I am very glad that again so many of you have left a comment. This kind of support is getting me forward to new updates. Thank you! rooker1, Bongoswimp, magpieshooter, jacqulina, jglei701, Kwakelaar, bat, GMT, Cjah, AlexNielsen7, Nardo69, Thut, threeswept, Micah, pikatchoum, Falcon49 and CDI_spy: A big thank you to all of you! Vandy: Thank you for your long reply. I hope that the walls will be made as well. But at this moment it looks like Constantina is busy with other things, so we may have to wait some time. About the plaza lots: I still haven't found someone who is able to mod, package and upload them. If you know someone, please let me know about it. And thank you for posting a link to my CJ in your 'plopable water' thread, I am very honoured. I will surely show more images of this kind of water here... mike_oxlong: Welcome to Cadott Bay! I am glad that you like it. mattb325: Thank you for visiting and posting! I feel very honoured about it, because I really adore your own work. Oh, yes, sometimes I think about what would be possible if I could only use the LotEditor. But I do my best with all the great things that are available on the STEX. I am glad that I could help you by posting the link to mayang's texture site. Good bye till next time, here or in your BAT thread... MasterPlanMan: Thank you! I am happy that you like the riversides in Auxerre. I did my best. Simbourgeois: Thank you for opening page 11! Some things I need your help for: I am still looking for someone able to do the modding and uploading of the Kwakelaar plaza lots. If you want them on the STEX please help! If you know someone who might be able to do it, ask him or her. The issue about the ugly grid lines was brought up again at the beginning of this CJ. To resume it: In every image posted in this thread you will notice some ugly dotted lines between all developed tiles, but not on open grass land. These lines are not the normal grid lines. Some months ago, in my UK village CJ, someone told me that this is a bug of the Mac version of SC4. But recently I saw some other Mac CJs that didn't have these lines. So I would like to know how many Mac players have the same problem. I opened a thread about this issue in the Mac section of the forums, but there seem to be few visitors over there. I posted some images in this new thread clearly showing the problem. View them here . If you are playing on a Mac as well, please let me know if you have this lines or if you don't. Or if you know something about this problem, perhaps even if there is a solution, please let me know about it as well. I would really like to understand this issue better. Cadott Bay, #30 first pictures of Astoria Some of you will remember my UK village. This Astoria is a little bit like it. I will show you some randomly picked images this time, to give you an idea of the look and feel of this city: 30.1 30.2 30.3 30.4 30.5 30.6 30.7 30.8 And here is an overview of the town centre: 30.9 I hope you will like this new town as well.

Well, I cannot update my game, because I cannot register on Maxis site (the serial numbers of the Mac version don't work there). However, as far as I know, there are no updates for the Mac version. Only a small patch (168 kB) fixing some minor problems. I have installed that one. I have allready installed the game twice, but without any change in this issue.
